Well I suppose you could also say that cutting and pasting entire articles breaks this site's T&C and perhaps the BBC wouldn't be to pleased either ;)

Sorry Sherer, but VDS may be No1 for a bit longer... ;)

ah crap :(

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

I think West Ham are looking pretty good for next season...... Scott Parker, and I reckon Adam Smith might end up there too.

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

Adam Smith, at least the books would balance :D ;)

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

yeah I read that a few days ago. Been away for a few days so not had a chance to mention it.

Not looking forward to that next season. I'm sure at his age he will only get worse but i'm prepared to give him a chance.

Was the the England game at Wembley last Friday. great day out but not th best England performance I have ever seen.

Gerrard and Lampard seemed to play better though with Gerrard staying deep and in the holding role and everytime he went forward he shouted and pointed at Frank to cover for him.

Good view of the pitch too and I was in the top tier

Sorry to be such a numpty, I seem to have missed something, why is Rooney not playing for England, is he injured?

Jim.:dunce:

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

I think he is suspended ;)

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

DOH, yes I remember now, thanks.

Newcastle are making waves in this post season. Mike Ashley is set to take over after buying out Freddy Shepherds stake (Mike Ashley now has 69.6% and needs 5.4% to delist the club from the LSE);
They have a new manager;
Signed Mark Viduka, and Joey Barton has agreed to join (although he shouldn't even be allowed to play in the top flight.)

Do you think they will improve from their current league position (14th)?

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

It depends on how you define "improve"...as someone who has a soft spot for Sunderland , I hope their position improves next year, by going one better...getting relegated ;)

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

He's not signed yet, the boy has no shame :td:

Joey Barton's move from Manchester City to Newcastle has been held up by his demand for a £300,000 loyalty payment from City. (Independent)

Somebody must have seen the Lionel Messi goal against Espanyol.

It was a Maradona 'hand of god' goal

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

Yep, it seems to be an Argentinian trait :mad:

Nistelrooy has equalised in the other game to level it, all we need now is a Beckham winner :)

Oh well, maybe Zaragoza haven't read the script.

Latest Zaragoza 2 Real Madrid 1

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

The Madrid game has been excellent so far but i cannot believe the referee didn't see that handball in the Barca game, if that wins them the league it will be ridiculous :td:
