Thank Christ for Emre. I thought he was superb all things considered last night. His touch was good, his range of passing was excellent (being able to play a ball for his team mate to run on to is a wonderfull gift that none of our players have had for years) and he has a cracking shot. He may make the season worth watching!

Has the pie eater ever reached 20 goals in a season in England?

Exactly what Dan said. I'd prefer Souness turned out to be our best ever manager leading us to a league and cup double thrashing the relegation bound makems twice on the way. (Note: This isn't me defending Souness but wanting what's best for the club which this surely would be)

First positive signs for a while!

Am I the only one who thinks Viduka is a good player? I agree I would pick Anlka over him any day and I don't want us to sign him given his injury proneness and questionable desire (and the fact that I do like the occasional pasty from Greggs and would be worried about them running out). But I think he does have plenty of ability.

fooking brilliant to see you lot saying what you want unlike before ..... ooopssss 4016[/snapback] You've lost me

I think your being very naive to blame the problems we have on Souness. The fat twat in charge is to blame for pretty much everything. He wanted rid of Robert and Bellamy and he brought Souness in specifically to do this. Now Souness has identified players he wants to bring in (good players too judging by who we have signed and bid for) but now the pie eater isn't allowing him to sign them. I am not standing up for Souness because I like him or because I think he was the right appointment because I don't (it sickened me to see him appointed). But if there is a cancer at our club it is the tubby fucker at the top and not those who work for him!

Sheppard is going to totally destroy our season yet again. We make a good start to our transfers with Parker and Emre but without strenghthening up front we are going to be a laughing stock this season. I was very hopefull of a good season this term with the expectation of these two players but now I can see us ending up with players like Dickov, not because that is who Souness has identified as a player to take us forward but because that fat prick of a chairman is going to leave us in such a state that with so little time that is all we will be able to get. I am thoroughly pissed off now
