He won't play til at least next season, cahill should be back hopefully. Here's how it could go... Howard Hibbo,Yobo.Jags,Lescott Pip,Cahill,Cars,Baines AJ,Yak Poor mid really but at least with pip and leighton we've got 2 players who'll get up and down and give us cover at the back but can also put a decent cross in - for timmy,yak and AJ.

"Everton may move for Blackburn's David Bentley" - just read this in today's Sunday Times - not a bad source...

He's not allowed to leave Spain at the moment is he?... because of his police charges... don't know how true that is - why would a £30,000 odd a week footballer have to steal a watch... Unless it's one of them black digital casio's that can go 50metres under water - then I don't blame him!

Is it only me or is anyone else not so sure about this? I'd love it to happen but I don't think it will.

Fookin shite - possibly a bit of over confidence today (a bit of bad luck - hitting the post/efforts off the line) so it's good we've been brought back down to earth before tuesday. Learn from this and move on - FAIR PLAY OLDHAM - I hope they get Chelsea/Arsenal/Manure at home next round.

1 fucking nil oldham!!!

Got a feeling hibbo's gona score today...

The most important words in your post...

I thought this was a topic about Joey Barton when I read the title... for when he's done his time!

The babies not yours, The babies not yours-or-ors, Stevie Gerrard, Your bird is a whore!!! (repeat lots of times!!!)

Watching his old club maybe...

I hate the thought of selling Arteta - and don't want or expect him to leave in the immediate future. BUT This is interesting to consider... we sell arteta to valencia with manny/albelda in the deal + significant cash and we invest the cash in long-term target Stewart Downing. Which midfield 5 is stronger? Current: Arteta, Osman, Timmy, Cars, Pienaar. If and buts: Pienaar, Manny, Timmy, Albelda, Downing. I'm not saying this will happen but the later is a stronger midfield altogether in my eyes - but I believe that arteta is the outstanding player over the other names I have mentioned.

Yes I've often called him Stephen twit - but that's only because he's good - it wouldn't be a massive gamble at £3m - and he'd no doubt give it his all for whoever he plays for. Not my first choice but certainly wouldn't oppose this.

May need him now ossie's out...

They're bare bones - there's no doubt about that - the fact that we've both played on the wed will be to our advantage in the way that west ham were forced to rush players back against us (ljunberg/aston/parker) and maybe would have enjoyed the luxary of resting these players for a bit longer because they're not 100% just yet - us on the other hand have a settled squad and a settled starting 11 - moyes hasn't needed to rush players back - our players have been playing well TOGETHER for the past few weeks now - I'd take a repeat of last night!

Knowledge is the bomb!!! parp! A few messages really shock me on this - 1st some chap saying he hoped we'd lose to West Ham last night!!! and now STATO here - Yobo's getting on a bit!!! - what next? A thread talking about a young winger Andy Van Der Meyde who's been putting some impressive performances in the ressies and seeing a bright future for this young lad!!! - I've come on here to have the crack about the team I love - it's sometimes hard when some people really don't have a clue...

Biggest load of turd I've ever read!!! You'll be more interested in the game tomorrow night won't you lad?!?!

Where's this diaby rumour coming from? Is it just hopefullness or is there any substance to it? It'd make sense on-loan until the summer. Doubt we'll go for appiah with the africa nations - may return to that one in the summer - maybe diaby stop gap...

Has he answered all his critics now? Proven premiership goal scorer.

Just off out to get my lottery numbers...

I hate to quote myself but............... (1 more....)

Yak hat-trick today.

Centre mid - is his priority from what i've seen and heard. Suppose he may do his loan and then sign tactic e.g. arteta, yobo, howard - and what would have been fernandes. Good way of doing business on the whole but fernandes is proof of the failings of this kind of deal! If downing becomes available in jan then i think moyes has always been a fan. Someone like simic would also probably appeal to moyes as a short-term measure but he's got good back-up for yobo in jags. Also there's a few championship youngsters being mentioned - gunter, etc. I think it'll be 1 permanent signing (first-team) with a bit of loan activity too. If rangers/celtic/birmingham put a serious bid in for mcfadden, i'm sure it would have to be very seriously considered.

He was training shevchenko the last I heard. Not a bad idea if it's true - where do hear this lad?

Could be a welcome chance to rest a couple with the december we've got ahead of us!
