>>Come on you Eagles!<<

Yes! Big up your local side! And love him or hate him, Colin cannot fail to add to the entertainment value of a somewhat jaded Premier League...:))

[Annasfield]

Boo hiss!

On a separate note - I hate the summer :(. Why couldn't we have qualified for the Euro's.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Can I just say, what a relief it is to have a soccer free summer.

Bring on the cricket, more civilised and the spectators can be trusted to spend the day getting pissed and still be civil.

Marvellous.

[mockney piers]

Fair point Simon, though I meant the wholesale and often substandard imports of the modern era, rather than the occasional classy signing.

Ahahahahaha!!! Wait until you see the ITV schdules for next month!

Boo!!

Why did you have to come in here and swear? SOCCER?! (6)

I am most disappointed Mr P :(

[Michael Palaeologus]

No you are not!! I have a proud personal tradition of pouring scorn on the so-called beautiful game, even if I am known to sneak down to the Agborough Ground to watch Kiddie Harriers play a game of kick and rush.

Also, being a Wolves fan means that archane discussions on Premier league issues are and always will be irrelevant.

Ratty's cup final ticket just dropped onto the doormat chez ratty!

Shant on! ratty's going to wembley, his niece has gone all trembly!

[Keef]

Anna what do you think of Liverpool going for Barry?

If his and Stevie G's partnerships for England in some recent games are anything to go by, I think it could be a briliant buy!

[Ted Max]

Stevie has Jav and Xav to hold his hand already - a third player to do his job for him and he really could run around "inspirationally" all game long.

[Annasfield]

Hmmm, not sure to be honest Keef. Barry is a great player and it would be great to have another Englishman in the squad. That said, if we want to challenge for the Premiership next season, we'll have to buy big and I'm therefore uncertain if Barry is the man for the job.

Ted Max - re you're comments about Alonso, I'll be quite surprised if he's still at Anfield next season. Mascher was a great buy and allows Stevie to play as a second striker as he holds the midfield. I love watching him play, he's just so committed and plays with his heart on his sleeve.

I couldn't let this one pass....I was listening to Radio 5 the other day and a journo who was pretty well connected with Arsenal was talking about this after an interesting discussion at the club AGM. According to him Arsenal have offered Wenger pots of cash to spend on transfers, far more than people would imagine, and it's a continuing and increasing annoyance to the board that he refuses to use the money. Apparently it has become almost a point of principal for Wenger to NOT spend money. So, limited money is a bit of a myth (excuse for poor performance) methinks. :-$

Well I couldn't let your bullshit pass. Man Ure have to spend to achieve where as we don't, and never have even when we went 49 games unbeaten. We leave that shit to Man Ure and Chavski.Same old Manu Ure fans full of MANURE.

[ratty]

49 games unbeaten because of a Pires dive! Don't forget the cheating bit!! :D

I personally think it would be a great partnership of Barry & Mascher in the middle, with Stevie G playing behind Torres! As you say Barry is a great player, and he hasn't exactly been in the best team. Man U bought Carrick, and I was a bit sceptical (no offence to Spurs), but he has become a big player for a very good team!

I'd rather support them than support a side full of Arsenal rejects, supported by mugs like the arsehole who rings a poxy bell for 90 minutes.

Do me a favour and F**K off, some mug called sandperson kicked this off, direct your comments to him. Why is it you are so f**king blind when it comes to saps like him kicking these things off. Check your f**king facts first, it might be a first on this forum.

Ha, ha 'achieve'. Maybe you should spend some money, that way you might win more than three premiership titles in 15 years.

[Jah Lush]

You take the bait everytime don't you. Could have been anyone but you have blame it on someone else. You can't contain your hatred of anyone who isn't Arsenal. It's always you. You could have fight in an empty room. Same old myopic Atila.

Of course I expect your next post to be full of the usual venom and threats and insults and I'm not even gone bother to stoop to your level deign them with a reply unless by some miracle you undergo a personality change and you start to act rationally and behave yourself on this Forum. I live in hope but somehow I really doubt it.
