Liverpool are not a team I hate as in their glory years they were a respected club playing good football. However since istanbul some of their fans are getting like the spud fans in thinking that they are back to the very top when all the evidence says otherwise. I even shouted for them in the istan...

Lehman Number 1 for me with fabianski as back up. People knock Jens but most of the time I like the fact that he is mental especially in a team that has too many wilting flowers as it is. I have never been convinced about almunia although given the quality of english keepers at the mo I can certainl...

Pav, you were going well with the comparisons until you mentioned the scousers who have yet to show that they are a quality forward line - christ even the sp*rts have a better forward line than them. I totally agree with you though regarding bedtner & eduardo being unproven in the premiership an...

I'm sorry galasso, I didnt realise that I am operating in a court of law when I say that tommy rosicky would play the behind the striker role better than hleb ! Where is my evidence ?? Didn't f*cking know that I needed any. Would it help if I added "in my opinon" to the statement ? Christ ...

Like Rebel said you listen to a lot of shite here in Ireland but to be fair I dish out far far more than I take. I love getting into a battle with manure fans who have never even been to manchester let alone old trafford and I do not hesitate in telling them that. Even though I live in a typical gaa...

There can be no denying hlebs improved performances in the last 3 games have been impressive but there also is no denying that they have all been friendlies. Even leaving out the stupid free kick he conceded against psv i thought he was pish poor that night. I kept screaming out at him to "get ...

:shock: I will be shocked if we buy him - its not that I think he is no good but le boss listed out his midfielders last week and stated that we have more then enough in that area which is something we all feel already. If we decided to dispense with gilberto in the holding role and went with an enf...

I am against playing 1 up front as I think it would leave van persie isolated at times and worryingly it could then lead to frustration and yellow cards. "The Van Man" needs someone up front with him to take some of the attention away from him otherwise he will be allowed no space at all. ...

8) There are positives to be taken out of todays game for sure but there are also some negatives. Hleb's form in the last 3 games has been very encouraging as has Diaby while Sagna seems to be settling in quite nicely. It may though be a concern that, like in so many games last season, we are on top...

Mr Grumpy

After watching the salzberg & psg games am I the only one concerned with the attitude of van persie in the games ? Some of his tackles reminded me of the old petulant van persie who was a loose cannon in the team before he wised up. These games are only pre-season games but he seemed to be serio...

:roll: I have stated before that I am against the idea of eboue playing in midfield and I cannot see it working. After watching his performances in the last 2 pre season games I have seen nothing that makes me even consider to change my mind. Eboue has been great as an attacking full back for the la...

Are you beginning to feel a bit isolated Belfast Boy cos on this topic it does seem that you are very much in the minority. I have to tip my hat to you because, like myself, if you believe in something you will fight to defend that opinion no matter if the whole world is against you. I know that one...

:shock: I cannot believe we are still talking about matty taylor. He is a good player in an average team and would not have the class or quality to step up and play for a club like The Arsenal imo. If we are serious about climbing our way back up to the summit of english football never mind europe t...

While I agree in principle with Belfast Boy that we all need to be positive, I also believe that it would help if the club was a bit more positive as well. Instead of just reacting to player departures(henry,ali etc) & future temporary departures(kolo & eboue) then can we just strengthen our...

I guess the lack of strength in depth arguement will raise again this weekend as we were already without theo,rosicky & ade. Am I having a mental block or am I right in saying that we only have 2 recognised strikers available for this weekend (rvp & Bedtner) ? I know this is only a mickey mo...
