Stamford

I lost what little respect I had for uncle Fester, when he went up with the players in the ECL final with that inane smile on his face. I suppose he must be doing something right, otherwise Roman would have sacked him by now.

I think you are getting over concerned RX8. We will get the right players in the end. If people like Pato will only come for £200k a week, then we will not be buying them, simple as that. "Having the Wenger eye" as you put it, hasn't done much for Arsenal for four years has it? Also the comment about us being in the shadow of Utd, Barca, Liverpool and Milan, doesn't hold much water as we have been unlucky in the Champions league for the last few seasons. Tech9C, I agree with that, we have been down the overpriced superstars route before, so now is time for change and consistency.

Being sponsored by Garmin didn't help them last year, it took them the wrong way to the Championship, all this season they will have an irritating voice telling them to turn around, you have gone the wrong way.

I was very sceptical about him taking Makelele's role in the beginning, but along with Malouda he was our most improved player over last season. I hope he does stay a long time, he puts everything in when he plays.

Apart from being downright racist and I quote This article is obviously written by a twat, and deserves no further comment.

Put these words into some semblance of order to see what I think.... up shut Pastorello fuck are the Federico twat talking a like you.

I use Firefox and have no problems. Everything seems ok this end.

I'm with you CJ. Aguero would be the best option all round, but his wage demands are massive and that will scare the club off.

Which football news website would you consider the most reliable ? We all know the poor ones so I don't really want to go naming those. It just struck me as I was reading the Rumour Mill page on the official website, that most of the sources were imo unreliable. I am a firm believer that if it is not made official by the club itself, then it isn't true. But there must be some sources that are more accurate than others.

Exactly mate. I will be pissed off if that's the only reason we don't get him. If Ballack is worth £125,000, then Tevez has got to be worth more.

If he doesn't want to upset the ManUre fans by joining the thieving scouse bastards, He is not exactly going to be messy tissue material for them by joining the camel jockeys at Citeh either. So there is only one place to come and that's us, and by joining us he only stands to upset a few Wet Spam muppets.

I sort of agree with you Alex, but the Ronaldo deal seems to have inflated prices again. For the time we could potentially get out of this fella, it doesn't seem like that bad a deal.

We need to get this done. It would certainly be a great signing.

He was at one point interested in taking him to Milan, so I wouldn't dismiss this story out of of hand. Although I don't really see a need for him at the club.

Says it all really.

An instant ban for anyone posting sick photo's like that methinks. Made me feel sick guys. :huh:

Existing squad + Aguero, Tevez and Turnbull. That would make me happy.

Great to have a Blues Brother on board. Welcome and enjoy your stay.

Hey guy's, I closed my eye's for one second and saw Tevez scoring the winning goal in The ECL final against..... Utd.

We have for sometime been running a warning system on the board, which until now has had very little use. But after repeated friendly warnings about misconduct, some people are still having childish arguments for the sake of arguing. This will now be met by any of the staff issuing an official warning, which could end up in a ban. Banter is fine and to be encouraged, but flaming is childish and stupid and very off putting for existing members and potential new members. If you do need to argue with somebody, do so using the boards private messaging system please.

Magnificent player BL, but certainly not the best ever.

Well I'm not bothered when we play them really, its never easy against them (apart from away last season) in the words of the song Fuck em all!!

Done. As ever your log in name remains unchanged.

Fantastic post BL. I agreed with most things, but I still have big reservations about Ballacks overall contribution i'm afraid.

Shame, Riccy is a Chelsea legend, and if he goes then I wish him good luck. Its not nice to read that article after he has been so magnificent for us, but if thats how he feels, then its best he does go now.
