yeh defo, it is the beeb after all.

yeh, i'd been wondering where our erstwhile leader was, hopefully he'll be back soon.

what happened to Chris Brunt? he looked quite good, and he was linked with us aswell.

mate, why would you want to swap an inform faddy who looks as though he is starting to show the promise he had when he came, for an ageing gravesen who was shit before, and still is shit now? what i mean is that gravesen is surely a step backwards not forwards, as a temp measure at the moment yes, but long term defo NO.

It's true though, my sisters 2 kids are at prime age for moulding into footie fans/players but their more interested in fighting over who's go it is on the xbox, the only football they'll play is pro evo, lets face it when you go to the match it's mostly adults there, kids just arn't interested in football anymore. I had a dreamcast aswell.....ah virtua tennis. still it was a piece of shit though. Anyone remember the Atari Lynx?

have a good 1 mate.

No chance!!

I asked my bro about this(he's a journo) and he says that the newspapers don't just make these stories up, otherwise they would be open to all sorts of trouble, he said alot of these things come from PR people representing the players and agents, mostly agents trying to get better deals, benefits for their clients/themselves. As for that thing with kissock and his hair, i know that story is a year old, but i'd have thought moyes would have more important things to be concerned about than players haircuts, some of so-called first team players can barely pass the ball in a straight line. typical DM if you ask me.

i find it odd that kissock is not involved with the first team tbh, if he's as good as they say then give him a go, like they did with vaughan and shrek, isn't he registered for the UEFA cup also? so why not, before we lose him TOO a team like man city and he ends up becoming the next giggs in a few years.

Mike, Alkmaar is a nice town thats north westish of Amsterdam, bout 30-40mins on the train it's easy to get there, defo reccomend it over the nasty tourist trap that is Amsterdam(I know, i lived there for 2 years)

Go for it mate, lbh the only way we will get rid of Bill is with a Doug Ellis style fans revolt, the Sultan of Brunei could offer Bill a billion pounds in cash for the club and Bill would still find a reason to say no. we are stuck with him as far as i can see.

Bill, i don't think VDM has worn the shirt often enough to be considered the worst player.

great post Bri, try e-mailing it to moyes he might learn somthing, i think you have sumed up the pre-match teamtalk there.

he's still probably the only england player who gets booed when he comes on/touches the ball, he's crap, poor touch, poor decision making, bad range of passing for a so-called defender/midfielder, god only knows how he has become captain, but like goldfish says, we are probably better with him in than him out, which is quite strange really. personally i'd rather see a utility player like him being on the bench to give us more options in the way of subs.

it's a decent group, but it won't be as easy as it looks though, Alkmaar and Nurnburg are good teams.

wtf is going on, 3-1 our defence is fuckin terrible compared to last season, oh 3-2 now thankyou shay!

yeh, i'd have thought we have other priorities than another goalkeeper.

theres some decent teams in there, we'll need everyone fit and playing alot better than last night if we are going to get anywhere.

we should always show the opposition respect no matter who they are just out of sportsmanship, however i don't think it was a case of them being shite the other week, it was more a case of we are clearly not as strong or as good as we think we are, a few injuries and it was back to hoofball against 9 men.

i'm very interested in tomorrows team lineup, we can't afford another game of hoofball so it will be interesting to see if Neville is at rightback or in midfield, if it's him and Jags again in the middle then god help us!!

yeh, lets see these pictures someone must have them?

if he can play like he did yesterday against some of the better teams then for that sort of price he's a must buy surely.

Expect a possable move by Arsene Wenger 4 Everton forward Andy Johnson as Arsene Wenger came close 2 signing him before and might move 4 him, could be a swap deal with Bentner moving the other way. Mcfadden to Rangers as he is not happy at being a bit part player although this has changed recently so depends on amount of games 2.5–3 million, Arteta to Man United £15 million. Man United will sign Andrew Johnson from Everton in January.

Baines in midfield? can you elaborate further on you reasoning behind this plz.

i see beattie is having a moan at moyes, about being fifth choice striker and being moved on when he wanted stay. what a poor deluded fool, he was fifth choice cause he never scored,played for himself and was just generally shite, his attitude clearly stinks! he was given more chances than most and failed every time. he's scored 7 in 7 for sheff utd, so he must be enjoying things more there, so he should just keep his gob shut and get on with it.
