Do you remember a few weeks ago, we were dscussing whether or not Ronaldo was/is a team player?


This interiew says it all:




"Guillem Balague: What feeling have you got after the defeat to Germany?



Cristiano Ronaldo: What feeling?



Guillem: The one after being knocked out



Ronaldo: We didn?t expect this. We wanted to continue in the tournament, but we didn?t do enough. We weren?t strong enough


Guillem: The little details were won by Germany. You didn?t seem concentrated enough



Ronaldo: I didn?t do anything wrong. I did what I had to do but the team made mistakes and that is why we lost"


What an outstanding sportsman. (td)

Old news and not happening Keef. Discredited by Spuds yesterday. Now the Pool have put in another ?17m bid for Barry they must have got the extra sponds somewhere........ reckon Crouch to Pompey will complete early next week when PFC go back to training.


Oooh and we signed Ben Saha on loan too - that should signal the end of Nugent.

It'll be undisclosed to save face. Rafa knows he can go for fook all in January. He was lined up on 31st Jan and Rafa pulled out last minute (after we had already offloaded Benjani)


My reckon is ?5-?7m but the fee will be undisclosed when the deal formally goes through!


Personally I'd wait til Jan and take him for fook all on a pre-contract and sign Gudjonseen for this season!!

Which all begs the question, why did we turn down ?9m for him???

I hadn't thought about that until you mentioned it, but yes they are alike aren't they. Same floppy hairstyle and a similar look in the eyes but Arshavin doesn't have the wand of a left foot like Bale has and where was Arshavin in the final against Spain? I barely remember him getting a touch of the ball. He all but disappeared from view.

Love the way news stories hype stuff. Headline saying Liverpool interested in Villa. Of course they are interested, I'm sure a lot of clubs are. Read on slightly and Rafa says he's on the list but it would be difficult. Big story there then! You expect it on back pages, but I'd rather read facts on the bbc website.

I'm finding the summer transfer speculation more and more frustrating. Finding anything based on reality is like that bit at the end of the Crystal Maze where they had to grab hold of gold pieces of paper and not the other kind - or something.


The same names, and posturing by clubs' spokesperson, and denials which turn out to be the opposite - blah blah blah. A pox on all their houses


You finished 2nd, 5th, just above relegation - whatever - next season roll your sleeves up and improve the lot of the club who's badge you have been kissing everytime you scored last year - that's all I ask

T'was from an interview on LFC tv last night. Definitely stuff going on behind the scenes there, but I'm not sure a Torres/Villa partnership would work. Euro 2008 was proof that these two (under the Spanish formation anyway) do not work together. We need someone who Rafa can play when Torres can't. I think G&T relationship worked perfectly well last season and I would question the need to change that by spending ?30+ million on another striker.


Give me David Silva please. (tu)

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
