I guess that heroic performance against Arsenal last season when he had the uttere kicked out of him but carried on playing until they knocked him out is irrelevant.
Personally, from my point of view - I'd take Scotty any day. However, I don't make the decisions.
I always used to mock Loz that he destroyed Charlton by leaving them and now he's leaving us.
Viduka always has been a mercenary and always will be; I think Boro fans accept that. I don't think anyone is too happy that he's moving to the barcodes, though.
Beware, although he can be awesome, this usually only happens when he wants to play, i.e. when he wants a new contract or when he wants to play in the World Cup. Since Newcastle will give him an 8 year contract on £120,000 a week, I can't see him being all that bothered about anything other than eating pies.
I definitely want Brooklyn to be christened, but I don't know into what religion yet.

NOT BAD!
i recon we will lose against tottenham though! but im very happie with the rest!
So Henry appears to be leaving. Bit of a bugger really but ah well. We've gotten use to not having him for a fair amount of last season anyway. We'll survive. Though the fact the reported fee is less than that of Darren Bent is either funny or tragic, and I'm not sure which yet.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Not really, considering as how Darren Bent is much younger than Thierry Henry is, and doesn't whine every five minutes.
Sounds more like the usual absurd over-pricing for English players =P

Hm, looks like Sven is set to take over Man City after all. I was naturally skeptical at first, but he's got a class record at club level so it'd be interesting to see how he goes at least. Not going to be winning the FA Cup any time soon though.
This is only a huge mistake if Wenger refuses to spend the money on bringing in established talent. Our youngsters aren't ready to take over from the old guard quite yet, and this money needs to be spent in a way that will ease the transition, or else I think we'll struggle to compete this year. I'd say he's probably worth more than £16m, too, but I guess that being a striker whose pace is one of his main assets, his age works against us.
On the subject of Sven, I think he'll be a good appointment for Man City. Just because he wasn't the right man to win silverware for England doesn't mean he's not the right man to turn a club like city around. Without the dimension of ridiculous expectations and a hostile media, and with the chance to bring in his own players, he ought to do well.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
You won't beat Portsmouth. As much as I hate say it, I doubt you'll beat City either, good luck with that thoughOriginally Posted by Garnie

I think Wenger would be an asshole to spend the money, seeing as he's leaving at the end of next season. He might as well go now, to be honest.
Either that or he should invest the money on Darren Bent. Young, English, decent enough for Arsenal, and would be a real morale boost for Arsenal fans to see their club snatch a Spurs and West Ham target from under their noses.
....and massively over-priced and over-rated.
And why should Wenger leave now exactly?
