It is just before the next United v cITEH derby
Ronaldo goes into the United changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum. "What's up?" he asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only cITEH. They're crap and we can't be bothered". Ronnie looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub." So Ronaldo goes out to play cITEH by himself and the rest of the team go off for a few pints. After a few jars they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads United 1 ( Ronaldo 10 mins ) cITEH 0 He is beating cITEH all by himself! Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers. "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on. "Result from Old Trafford " United 1 ( Ronaldo 10 mins ) cITEH 1 ( Bertie Magoo 89 mins ) They can't believe it; he has single handedly got a draw against cITEH They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down." "Don't be daft, you got a draw against cITEH, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end! "No, No, I have, I've let you down... I got sent off after 12 minutes " |

Question for Dazz
Is Didier Drogba really that good? I saw him score some good goals in the Uefa cup for Marseille but is he really worth £24m?

Drogba looks quality, but I think its another case of Chelsea buying the flavour of the month

Yes, he is the man, and is the only signing in the summer that I am really pleased about Kezman is good but hasn't proved himself in Europe, I think Drogba showed last year in Europe that he is the man. If it wasn't for the fact that no players Chelsea future is certain for more then a season I would get Drogba on the back of my Chelsea shirt.
Drogba is the fucking man, I hope he is our first choice attacker next year. And tubby tubby lala (The nickname given to Gudjohnsen by the bloke behind me at the Bridge) is fourth choice. |

I thought Mutu was really good, but he missed a few good chances then couldn't get into the first team

Kezman had a better record at PSV than van Nistelrooy i think, him and Drogba should be a good partnership.
I think they've paid over the odds for Drogba, bearing in mind he's just had one good season and there's a lot of reports that he was being offered to English clubs for £4 million or something like that less than a year ago. That said, having seen him last season he is a player i'm looking forward to seeing this year. |

Thought so. Just find it hard to believe that he's moving for around £10 million more than the leading scorer in the French league last year, Djibrel(sp?) Cisse.Then there's the fact that his price has gone up £20 million in the space of 1 year so i think Chelsea have been a bit hard done by, their original offer seemed good enough.
With Abrahmovich i guess it doesn't matter so much, then there's this Tiago deal which just seems pointless.I've heard Benfica want £10 million but read last week that Chelsea would buy him for 6 and then review his contribution after a year, if good then they'll keep him and pay an extra £2.5 million but if he's not needed then he'll go back to Benfica for £2 million ![]() |

When you spend £30million on two players and loan them to big Italian clubs, it shows you the people in charge are useless tossers.

I was watching Sky Sports earlier, and some French "expert" was saying that Drogba could work really well with an out and out striker (such as Kezman)
I think if those 2 click, Chelsea could do something special next season, although I am still really skeptical about Mourinho |

I know that, Boro were very close to signing him, and I think Forlan made the wrong choice.

Jaap Stam admitted he was tapped in his autobiography, poaching is the wrong word to use, but you sure as hell tap people. Forlan was probably tapped, but thats not been proven, Bellion was certainly tapped. Another thing United do is make it public that you like a player and deliberatly try to unsettle them, like Smith, Saha, Ferdinand and there are probably more.
The Nistelrooy situation was handled disastrously by you too, inviting him to train with you for six months or whatever it was. |

Yeah we did great deals with Smith and Ferdinand. If they never went to Man U, it would have cost any other team at least £6 million less to sign them. Clubs love it when Man U come in for players because they always are priced over the top.

you got Smith for £7million, bollocks would another club have got him for anything like £1million. You must have a short term memory if you have forgotten that other teams offered much more for Smith then United.

What teams where these then? I don't recall any team other than Everton even making a bid this year and there's wasn't straight up cash hence why he went to Man U.

Some rumour that Rivaldo has gone to Athens in Greece to talk to a few clubs.
Don't know if this is true or not, I just read it somewhere before. ![]() |

I think Rivaldo will still be good for a season or 2. What's the deal with Palace signing Hungarians? we are been linked with a third Hungarin called Zoltan Gera like WTF? It's a good thing I trust Iain Dowie's judgement. I hope we sign Marlon Harewood from West Ham.

So Newcastle have signed Patrick Kluivert on a three year deal. I wonder how much he's getting paid and if he can cut it in the premiership?

Tiago has signed for Chelsea.
Bolton have increased their bid for Camara by £200k and been told to fuck off, to put it bluntly. I'm just sick of it now, to be honest we might as well take whatever we can get for the twat and be done with it. He's a major reason we were relegated (shite defending being the first, but him being unable to hit a cow's arse with a banjo for the first 30 odd games of the season cost us a good few points) and he doesn't want to stay around and help fix what he's responsible for, so fuck him. |
