You can't take them seriously and have to laugh at their latest set of calamitous circumstances... Giving SEASON TICKETS away free with mobile contracts and Kirkby. I even forgot that song they forever sing, their main song, is also about us and is even they play just prior the side running out at home games!!! Its been re-recorded by "Little" Billy Maher, smarmy blue turd on Merseyside, to inculde the "redshite" jibe. That said, they looked tidy, focused and hungry last night and whilst there's every chance they could divebomb within weeks, with an addition or two, we have to take this current team on face value. The Derbies are going to be huge this season, not just as an opportunity to dilute their feral bile but in terms of PL points and potentially, positioning against them too.

Fuck There's also a disgusting article in there in which Dave Meltzer is saying that Benoit killed Daniel by using the Crippler Crossface.

Marvellous

I read a piece with Pako recently in which he gave a passionate sermon on his and Rafa's belief in the physical and psychological benefits of rotation, especially throughout an English season in which you are demanded to compete in every competition... This season, as opposed to bowing to public pressure, we will see less of this and I think it sees Rafa and his team adapting thier style a little but certainly not to the extent that many of us feel will be necessary to win the League. Not that we won't be having a royal old go at it. I also think it fits in with his reticence to buy "big stars"; he clearly had an option to bid for a Mancini, Quaresma or Alves but bought two players in Babel and Benayoun; players who aren't overly motivated by cash, want to improve and develop, eschew the public eye and are therefore more receptive to the squad ethos.

By December, Andy Cole and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will be in that side, bobbing around 10th position and a Kirkby-fuelled riot brewing in the salty streets of Walton....................... and Conwy.

Was left out of the Real game as far as I knew; wasn't aware he was striking. Let's make use of the Glen Johnson Situation asap.

Watching The Shite tear them a new one (up to now at least) and their midfield looks as porous and weak as any will in the PL this season. Jermaine Jenas et al? Top 8 at best for mine.

I admire and respect Keane a lot; he was a great player in the truest sense and he is be a coach I think you would really pull your tripe out for... He managed alcoholism and depression during a time when it was de riguer for soceity to indulge and celebrate footballers for the wrong thing; that only seemed to repulse and embarrass him. I'm reticent to openly admit all this for the simple reason that if he continues at his current rate, I can't help thinking he'll be at United by 2010.

Cunt's not even played for the Barcodes yet, either. At least he treats them with less contempt as he did us, throughout his ongoing "glory" with The Ingerlund...:thumbup:

Excellent news; he's one of their key players and comfortably better than Fwank. Still a shithouse, mind.

A much as I want him (covers two key positions, PL/CL experienced, doesn't have to relocate and speaks Spanish), Lyon may be about to give WhiskeyNose an escape route... http://itn.co.uk/news/788e4482a5c9ab44eb5fe81cd3a01fde.html Shame, given that recently his stance has softened over the last week since Heinze hasn't folded under his bullying and intimidation. He must have finally cottoned on that the move is legally compliant and Heinze genuenily intends to come here Let's hope he chases Lyon and digs in.

Christ, he put some clunge away while he was here, that dude.

City fans will barely take notice, you'd presume... The shite they have endured the past 20 years, they're clearly ecstatic something positive is finally forming.

We can't always have it both ways... Who else enjoys the present freedom of access to the nightlife, commercial wares and scenery which the celtic shores have to offer...?
