Versus a racist thug. Let me think...

Apart from an outlandish claim from Spurs fans with practically nothing to back it up, how is John Terry racist? Apart from one bar brawl, how is he a thug?

There's plenty of stuff to throw at JT that's genuine, without resorting to stupid Spurs lies.

I am sick of backing up Ireland on this issue, but the lad had been told that his missus had miscarried. I know two people who have been through that and it is a shocking experience. I would cut a bit of slack personally.

So, after being caught in three lies Ireland finally told the truth. Or maybe after a fourth lie the FAI and press just stopped digging and couldn't be bothered exposing the lies, especially as they'd got even more personal and sensitive.

If Ireland's partner had miscarried and they were both united in delusions and stupidity because of their grief, they do deserve to be cut come slack. But getting that slack should probably mean he keeps out of media storms which have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with him.

3 Citeh players decided to support Bridge with the Twilight inspired shirts. That means 15 players didn't. Then your manager chose to add further publicity to the situation by talking about it. Like I said, lame.

I've heard a couple of whispers that Rodwell is in discussions with United and could quite possibly be at Carrington now. Not entirely sure how reliable they are, but they were convinced.

Heard the same myself. Usual deadline day rubbish I reckon.

I'm pretty sure when United signed Anderson, they signed him on a case of 'exceptional ability' or something along those lines. Surely if this fella is as good as made out, City should be able to sign him. How long has he been in Europe for? What exceptional ability is that? What is it now, 5 asissts and one goal in three seasons? I think Margia has been in Europe for four years (cannot be bothered to check Wiki). He played in Sweden for two years and has played in Italy since then.

Your assumption is incorrect. I guess you are unaware of two other incidents that have taken place. This from someone who is an impeccable source - it comes from soneone who works in the FA for someone very senior. These were the real reasons why some FA bigwigs have always been against Terry being captain.

So, after being caught in three lies Ireland finally told the truth. Or maybe after a fourth lie the FAI and press just stopped digging and couldn't be bothered exposing the lies, especially as they'd got even more personal and sensitive.

The more you write, the less plausible your argument becomes.

Like I said, I have no opinion about the City players and their support for Bridge because I dion't care about what went on. However, I would rather them be 'lame' than similar to Terry. Terry is deeply unpopular in football.

Why would anyone want to move from Everton?

I'm intrigued to find out why we've sold Buchtmann, especially for so little. He's looked a massive prospect when I've seen him for the academy and Germany, especially for £100k, have we made a loss there?

You need the money

Few on the forums have said he's had discipline problems. Seems like Pourie MKII. I liked Buchtmann, if anyone saw him for Germany's youth teams, they'd know how good he is.

Isn't he also injured at the moment? Be an interesting medical with him hobbling round.
