Anything for those gobes to justify singing "who's that dying on the runway" while popping blow up balloons.

I'll hold my hand up and say I was in the pro-Barry camp last summer. I was disappointed with Alonso for a few seasons, I thought he struggled with the tempo and had two mediocre seasons on the bounce, but his form this year completely swayed me into the pro-Xabi camp, he's proved his worth this year and although I maintain Barry is a great player, Alonso is better.

As for Rafa reiterating Alonso is staying, I know he has, but I still believe if Real offered 30m+ Euro's, Alonso would be a Madrid player.

BB's not that daft, you've probably taken some bait that was mean't for me.

Cahill has been class this season, no wonder the bigger Clubs are showing interest.

unfortunately he did, but i am certain that the vast majority of fans (me included) were dead set against the move.

I think it's quite clear Billy is envious of The Trotters







We recently signed a former Barca youth coach to be one of the heads at our academy, he had a very impressive CV, can't quite remember his name, used to manage in Greece I think, Segura or something his name was.

Denilson, once the most expensive player in world football, former Betis, Bordeaux and Sao Paulo, Brazilian world cup winning midfielder has joined Vietnamese club Xi Mang Hai Phong Cement.




It's a bit of a step down, but great signing for the club.

i am definitely in the anti barry camp, xabi is a world class player who has arguably been one of our top 3 players this season. the only midfield player i would want in his place if he did go would be either xavi or iniestsa.

If Kaka has signed for Real, will any Madrid players be allowed to leave ?
Van der Vaart ? M. Diarra ?

Likewise with the $hite your lot come out with

The Fletch.

Quality

But accurate.

It has just hit the news that Hull have been charged with fielding an unregistered player at the end of January ‘09.
Apparently when they signed Kamil Zayatte from Young Boys for £2.5M on 23 January this year, there had been some irregularities with the transfer and he was not formerly registered when Hull drew 2-2 with West Brom. West Brom have been awarded 3 points for that game instead of 1 but it has made no difference to them, they are still relegated.

However Hull have been stripped of their point, which puts them on the same points as Newcastle but with a poorer goal difference.
Newcastle have complained immediately and if our claim is upheld, Hull will be relegated retrospectively and the Toon will stay up!

Carlsberg don’t do e-mails for delusional Geordies but if they did this would probably be the best e-mail in the world!

That was just garbage spouted by Megson. I could tell because his lips were moving.

It's opinion mate. Mine is just as valid as yours. Deal with it.

You wish Mark, for all of his endeavour, he'll never have the class or quality of Alonso. I like Fletch, he's good and has had a great season, but he'll never be in Xabi's class

Two hopes.

1 is bob.

€65m, 5 year deal for Kaka.
Wages expected to be around £150+k a week like at Milan.

You support a championship side, smalltime fans aren't allowed opinions

Not at the transfer.

But the wedge.

True. Fletcher is a class above Alonso.
