I don't think he stagnated as such in the last few years it's just that we generally sold one player for decent money every summer and did our business in late august, it then took him until january with a few additions (donovan loans 2x, jelavic, gibson) catalysing us. With the exception of...

this argument doesn't really make sense. He had to sell to buy almost constantly. we simply didn't have a budget that should see us regularly competing with the top four sides. pretty much nobody can bridge that financial gap. You can catch some good fortune and do it like we did with a side...

It didn't get a huge response and I'm a little busier now. I struggled to get it done then, so won't attempting another one any time soon. Anyone else can feel free to do it though if they want to.

RVP was the ultimate vanity signing from Ferguson. He desperately wanted to regain the title from his local rivals before he retired. If they didn't win the league last season there is little chance he would have retired. It worked and it got them one title but long term that may not work out...

Well counter-attacking is kind of all you can actually do, so it's a good job you're good at it.

Off to the emirates for the quarter final next weekend too. If I get there and it's Naismith up front with osman just off him again i'm going straight home.

no that was because there is a media conspiracy against them or people don't like the french or something.

thank christ we faded anfield. probably going to be going to this quarter final too.

not really got the heart for one now.

wow.

yeh that's the thing with Barkley. You watch him control a terrible pass from jagielka that should have went out for a throw-in, beat two players and lay it off and you think "christ this lad is incredible" next time he gets the ball he tries an impossible pass that ends up in the stands...

If you're talking about an AM with one striker and as a sort of number 10 then Barkley> both wilshere and chamberlain. if it's in a 4-3-3 type system where wide players have more of the attacking responsibility and the most attacking cm has to do more defensive/box-to-box stuff then...

What an incredibly creepy opening post.

the fa cup is brilliant. your opinion is so wrong that it's actually not even technically an opinion. the notion that only "small teams" should play in the fa cup is so ridiculous that I don't really understand it.

I think it can be petty comfortably assumed. the only words i've seen are "for the foreseeable future". means very little. You sort of have to look at what isn't being said due to all the double talk a lot of clubs use now. Phrases like caretaker manager are being phased out. If he had the job...

it's not like they have given him an 18 month Tim Sherwood contract. the laudrup situation had been brewing quietly a for a while. I'm a little surprised he has been sacked but not exactly shocked. Gary Monk is probably one of the best people to take short-term control. few people know the...

Sorry chaps, only just saw this. Came in to collate things as I have a few hours to kill. I shouldn't really try to do things as I'm a bit useless.

watching demichelis in centre mid in that match reminded me a bit of when i sprained my thumb in a sunday league match playing in goal and for the cup game against top of the league only 10 others turned up so I got roped in late in the day to start in centre mid. Out of his depth doesn't even...

Haven't seen him play lately but I was disappointed he left when he did. Seems likely to be solid signing for you.

I don't really care about the coverage, really. I don't really care what the commentators or summarisers say, i just like watching the match. Very few times have the commentators i like said something of much value. let alone the majority i dislike. I don't really need people to describe the...
