Great post Spongebob. Even if you dont fully rate him you humanize players. (sounds pansy, granted) I personally think he has the tools to succeed. Players like Jagielka didnt hit the big time until well after 24. People dont realise this. I thought Milner was good as well (not 20mil good..but a very good PL)

Never. Still is some sort of a god in the eyes of the Cologne supporters as far as I know. He wouldn't get away with such poor performamces on a regular basis over here. Still believe he's one of the brightest German talents in recent years, just one of those who didn't make the final step at a top club for whatever reason. Has got the ability of a Oezil/Muller imho If he has the ability then a move (to a different country) might be a good option.

True. Dirk Kuyt and Kezman were goal machines in that league.

28 my arse? closer to 38 !

Ajax have Suarez and that's it, the second string Real side SHOULD still be too strong and it's a decent price imo. See you've backed Roma, shocking price 5/6, they're not doing great in Serie A, lost 3-1 at home to Basle recently, and Bayern are like a wounded animal at the minute, they have more quality than Roma, I don't know if they'll win but 3/1 is a nice price for them to win in Rome. I watched a couple of Ajax games on ESPN this season and have been impressed with Suarez's striker partner Mounir El Hamdaou. Looks like a classy finisher as well.

Lukas Podolski I guess Isegrim could tell us more but I believe he has struggled the past couple of seasons. Worth a gamble imo. He is fairly young (25) and wouldn't completely break the bank.

He is only 24 so has plenty of time to develop.

Or he is just stupid!

great thread.

I've been a bit "meh" about this whole series but last nights finale was amazing ! I wish I had a voice like Robocops.

I agree with Contrary Tree on this one. I've entered. Im coming back that weekend for my Birthday as well.

Arsenal used to be one of the more reasonably priced London clubs. Certainly at Highbury anyway.

Great chance for Saylor and Sol to step up and cement a place. Im not overly worried about this as long as they are both fully fit.

Where did you get that deal? Oh and if you get a pint in Vegas it'll be about £5 in Vegas. Not that you should count expenditure in Vegas...

Its just the typical myopic knee-jerk reactions of the modern day football fan. If we lose we are the worst team in the world, if we win we are the best. 10th is fantastic progress. We just have to keep it up.

i think he is covered by the top scorer part. Tevez is the top scorer in the league.

Add "We have Andy Carroll" to that list. Cue a long term injury now I've said that.

Too late!! I hadn't even thought about him at CB.

If Mancini refrains from playing 3 DMs then they might well win the league this year.

Apparently he has offered his resignation - which was rejected. Thats from twitter. Edit: Henry Winter said the rumour has been denied. Still, all is not well at Chelski at the moment.

Watched first one earlier. Looks really good. I keep expecting Andrew Lincoln to break into English though.

Gavin Harris wishes he had Andy Carroll's playboy skills.

Williams and Collo need a rest. Im not sure thats entirely true. Its only 1 bad game. Colo will get an enforced rest anyway.

Yes
