I'm fine with saying that Real will lose to Barca for the title. I agree with that. I just think it's a giant stretch to say that it's a bottom ten defence.

meh , I do dislike them alot . Probably a pinch of byistness in my comments .

Anyways

Fiorentina have had a 9million bid rejected for Upson
Sunderland have had a bid for Dawson accepted
Villa have had a bid for Collins accepted

And Newcastle are starting Ranger upfront by himself tonight :confused2:

 

[Archer]

Nolan is playing further up than I expected so it's not too bad to have Ranger by himself up there

0-0 at half time - Newcastle look tired

No man, I'm with you. I've never been impressed by Pepe. Ramos doesn't really try that hard to defend. Metzelder is an oaf. He's effective if he's surrounded by other talented players who can cover up his weaknesses, but Real doesn't have that. Not exactly a rock-solid defense.

The was more for my horrid spelling lol

Newcastle won 1-0 ..... Great goal from Guthrie . Ranger and Smith were the best two players on the day

Off to Cardiff next

2-0 to Barca over Sporting at half time

No Messi , Iniesta , Henry tonight

Very nice to see Newcastle win without two of their better performers this year.

3-0 Barca

Zlatan with his 1st

A friend told me Grosso signed for Juve for €2m. Glen Johnson was £18m lol

You're both missing davie's point here. What davie is saying is that as an Italian, Grosso should be worth twice that of an English player by default. Morons.

Well played....

Nice try Glaswegian person, (I realise Grosso plays left back and Johnson "plays" right back) but my point was I'd much rather pay €2m for a full back with talent than £18m for an absolute piece of shit.

So if you only get 1 or 2 seasons out of Grosso, at those prices you can get 9 different talented full backs for the same price as 1 retard.

 

[davie]

Grosso is old as fuck and not as good as Johnson.

Johnson has looked good this year, FWIW. I was skeptical with his signing, and I can't say he's 'worth' all that money, but he's done well for Liverpool thus far.

I thought Grosso passed away a couple years ago.

That's what happens when you go to play in France

 

[Archer]

You're joking right?

Somewhat . The standard of the french league is horrible though ....

I am sure if you go there and just play "solid" for a few years you could easily be forgotten about .

R.I.P That ex-Milan player with the stamina problems.
