I'm not entire sure that's fair Anna. We had people like Owen Hargreaves and Wayne Rooney down as long term targets. We waited for Hargreaves and his club to be ready (through his injury too). I'm also not sure it's not what Liverpool get up to either but it's just not as well publicised.


I too struggle to see how anyone can call Real Madrid the best club in the world. I'd even put Liverpool before them as they've had more success in recent years.

Players do not go from Liverpool to Manchester or the other way. You would never have signed Owen.:))


Every club does it, I just found it hilarious that they are getting so riled by it. The problem is they know he wants to leave. 40 goals in a season from a winger is a hell of a lot and without that, they may struggle.


That said, ?70 odd million, should buy a couple of half decent players. ?70 million ffs!!! Absolutely ridiculous, if his comments were true and he said that about my club I'd want him to leave. He's clearly not a team player.

I didn't mean sweet as in "good" I meant as in how nice he wants to be with his girlfriend. Unfortunately any player can leave but as supporters we unfortunately have no control over that

I think we'll be ok without him. As you say we can get a couple more players in for that money. As for getting riled, this is Fergie you're talking about, he loves a bit of rile...it's what gets him out of bed in the morning. :)-D


Not sure about the team player thing. Liverpool seem to have forgiven Gerrard after his head was turned by Chelsea.

Spurs look like they could have made a very good signing with this Dos Santos from Barca! Came through the youth ranks, and broke in to the first team. Only 19 and a Mexican international, plays on the wing or up front. Apparently well rated, but behind Messi in the pecking order... Could be a very good player for the Spurs...

I really think if Ronaldo does go to Real for ?75 million - or however absurd his price will turn out to be - then the pressure on him to perform will be so huge - and the Real crowd is notoriously impatient and fickle - that his failure to meet impossible expectations may wreck his career. Or he may get a long term injury in his 2nd or 3rd game with the same result.


Man Utd on the other hand will spend probably less than half of this money on Santa Cruz of Blackburn - aybe Bentley too - nd never look back... Real will still do less well than the PL clubs in the Champions League.

I sa this on the the BBC Sports website and had a little chuckle


Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o has ruled out a move to Spurs - and hinted that Inter Milan remain an option. "Tottenham, and I hope the English fans will forgive me, are a club in mid-table and I need more," said Eto'o. (Fox Sports, 1220)

      Milk delivery

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.

      Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days.

      I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
