Everythinz good when you're the winner, and it seemz az though Liverpool have mo to brag about than Chelsea. But still, itz better than the other way around.

i think park is a good signing...scholes has declined considerably, and giggs has been very inconsistent, he needs to have contract talks every week of the year and im still not convinced ronaldo is a good winger, hes more of a forward than a midfielder.

Ronaldo is awesome. Fergie's best signing since Van Nistelrooy. Seeing him tear down the left was one of the best parts of the FA cup. He's matured a lot over the last year too. More often than not his tricks now tend to actually lead to some end product.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

they sure do, an he is a top player and has matured greatly in the last year or so. rooney and him are our future. but i still see him more as a supporting forward than a winger. i remember reading somewhere that he average the most crosses per match, but with only 4 or 5 assists, thats not a good ratio and i think van nisteroy suffers partly because of it. great to watch tho

 

[LMF^^]

Ronaldo can now cross better than his first season, I remember in FA Cup final he sent a perfect cross to van Nistelrooy from the right but that guy headed it over the bar unmarked from 6 yardz out.

 

[copious]

He also sent a perfect cross to Paul Scholes in the FA cup final. He had Sol Campbell inside out( i think it was sol) on the left wing, only to have scholes miss an absolute sitter over the bar unmarked.

 

[HeCtic]

Sol didn't play in the Cup Final mate.

Speaking of Sol, his lil brother is now going to jail for 3 months after he beat the shit out of some bloke who kept calling Sol gay. Bloody idiot.

Oh and here's Arsenals new kit, to celebrate the last season at Highbury. I quite like it, especially the retro keeper kit

 

[Benny_]

Who's that fat dunce on the left? If it's Gilberto, he's seen better days.

And is that the home kit? If it is, then I have to say it's a step down from Arsenal's previous kit, which I quite liked.

 

[HeCtic]

Gilberto, he does look a bit fat though eh? Probably because the picture was taken when he was coming back from an injury.

They should probably be taking Ash Cole out of the picture though. That said I think the kit looks pretty classy. Hopefully the away kit is changed from this years blue disaster.

 

[HeCtic]

Oh and Everton have done well to pick up Forsell for 3 million. Davies and Forsell are good buys, with Scottie Parker on the way they look very decent now if the players can fit into the squad.

Need some new defenders though. I'd be very worried to see the like of Weir, Pistone and Unsworth in the Champions League.

Wenger's face looks Photoshoped.

 

[HeCtic]

Well it's from Arsenal.con so I don't see any reason why they'd need too. He's not that ugly

 

[LMF^^]

That kit don't look very nice, I like the current one better.

 

[RUB!X]

new kit looks good, so bergkamp did get the new contract?

 

[IamaFloorMat]

i heard everton were aiming to get Mamadou Niang from Strasbourg
he is a great striker, i saw a recent game against some relegation team a beautiful individual goal where he just skips past about 6 defenders ...

he would be a good signing for Everton

 

[LMF^^]

I think Lyon are favoured to sign Niang, az Govou will leave.

 

[IamaFloorMat]

right well either way Everton need some more quality players.... because at the moment i really dont this there team is capable of Europe

 

[Paragon]

I think Lyon are favoured to sign Niang, az Govou will leave.

Where's Govou off to?

 

[...]

everton needs another striker??
hmm, i don't think they really need another one, they are better off by signing more quality defenders
