Well, we got 13 million for Woodgate (although some of that is sure to have gone to the bank), plus you figure there's a little bit extra available on top of that. Rumour has it that O' Brien might be off to Villa for 3 million (

), and who knows whether Bernard will be off or not this January?

Anyway, he's talking to Kuffour of Bayern Munich, who would no doubt cost a few million.

Fine by me - if we don't get Morientes.

I was well pissed off that Houllier didn't snap him up when he had the chance. I get the feeling that Benitez has the right blend of steel and sympathy that Anelka would respond to.

I think Anelka's being used as a bargaining chip with RÃ©al. They're holding out for more dosh for Morientes (allegedly). Then again there's the current rumour that we're allegedly (again) after both

Yet another story on http://www.MARCA.es implies the deal is done

Dunno. We need a forward of some description. End of. What bothers me more is the total lack of any news regarding finances. This, I believe, is the ambition that Gerrard is on about. If that doesn't happen now or by the summer, he's off IMHO

Hasn't Anelka been at about 18 clubs over the last four seasons?

Have you seen the United team sheet? Ferguson being an arrogant fuck again - serve him right if they get dumped.

I was watching Soccer Saturday. With about 20 minutes to go, he panicked and sent on Scholes and Ronaldo

It really is very disrespectful to the opposition, and we have suffered too often because of it in the past.

That's a really poor looking team he's turned out there. Having said that, I'd still have expected them to beat Exeter, but then again, the FA Cup is always extra-special for the little teams. It'll be interesting to see who he puts out for the replay, though!

Just watched the Oldham - Man City game, and I have to say Oldham deserved that win.

Gills couldn't win an argument if they tried at the moment.

A somewhat unconvincing win for Spurs, but hat off to Brighton for a good game.

And at least we're not City...

First away win against Championship opposition for us (Forest). Great game too - we dominated which just hasn'e happened at all this season.

small yay!

It's amazing how a series of poor calls by the ref ( not giving a handball or the resulting following offside ) can result in a 3-1 defeat for Villa.

Let's see if my second team (Plymouth) can do any better, and then I hope my Ex's team lose (Newcastle).
