I'd go along with this, but isn't Gardos still getting over a hamstring? Millwall aren't the ideal side to test out a recent injury imho, and they will be right up for this one.

That was a swift edit Jamie. And prof is entitled to his opinion just as you are, no need for insults. fwiw, the professor seems to be focussing mainly on the positions replaced rather than the quality of the replacements. I don't see the slightest evidence as yet that Pelle is an equivalent replacement for Lambert, not to mention the rest (Forster and Tadic excepted.)

Fair point.

Who?

Time well spent.

Careful. You'll have Pap working on a conspiracy theory.

We were heavily linked with him, but supposedly balked at the price. As turks says, that was in the promotion season.

47, wtf? He looks more like a pensioner. What a tragic waste, he should be sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his talent by now, not getting some lower league side bloke to subsidise his cigs.

122 pages of "transfer rumours only". Interesting to remember why this thread got started by Jimmy D..... the original got moved because it had drifted off topic. Bring back the totty. Its got to be more interesting than the feeble point scoring and bickering we're getting at the moment.

To be honest, car dealers aren't generally regarded as holding the highest standards of probity and trustworthiness. Why would he advise you against taking out a warranty? Its your money paying for it, not his, and it could only save him grief. That said, those warranties are usually worth almost the paper they're printed on so I suppose he might have thought he was doing you a favour. Also, maybe he hasn't returned your calls because its school holiday time, but that would only be credible if it was a one-man dealership.

True story, I knew three blind guys who had been friends for decades, they met up in the pub one evening and decided they were all a bit bored with their wives. So they drunkenly decided to swap them. Not in the conventional suburban sense, but actually divorce them and move round to each other, so to speak. Bizarrely, when they (presumably uncomfortably) announced this decision to the womenfolk concerned, all the birds readily agreed and they all remarried. I know this to be true as I was with them in the pub while the decision was being made. I assumed they were just joking, but having attended all three weddings I can confirm they were deadly serious. The blokes all stayed in their original houses, and each new woman moved in with them.

All the more impressive given the rumours around at the time he wanted to move to chelski. We should have learned from that approach, we'd still have the players we've lost.

This.

..as witnessed recently by Billy "The Fish" Thompson. Neville gave a team talk which put Billy into a coma just before the England game, thats why we went out.

It's a pretty daft comment for neville to make, given that he has no more idea than the rest of us how the side will be set up, or much more idea about the abilities of the players we've signed. We could just as easily be awful or terrific, guess we'll have a better clue this time tomorrow.

You could equally be right. Sure I remember a story about Rooney being in hock to Owens betting firm for £200k, and the effect it might have in the England dressing room.

Would be a fantastic laugh if every other game was a draw.

Isn't Owen the bookie rather than the mug punter, I thought he relieved Rooney from a large sum in that fashion?

It does seem farcical. An 86th minute substitute, is that really worth overturning a champions league place?? How much difference could it have made to the result, were Celtic about to score 5 goals in the last 6 minutes? I'd have thought a fine for the club would have been appropriate.

Sadly true. It was while Artur was being subbed that mourinho was rushing around giving new instructions, reminded me very much of the england v Brazil world cup game when seaman f*cked his neck. The Brazilians were getting more animated with every minute he needed treatment, by the time the game restarted the forwards were salivating.

Mourinho changed the tactics when Artur busted his hand. When Gazza came on, it was get balls into the box and shoot on sight. Simple as that, imho.

Given the time of year, I'm guessing there's a sporting chance he's away on holiday.

Given that I've never heard of any of them, I will postpone my panic at this earth-shattering news.
