Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
This made me lol this morning (from the transfer deadline day BBC online coverage):
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has raised the possibility of striker Dimitar Berbatov returning to Tottenham. It was thought the Bulgarian was destined for Fulham, but Ferguson said: "He has not gone yet. I do not know anything about it. There's not been any contact from him. He could be anywhere. I really mean that. I wouldn't be surprised if he was at Tottenham. There are rumours going around. I do not think it is settled at Fulham." I wonder if Fergie has checked the Old Trafford bench? If you've seen a man fitting Berbatov's description (tall, slow moving) please contact us via twitter or text. |

Machini is greater than Fergie, heck even Ruud Gullit and Franco Zola did a lot more |

Its a problem for them as they have limited tallent to choose from in the transfer market. No owner is going to risk loosing the EPL TV money for the sake of an all English team, or even an all British one. Thats modern footy sadly. |

Again ....I'll like to see Fergie to repeat that elsewhere, and until he does that, he isn't great. People like Wenger have gone on to prove they can do the same elsewhere A cracker by Messi here by the way http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soc...1658--sow.html |

Why would he move? There is no pressure on him to move on, he has nothing to prove, his record in Europe and the Premiership is second to none and there are few clubs with as much money to spend and as much history and prestige in the game. The amazing thing to be honest is how many times he has successfully dismantled and remade that team, which if anything is a much harder job than leaving and starting with a clean slate elsewhere. Your argument is staggeringly poor. Its like saying Busby was not a legend, or Shankly. |

His achievement at an unfancied Aberdeen is at least as impressive as Mourino taking perennial Portuguese league winners Porto to a league and European double. Anyway, you are entitled to your deluded opinion, Im done arguing. |

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
Poor Liverpool missing out on Dempsey at the 11th hour AND getting to keep Henderson :thumbdown:
I'm also surprised to see NUFC getting through the day, so far, intact. Any news on the street to say otherwise? |

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
It seems like we've survived intact. Excellent. Although Ryan Taylor is crocked for months.
We appear to have Bordeaux, Brugge and some team from Madeira in the Europa league. I know nothing about any of them. We're doomed. |
