0-0 draw, Lescott sent off <ok>

I wouldn't mind the CL dropouts like Benfica who could still be involved in the title race in their league and hence field a really weakened side. Beating them would certainly give us a real confidence boost like it did to Fulham

Yet he lost to Keegan in court? Of course he'll have to pay a huge chuck of his wages but if I were Mike I'd just give him the money to spend in January instead

Row A :bandit:

I'd say Woodgate Solano Milner

I think that playing 433 is taking a big risk. When we played it last season most of the first team were fit especially our defence and mentally we had nothing to lose by going all out attack to get the maximum number of wins from our last 8 matches... But at Everton, we were battered in the...

I dunno if it's true but I heard that he has a pay as you play clause in his contract ... the only problem is that it's us who have to pay around £50k (to Deportivo? to his agent?) whenever he plays for us <whistle>

Chelsea have just won the jackpot ( around €50M) yesterday night and Liverpool will definitely be strengthening their squad this summer so they'll be more competition for Top 5. Think that if we can't add quantity and quality to the squad we should send a B-team for our away trips and play...

Whoever comes in will just have to lower the expectations and talk about Top 6 instead of CL ... I think that FSG will ignore their fans and give the job to Martinez or Hughes...

Don't think that they would be dumb enough to buy a club in the PL when there's already 5 teams competing on the long term for just 4 CL places. They're more likely to buy in the Spanish or French league where there isn't a Big 4 ...

Good question. I'd say we have a weak second team but a decent squad overall. For example at the moment we can't afford to field a second string 11 against Championship sides whenever we're engaged in Cup competitions, whereas teams above us can. But you also can't deny that the likes of...

I'm not too sure myself how they calculate it exactly but I think that the club's history in European competitions won't weigh much in the balance. There are other factors like our league and domestic cup performances, league ranking etc coupled with the PL coefficient which accounts for most of...

Sorry to deceive you but Spurs had to play a qualifying round against Hearts to get in the group stages ...
