Charlie Adam?

No, no, hear me out. He can't injure our players if he plays for us and we get him to train in Levy's swimming pool, like Ledley did. If we tire of him, Levy can release the sharks.

He'd also make Big Kev look slimmer. It's an all round winner!

Are you trying to become less popular?
 
Whiskey was mine, too. Bells. I still hate the stuff.

However, like Spurf, in my adulthood, I discovered the pleasures of pure malts.
 
Citizen Kane said:
That's one way of looking at it. Another way is:

His departure was hardly noticed due to the emergence of Huddlestone and Jenas as seriously talented midfielders, his sale funded the purchases of Berbatov and Zokora, two players who arguably improved us. We finished 5th with Carrick, and finished 5th again without Carrick. I would say that the appallingly mishandled decision a year after Carrick's departure to replace BMJ with a certain clown called Juande was what set us back a few seasons.

You could look at it that way or you could simply admit that you are very wrong <laugh>

We desperately missed Carrick imo.
In his final season we were fighting for 4th all season.
The following year we were 12th or 13th until February...it was a great end of season that got us 5th but we were never in the running for top 4.
We only bought Zakora to replace Carrick and imho we were weaker without Carrick and with zakora... as much as I liked zakora he was not a patch on Carrick.
Berbatov was needed regardless of Carrick as mido was being pushed out the door.
It's true that we made a lot on Carrick but in my opinion him forcing his way out seriously affected the team.

Can't disagree really Ramos debacle...I am still embarrassed that my club treated Jol so poorly.
 
My drink to not go near is dark rum. Had the worst hangover of my life and a few stills in my memory of a very poor pirate impression. Shudder.

A more recent one is Ameretto. Foolishly had a couple of them after a big night out and all I could taste for the next day was Ameretto. Yuk.

According to Sky Sports Leyton Orient have signed Harry Cornick on loan from Bournemouth.

Do you reckon Andy Hessenthaler told him - "We've been watching a few players but 'It had to be you'."

Sorry. A bit pissed.

Clearly we needed such an old head in the Chelsea game and what followed, who though is another question. They will hopefully have all benefited from the experience of last season and Lamella's appearance in today's game suggested that he, for one, had. He is still young himself but he had an immediate calming effect when he came on and looked the senior player. I can see the benefit of the old head as long as it's the right old head, not sure about Carrick the only one that I can think of is Pirlo, but does he speak English? Another might be Defoe.

Defoe? For his 1 season in the CL experience?
