Maybe Tottenham? Nothing's sure if you're owned investment company these days. I'd welcome Sheikh Ahmed with open arms tho .

Thanks all .

ugh no Nadal .. what's to stop Federer now? Odds makers put him at only 1.73 ... could be a boring Wimbledon .. Go Murray, make the Swiss sweat!

I know, I agree with you ... was just poking a little fun at a post StevO made in another thread.

also, we actually do have a young team (apart from Neville noone important over 31, right?) .. just because of the passage of time we will be a better team next season and the season after that .. I'm hoping for a signing, but even without one I'm looking forward to next season expecting great things (as in another top6 finish). .. It's just that a couple quality signing might propel us into that top4.

Tevez is one of the best in the world at what he does (?).. they don't need him to score, they have 10 others players to do that. (?) After all he does play for Argentina.

those are overkill .

Black Box Revelation - I Think I Like You ... I really like their music. .

lol who ever said that? Mascherano : yes .. what's so good about him? Doesn't have a decent long ball, -never- scores a goal, is short enough to rarely win a header .. all he does well is positional play and ball recuperation .. I can't believe you would put Mascherano in the 20-30m price bracket..

hmm I'm feeling quite confident that he does, but we probably won't find out seeing how benitez said he only would go after defour if he feared alonso might be on his way to Real Madrid.

I think he'd rather play CL with Liverpool than with Standard tbh . He would definitely start ahead of that douche Mascherano so he doesn't need to worry about playing time. Hope to God the rumor isn't true though.

Yeh the system is so flawed .. they should make world-groups instead of a given number of teams from each continent. Countries like USA and Australia have to play nothing but shite while good European teams don't get to qualify to the benefit of utter ridiculous football nations such as Trinidad&Tobago .. (yes I'm pissed that Belgium is missing 2 WC's in a row now ). Also, I'm OK with USA and Australia in the WC, they're good enough and they belong there.. but because they play almost nothing but crap (apart from the occasional Japan or Mexico) their FIFA ranking is completely out of whack .. sick of hearing Americans say they're good because FIFA ranks them 14th on the world list thanks to heroic victories over Belize... :suicide_anim: .

wow in those pictures that stadium looks awesome. especially impressed with how good the view is still from way up high.

And the price is set for Defour : apparently 15.5m euro ( £ 13m) will get him. Aston Villa reportedly had a £ 12m bid rejected. (couldn't find an English link sorry : http://www.standaard.be/Artikel/Detail.asp...ikelId=D62BGMV0 ). Might Moyes be interested at that price?

this is a more direct link : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...m-hotpants.html . I guess it's a joke, it's way over the top of normal behavior.

BBC site blocks any media for people not in the UK. However I think it's ridiculous that Egypt complained. If there is a rule preventing the officials from using video, then the rule is wrong, not the decision based on video . Wasn't the Zidane red card in the WC final also based on the 4th official watching TV? ... I didn't see France complaining.

"His deal at wealthy Bunyodkor is thought to be lucrative; Brazil veteran Rivaldo picks up £80,000 a week at the club." what else do you need to know?

I just read in an online newspaper that Howard Webb made a mistake awarding Brazil the last minute penalty or something? I didn't watch it, was there anything to it?

Welcome idd. Seems like a lot of people lurk for a while before deciding to join if you compare "first post" with "joined" dates .

Reports suggest it's gonna be Chelski.. Bad choice, would have preferred to see him in the more technical Primera Division.

To be fair those chances are non-existent.

Good clip, good song .. Crowded House - She Called Up. .

Well some (the Brits) also claim Platini is biased against the EPL and he said that the transfer fee was disgusting.

I wonder what odds the odds makers would put on that.. might be worth a wager .

I have been for a full season now . (well actually the Everton-bug bit me watching that 1-1 against ManU at Goodison, so almost a full season).
