Is there an echo in here?

You said that Arsenal need a striker or two. The inference that they need to bring in new strikers.

Sir Alex Ferguson is walking along the touchline, when a woman sticks out her arm and asks him to sign it. Fergie goes 'yeah sure', signs her arm and carries on.
Then a woman lifts up her shirt, gets her breasts out and asks 'can you sign my breasts please?'. Again, Fergie says 'yeah sure', signs away and moves on.
Then a woman jumps out in front of him, strips naked, spreads her legs and asks 'can you sign it please?'
Fergie replies 'sorry love, you've got the wrong guy. It's Benitez who signs the c*#ts'.

nice to see wenger blames the ref for yet another loss

If BGS had decided to get back into position instead of standing around sulking like the massive girl he is then I doubt Porto would have been able to take the quick free kick in the first place.

TBH if he was getting back in position then he probably wouldn't have been able to do a thing anyway. To stop the goal he'd have needed to pretty much stand over the ball so the attacker couldn't play the ball to a team mate. He'd have been booked for that, but obviously that would have been better than giving away the goal.

It is an issue that needs to be sorted out IMO. If given a choice attackers would always choose for the referee to allow them to take a quick free kick, but if they do that then the opposition will just have to plant someone on the ball to stop someone from doing that. Then we'll end up with bookings galore, arguments because attackers are getting angry over being stopped from taking quick free kicks, arguments because some attackers are deliberately playing the ball with a defender there just to get him booked and all matter of shamozzles.

Very nice Porto.

Shut up Voyeur!

After Vidic announced that he wants to stay at Manchester United, another one of our defenders is rumoured to be on the move.

Yes, that's right, Barcelona are now linked with John O'Shea.

GUFFAW

The state of Wigan's pitch was much criticised yesterday. Expect the issue of dual use stadiums to come up again over the next couple of months, especially if one of the top clubs gets a poor result there.

like the way rugby league gets the blame cause wigan and bolton are both poor

Surprised he actually saw it tbh

i like the way RL gets blamed when only one match has been played on it (same with the KC the other week). Yet the pitches are worn down in the centre circle and the goalmouths

got better eyes then he does sence

Saw it so well that he could say that Campbell passed it accidentally.

That really annoyed me yesterday when I heard them having a go at RL when Wigan's pitch has been bobbins for weeks now (and its actually 2 games at the Pie Dome now to be fair)...then I realised it was the complete and utter clowns on that Sky Sports Football thing moaning so it didn't bother me too much as they don't tend to have many brain cells between them on there.

TBF maybe the pitch is such a mess because it is used for 12 months. I'd like to see stadiums used by only one club (except the opposition, of course). I think it's scandalous that fans are paying high prices to watch matches on pitches that are in worse condition than those we played on at school - even after the joyriders had performed donuts when it was muddy.

A classic Anfield Eurpean night tonight?

Be interesting to see what crowd they get.

Portsmouth: [url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=743474&sec=england&cc=5739Let us sell players outside the transfer window, please[/url

Sounds like a non-starter to me. Sets a strange precedent for starters and even if allowed, it's merely papering over some of those really wide cracks in the short-term. It doesn't go anywhere near addressing the main issues that the club have.
Still, if they don't ask they certainly won't be allowed to.

Absolutely ridiculous and fuels my dislike of them even more...I for one am hoping they go bust, all the money they've had and they still havent been able to manage brings about absolutely zero sympathy from me. Any club that gets into the PL and then fritters it away through over-spending/over-reaching deserve nothing at all IMO...cue plenty of digs about Nited's debt and the likes no doubt! There's plenty of clubs who've got into the PL then gone down and not had major financial problems so it can't be too tricky can it???

Jeez we made that look harder than it should have been
