I also woory that spurs and city not having europe whilst we do will make it very tough for us.

At least we don't have the intertoto as well.

What does Stephen Hawking say when his computer breaks?

Nothing.

I must say I find all this "Barry or Petrov" stuff **** childish.

And trust me, these anti Barry threads wouldn't exist if Barry hadn't have dared to look for a move after 11 years last season.

Because of that though, every little fault in his game have been highlighted and exaggerated to the extreme, and all his fine performances this season have been conveniently ignored or talked down.

Football fans are fickle by nature.

Why are biscuits exempt from VAT anyway? They are junk food snacks also...

Not all of them are, only some iirc. Thats why the Revenue wanted to call Jafffa cakes biscuits because they were chcocolate coated they were classsed as luxury biscuits and were taxable, biscuits without chocolate were staple biscuits and exempt but all cakes were exempt - hence the now famous court case where the revenue wasted gawd knows how many thousands of our pounds trying to prove a cake was not a cake

Ah I see. Which brings me on to my next point; Why is cake considered a staple? It is junk food as well.

Pace - Both have Tortoise pace.

Goals - Both only score 1 or 2 a season from open play.

Stamina - Both get knackered easily and don't have much energy.

Tackling - Petrov. Barry can't tackle for shit, he just bundles into the player and gives a free kick away.

Passing - Both have excellent passing.

Plus the big factor, Petrov actually wants to be here, Barry doesn't. Bye Gareth.

This, Barry has had his mind on other things for a long time now. If we can get 8-10 million for him we could get someone to complement Stan instead of having 2 of the same midfielders doing the same thing. One of them has to go, Stan signed a new deal cheerio Barry.

It would be better to keep them both and rotate them around the 4 comps whilst still buying a faster attacking mid to complement them right? Even playing both in a 4-5-1 when we have tough opposition.

No reason to sell 1 just because the other has signed a new deal.

Does anyone else spit polish at the end?

Eh???

When it looks like you can wipe no more, just spit on some bog roll and have one last swoop. Youd be surprised what comes up. Its not as if its disgusting.

If you don't you end up with skid marks in the underwear!

You commoners, do you people not have bidets?

Seriously though, sitting, it's so much less effort. I used to be a stander, but saw the light and now remain firmly seated.

"This"

there isnt much difference between a pack of bears and a velociraptors imo, both would dismantle a t-rex in numbers

If you believe the lying films then yes maybe.

Raptor

The Velociraptors in the Jurassic Park movies were actually Deinonychus. They changed the name from memory, I think partly because it sounded cooler and partly because the Velociraptor had just been discovered around the same time and was causing a lot of excitement.

Deinonychus

I think you guys are overestimating the T-Rex.

They were pretty big but not THAT big. I think a half dozen polar bears wouldn't have to much trouble, one would get a good couple of bites on it's leg and the T-Rex would be ****.

I would rather neither Petrov OR Barry left and we rotated them through the different competitions supporting an attacking midfielder or two to the benifit of all.

Is it too much to ask that we don't sell our good players?

I go to a lot of concerts too, I'd say at least two a week on average as I've gone through weeks where I've gone to five or even six... looks like I'll be going deaf too then.

You can wear ear plugs. It cuts out the damaging frequency. If you go to a LOT of gigs it is worth it, especially if you want to play music too.

I'm 24 and I couldn't hear it, even though my hearing seems to be going down the pan for some reason. Was there actually a sound there or is this a joke? I'm worried now...

Did you press the play button??

It is quite an annoying high pitch squeeking sound....

I feel sorry for Guus Hiddink and Arsene Wenger after this weeks Champions League games. Both are very good coaches, and both were let down by their players. I'm gutted for Fletcher and Abidal as well, I'd love to see both playing in Rome.

Not for Alves though. He is a douche....

I missed the second half and the reaction of the Chelsea players at the final whistle, anyone got a link to some footage?

You haven't been sent about a hundred gifs of it in you email yet??

Whatever way you spin it, you have nothing to back up your claim of being second best in Europe.

2nd in the league last year, runners up in the champions league last year and beaten semi finalists this year, having the better of their semi final in the process.

Pretty good credentials...

In your opinion you were the better side.

Fact is fella, you're out. Its like Glastonspur coming on here and telling us in his opinion Spurs are best placed to tackle the top 4, or my opinion we're the best team in the **** world. Oh yes. But thats all it is - opinion.

Barcelona done you lot over, the fact that you sat back for 170 of the 180 minutes of the Semi final kicking anything that moved and getting away with it kinda proves that what goes around, does come around when you were denied penalty after penalty.

Drogba and Ballack have proven to many exactly why your club is a 'pretend' big club - you were **** shite before you got the Russians money, and you're not in the same league in terms of stature as any of the other teams involved in the latter stages of the Champions League - a rich mans play thing, thats all you are.

Tit.

He is not a chelsea fan.

And I don't see how you can say they sat back in both legs.

Chelsea were the better team over both legs and were denied only by poor refereeing.

I have never understood how people can say suicide is cowerdly. Surely our greatest fear in life is a fear of dieing. Fear of ghosts/spiders/snakes or whatever all come back to the fact that we are afraid of being killed.

To actually be able to overcome that fear to kill yourself must take some bravery, you'd have to be in a pretty messed up state of mind to get past it but cowerdice doesnt come into it IMO.

What's the difference between Arsenal and Pelé?

Pelé's semi lasts a little longer.

FOR SALE! 60,000 Arsenal flags, good as new condition, only been waved for 7 minutes

I just got that in an email and came to post it here and guess what, Villatalk had beaten me too it as usual.

Barry is a good player as shown playing for England. If we had the players to attack off him (lampard/gerrard types) as England do we would get the best out of him IMO. We don't so we ask more of Barry than he is able to provide at the moment.

The answer though is not to sell him but keep him if possible and add a more mobile attacking threat alongside him in midfield.

This is why I would be very disappointed if we sold him. It is difficult to progress as a club if you sell your quality players in their prime.

And how many hundreds of millions did Barca's team cost??

very little from what i can see - theyve gone and brought a lot of those in on the cheap.

They are still paying them massive massive wages.

You can't play the money card crying "Chelsea cost more!" when you are paying out huge sums yourself.

And how many hundreds of millions did Barca's team cost??

C'mon the gooners.

Sick of Man U....

Well, that was a boring match. Barcelona are by far the better team and actually know how to play football. Chelsea just lobbed every player behind the ball and hacked their way to a draw. They got the tactics right on the night I suppose.

Yet what are they going to do at home? Surely they will need to try to play some football. If they do then I can see Barca hammering them. Unless Chelsea go ultra defensive again. Such a shame when the best footballing team (and the better overall team) doesn't beat a team like Chelsea. Hopefully Barca will finish them off in the second leg.

My only fear is that Barca will be missing defenders plus they have to play Real Madrid at the weekend. It will be footballs loss though if Chelsea get to the final. Considering all the money that has been spent on them they still aren't anywhere near being the best in Europe.....

If Chelsea beat Barcalona next week then they deserve to be in the final. If they play 10 behind the ball and go through on penalties then I would agree with you but I don't think they will be doing that in front of their own fans.

Anyone living a bit closer than me want to put some contamination banners around the St Andrews ground?
