On the Ball (new Football Focus)

[Annasfield]

Oh! It's the new Borat type film. It's a bit uncanny really isn't it? I find it quite disturbing.

[Keef]

A trip to the Hamlets would be cool.

Love this quote from Torres:

?The white shirt of Madrid is very famous and for a lot of players their goal is to one day play for Madrid. The white shirt is a huge privilege for players, but for me the biggest privilege in Europe is the red shirt of Liverpool."

[Annasfield]

Just love him. Please don't post anymore disturbing Borat pictures though.

This is the sort of qoute that brings a smile to my face, how many high profile players have made similar statements over the years only to move on shortly afterwards. Loyalty from players? Lets be honest/realistic, it doesn't exist.

I would be up for that - what date is it?

[matthew123]

Looks like Rooney has let himself go again during the summer break, when is the lad ever gonna learn ;-)

You can count me in on the Hamlet jolly-up. Excellent idea Mockney.

Well done Egypt last night for beating the current World Champions.

Bloody hell, Harry Redknapp is not going to be happy when he sees how Tom Huddlestone is keeping himself trim (on left of photo) - whilst on holiday with Aaron Lennon (on right). How on earth can a professional footballer develop a gut that big only 4 weeks since the season finished!

 

[????]

I see he's modelling Tottenham's away shorts for next season

[Jah Lush]

Huddlestone has always carried quite a bit of timber but it also might have something to do with his diet, spot the bag of McDonalds he's got in his right hand. And I think you'll find that's Dulwich Hamlet pink Quidsey, whilst Lennon is either playing paper, scissors stone or predicting the result in the next match against West Ham.

[Sandperson]

No more Carlos at OT. It's a shame but time to ring the changes with the (now) ?100M or so to spend. I'm sure the Scousers will make more of it than it deserves but he is easily replaceable and a bit more youth would be a great way to go.

We also need another Argie otherwise we'll have no reason to chant "Argentina"! :))

What about Heinze or Veron, they'd feel right at home at Traford Industrial Park.

[Sandperson]

Nah, We've had them in the side before AG, did you not notice? As I said new blood, maybe RvP or someone like that, a player who's been average at their current club and could be improved at ours.

[Atila Reincarnate]

Hang on, I thought you said adios to the forum! I'm glad you are still around SP it means I've got someone to wind up on a regular basis

[Sandperson]

I can't remember who you are? Remind me again? Spurs fan, right?

You don't wind me up AG, I feel sorry for you, that's your role in my life.

[matthew123]

Ah so Tevez is on his way out of Old Trafford ... a headless bull whose Country was sang lounder than that of George Best and Bobby Charlton, which tells you everything you need to know Atila

I think Man U have more to worry about than replacing Tevez such as getting a decent midfield

[Sandperson]

Haha, the old tag team back together. Been down the pub together have we boys? I shouldn't worry too much about us Matt. We've lost better and still kept on winning. You want to worry about Alonso and Mascherano.

[matthew123]

Ah the conspiracy thinker back into the old grove!

[Sandperson]

Ah, the same old nonsensical gibberish. I find myself, not for the first time, wondering what you are on about Matt. You have moments of such interesting lucidity and then you slip into the mire of jibes and childish name calling. I blame the Stella.

Awwwwww SP, I didn't know you cared. As for being a Spurs fan it could be worse, I could wake up one morning thinking I've woken after a bad dream only to find that I come from Coventry but support Man Ure.

[matthew123]

Liverpool co-owner George Gillett has agreed to sell his Ice Hockey team for a reported ?330m. This should put Liverpool in a stronger financial position when it comes to the next round of loan contracts.

[Mick Mac]

yes matt. I bet he sold his prize asset with the intention of spending it on liverpool players....

[Sandperson]

I'm from Rugby AG not Coventry. You're from some Greek island and support a London team, right?

[matthew123]

Haha, no his prized asset is Liverpool F.C. - a cash cow if run properly, and a big part of that is having a winning team which means player signatures..

Sandperson it seems to me that more often than not someone has a jibe about United and then you respond with a personal insult - this latest one about a Turkish Cypriot being from a Greek island seems designed to provoke another war of words. If someone has a go about Liverpool then I try and defend it, maybe if I have a weak argument (which is not often) then I will turn the tables on other person's club (i.e. banter). Come on Sandperson you are better than that keep it clean!
