No disrespect to the toon, but bigger clubs are after him than you. His first choice is Marseille and tbh that is where I think he will go.

Torn on this one to be honest. He's a great player but I don't think his attitude would go down well within our squad. Also think we'd be able to find a better player for a cheaper sum of money if we bought from abroad.

Any of you Liverpool fans heard anything regarding Joe Cole's fitness?

Also for the Wigan fan(s) on here, hearing a little rumour we've re-signed N'Zogbia. Never heard anything from this person before so not sure how accurate the info is.

Saw him in the reserves the other night against Manchester United and he looked to be blowing out of his @rse for most of the game.

FA confirm no points deduction for QPR.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Sat May 07, 2011 11:27 am  

Not sure why anyone thought QPR would be deducted points, West Ham weren't and Liverpool were still able to sign Mascherano before the ownership issues relating to him got sorted out. No doubt there will be a hefty fine coming QPR's way.

Of course lower league clubs like Hereford and Torquay are fair game to be deducted points for what amounted to simple administrative errors, knowingly breaching 3rd party ownership regulations is nothing compared to that.

Would John O'Shea not warrant a place on your bench? He never lets you down and Evans is shiite! Will Owen still be there next year

Fabio can cover both Full Back positions and Evans provides cover at Centre Half so there would be no need to put O'Shea on the bench and imo O'Shea is worse than Evans at Centre Half!!! Michael Owen I would seriously doubt being at Old Trafford next season, he is never fit or when he is fit he keeps breaking down. Owen is without doubt one of the best strikers in Football when he is fit but its a question of getting him fit which is the problem. If Owen was available for 95% of our matches and inform I would have no doubt offering him a new deal but as it stands it wouldnt make sense to offer him a contract.

Will be interesting to see how much the fine is.

It should be the same as West Ham's in my opinion because West Ham's helped keep them in the Premier League. QPR's has helped get them in to the Premier League.

As a Norwich fan I'm a little disappointed we've not been crowned Champions today but at least we get our crack at the big time next season.

Well done Everton. Get a bit physical and City don't like it. What goes around comes around though after that sembo victory. Here's hoping Pulis watches the video of that 2nd half in readiness for next week.

If Wigan beat West Ham next weekend The Appy Ammers are down. Come on Pie eaters, do the whole country a massive favour!!

Looks like a broken leg for Bale

Re: Football Chat Thread : Sat May 07, 2011 6:02 pm  

Apparently it's his ankle and it's not broken.

Surprised by that. Seemed to be somewhere between the shin and ankle and didn't look good at all. Good news though I'd expect his season to have probably ended today.

Crazy few minutes there with 2 penalties in quick succession!
