The only ything bad about Brzil is that when they play bad they still can win and thats unfair, but in this last game they were superb

been offline over the weekend. in summary....

go on scotland. EASY EASY EASY. Well it was.

And crouch is a cheating bastard. he's a good 5 inches taller than any normal person (yes, hes a freak) yet he still feels the need to climb up the backs of players and push them down when going for crosses. Oh those poor, plucky andorrans.

[Jim]

Still, it can't erase the embarrasment of a few years back completely though, can it, surely?

... Oh well, at least there was no lap of disgrace this week then...

Wrong they try to play good

I hope everyone has seen the clause in West Ham's deal for Tevez and Mascherano.

They HAVE to play them if they are fit.

United, Roma, Arsenal, Chelsea and more all looked at these players but once they found out that was the deal, they decided not to pursue their interest and this left only Portsmouth and West Ham in the running for the players.

That was only a rumour

No, it's true. They were touted to Porsmouth, and even they turned them down.

Done.

Chelsea have tonight revealed that they were forced to sell William Gallas because he threatened to score an own goal if selected.

..and everything Chelsea say is true and free of personal attacks

Chelsea would try to tell u the sky was green and they play in pink and white.....

They also claim that nobody from their club ever had a tea party with a player contracted to another club and made him an offer he couldn't refuse...

[Danny Top Hat]

What if Gallas is a spy and Chelsea only said that to throw us off the scent?

[Izzy]

A devious new ploy! Sell a player as a double agent, you not only get money but a penalty when you need it

Frankly i wouldn't put it past them - though they'd probably just bribe the ref first - and face it, with the way refs behave - that would probably only cost the price of an ice cream

[CAFC Nick]

Yeh I saw this story and it's so unprofessional of Chelsea to do this. They are a massive club and they shouldn'tve done this. It has lost them a lot of respect in the footballing world. Even ex-manager Claudio Ranieri was on Sky Sports News saying how he doesn't believe this is true. I think Gallas may have said this, on the spur of the moment, but not meant a word. He is way too professional to be thinking things like this to a club who have given him a job for 5 years with top wages.

[Shoco]

well the story does have a bit of credibility considering gallas went awol and failed to show up for the pre season tour in america

Well West Ham denied it

[Jim]

The whole thing stinks, who would believe anything that either side is going to say regarding the matter?

Exactement.

The truth will undoubtedly unfold in the next 12 months or so.

If they do well at West Ham there is a chance they move to a bigger club.

And if they are naff, they'll either stay or move sideways to a similar sized club in Spain or Germany.
