Dirty Leeds have suffered from the 15 pts woefully - they'll be back next year - unless they go bankrupt again of course!

WOOF! btw!

[Annasfield]

Just thought you all might like to know which club is number one in Europe. :)-D

Man who? >:D<

[citizenED]

...in a table that has Newcastle as the 19th best in Europe when they are not much better than 19th in the premiership! But then, look at chelsea down at no 24.;-)

[Keef]

What are al those figures meant to mean? :-S

I see Milwall are in the top 100 at 89!

[Annasfield]

Who cares - we're top. ;-)

Ended up with a last minute ticket to the England game tonight. 55 chuffin' squid!

Not the best of games, but was nice to view a potential Barry, Bentley & Gerrard (and who knows Crouchie) link up for next season.

Hargreaves played well tonight, but I'm not sure what game Lamps and A Cole were playing.

What game can I watch next week......

[Keef]

Ha, and there was you saying Barry wasn't good enough! I think he and Gerrard would be a great combo!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Looks like a good list to me. Your point Keef?

Errr yes, perhaps if we do sign him I'll edit that post. Not sure if I'd want to lose Alonso for him though. :-S

Just in case Chavski fans thought we'd forgotten.

Looks like Ronaldo is on his way. At least AtG will be please. ;-)

If true - which I have my doubts, he won't be the only one. ::o

[Sandperson]

Well, he's given the interview according to The Grauniad:

Here.

Anna, I wouldn't expect anything less.....

[Ladygooner]

Sweet - he obviously wants to be near his spanish girlfriend

Also sweet that Adebayor looks to be going too....

[Annasfield]

Hmmm - yes. I see what you saying and I realise that it's not a dirty red top rag reporting the story, however I won't be smug about it until it happens.

Don't forget that Torres was going to Chelsea only the week before last. The only difference here is that Ronaldo hasn't denied it.

[atila the gooner]

I have no real feelings on the subject. Speaking as a fan, I've always stated that no player is bigger than the club. We and Man U, have had many big players come and go in the past and we still challenge for the biggest honours every season. Players come and go, the Club is the be and end all in my book. If a player has set his sights elsewhere, let him go, before he destabilises the dressing room.

[Sandperson]

Tbh AtG I agree and have just been saying so to some fellow United fans. We found him and helped him to become a great player, we've done it before and we'll do it again.

[Annasfield]

I agree too, however what does make me laugh is how outraged United are by Real Madrid's behaviour. They do exactly the same thing every single season.

Those in glass houses...?..

(I do miss this topic; keep finding it on page two and three. Can't believe it has been ousted by arse and appendage size)

[Keef]

At least you'd make a massive profit on him!

I'm more interested to see how many Chelsea fans will be at Inter next year!

[Annasfield]

Fans or players Keef? Or both... >:D

[atila the gooner]

It is kind of ironic that the club & fans stuck by Ronaldo when he was castigated for getting Rooney sent off during the last world cup, and also that Van Nistleroy, who famously fell out with Ferguson over Ronaldo, after he claimed Ferguson was overly protective of Ronaldo, is now saying that the best club in the world wants the best players in the world. That is a kind of perverse twist to this. Players unfortunately these days have little or no loyalty to any club, no matter what the club has done for them. Look at Cashley Hole as the perfect example of extreme treachery.

[????]

Yup ATG, agree - it's why many old school fans increasingly despair of the hole bleedin' circus...i may join Mockney at Dulwich Hamlet next year

[SimonM]

Surely the days of Real Madrid as the best club in the world are well and truly over? I think if Ronaldo moves there his career will stagnate, relatively speaking. But clearly this story is not yet over...
