*Official* English Football Season 2007-08

Aye, always good to see eddie around.

Gutted at the loss to Bolton. United were boring in their play. Carrick looks like he doesn't really care anymore - or at least, that's how I saw it. I wouldn't mind trading him away for Anelka. We have enough players capable of playing central midfield as it is, with Hargreaves, Scholes, Anderson and Fletcher let alone the likes of Gibson coming through and O'Shea/Giggs/Park all having played there well enough beforehand.

To be honest, anyone who wears a blue shirt with "OKI" on the front'll do for me.

Actually, on a completely random note, I saw an OKI Printing Solutions sign somewhere in Amsterdam a few weeks back, having never seen any evidence of them existing in Britain. Made me laugh.

Anelka at OT? Dont make me laugh, what the hell do we want some stuck up prima donna who really doesnt care past his next signing on fee for? Dont rate him that highly as a player tbh, even less so because he's a moaning sh*tbag. He'd last 5 minutes under Fergies no-nonsense before wanting out (oh god, you mean he might actually have to sit on the bench sometimes, not for mr Anelka that)

Rather a bitch on the bench than a flop on the field. SAF'd sort him. :p

I'd rather a lot of other players ahead of Anelka, though. It was just an example for the obvious reason of us playing Bolton. Although most of the other players I hear about are just as bad personality-wise. Berbatov not fond of being on the bench either, I hear.

McLeish resigns from Scotland and looks to head to Birmingham. Gutted, absolutely gutted. Pretty annoyed, too. No pride or honour in where you play these days, though, I suppose. It's all about the money. :(

Concurred 100%.

Hahaha, very good free-kick from Ronnie, totally flummoxed the keeper there.

EDIT: Worth pointing out that the decision for the freekick was ridiculous, though tbf we should have had a peno earlier so it all evens out.

Why does Ronaldo save those free kicks for when they dont count? We've already qualified, so a draw wouldnt be too detrimental.... Likewise he scored a screamer last year, in the friendly v the rest of the world. Both one in a hundred shots (wouldnt say million, as theres been 2), but come the premiership, he's smacking them against the wall with gracefull aplomb every time.

Let Hargreaves take them imo

He should play at least 5 matches in a row first.

A draw would have meant we'd have had to go to Rome and get something to win the group.

Doubt Barney is going to be too happy that Harry Redknapp has been arrested. :laugh:
I'm not exactly happy, but I'm not remotely surprised. The man honestly could not be any more crooked if he tried.

At least if he was England manager there'd be no possible way he could be involved in any dodgy transfer dealings dragging the nation's name through the mud. Maybe.

haha got to say, this pretty much rules him out of getting the england job, the FA would be fools to come within a mile of this guy, much as I like him and rate him as a manager, he's dead bent, make no mistake about it.
