And we did bring in one player in Vermaelen so the sqaud isn't exactly the same -2. We'll also have Arshavin for a whole season, which should be nice...as long as he doesn't get injured, lol :D

And I know we lost to man utd but we didn't get our asses handed to us. In fact, we looked good.

Forgot we had Silvestre! I'm just wary about our injury record that is unbelievable really. I desperately want to be proved wrong, I guess I'm just pessimistic as we didn't splash some shekals like I was hoping we would. It just seems so obvious - another centre back and some cover in the middle. Probably could have done all that for £10m. The sort of 'he'll do a job' signing Suker was I guess.

The biggest problem for me is what happens to us when Song goes and plays in the ACN or, given that he's an Arsenal player, gets himself injured for a hefty chunk of the season. He's finally looking like the player that Wenger said he always was and he's easily the best midfielder at the club behind Cesc.

I really can't see Diaby playing more than four games on the bounce without getting crocked, and he's just not consistent enough to impose himself on games on a regular basis. It's a crying shame that someone of his skill and physical quality cannot dominate a midfield. The cup semi was embarrassing, Lampard had him over his fucking knee the whole game.

Denilson's a tidy little player but he's not the kind of guy who controls a midfield, smashing people in two and pinging around cross-field passes. We desperately need another of them.

This keeps me awake at night.

I just don't know what we are going to do.

Denilson still loses possesion in dangerous areas in spite of his sporadically impressive distribution, Diaby for all his talent still hasn't quite worked out when to hold on to the ball and when to pass and Ramsey is way too raw and seems to get pretty badly phased when the pressure is on.

Throw in a Vermaelen/Gallas injury and we will be leaking points like a fishnet full of needles.

What a pack of utter mugs, do they have no self awareness whatsoever? They've basically admitted that they've fucked this up. So one of our players gets a punishment 6 times as bad as it should be (3 yellows = 1 game ban in the CL) just to appease a bunch of whingeing dicks who got binned out of the competition regardless of Eduardo's trangression. And then who had a player who dived within a week of this happening and got the yellow he deserved.

And Eduardo gets a ban that is one game shorter than the fucker who broke his leg and left him out of the game for a year.

Nah, the whole reason the big clubs want it is because they're fed up of UEFA, Platini, and all their bullshit.

Let's face it, if the biggest teams in Europe left UEFA, and formed their own European Leage/Cup/FA/whatever, who would be able to stop them, and who wouldn't end up joining them?

FIFA could ban all players of those teams from the World Cup and UEFA ban them all from the European championships, hell even the threat of it would be enough to scare plenty of players.

Yeah, because competing in the most prestigious competition in football for their home country would be less important to a player than playing in some purely money based 'superleague', and naturally the fans of all of the clubs would be perfectly happy to enter this league and leave the rest of their country's teams behind for a bunch of long round trips to other places in Europe to support their team wouldn't they?

I was more talking from my point of view. I would be perfectly happy if they scrapped international football today.

Yeah because that's all that Brazil have ever done in world football.

Have a ;) Sean. In fact have two :)

did you READ the football365 link?

http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8...5535065,00.html

'Article 10 (1c), which was introduced by Uefa as a consequence of the furore that followed Rivaldo's feigning antics when playing for Brazil in the 2002 World Cup, exists to punish the worst offenders, but there is no appetite at Uefa to mount a wholesale campaign against diving through the retrospective use of video technology,' reports the (Times) newspaper.

...so? How does that change the fact it'd be a sad day for football if Brazil were never to play again?

I mean I can see the link, but it has no bearing whatsoever on what we were just discussing regarding the superleague except that its something to do with UEFA.

ok, sure.

They'll come a point when the big clubs walk, it's inevitable. For a start, starting their own UEFA equivalent will net them loads more money than the regime they're currently under. I'm sure we'd all like to think that players would reject the chance to play for more money than they could possibly imagine in their wildest fantasies so they could keep it real, but footballers are a shallow, greedy breed. Wherever the money is, that's where football is heading and you'd be a fool not to think so.

and what of Real Madrid and Barca? I don't think that it'd be much without them and the way they're owned isn't exactly going to make it an easy proposition to push through.

If the rest did it, they'd want to follow suit. Don't get upset because you support a shit team :lol:
