I am not sure exactly what deal has happened? The papers say that Walcott and Wenger have a verbal agreement to continue negotiating because Walcott wants to stay, but not that a year's extension has been signed or even offered. Difficult to actually decipher what's happened behind all the smoke an...

Favourite part has to be "It’s not very realistic to assume that striking these new deals will allow us to match what United are doing commercially. We have a great story to tell and sponsors are taking notice, but we have only recently begun investing behind our commercial vision, whereas they...

I would say that means he played a full season yeah. If you think that 31 league starts and 4 substitute appearances, and 7 CL starts isn't a full season then I'm not really sure where to go from here. By CL statistics I was more talking about how 8 of the last 16 finalists have been English and tha...

Only Baba could reel off a long list of players that we pay too much and then wonder why we didn't match Liverpool's offer of paying Sahin's £115k/w wages as well as a loan fee with no set fee to buy at the end. Sahin is the Bundesliga Player of the Year 2010/11. That means that in a league with pl...

I can understand VdV particularly if Dembele is coming in, and I guess Parker just doesn't fit in with his plans and is getting on and struggling more than ever with injuries, although I still reckon he could do a job for a good PL outfit. Lennon is a strange one for me though. I think he gets too m...

West Ham 1-1 Fulham
Tottenham 2-0 Norwich
West Brom 2-1 Everton
Man City 3-0 QPR
Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal
Newcastle 2-1 Aston Villa
Southampton 0-2 Man Utd

Liverpool have already used the same method to sign Dempsey twice this summer! If we were seriously interested then Newcastle are the one club more willing to sell their best players than we are, but they would demand too much money I reckon. In other news, word doing the round is that AVB has trans...

Did people writing off Giroud after 115 minutes of football in a new system in a new team also say how shit Henry was when he struggled in his first couple of games? Or cringe when Bergkamp had the temerity not to score in his first five league games? Alternatively did people immediately identify ho...

I can't really advocate selling a decent player if we don't replace him, however if we'll actually splash the cash then yes, go ahead and sell him. Him being dismayed at RvP leaving/the general situation is absolute bollocks. Walcott himself said he was leaving the negotiations completely to his rep...

Theo has been offered a contract, a good one, and he doesn't Want as he believes he is worth 100k a week! What has he ever done to deserve that? Players greed is the reason why we lose most of these players. Or should we just bend over and pay them all whatever they want? This is the crux of it. I ...

From what I understand, the next stage would have been arbitration where all the dirt would have been revealed. His team-mates were lining up to testify against him after being threatened with jail if they lied as Marion Jones was sentenced to. If he was guilty it makes sense for him to lie down now...

Yet another player failing to refute the theory that all African footballers are mercenaries.

I think he was an Arsenal fan. Darren Bent also claimed to be an Arsenal fan and a Highbury regular as a kid yet ran his mouth off loads after that 4-4. Defoe would be a useful signing. Massive confidence player which means he's utter cack half the time but when he's on form the guy will be a real ...
