Gerard Houllier: "Our new Winger cost five million. I call him our wonder player"
Sir Alex Ferguson: "Why's that?"
Gerard Houllier: "Everytime he plays I wonder why I bothered to buy him!"

And the reverse can be said for Ronaldo

all flash and no substance

Only 5m? Cheap for a Houllier money-waster.

(C) Ronaldo's a show pony who's nowhere near worth 12m on what I've seen. Maybe in a few years but United need him to perform now.

Ronaldo was brought over here too early, granted Fergie needed to replace Beckham urgently, but Ronaldo should have stayed in Spain to hone his skills.

Or even in Portugal.

Just been reported on KEY103 radio, that Sir Alec Ferguson went into hospital sometime last week to have a heart pacemaker fitted.

this was posted a short while ago on the club website.

Sir Alex Has Pacemaker Fitted

12/3/04 11:10 AM

Sir Alex Ferguson had a pacemaker inserted last week. It was a routine, straightforward procedure and he was back in training the next day.

Sir Alex Ferguson said, "I want to reassure the fans that everything is okay, I feel fine. It was an option for me to get this done, the club knew about it and I feel great. It's business as usual."

Chealsea V Arsenal!
Chealsea will play Arsenal in the 1/4 final of the Champions league. The winner of this will probably face Real Madrid in the semis

Looking forward to the derby on Sunday, bit of bad news Keane has picked up a slight injury so will miss the game, which isn't good with Gary Neville and Rio being suspended, and Fortune out for the season.

This means the team will be something like this

Howard
P Neville Brown O'Shea Pugh
Fletcher Butt Scholes Giggs
Saha
Van Nistelrooy

Lucky it's City, with that defence you'd be praying for an attack that couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.

Chelsea fan at work today looked like a bomb had hit him, but has anyone seen the Arsenal's six-match run of Chelsea, Man U, Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle? If we get through that lot unscathed I'll start thinking about trebles, but it's a big ask.

In other news no one will be surprised to see Wenger as manager of the month (poisoned chalice), Bergkamp/Edu player of the month and Henry gets a gong for being the first to score 20 in the Prem this season (wtf? surely most top sides expect to get a 20 goal striker?).

edu? i wasnt aware arsenal had played him this season hes made that much of an impact.....
im sure ruudy has already scored 20 goals in the prem this season as well?

TigaSefi · 12-03-2004, 18:43

Portugal then :pp Can't expect me to know the niceties of everything at OT :pp

BBKing · 12-03-2004, 19:48

Henry's on 20, Van Nostrilbooy has 18. Anyone would think you didn't have Sky Sports News on 24 hours a day

He's also got 3 in the FA Cup, 6 in Europe and 7 for France.

Edu, for the one person in the country who hasn't noticed, has blossomed recently to the extent of forcing Gilberto (World Cup Winner) Silva out of central midfield onto the right wing. Scored four goals last month, away at Boro, against Chelsea at the Bridge, and two away at Celta Vigo, the second with his right foot, which I didn't know he had. Total of seven for the season so far, making him Arsenal's fourth highest scorer after TH, Pires and Freddie.

Come on United, can't lose to City for gods sake
