I think a lot of it has to do with Peter Kenyon as didn't United do some serious tapping up when he was in charge at Old Trafford, e.g. Jaap Stam. I think he'd also lined up Arjen Robben for United - but once he joined Chelsea he used his knowledge of Robben's personal demands to make sure he instead came to Stamford Bridge.
I should think it'll be more than one, if we weren't careful, that UEFA will try and get us on. There's that Pogba lad from Le Harve which the club got all arsey about for starters. I would think that a club of our size would be pretty stupid to do anything that wasn't by the book (these days anyway) but you never know.

Biggest hypocrite of the century award goes to Wayne Rooney as he has denied ever diving to win a penalty and claimed he is too honest to try to deceive a referee.


Has he conveniently forgotten his shameful and despicable swan dive with triple summersault with half pike when going odwn under the non existent challenge from Sol Campbell in 2004. Mind you didn't he also say once a blue always a blue.


The sort of goings on which make Man Ure so despised by one and all.

Who cares, get's under your skin though eh? Perhaps this will teach people like you to think hard before you pass judgment on other teams and their players when your own people are as bad if not worse that those you pass comment on. I somehow doubt it though. Rooneys hypocrisy is breathtaking. Once a blue always a blue. B) I have discovered emoticons ( thanks sandcastle)

*yawn* I tell you what does get under my skin. Eduardo diving. What a cheat, eh? Good job UEFA have finally called him out.

I'm sure Chelsea will appeal and have their sentence possibly reduced to one transfer window and maybe a bigger fine. A similar thing happened to Roma a few seasons back over transfer of Philippe Mexes from Auxurre in 2004. Roma appealed and had their sentence reduced to one transfer window.

Chelsea have done this so many times though and obviously haven't learnt their lesson so it looks like curtains for Frank Arnesen who was the former Director of Football at Spurs before Chelsea illegally tapped him up on Roman Abromovich's yacht and paid Spurs ?5 million in compensation (hush money) for his services.

I'd like to see him play for England again, but I don't think he will. Not sure itf it's a personal thing with Cappello as I am sure he'd rather win the games than keep up a personal feud/dislike (whatever it is). I just don't think Cappello rates him.
MO doesn't merit an England recall on current form. His goal against Wigan was a classic Owen finish, so he's still got it, he just needs to do it on a consistant basis at the highest level. Hopefully if his goalscoring form and fitness does return, say by the New Year, it will be perfect timing for next years WC. Defoe is banging them in at the moment, which is nice to see after his personal problems, but form after Xmas will be more relevant as to who goes to SA. I don't think Capello has a problem with him, he strikes me as being too pragmatic to bear grudges.
My discontent with Owen from his latter days at Liverpool was that it was like playing with 10 men - and unless he was 100% match fit rarely a threat in the penalty box. I think that is the crux of the matter as to why he has been jettisoned by Capello. You do lose something by not having a footballer upfront. On the otherhand I think England should take him to the World Cup as someone to come off the bench as he still has the midas touch at international level in front of goal. I think when it comes down to it Owen will go to the World Cup as a fifth striker probably at expense of someone like Carrick.

    • 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
