Yeah, isn't Giggs out of contract soon?

You're welcome to him! Whinges less than Bellamy too

Yeah, I was trying to join in the piss-take of Newcastle (takes my mind off the free-fall towards the relegation zone Spurs are experiencing)

Can't see many teams wanting Giggs at the kind of wages he's on now (but then I couldn't see many teams wanting Heskey at all and was proved wrong).

Possibly, although we still won't have as many Man Utd. has-beens in our team as Man Utd. currently have.

Hats off to Borro then aureole

I think you did okay - the offside calls were marginal and Garcia looked okay going forward. 2-0 doesn't do you justice, but I think it's fair given the goal we had chalked off in the Carling Cup match so it all evens out

.

Was it me or is Garcia a bit of a moaning mare? Steve McClaren refuses to look happy, but given that we haven't had our traditional post-Xmas slump yet, I can see why he doesn't want to get too excited yet. Remember that your record so far isn't that bad and you've had a f'n *awful* hand of injuries. Mind you, I hope the board has worked out that if you poach players (Ziege, Kewell), the football gods shall smite thee by making them shit

Aye it all comes out in the wash in the end. Only saw the goals on MotD2 due to a rather washed out Saturday-after-Friday-night

Garcia's goal looked OK as it came off one of yours but that's the way it goes sometimes.

I think he's in a state of shock. He got off to a reasonable start but is finding it tough now with all these nasty hard-nock Premiership loonies and freezing cold weather

(Only joking Luis, if yer reading...)

The general feeling here is that things are going in the right direction...on occasion. The defneding can be comical though (see Riggot's goal

)
and...yeah...the injuries don't help but...

I know, I know

A Boro mate here has mentioned that a few times too over the last couple of years

Still - Arsenal next in the Premiership. That should be easy

Yeah: that's been doing the rounds. I wouldnt say know: I was in the camp that would have kept him anyway when we had the chance. Our problem is lack of dosh...so, it's going to be interesting. On Saturday's display, we could do with a couple of new defenders as well

8 million spondoolies for Anelka?
He must be pushing for the player with the greatest amount of transfer money spent on him over the years. And he's still only 23 or something.

I know. Signing-on fees will set him up nicely I suppose. Doubt we have Â£8 mil though, so...y'know....looking for the cheap and cheerful
