auch bad times . but i'm sure the new german kid will turn things around for you <_< .

they'll never get him .. he loves AC Milan, he loves the city Milan (how can you go to Manchester after that).. plus AC will never sell him ... to me Kaka is the best player in the world.

at least he's a lot better than that twat mike riley.

"6 new guys" ... "young prodigies, eg fellaini" that would mean £90 million ... i guess arteta and cahill are worth 45m each .

ok seeing how i apparantly suck at making predictions on who will win (alltho philly still in it ! ) , who do you think will make it to the superbowl ? i'd say philly - baltimore ?

quick update on this : Tuesday, Vincent Kompany was named player of the month for december by Manchester City. not that this settles anything, but it might lighten your stance on the fact that they're not even to be mentioned in the same breath. .

2Pac - Changes.

I agree .. I don't think it can be regarded as "It's a big step up from La Liga" if you go from Real Madrid to the PL. It's a more physical game but he experienced that already to a lesser extend in the Bundesliga and he was great there.

gave it to fellaini ... utter dominance in the first half, a little less in the second but still good .. good to see him score again after a short drought. what a difference it makes when he plays or not .. no opposing side knows what to do about him.. i think we're screwed now against liverpool, just don't have enough threats without him. right flank wasn't that impressive today with osman and hibbert not having their best games..

NICE ONE MO!! now take him of moyes !! before he gets a yellow. .

lol doesn't look like he's gonna last another 5 minutes.

fair enough . I'm just glad you clarified it were supporters of Standard who claim their player is the best in decades ... rather than "most Belgian observers, Liege and other supporters".

if 19 red cards, weren't there 3 players not sent off ?

Before Fellaini the most expensive was Van Buyten (played for Man City for a year), by that definition he was the best ? Obviously not The Fact that Fellaini is getting a lot of attention is also facilitated by his role in Everton, attacking midfielder in a free role ... whereas Kompany has to stay close to the defenders (and has only gotten praise from Hughes). I doubt if you can say that Defour or Witsel would be worse, the number of top PL clubs that are interested in them seems to disagree with that statement. I like Fellaini, but to me he's not the best Belgian player right now, and certainly not for decades as The Beard said.

hm don't know if i agree with that ... he never even finished in the top5 of the "Golden Shoe" (on which everyone gets a vote) and you can't blame his age because the guy who won it last year (steven defour) is even younger. generally Kompany (of Man City) is regarded as the best Belgian player in years (won Golden Shoe at age 19) ... but that's also debatable. what however in my opinion is NOT debatable is that Fellaini is the best to come out of Belgium, seeing how he clearly is not.. he is nonetheless a good player and has really surprised with what he has been able to do in Everton. EFC did get robbed with the fee because Moyes was desperate and the Standard chairman played it very smoothly (having a friend from Real Madrid call him during his meeting with Moyes) ... I think a more fitting fee would have been around 8-10million. (seeing how it did work out for Everton, at the time of the deal itself I thought 5m should have sealed the deal).

That is just one reporters' opinion, not a real vote. I'd actually rank 'em : 1. Moussa Dembélé (AZ Alkmaar, Ned) 2. Vincent Kompany (Manchester City, Eng) 3. Steven Defour (Standard) 4. Axel Witsel (Standard) 5. Marouane Fellaini (Everton, Eng) Fellaini also never won the most prestigious football award (Golden Shoe) in Belgium. But congrats to him nonetheless! he's made very good progress with everton.

Does killing time damage eternity? How do you write zero in roman numerals? If Barbie is so popular then why do you have to buy all of her friends? If you take an oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disorientated? Is there another word for synonym? How is it possible to have a civil war? If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

The Cure - Friday I'm In Love.

too new to everton to know who AJ is, sorry. but there's more to tchité than just running of course, only weakness to me is his heading.

Tchité 's main quality is running really really fast . he did play for the two best teams in belgium and was good enough there to earn himself a transfer to a better league. he was supposed to be playing for the belgian national team, but there's still some uncertainty wether or not he can because he used to play for burundi or rwanda or congo (some former belgian colony) after the age of 21 .. (i don't know the exact rule) ... point being he would make the belgian team, probably as a starter. pronunciation of his name : the first "t" is silent, so in fact it is "chité" which is pronounced "shit-eeee".

you'd put anichebe in after his performance against Macc ? (and the whole team's performance) i'd stick with the team that was on such a role before the cup game. no striker, just cahill and fellaini terrorizing..

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Do You Love Me. I found God and all His devils inside her In my bed she cast the blizzard out A mock sun blazed upon her head So completely filled with light she was Her shadow fanged and hairy and mad Our love-lines grew hopelessly tangled And the bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Like I love you!

vandervaart would be awesome ... midfield of Pienaar - VDV - Cahill - Osman ---------------Fellaini would be better than what we have now, imo. only thing arteta is better at than VDV, is gettin the ball back but that could be fellaini's role then (which he has played his whole life). also : mrs VDV.

heh ok .. guess i was still bitter about patriots not making the playoffs and that idiot favre.. (besides, refs killed indy on last SD drive).. at least the ravens put a little dent in the losses

whole team wasn't very impressive .. but anichebe stood out als utter shiite (to me at least).
