It is though isn't it. Serie A is much more defensive minded than the Prem, with generally better defenders playing in it.

What, taking serious blows to the head because he was prancing around on a motorcycle when he shouldn't have been?

How's he going to do that from the Sweeper position

Surely he can come to that conclusion himself from the shirt he's wearing

God if you think Short is slow you've never seen Amo play giraffen I know how you feel, my Norwegian is terrible when I'm drunk ............doesn't improve much when I'm sober either . Good job

Exactly what I said whilst watching MOTD at work receiving abuse from an Everton and NobEnd fan about Andy Cole. What was it, four clear chances (not counting the one that just hit him and he claimed )?

Emerton getting #7 suggests he'll start right? God help us

That's fair enough

What on Earth is that?! McEverley at the back, he's been out for ages! And Nissa?! Emerton at RB?! Our best 11 (I think): Friedel Neill, Amoruso, Matteo, Gray Gally, Fergie, Tugay, de Pedro Dickov, Stead Don't criticise if you can't come up with a better team yourself - Tugay and Ferguson in the centre of midfield, Gally on the right! If that's not a midfield asking to be overrun then I don't know what is

Friedel Neill Short Matteo Gray Thompson Douglas Ferguson De Pedro Stead Dickov

You're beginning to form your sentences like a German now I think you've been asking for more than one beer mate

#We're on the ball, we're on the ball.....#

Now that's not good at all... I wouldn't be worried if it was someone else (Well, maybe Matteo) but it's not very encouraging. I just hope it's the other knee, or that it's simply bruised. I think it may have just been procortionalry WHAT? Precautionary mate

Out of interest did the trialist have a name on the back of his shirt? Or was Souness pissing around and had M. Trialist printed on it

Age: 40 Nationality: Welsh Position: Forward

I'm leaning towards it being Dean Saunders - it sounds like part of his machiavellian plan to take over the world (or at least Ewood Park)

Did he come on with a blank Rovers shirt and a mask then?

Dear God what a terrible deal for our club

If we're relegation fodder then surely Fulham are 'Championship' contenders

That would make matches good fun for the opposition

Probably not, hel! they'll probably forget to bring the kit

I seriously hope these papers are just picking up on the Sunday People's story and not having actual sources. Souness has redeemed himself somewhat in my eyes for his summer signings so far - if he was to release Cole and pay him off, well then he quite simply must go the way of the Russian royal family and be shot in a basement

Clearly sales stats prove you are wrong. And what makes you think you carrying on about it will change anything?

Frankly mate I don't care and I don't know why you can't just let it go - nobody in their right mind buys the Sun or the Daily Mail (or any of that sh!t) anyway.

On a free, or with a transfer fee? On his ridiculous wages or has he taken a pay cut?
