Elano & Petrov blow hot and cold, good some days, insignificant on others, so not consistent.....Johnson and SWP are good I'll give you that but how many of them would get in the top 6-8 teams midlfields ??? Maybe one player out of those four might !

Interesting quote from BBC site:

'Seems the lad's got his head screwed on - he knows he's going to be a big fish in a small pond, but he's aware the pond is growing'

I've had emails from friends in UK about the takeover, it seems the really bitter ones are the Chelsea fans. What short memories they have.

W10

So how many 'teams' have a better midfield?

Arsenal and United for sure, maybe Chelsea...Liverpool - I don't think so...

BangleMan

Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool, Tottenham, Portsmouth, to name but a few..

SWP might get into the midfields of Tottenham and Portsmouth, but thats it.

As for the others, dont think any of them would get into the midfields of the above mentioned teams......Johnson wouldnt even get into the West Ham midfield ahead of Parker & Noble and thats saying something !

haha you made my day there, Torres stands on his feet? On what planet? he is a little senioretta gets knocked down by air itself. I remember when he was playing against Inter Milan in the CL he got Materazzi sent off for a clear dive!! He didn't even touch the guy. Obviously you're watching a diffrent Torres from the one I see on the ground everytime he makes a contact.

BangleMan

Clearly a different one from the one I have seen ......am sure there is an irrational hatred of Liverpool influencing your opinion

Spugsy

yup he may be skinny but he always stays up to score, and does quite often.

BangleMan

If West Ham could buy one player in the world, would want it to be he him for sure....total class

BangleMan

Just thinking Spugsy, the West Ham v Newcastle game in a week or tow could the "BOOOOOOOO - OFF" of the century with the distinct possibility of both clubs playing the fixture managerless and without some notable favourites, sold off by panicing boards!!!

Bet we can boo louder than the Toon Army !

Spugsy

aye that could be the case, two managers ****ed over by the boards.

BangleMan

Looks like you'll win mate, as Curbishley has just resigned, so we'll have no-one to boo !!!!!!!!

Simao

Um, no, his diving does most of the work in influencing my opinion. You obviously haven't been watching him in la liga as well.
I don't hate Liverpool, I don't like it either but I do like some of their players like Gerrard and Carragher and their coach.

Sorry for late response Bangle - missed your earlier reply.

Yea fair enough, but they weren't all "big money" signings, and didn't stay 'at the top' for very long, I'd say? How much did Lee Chapman cost??

BangleMan

I dont know how much he cost, but sadly we ended up with Lee "The wife batterer" Chapman a few years later for a season.....utter crap !

Nice comment from Noel Gallagher.
