Well, Dudu is coming back soon.

So, it's official - Tottenham sign Pavlyuchenko..

But he won't be replacing Adebayor, just partnering him. He truly isn't good enough for me.

Yep, bit of a silly signing really. Spurs need one thing - DM. They've bought all this attacking flair and done nothing. So they buy another striker..

Anyways, Joey Barton comes on to loud booing from the Arsenal fans, not sure why they of all teams were booing him. Then he goes in hard on Samir Nasri, which ends up being a superb tackle.

FT 3-0. MotM for me, Jonas Gutierrez, superb signing by Newcastle. Strong, quick, good passer, very good for for this league.

What the fu*k Kurt, Arsenal wins 3-0 playing absolutely wonderful football, and you keep moaning about Adebayor not being good enough. I don't know why you don't just admit you hate Wenger and so you can't praise his team no matter what they do. Last season, Adebayor scored over 30 goals, and you complained about him after every single game. And even after he scored some great goals like the volley against Tottenham, you refused to credit him at all.
Now, after three games, you're complaining again.
It doesn't matter what Arsenal do, when they won against WBA they were poor, when they lost against Fulham they were miserable, when they crushed Twente McClaren was an idiot and today the are in total control for 90 minutes and score three goals, and all you do is single out players you don't like.

So glad we didn't buy this piece of *****. Can't believe Galliani was actually considering this guy, especially for his over inflated price tag.

btw, anybody know what's going on with the Robinho to Chelsea deal?

Won't praise your team? I have never said you don't play good football, not once, ever.
You beat West Brom and Newcastle, two teams a title contender should be beating. Then you lost to Fulham, who a title contender shouldn't lose to. In those 3 games, you scored 4 goals.. how many does Adebayor have?

30 goals last season? I know how many he scored, but his shots/goals % was terrible, just like today he missed so many easy chances. Why would I lie to criticise Arsenal? In case you didn't know, I can't stand United, but I have no problem admitting Ronaldo is the best player in the World right now. I also said that Denilson, Eboue and Adebayor (Maybe Gallas too) weren't good enough for you - does this not suggest I'm saying Arsenal deserves to have to players? Does this not sound like I'm giving your club praise? Does this also not suggest that I rate the other players on your team? I think so. How often do I criticise Fabregas? van Persie? Toure? Clichy? Even Almunia for f*ck sake.

Oh, as for the Adebayor goal you mentioned, here's my post from last season upon hearing about it:


To me that looks like I was saying it was quite a good goal, does it not? You be the judge.

Here's another post from me, about Arsenal:

I say things as I see them, why would I say it any other way?

@Han: It was meant to be 100% certain.. but then Real decided they didn't want him to leave. He's not been selected in the Madrid squad for their season opener though, which would mean he's on his way to England I would have thought.

Interesting.

Personally I want him to go over to Chelsea for the simple reason that I want to see what he could do in a league that is far more physical to the La Liga, Personally I don't think he'll survive a month, I don't think he would even make it in Serie A.

Personally I think Real should take that ridiculous sum Chelsea is offering and run as fast as they can before Chelsea change their mind

FT Chelsea 1-1 Spurs
-Belletti opened the scoring.
-Darren Bent equalised just before half time.
-Malouda isn't fit to clean Joe Coles boots, awful player.
-Spurs looked dead at the end of the game, they gave their all against a very poor Chelsea side and were lucky to get a point.
-Giovani Dos Santos..

What did he do?

Aston Villa 0-0 Liverpool FT

Happy with the result kurt?

At least better then the 1-2 defeat we've managed..

Nothing. I'm laughing at the fact that Spurs continue to play him.


Not really. We were by far the better side and should have won it comfortably. I still fail to see what it is people see in Mascherano, is it because he's been hyped up to no end as a great DM? Alonso is a very poor player, he's still living in his 2005 reputation. Liverpool will get nowhere with playing these 2, they need Gerrard back ASAP.

Martin Laursen continues to improve, he kept Torres in his back pocket until he had to go off, then once he went off they had no attacking thread. As shown by their 0 shots on target all game.

Suppose it's a decent result to not lose to one of the big 4, but on the day were we the better side and should have won it.

Aside from that frist game Chelsea haven't really been that good.... They need a good striker up there, Anelka is clearly not that.

And some Chelsea fans actually call Dos Santos the second coming of Maradona


Liverpool have been struggling to score goals in all their games so far, even in the CL qualifiers.

So so far in England if Man U win their next game the top 4 will all be level right?

If Man U win their game in hand. United, Chelsea and Liverpool will all be on 7 points, then a few on 6 and a few on 4.

And Arsenal?

On 6, they won 2 lost 1.

I forget that they lost one of their games

Thanks, han. They had a decent start last season, but squandered everything up right after they beat us in the two CL legs. I was doing some spying over at Arsenal forums, and they knew this would happen. Most of them wanted the club to choose the league (preserving their lead) over winning the next few matches of Champions League and getting out.

