Luque: Wait till I'm fit At this club? You must be joking son.

This is definitley further along the line than the Rooney 'deal' ever got. Thanks Craig, you have confirmed exactly what I was thinking. Press bias / Liverpool-friendly BBC Sport looking down their noses at us. I'd love us to sign him just to spite the thieves and their celebrity hangers-on.

Why is it Souness' fault? He takes advice from so called expert medical staff on their condition. The physios tell him the players in question pass a fitness test. He puts them in the team. If they then break down in 20 minutes surely Souness has been fed duff information? The medical staff at this club are shit. Not up to modern-day professional sport with highly paid, highly tuned athletes. I'd sack them all. Club doctors, medical staff, physios, fitness coaches, masseurs. Clear them all out and bring in top quality people with up to date methods who are up to the task. It'll cost a bit more but its the only way you'll cure the problem of muscle injuries that has blighted this club for the last few years.

21915[/snapback] I wonder what they are basing that presumption on? In the line above they clearly state that we are willing to pay more than double what Liverpool are prepared to offer. Mixed feelings now I know he has already spoken to Liverpool. Disappointed that they got to him first but encouraged that he still came and spoke to us afterwards. Their deal can't have been that fantastic or he can't be confident they can put a deal together with Madrid otherwise surely he would have given us a polite thanks but no thanks.

He's normally got something else in his hand when he's infront of the TV I reckon.

Nice slacks Lard Lad!

Was there any reason behind the attack or was he just monged out again?

They must be so proud! Whilst the nation is backign the england team and rejoicing in how great it is to watch, they are concerned with having a sad banner with fuck the mags on (at a cricket match FFS!) and showing it to one of Englands many heroes. They really are an embrassement to footy fans sometimes! 21686[/snapback] It would have been funnier if Harmi pulled off his whites to reveal a SMB t-shirt underneath a la Lee Clark.

Do you fancy a wager HTT? Say five whole english pounds?

Thats not how I remember it. Rangers were desperate to hang onto him. Whilst we may have overpaid, most of us were keen to get him here. He's no Jonny Woodgate but I like him and I admire him holding his hands up and admitting he had a 'mare and cost us a (possible) point. This is why I hate the tabloids.

Short-term didn't someone mention Earnshaw? Possible ones that could become big stars given the opportunity Ashton and Nugent?

According to SSN they have left the talks for now Owen in one car, followed by Shearer, then Souness & Saunders then FS & his son. Somewhere in 'deepest Northumberland'. Pictures later on this evening.

Punter has cracked. Blaming defeat on substitute fielders and umpiring decisions. Stone the flamin crows, stop crying mate. Dry your eyes you great gallah!

If anyone would like to thank Cristiano personally for his theatrics yesterday PM me and I'll give you his mobile number.

D'OH!

Tense? Nervous? Headache? Try Cyanide and do us all a favour.

If moths love light so much, why don't they come out during the day instead of at night-time?

Isn't that whats know as a mid-life crisis. Men get to an age where they start to get fat and bald and need to prove (to themselves as much as anyone else) that they are still virile. They either have an affair or buy an open-top sports car. Its pretty shallow but its in our genetic programming.

I didn't mean to sound nit-picky, just one of the peculiarities of the english language. The plural of hippopotamus is hippopotami too. And focus becomes foci but I think you'd be a bit of a pedant to refer to a couple of Ford Focus' as Ford Foci. Can't think of anymore that end in 'i'.

Is Kuyt the starting centre forward in the Dutch national team Roland? Are you saying a good world cup could make one of the european superpowers interested in him?

Like father like son obviously. You should be rightly proud, although at three he might well have been thinking "lunch!"

All out for 218

I must admit, I do like Brett Lee. He plays the game with a smile on his face.

Thats an interesting comparison. We obviously need to get someone else in before wednesday, but at any price?

Another wicket down. This is giving me a semi!
