Optimistic Nut

My tip is Craig Gordon.

Can't help but think we've missed a trick not signing Carew. Can see him scoring for Villa against us in our next match without a doubt.

Now why didn't I put money on that.

We'll see how far Murray has really progressed in this set fitness-wise. This time last year Murray would lose this set easily. Let's see how he does now.

I've always liked Silvestre actually. Whenever I've seen him play for Man U he tends to do a decent enough job.

Deciding set. Rafa will win this about 6-1 I reckon.

Just stuck £20 on Murray winning Sports Personality of the Year at 3/1. Unless Button wins the Formula One Championship, can't really see how it will be anybody else, unless England somehow win the Rugby World Cup.

Great comeback. Losing 5 games in a row, then going a break down, to comeback and break Nadal twice. Great play.

Great point. Not one pundit has said, "well it happened against Newcastle on Wednesday so they deserve their bit of luck" or whatever.

Good post.

Definitely the real deal, even if he loses today. Nadal can't deal with him.

Could have had Lauren £1.5m, Distin £2-3m, a good left-back £5m for that price, and still had Bramble as half-decent cover.

Special mention to the lad with the Scotland flag wearing a Newcastle top in the crowd.

Am I the only one who got my hopes up here thinking this was going to be a thread about Gervais landing one on Johnny Vegas?

On BBC 2 now, one of the best sets of tennis I've ever seen there. Both players excellent. Murray won the first set 7-6.

Still think he's going to be another Bramble. Never saw anything from him last season that made me think we should definitely sign him. Would much sooner pay £3m or whatever for Distin and sign a couple of full-backs.

He's fucking shit. Agreed. Michael Ricketts II.

How's that like? If they sell him for £4m, Arsenal get £1m, they'll get £3m. If they sell him for £6m, Arsenal get £1.5m, they'll get £4.5m.

Well perhaps as major shareholders, the Hall's can actually do something and deflect a bit of the blame from Shepherd.

What exactly does Hall do now? He's the majority shareholder yet brings f*ck all to the table.

He's had his little Indian summer, a bit like Souness from January to March in 2005, but he'll soon be found wanting.

No doubt shown before on here but still class.

It's Tottenham though! Robinson should have been given a red-card automatically just for being a fat bastard.

Italian football in general is f*cking sh*t. You've got the big 3 of Inter, Milan (ok, poors season this year but they'll be back) & Juventus (once they're back), the rest of them are poor...much worse than the Premiership. The fact Rangers beat Livorno easily and our reserves beat Palermo is a good indication.

That'll be O'Connor back to Britain then. Probably someone like Watford will get him.
