:lol:

Now wouldn't that have been typical?

I don't think we're buying anyone. I'm getting very nervous indeed about this season.

Shame for Ashton. I haven't seen enough of him to know how good he could be, but this would have been an interesting game for him.

I think Newcastle will get one or two more players, hopefully one of Kuyt, Martins or Collins John and obviously a central defender.

It looks like Man Utd are going for Hargreaves, the only surprising thing about this is that it did not happen sooner.

Is there a Yak Yak fantasy football league for this season?

I knew there was some reason why I never liked him.

Hang on, but didn't you already pay a fortune for Carrick to play the same position?

Yeah, but he's crocked, innit?

Don't forget that we have Scholes and Rooney out for 3 games too. Hargreaves would just be a filler :lol:

It was ever thus.

United want a player, the price gets inflated.

United want to sell a player, the price nosedives.

Mind you, I can't see the Hargreaves thing coming off - I can imagein Bayern being pretty pissed off at United over the Van Nistelrooy thing. Speaking of the useless Dutchman (useless because he doesn't play for us anymore, natch'), how on earth does Fergis think that we are going to score goals this year? Saha? - aha...... Smith? - no, no....

Here's my guess:

Rooney and RONALDO up fron together (I bet Fergie was impressed at Ronaldo in the world cup), and either Carrick or Hargreaves if he arrives down the left hand side.

You heard it first here, dudes.

God I hope you're right then the likes of Newcastle and Spurs have a great chance of qualifying for the Champions League.


ManU do look very stretched in attack and midfield and have done for some time. Remind me what Fergie spent £12m in January on Evra and Vidic for?

Fantastic result for NI. 2-1 away to Finland is not too shabby :)

The person it'd be bad news for is Fletcher, so I hope it all falls through. Fletcher's been magnificent for Scotland. :)

I see Andy Reid has signed for Charlton. When both and he and Michael Dawson left Forest, I expected Reid to be the superstar but it's kinda worked the other way. 8O [/b]

Big things were expected of Reid but not his waistline. He had some great moments for Spurs but overall seemed a little too injury prone and unfit (like I can talk). Lovely goal against villa though :)

Of course, this means Spurs now have even fewer optionss on the left of midfield :(
No time for heartache, no time to run and hide,
no time for breaking down, no time to cry.
