> 2 Match Ban for Atila's friend



Well fcuk me gently there's a shock, will it act as a deterent? Watch Rooney next time he plays, that should give you an idea. :)-D

Well, transfer day was a bit of a damp squid - I think it tells us more about the wobbly finances and levels of debt of the big boys than anything else - those combined with a depreciation in the ? and Gordon's hike in the tax rate sees the end of The Premiership as the main choice for the world's best for a while at least....

The very best few players have always tended for Real Madrid or Barcelona or previously Italy - if you think of players that have moved to a new club (when in their prime) it's always been to foriegn clubs.


Although world class players have come to the Premiership the very elite won't even get off the boat.

The Eduardo thing is a total fiasco. Even if he did deliberately cheat - and really there can be no certainty this is the case - UEFA have confirmed that it would only have been a booking if the referee had spotted it. How then can a two match ban be justified? I hope Arsenal appeal.

So what happened with Henry, Ronaldo, etc, are they not elite???

Well, yes but they became those in The Premiership they merely had potential when signed - I see Mathew's point, maybe Torres is an exception, but the real non-english stars of the last 10 years eg Fat Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, Chevenko at peak etc haven't been in the Premiership..even someone like Viera moved out once established as World Class

"if you think of players that have moved to a new club (when in their prime) it's always been to foriegn clubs."


It's an interesting one - most players don't really establish themselves until they have played in one of the top european leagues, and very few move from Spanish or Italian clubs to English clubs once they are at the top. The top Brazilians always go to Spain or Italy, I guess for cultural reasons (and because of the weather).

This may sound controversial but I also think some players don't have the balls to come to the prem as they see it as overly physical. And in Messi and Kaka's case, it was probably that and the cultural thing, which I can't blame them for. After all, using Madrid as example against say London or Manchester is non starter, Madrid wins hands down.

In Viera's case I think after we had seen the best of him, so he was not a great loss when he finally wnet after 3 years of will he won't he. Although we've never had a central midfielder of his physical presence since.

Yes Bergkamp was seen a huge coup for Rioch especially as he was at the height of his powers when he signed for us. Who knows, maybe when the wheel of fortune turns full circle or we start to implement better coaching techniques for youngsters at grass roots levels, things may change. Please god.

Keane said a similar thing about where players lived/worked when he was at Sunderland. Mentioned that players and their wives as a rule didn't want to live in the North East, so they were less likely to attract those sorts.

    • 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
