Yes, that's the one, not Mel Sykes. Damn.

I think i remembe him saying something of the sort yea. But i'm taking it game by game with Scholes. Indeed there is no guarantee he will be playing this well for United come 2011/12 season or even if he will still be a player for United.

So it depends, like Capello said here: Fabio Capello leaves it up to Paul Scholes to decide his England future | Mail Online

I'm in no rush to get him back right right now TBF. Reckon we can qualify for Euro 20102 without him - unless Scholes himself feels he can take on the extra strain of playing for ENG again. But come the 2011/12 season & he still playing & playing as well as he is now, he must be in the EURO 2012 squad.

Ha i see. I have sort of lost interest in his progress after his WC performace for France TBH. Not living up to the "new zidane" tag well. But it will be interesting to see how he goes @ Lyon.

The entire City team was crap againts spurs - i'd put that down to early season nerves & rustiness. Sometimes you got to back your intuiton & go on a bit of raw talent instead of domestic form like in cricket (England picking Morgan for tests, without no real FC form).

Obviously having a teammate bust his jaw rather suggests issues on one side or other too. Carroll staying, is all I'll say.

TBF its hard to develop when your team has been relegated. He was certainly one of the Magpies best players in the championship last season.

Still one of our better young defenders i reckon. Would certainly rate him @ his best over the likes of Cahill, Jaigelka, Smalling, Shawcross

So great to see Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League where we belong!

Hopefully we can now attract a star striker like Torres to WHL with the promise of playing for a big club + Champions League action.

You won't be able to promise that for a great deal longer itbt.

Anyone see Zilina's goal against Spartak Moscow last night?

[Marcuss]

I want to see Inzaghi's

[duffer]

Squillaci in confirmed by Arsene. Hopefully that was just the most thorough medical ever after his injury problems last season. Good player who improves a couple of key areas for us. If he can stay fit.

[GIMH]

Ryan Taylor's goal was the one to watch, people

Arsenal?s Pre-Liverpool Training Session

Alright boys, that was pretty good pre-season. Let’s get ready for Liverpool. I really feel that this year could be our year. We can finally break our trophy drought.

Stop snickering, Cesc.

Because I’m telling you to.

I don’t care how funny it is, you’re making the boys lose belief in themselves.

Yes, as I was saying, this could be the year we win something.

Well yes Eboue, the Emirates Cup is a trophy too. But I was talking about more important trophies.

No, Vela. Not exactly the Carling Cup.

I know you won Danish Player of the Year, Nicklas. You message it to me every day. But I’m talking about the entire TEAM winning something.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t give a **** about the team.

Yes, your hair looks fantastic. Really slick. Could we get back to the point?

We can win trophies this season, but we have to change something in our play. Can someone tell me what?

No Andrey, not banning women drivers.

Not better synchronized dances either, Eboue.

Not by giving you a lifetime contract, Abou. I’ve told you already, that’s not happening.

That goes for you too, Denilson.

The answer is simple enough, boys. Letting in fewer goals and tightening our defence.

If it was so obvious Vermaelen, why didn’t you answer? Now will you people please stop interrupting me every ****ing time?

I-I didn’t mean to snap like that. It wasn’t directed at you personally, Vermaelen. Please put that knife away.

Will you STOP snickering, Cesc? You’ll make Rosicky laugh too. There, he’s pulled his hamstring. Happy?

OK Theo, a question for you. The full back is coming at you with the ball. What’ll you do?

Hmm well, running at him seems fair enough. Apply constant pressure, defend from the front. Good answer, Theo. Now, Nasri has the ball in the centre but you’re being tightly marked by the opposition full back. How will you shake him?

No, not by running at him, Theo. OK, leave it. What’s the one thing to remember when you’re guarding the post during a corner?

No Theo, the answer is NOT to run.

I understand that you like running. You have to control it sometimes.

No, I’m not being mean.

Please stop crying. You’ll set Jack off too.

No Eboue, he doesn’t need your dance to cheer up. Some chocolate milk will do.

OK, a question for you Nicklas. You have the ball at your feet, Robin is free but there’s only one defender between you and the goal. Will you pass the ball or look to beat your man?

How does it matter what boots the defender is wearing? Simply tell me whether you’ll pass or run at him?

Yes I know YOU will run at him, Theo. Fortunately this question’s for Nicklas.

No, Nicklas. I don’t think the defender will let you go past because you’re Danish Player of the Year.

Oh, will you shut the **** up, Cesc? Rosicky’s spinal cord just fell off, in case you hadn’t noticed.

I know he’s still better than Hleb, but could you please not make him laugh so much?

I will not call you Nicko no matter how cool it sounds, Nicklas.

OK, your turn Fabianski. You’ve just made a save. Will you punt the ball past the half line or pass it to a defender?

What do you mean; you have no idea what I’m talking about? A save, you’ve just made a save. Catching the ball in your hands, holding on to it. Ring any bells?

Never mind.

No you can’t kill him off, Vermaelen.

It doesn’t matter if he’s a pussy.

Cesc, you heartless bastard. Wipe that stupid grin off your face and call for some help, poor Rosicky seems to have had an epileptic stroke.

We’ll continue the training session sometime later boys.

Yes Eboue, you can hug everyone if you must.

Could have been said about anyone in Arsenal's squad.

[duffer]

Eboue's barely ever injured. Man of steel.
