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!

5-1 it's still going on chap. 5-1 full-time - JV,AVDM, Lucaz, Bjarni and super jack rodwell - good work-out!!!

I know pompy are awesome at home but it doesn't look like they score many... I always fancy us to score... OPTIMISM!

He was utter bollox at hitting the cross-bar yesterday!

Big tall centre mid (who can play a bit) and a winger who can run at players for me. I also don't oppose the hoyte link, just to add depth to the squad (left or right back - athletic and great potential). Here's my summary of the squad: G/K's- fine - loan out turner and ruddy with recall's. Def's- prefer nev RB, Yobo will be big miss for African Nations but stubbs,lescott and jags should get us through... Mid- too short (height wise) doesn't matter with arteta, piennus and oz - that's not their game but we need a monster in the middle - cars/nev too short. Wings- still haven't got the player who can run at people - arteta class, piennus very impressive - but both similar in the way they play - VDM - waste of time, faddy - can't do it enough in this pos or up top. Att- like nev said we've got one of the best front-lines, yak and aj - proven class - vic and vaughan - great potential - faddy not bad back-up. For me, if there was any truth in the appiah link he's the man for the middle if not I've got a feeling about tom huddlestone from the yids - giant with a nice touch and can pick-out a pass and has a great strike - he has also played as a centre back in the past - £5m max aswell i'd think. As for the winger, we always get linked to downing - could this be possible with boro neither here nor there? - i'd love him here anyway. Giles barnes - another one who gets linked - if he can prove fitness/prem class then def worth a go. (a big qu from me is how close is kissock? - he's a young left winger isn't he? - heard lots of good things about him but thats it.) As for out-goings, there's only VDM who i'd like to see leave - he hasn't earned his right to play for us - hibbo,valente,faddy all add to the depth of our squad - something we've needed for years!!! I'm not one who thinks we'll need to sell to buy I think we're in quite a tidy position at the moment - it'll be interesting...

I know it's not directly linked to the football but was there trouble after the match - I had to dodge a few police cars with their sirens on as I ran back to my car after the match? Them boys aren't the nicest bunch as it is (stereotyping) and to lose as they did - recipe for disaster!!!

Look what I started - and there I was just stating the obvious and World War III erupts - the joys of ToffeeTalk - I think they've (yak and cahill) earnt the right to start again against Nuremburg! Cue the arguement...
