• The Houseboat

  • The Shopping List—aka We've got flipping great wadges of cash

I mean total football sounds great in theory, versatility everyone working hard and threats from everywhere.
But in practice it doesn't work out like that, since we supposedly can't afford great all round players we're stuck with a bunch of mediocre- jack of all trades master of none- tippy tappy pass monkeys.

Indeed, even the goalie wanted to show off his out-field skills last week. Has to be the only reasonable explanation for his 40 yard dash

😆 Total football mate, we don't play with a goalie.

Just Neymar would do for me.

Wenger was obviously there today in the best seat in the house, he's been watching him train for days close-up, I do wonder whether he'll be able to sit idly by while Chelsea or one of the other big boys snap him up? It would be a travesty if he ends up up at City or Chelsea. If he goes for £30M-ish or less, we have got to get involved. Players like Neymar don't come around very often, and once he makes his next move he will forever be out of our reach - even if we decided to push the boat out we still wouldn't have a chance.

£30M for a player as good as him is very reasonable, a bargain even, by today's standards.

21 minutes of dreaming Asa, that's all you gave me!

That right side should have become Arsenal players shouldn't they? Both fell through stupidly last minute. Trabelsi even made it into one of our Pro Evo teams!

LOL Asa People like you and I should be banned from this thread.

The earthlings make a wish when they see a shooting star Biggus 🙂

I wish for Subotic because I think Vermaelen may not return to full and reliable fitness.
After that, just Benzema, now that he's regained form.

That's what I meant 🙂

Anyway aren't shooting stars actually comets which are meant to portent calamity?

Well this is the wish list, and if you're going to wish for someone it may as well be the brazillian wonder kid rather than Darren Bent.

I don't think they are comets, I think they are particles of dust and rock that burn up when they enter the earth's atmosphere?

Meteoroids - according to Wiki.

Particles of dust that burn up as soon as they come into contact with large hard objects.
Yep that sounds like our lot all right......
