*Official* English Football Season 2010-11

If it fails we'll be the club who spent £8m on a homeless guy, and laughed to hell and back (and deserved, buying without seeing etc)

Rose will still maintain it was genius even if he never plays a senior game.

 

[sledger]

Unless he plays as well as Carlos Tevez, in which case he will want him out.

Pffft, "rubbished". It's The Guardian (formerly The Manchester Guardian), not The Sun.

Ferguson denied it, but then he would, wouldn't he?

Fergie could be telling the truth too. I mean, he could be complete crap, you can believe whoever you want to believe. Truth is, none of us will have the slightest idea how good he is until we see him play.

I've already said I have no idea about it and will have to judge in a couple years. Dong? Bad signing but worth the punt at the time.

For all I've said about the Gentleman's Agreement, I'm sure sometime in the future it'll be worked around somehow or changed to suit someone.

Mikel Arteta will never be called up by England | Mail Online


Disappointing he cant play for ENG. With Scholes not wanting to come back & Hargreaves forever down - the midfielder lacks so much.

Also obviously means ENG cant tempt Denilson to play for us either next year.


BBC Sport - Football - Everton's Joseph Yobo joins Fenerbahce on loan

Surprising this IMO. Always saw him as a fixture for Everton.

You mean Arsenal's Denilson? Surely England can find better players than him?

 

[GIMH]

Mail's blocked in work - what's the reason why Arteta can't play?

 

[Uppercut]

Fifa say you have to have been a resident in your new country at the time at which you played at youth level for your old country.

Hahahahaha, if that post is not in jest then it's one of the worst I've seen.

Didn't stop New Zealand from picking Rory Fallon

Anyway, should Joe Hart play on the weekend, Shrewsbuty Town stand to collect £500,000, because it would be his competitive international debut. How much difference would that money make to a club Shrewsbury's size?

For young mid-fielders only Wilshire & Rodwell (to a level) are better.

So if he could have qualified under residency rules next-year. I think he was worth tempting, since i have a sneaky feeling Brazil would have continued to overlook him, given the lack of first-team oppurtunity time he gets @ Arsenal.

Hahahahaha, if that post is not in jest then it's one of the worst I've seen.

SMFH.

Barcelona have become more hated after this summer certainly.
They have even acted badly than madrid who after tapping up atleast make decent bids.

News | Queiroz banned from football for six months
Apparently Ferdinand

Ferdinand? What's that got to do with him?

That ban for just abusing officials is ludicrous.

What a difference two weeks make – at least in football. A fortnight ago, Bebe’s exclusion from a reserves match was used by the media to question the Portuguese player’s ability. Since then, Bebe received his first call-up to the Portuguese U-21 National team silencing a few of those critics in the process.

Reports have now filtered out from Portugal that the young forward impressed during his first training session on Monday by scoring a hat-trick. Apparently, the third goal was an impressive bit of spontaneous skill which had Bebe’s team mates applauding the player’s imagination and ability.

With his back to goal and still sat on the ground after a challenge, Bebe received the ball, dinked the ball up with his right foot and then hooked it into the far post drawing applause from his team mates.

I've done that hundreds of times playing crab football at BB.

Quick, someone sign me for €9m.

Just posting to highlight any article can say anything really.

TBF to that article, it does highlight what others are missing, its not just about his skill as a footballer, he is adjusting to a completely new lifestyle... By which I dont just mean moving country, I mean moving from the bottom into quite frankly riches.