It'll be good to see how they manage to fare this year. For the sake of the club, the players, the fans and of course their French coach.

Well, Man City have new owners, a group called Abu Dhabi United. Which now makes them the richest cub in the World. The group as a whole have a much money as Bill Gates or something!

Worlds richest football teams:
1: Man City
2: QPR
3: Chelsea

Who would have thought that 12 months ago.

EDIT:
Real Madrid have reportedly offered £38m for Dimitar Berbatov. But amazingly, as well as Man City making an offer for Berbatov, they've also made offers for David Villa and Mario Gomes.. these guys are serious.

Great picture.

Man City apparently want Robinho now.. this is getting silly. Liverpools top 4 place is looking more and more under pressure now though, brilliant.

Hamma, hamma! Bring it on. And I thought you didn't like Manchester City much, Kurt?

I 'nothing' them. I disliked them for buying too many foreigners, but they've started to play some young English players like Micah Richards, Michael Johnson and Daniel Sturridge (Who I went to school with!). Better City than Liverpool or United!

Villa are reportedly in for Joey Barton and Emile Heskey! WHAT!?

Aha. I hope they finish fourth for the next ten years. That would make my day. In fact, I'd go as far to say that that would make my life!

His girl is amazing. I think I've posted it some days ago in the other thread.

It would be nice to see somebody else finish in the top 4. Though if Liverpool or United were the team to miss out, they could very well go the way of Leeds, they need the CL money to keep up their debts. But Villa were pretty much 'next in line' for the top 4. With CIty's money, no chance now.


I haven't seen her I don't think, post a pic in the hot girls thread for us will ya.

Believe me, it'd be great seeing Villa finish fourth. As long as it's not Liverpool. But if what I'm hearing is true, then like you said City's got a great chance if they can build a squad. Depending on the amount of money they pour in, it could rival any of the top three too. Depending.


Haaaa! Just what a healthy, young male of breeding age needs. Right Kurt?

Joey Bartons missus is the stuff! Incredible!

Strange goings on with Berbatov, after having a medical at Old Trafford he has now been spotted at Old Trafford - yet Spurs still say they haven't given him permission to do so! If that is the case then Manu could face a massive fine, points deduction or both. IMO Spurs have backtracked but don't want to look weak.

Very weird one indeed. Can't see the FA doing anything about it though.

Rumours that Owen has rejected a new contract at Newcastle and is tempted with a move to Spurs.

AS claim Man City got Robinho. 40M/euros.
And that R.Madrid will not make any move before mid-night.

Can be b/s.

On 'You're on Sky Sports' they have just reported that Man City have just had a €40m offer for Robinho accepted from madrid

Have some of that chelsea

Beat me to it!

Another rumour is Xabi Alonso to Arsenal, probably BS though! He has (supposedly) been spotted at the Emirates.

Dunno if you ever listen to talksport, I ross. There was some funny rumours on there earlier "Pele and Maradona spotted outside Man Citys stadium"

They've all been on here:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7590492.stm

Latest update on the Berbatov deal is that Frazer Campbell will be included in the deal as well.

Guillem Balague, Sky Sports Spanish guy, has just said that Madrid won't sell to Chelsea, so it looks like he's dead certain to go to City, as Robinho has agreed the move as well! Jesus christ!

Robinho to City, Chelsea #2, bet Dinho's wishing he went there now

Just showing Berbatov at Old Trafford with Alex Ferguson - seems like a done deal. Wonder if Spurs know about it?

LOL @ man citeh

What an amazing day it's been. Once City break the top 4, they could be a real threat.

"Feel a bit sorry for SWP. He's just moved from the old Chelsea to the new one. Be on the bench again next season." --BBC



It's true. Gutted for him.

seems like madrid has done ivanovic on chelsea will be glad if robinho moves to man city

Give them a season or 2 and with this cash they'll be as big as Chelsea so I don't think it really matters.

The cntos did it again. God, I hate this club so much.

Will sound like sour grapes.. but would you really find it enjoyable if your club spent like £100m every year on new World class players? It's like on FM when you change the editor to give your team tonnes of money, you just get bored of it and aren't interested, but if you earn it, it just feels better. It's always nice to win things, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy it if Villa just started spending £30m on a new player for every position, I would like us to earn it.

May sound like sour grapes, but that's really how I feel!

Joined United: 09 September 2006.. yeah, that can't be right. I find it how funny they've been so open about signing Berbatov, even though it's completely illegal.

madrid have made it oficial that they have sold robinho to man city

Official then, SSN, Real Madrid and City all saying Robinho is a Manchester City player, madness.

Good on him though, Madrid treated him like crap once they wanted Cristiano Ronaldo.
