They could still finish third in the league after all.

Bloody hell! How do i quote the misguided teachings of Batdude?

[Big Boy Barry]

I was going to say, all those people booing Becks better shut up, right now.

[mel1213]

Well that didn't take long!

[NorthernNinny]

At least we're 27 threads in front of the Berties.

A moral victory.

[batdude_uk1]

As I was saying to SS-
"That is what you get for giving him stick!

He always rises his game when people give him stick, when will people learn?!
To be fair, it was against Galaxy's ex-keeper was it not (and ex-Bolton as well), so Becks would know his weaknesses would he not (if I have got that bit right??)?"

Also it is nice to be first for a change!

And now they've got all the momentum. Montreal look shell-shocked.

Having looked at some of the past designated players (signing players outside the salary cap) I forgot about Man City's Geovanni! Kris Boyd of Rangers is playing for Portland as a DP I see.

Some work, some don't (Ljungberg!). Beckham's performances have not matched his ridiculous fee, but clearly the odd attendance boost is what the MLS care about.

[Big Boy Barry]

How come the mighty Billingham Synthonia don't get their own thread?


Anyway, Becks should go to the Olympics. He's still good with set pieces.

Ricketts is ex-Bradford City.

The commentary is ridiculous. Montreal are attacking and they're talking about Mother's Day.

[Joey Boswell]

Woo Woo on the first page this time - another new thread - amazing

Bradford, Bolton, meh, they are the same to me, they both begin with the letter "B"!

I am surprised it is not Mothers Day sponsored by "......"
They sure do love their sponsors!

"who?" and "yes"

You've never heard of the great Billingham Synthonia???

The only football club in the world to be named after an agricultural fertiliser???

Shocking.




And also, it should be taken into account that if Becks isn't selected for GB, he will cry, and I just can't bear the thought of that

They've just called Tottenham "a legendary EPL side". Nothing against Spurs, but what have they done lately to merit that status even from a marketing standpoint?

I can't wait until Nani is in MLS. If I were a fan I'd move my car to a different lot and away from the goal in which he's shooting or crossing!

[batdude_uk1]

It would be fun to see our midfield from 99 back together again at the Olympics (Giggs, Becks, Scholes).
I cannot see all of them being picked though, as I think Pearce will pick Bale as one of his three over-age players in his 18 man sqaud.

I think i have referred to enough players as some sort of variation of "agricultural fertiliser" in the past to appreciate the concept of an entire team.

Beckham will rightly go to the Olympics and he will look great doing it.

I can see Rio perhaps going over there sooner rather than later to be honest, as I think he would be a good fit.
If Nesta and Del Piero move over there, as the stories suggest that they might, it will soon get interesting as to who goes where, as there are only a certain number of slots at each club (although Red Bulls must be getting rid of Marquez soon, as he is hated there!, so that would free up a spot there for someone).

And you wonder why i don't rate the Olympic squad?!

[skimminstones]

scholes wont go anyway, fergie has already said the only over age player going will be giggs

Thats one more than should be going.

Yeah, a lot of the DPs are now defensive mids or defenders and not just the glamour attacking mid or forward.

We have Torsten Frings although we play him out of position every game.

1-1 the final. Intense finish. Ricketts made some phenomenal saves.

(next day's papers)

Yeah that is strange (all the DM's as DP's), you would have thought the rule was created to allow more how can I put it, "Glamour signings", but I guess these would cost a lot more, but with the calibire of players that are now coming to the end of thier time in Europe, perhaps we will see more of them in the MLS, it would certainly be an interesting time if that did happen.

Please don't start people off with silly stories (Ricketts to be Dave's replacement!), as there are already too many stories linking us with players as it is!

So what is everybody doing tomorrow?

I would consider watching our game tomorrow if I thought for a second they would focus solely on us, they wont though, it'll be pop ups when City score, flipping back and forth etc, I don't plan on seeing a second of City tomorrow.

So I finally picked up Alan Wake in the Steam sale, I'm just going to play that for a few hours then drink, drink and more drink.

Depending on what the whether is like in this neck of the woods, I am going to go somewhere, where I can be by myself, so that no-one can interrupt my calmness, as I wish the day, and this week away, by reading books, and watching youtube on my phone.
