Well Freddie Roach is picking a Haye victory and he's rarely wrong. However, I see Valuev as just too big. How on earth does Haye get close? And for a big man Valuev does have fast hands and a good jab although not the power his size suggests. If we're comparing Holyfield with Haye there's one thing Holyfield has that Haye doesn't and that's a fantastic chin. If he can show that same resilience then he may have a chance but it's asking a lot to duck, dive, hit and not be hit and avoid being smothered by a monster of a man for 12 rounds and get a result in Germany. I just can't see Haye winning this one but I'd be delighted if he did. The heavyweight division could do with smaller guys showing some skill instead of ponderous brutes but this is one hell of a challenge. My prediction - Valuev KO in round 9.

You really need to move on, it's not only tiresome but also insensitive and inappropriate. Everyone knows your views and you're welcome to them - this isn't the right thread to repeat them though.

That's really bad news, Kevin can't be that old which makes it worse. All the best to Kevin and his family. He was a good player for us and a solid professional. I'd definitely go to a benefit match or be willing to contribute to a fund. I remember just after he retired that he was joining a B&Q management course so he wasn't one of the "never have to work again" generation of footballers.

Now as far as I'm concerned the first thing they can do for me is chuck all their caps, all their medals and all the their pots and pans in the bin because they've not won any of them fairly. they've won 'em all by bloody cheating.

I blame McENEMY, Lowe and Matt Le Tiss for this shocking thread. Oh and can we have Hoddle back please?

If it's OK to call this labour party socialist then is it OK to call the Tories facists?

Yep....the South is the true labour stronghold.....that's why they fail to ever win seats in the rural areas? One of the more obviously blatantly wrong posts on this thread. To be honest exchanging labour for tory at the moment won't make much difference except for the fact that labour probably started out with good intentions.

Just me then but thanks for asking everyone. That's the beauty of the internet.

Is anyone else really annoyed at not just the advert but the fact that everyone says simples all the time? It's not even a proper word and is getting close to "wassup" irritancy levels. Also why is the meercat probably Russian and almost certainly east european? It doesn't make sense.

Simeon Jackson, David Connelly, Sam Vokes? All would be good. Personally though I'd have have another Bristol Rovers player....let's face it they'll be happy as they win more games when they sell their best players to us and we'll be happy because they tend to have good players. This time round I'd like to quadruple the players wages though - just because we can......

He had a box so always did pay for his ticket...

Sorry mate, it's going to be a work do.... Ah but I plan to get drunk on their champagne, rage against the machine and eventually get thrown out for being too working class.....I'll wave to the proles as they eject me (probably after Lambert's third goal).

What's it like? Bloke at work has won 4 tickets for the game tomorrow so I'm joining the prawn sandwich brigade for one game only. Think we're in the Terry Paine suite. To be honest corporate hospitality has never really appealed but I thought it'd be good to try it for once (and it's free)....for the record I would have been going anyway though.

I'm happy enough with that. Looks like it's got a bit of fight in it and Mills should be able to give a bit of width. Given the injuries it's probably the team I'd have gone with.

I thought it ironic that you spend most of your time slagging off players and then tell everyone to shut up and enjoy the ride. Did you not understand the contradiction in your post and your posting history?

Well you must know the answer - ask a question yourself. Get down there and do it, or email it in. It's not hard is it? Granted it's easier to have a pop at the ones who did but I'm sure with your intelectual (sic) ability you'd be able to manage that wouldn't you?

I think you may be putting your own spin on things here. He never said he was keen to see McLaggon play - he said he hadn't seen him (and to be honest sounded like he'd barely heard of him). He gave no indication of the players he wants to loan out either, just that he wants to get some out. Personally I'd agree that some of the questions were not the ones I would have asked but they were obviously important to the people who asked them - it's a little rich calling them interlectually (sic) challenged when you can't spell intellectually though isn't it?

And you'd agreed to shut up if we won...yawn indeed! What are you moaning about now? Nappy soiled?

I guess this thread is here to give the people who'd normally moan about not winning something to talk about? I didn't go today but I think he's a god - seeing as how the OP started this thread without seeing him either I'd say my opinion is equally as valid....

Of course I can see the significance. I'm suprised given your pessimistic posts that you can though....surely you can find something to moan about? Saturdays just wouldn't be the same....

Not if you're alpine.......anything less than a 10-0 win is a disgrace. NO EXCUSES (special mention to delldays there)

Is it stating the bleeding obvious to say we need a third, and not to concede?

It's true - Pardew has explicitly said to the players that the absolute maximum number of goals we should score in any game is one. Yawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
