How about 'I should have gone to Chelsea when I had the chance' Stevie Gerrard?

I'd go for John Terry as England captain, thug or not he has plenty of passion on the pitch and he's as brave as a lion. I have a sneaking suspicion he's go for Beckham though as it's tradional in Italy for the oldest players to be the captain.

Managed to miss all the football over the weekend as I got completely shit-faced for most of it although I did slip into the CPT to watch the Man Utd v Newcastle game. I thought Man Utd were well below-par and I was very impressed with two of the new signings Newcastle had made in Coloccini and Gutierrez.

I'd rather not talk about the Spurs result. I was rather hoping we'd get off to a better start than that. We're obviously still quite a few players short, especially up front.

Terry is passionate, but I think Ferdinand has a lot better brain for the game. Still don't see why Stevie G seems to have totally slipped out of the running, but it definitely seems to be between those 2. Can't see Beckham getting it, surely he will just be playing a bit part in the next couple of years...


I've been interested by The Adrian Mutu fine story. I have to say I'm on his side. He took a bit of coke (so bloody what), he got sacked and served his ban. Why the hell should he be paying Chelsea ?12m, it's insane!!! They also say the fine was based on what Chelsea had paid for him, but that is something completely beyond his control!


Chelsea should have just suspended his pay whilst he was banned, then put it in the past and kept hold of him!

I would like Gerrard to get it for it his own personal success, but for the sake of Liverpool I'd rather he didn't.


I see your little dig there Sandperson. My original post was supposed to demonstrate what excellent role models Terry and Ferdinand are to young kids. Putting in a transfer request, because your club are mucking you around with your contract isn't exactly on the same level now is it?

Never happened with Giggs or Scholes...or Ronaldo.


That had much more to do with good management and wage structure. In case you hadn't noticed most clubs are hideously mismanaged and full of venal personalities, from players through (especially) agents, to managers and the boards. I noticed the same sort of loyalty and fealty didn't apply to the rest of that generation, Butt, P Neville, Beckham et al. Business is business and football is just business these days.


I don't mind you having your wind-up but don't try and claim Man U has any moral high ground on these matters.

Piers, when did I claim the high ground, moral or otherwise? Players like Butt, Neville,P etc. are still adored at the club and were sold as surplus to requirements (and before you say it, yes Beckham as well) they didn't leave because they weren't being paid enough. As far as Ronaldo goes I don't think he's got the right to be metioned in the same breath as the other two, he will have to be very special this season to make up for his shenanigans.


I just object to certain Scousers who take every post as an opportunity to have a dig at United. Perhaps if they spent more time thinking about the failings of their own team and less time trying to put down the most successful team in Britain for the last 15 years they might have more chance of winning the league. Jealoulsy is a terrible thing.

Terry captain, and Ferdinand Vice Captain, so Stevie G even lost that. Agree that it may be better for Liverpool if he's not captain. I just like a midfield captain more than a defender. I know the defender can marshal from the back, but the midfielder can drive his team forward.


Don't think it really makes any odds in the big scheme of things though, and at least it might make someone like Terry play his heart out like it did for Beckham, who at times when he was captain, was the only one who looked bothered!

That was rather my point, they all wanted to finish their careers there, but were kicked out the moment it didn't suit the club, loyalty and fealty work both ways, and without reasonable expectation that it will hold, the glue is gone.


We can't have our cake and eat it, it's a ruthless market now. I badly miss the days where playing at a club meant something, but those days are gone, and players are pretty ugly souls these days, Ronaldo and slavery being a real nadir, recently at our club Anton Ferdinand rejecting 40K a week, fine fuck off to Sunderland you ungrateful, thick cunt!


Potts was our last true club player I guess, and I always loved and admired Le Tissier (admittedly a sliigggghtlty better player) but I doubt we'll see their like at our clubs again.

Have to say though, I thik sometimes you have to wish a player good luck even if it's them who want to move.


I can't believe any Arsenal fan for example, could have wished Henry any ill after he gave them his best years and wanted one last challenge / pay day before retiring. I feel bad that he hasn't really reached his best form since leaving.

"I just object to certain Scousers who take every post as an opportunity to have a dig at United"


Don't really see how my original post in this discussion was a dig at United. I was merely stating that I don't think Ferdinand or Terry deserve to be England captain through their off pitch antics. How is exactly is that a dig at Manchester United? I think that generally you're the one who has lowered the banter by calling people "bin dippers" etc.


If you don't like a bit of harmless ribbing from one of your rivals, then I suggest you talk about football on a United forum.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
