Saint Garrett

Probably not far off. Would like to see Isgrove given a start though, maybe Seager on the bench?

Would be interested to see how many pens he's scored last few seasons and who he's scored against.

Yeah but our CM is better than Utd's....see the OP

I think generally Chelsea carry him in games. I don't see him as a "behind the striker" midfielder, he's not the same as Ramirez, as he's not skilful enough, and not defensive enough to play on the "two". Lets not forget an awful lot of those goals are penalties as well. He wouldn't have anywhere near as impressive goal scoring record from midfield if you took them away.

Fair enough...agree to disagree!

Don't think this one is dead just yet.

So do you think Lampard as he is now at 34 or whatever he is, is still world class and better than anyone we have?

Personally think that's more a problem with England than him being anything special though. I think he's been comparable to Gerrard in the past, but Gerrard has and always will be better than him. I think he's got a lot of goals against poor teams playing for Chelsea in 3/4/5-0 wins. Fair play to him, he's had a decent career, but I just don't think he's that great anymore.

Good in recent years, old now, don't think he offers enough. Was barely in the game when we played them.

Don't get the Lampard obsession.

Yeah, think JWP is a quality young player. So calm on the ball it's ridiculous.

Lampard is just an average player these days. Used to be decent but not anymore.

I think Carrick is a decent player, but would rather have Morgan anyday.

Morgan > Carrick Cork > Cleverley Wanyama > Anderson I await sarcy comments...

I've also got a copy of this downloaded off BBC Iplayer.

Absolutely delighted for him. A great guy, a top player, and if anyone deserves it it's him. Might get myself a ticket for the game.

A team away I've not been to, someone random like Newport/Cheltenham, or someone at home, or someone local. Went to Barnsley in the NPC.

Gaston did partially come for the money - but he also mentioned that we wanted to build a team around him and he wanted to be a key part in a team. I don't believe that we offered him something that Spurs/Liverpool couldn't afford.

Boring. Not going to go. Oh well - atleast it's winnable.

Absolutely ridisuloud to have a round of international friendlies a few days before the start of the season. Why not have it this midweek rather than next? Madness.

Norwich a little higher, Newcastle a bit lower and don't think they're far away.

Crazy isn't it. Football has gone mad.

Would like someone which I can get to after work. So ideally London based, or Reading/Bournemouth. Maybe Bristol City as never been there...are they still in it?

To be fair, Turkish(who is very sarcastic and does get a bit wearing at time) and Alpine(who is the most negative man ever) don't bother me as much as Glasgow, BS and Dalek. I can deal with people either just having opinions and putting their point across in a genuine way even if I don't agree, but people who literally just come on here to sit and wind people up is just sad. The constant sh!te that BS in particular posts is just painful.

a 15 year old born in 1988?
