What would be the point taking it down now. All it shows is the england players didnt do too well, which everyone already knew! I think it was unwise to be involved in it in the first place but the damage is done now. To be honest I think gerrard should be pretty happy to be ranked in the top 70!

Apparently Spurs have had their latest planning application knocked back - this time due to concerns over increases in traffic. I remember this only to well from when we were trying to get our stadium built.

You can take the player out of Manchester but you can't take the Manchaester out of the player

And throw in Arsenals Captain Fantastic in the mix also - he seemed to think it was hilarious. Whats with these Spaniards? Worst winners ever?

Joe Cole has just signed a four year deal with Liverpool. Great buy.

[The Nal]

Suprised that Joe Cole has left London in the end - yet another player old Twitcher can add to Spurs' almost signed list. SHould be a good buy for the IF he stays fit.

anyone know of any good bars in leeds where i could watch the celtic qualifier next week (know it's scottish based, but correct thread for info)

just worried that it'll clash with the liverpool game and pubs will just be showing that.

I do love the Mail. When Wenger was asked what he thought about the new rules on squads he said that ‘I’m not too much for rules. What is important is quality,’ ‘The Premier League is the most watched league in the world and you only get that if you focus on quality.’

This has of course been turned into an anti-foreigner rant in the hate-mail.

The comments on the article are as always the real treat, my favourite being

With their selfish antics Wenger and his foreign ilk have definitely contributed to the deterioration of the England team. It was bad enough years ago when Scots, Irish and Welsh flooded English sides but this new generation of foreigners are much worse. For me, the new rules don't go far enough. I'd like to see 6 English players on the pitch at all times and a ban on any foreigner who does not come from the EEC.

Hes a great player when he wants yeah. So, in the space of 2 weeks, Woy has already made a better signing than Rafa did in 6 years and after spending £230 million (Torres and Alonso aside).

I would add reina and mascherano to your list. Also possibly agger, skrtel, kuyt and beneyoun. Cole has done no more than them in the last couple of years. As I have said previously he could have been a great player but never reached his potential. When was the last season he had when he had any real type of influence?

There aren't many great pubs in Leeds to watch football in, but if you have to, go for The Packhorse hidden away near Topman on one of the main shopping streets, The Dry Dock near Leeds Met (although the managers a Liverpool fan and it's a Scream bar, despite it being entertaining to drink inside a ship) or the Elbow Room.

If you get really stuck, there's a Sports Bar near the town hall.

Benzema and Ribery I the deep doo doo. They could do a bit of bird and it looks like theyre defo being hauled up in front of the beak.

In fairness though....

[Steve P]

In all fairness you can have sex with 15 year olds in France, they just been arrested as prostitutes have to be 18.

What I found weird (Ribery breaking his religous convictions aside)is all these footballers (she did Govu & Ben Arfa too after turning 18 though) are paying for sex when you are that famous why do you need to pay for it, or maybe I'm just stingy or perhaps they were doing a bit of roasting as a form of team bonding?

anyone else watching philly uni v utd?

[Steve P]

Joe Cole is making me laugh. Yes you've got to suck up a bit to you new fans but honestly...

"I could have stayed at Chelsea because the fans loved me and I won things, but I wanted to challenge myself and when I knew Liverpool were interested it was a no-brainer because they are the biggest club in the country"

Will those "special european nights" be quite the same for the Europa league?

Also sad to see that Eduardo has left us. He never really recovered from his injury - a real shame as he was looking like he could be quite some player. Here's hoping he can rediscover his confidence and form at a new club.
