Owen pretty much signs for Madrid. Liverpool getting some Nunez guy. No mention of Morientes.

Liverpool are getting mugged off big time.

True but what are they going to do? It seems pretty clear that he's made up his mind now, if they don't take what's on offer they'll get nothing when he sits out the final year of his deal.

Having said that, it is sort of karma for how ridiculously cheap they signed Kewell from Leeds for.

Owen is piss poor now without his pace anyway.

True Pompy fan lol

Christ, be more 1-1 draws, just stuck £1 on the Boro Vs Newcastle being 1-1 at 11-2

Still only one team in Bristol.

Junior Agogo = the man.

His name = the man

I was surprised to see Owen was transferred, he doesn't seem like he would fit in la liga. Meh.

They have Ronaldo, Morientes and Raul, buying Owen was in everyway pointless.

How many midfielders do Chelsea have these days?

Ultimately Liverpool got a good deal.

Owen is streaky. Sure he'll score 5 in 6 games but then he'll get injured or go 10 games without a goal.

He's pretty money-obsessed. Liverpool lost McManaman on a free so why run the risk of it happening again? It was clear that he wasn't going to sign a new contract.

Nine and a half.

Robben, Duff, Lampard, Cole, Parker, Geremi, Makelele, Smertin, Tiago

I suppose Glenn Johnson can be classed as one as he plays there quite often.

Ronaldo won't be there next season and I'd be surprised if Morientes was too. I bet Owen is playing for Chelsea or Man United within 2 years.

Real needed Veira so much more, still lacking a solid defensive midfielder since Makalele went.

I'm so bloody stoked, "Real always get their man", ay?

:lol:.

There were no scenes like this at the Bernabeu last season:

Cambiasso is actually not that bad, what they've really missed is a solid centreback since they let Hierro go. Now they've signed Walter Samuel, that might solve that.

Cambiasso left.

Have to make a point in saying how great the new Football First option on Sky Sports is. Match of the Day was just as awful as it was when the Beeb last had it.

He left? When? :wtf: :$

And yeah MotD is still pretty shite when it comes down to it. At least they're laying on an additional Sunday program instead of just making people wait until the next Saturday lunchtime to see 30 seconds of the rest of the weekend's games.

Also, why did ITV have to put the Championship main program on so early on a Sunday morning? :mad: :rant:

1-4 to Arsenal against Everton.

Chelsea 1-0 up against Manchester Untied.

He signed a 4 year deal with Inter like a month ago.

LOL, Rob....

Owen at United? No fucking chance!

*shudders at the thought*

You wouldn't take Owen? Are you nuts?

he's piss poor

I wouldn't take Owen. Not over Ruud or Louis Saha. I would take Morientes over Owen any day.

Decent enough performance by United considering we barely had any players. Like Fergie said it will take until about October to see the real Man U when we have Ronaldo, Ruud, Saha and Rio back.

Oh yeah and Heinze will be back from the Olympics

I have to agree with Rob herre, Owen would be more then loved at United :y:

Woooo, on the plus side we won, on the bad side Eidur Gudfuckingjohnsen scored the goal :mad:, the fat shit didnt do anything else all match, yet again he was afraid to jump for anything, and one time when he lost it he ran to get it back, other then that he looked like the bloated dickhead he was last season.

On the plus side Alexei Smertin is the man :cool:, he is only the second player (Zola being the first Vs Everton April 2003) who the Chelsea fans have given a standing ovation to after doing something good on the park, cannot fault the guy, if he plays like that all season he will be great. How Terry got man of the match is beyond me, Smertin was the fucking man, my Man Of The Match by a mile. All I could hear from people around me was stuff like "Smertin is quality" and stuff.

Anyone see the Japan-Italy football game in the Olympics? It finished 2-3. Goals were quality, so was the match.

Yes Yes Yes, Robert Huth has been called up to the full germany squad because Nowotny is injured, :cool:

YEAH should be on for longer too.

Missed it on Sunday thankfully, damn Canadians and their long throws :mad:

Do you happen to know if all your injured forwards are back within 2 weeks? :shifty: :$

Ganea is out for months. Cort played a full 90 minutes the other day though so hopefully he'll be back :naughty:

Fair deal for Owen I reckon all talk of 10mil plus Morientes would have been absolutely stupid on Real's part considering they could wait around and get him for free.

Owen is pretty poor these days too as Mask puts so eloquently so yeah not bad - plus means Newcastle should beat Liverpool this season I reckon.

Smertin looks like good shit.

Reyes looks fantabulous.

God have mercy on the next team to play Arsenal.

And fuck off Hasselbaink :mad:

Guess who they're playing next ;)

that'd be us, come on boro!

im going for a 4 -1 victory, well thats what they beat us by just about every year so why should this one be any different, because we have someone who can put the ball in the back of the net thats why it'll be different.

real score 2 - 1 to the boro and jimmy f-h will get them both!

by the way i was in spain in a pub packed with gordies when jimmy 'Headed' the goal in the last minute, they were gutted and i loved every second of it!

I want Arsenal to win so they can go on to get that record unbeaten streak, take it off Forest :cool:

Can't see Boro getting anything, even if Southgate is back him and Ehiiogu have lost a yard of pace or so and they weren't exactly speedy to begin with...Henry and Reyes should tear them apart :o
