Joe Cole's Box of Tricks

I really don't know what to make of this. Especially when we're 'making do' in deeper midfield areas. I certainly don't see a £30m player in Willian, I just hope he lives up to it in time.

From what I'm seeing, Willian would be a fairly unpopular move. I'd prefer to stick with what we've got, and if we strengthen, then it has to be in the right areas. Not to mention that paying Eden Hazard money for Willian would be batsh*t mental. I sincerely hope this doesn't happen.

Thanks and good luck against Cardiff. That was some semi final against Forest! If it's the Pride of London flag you're talking about, then I think it was the CFCuk fanzine people who organised it so you might want to speak to someone there - http://www.cfcuk.net

I don't think Manchester United are any way near the force of 2007/8, but they're still picking up enough points which could be a danger if/when they start to click. It's crucial for us to win today to put some distance between us and them. In terms of their attack, I'd rather face Owen and Rooney than Berbatov. As for Arsenal, they've only been doing well because the spotlight is off them. Now that it's back on them, they'll crumble as usual and Gallas will burst into tears mid game again.

I put up a post on another forum at the start of the season with all the pundits picks for the Premier League, which has now probably been lost with some of the changes over there. I can't actually recall what Andy Gray said, but I found this prediction of his from the 13th August. He's kind of backed us, but mentioned Manchester United at the same time...

I was coming on here to say much the same thing, we can really get at them through our left side, plus their right side is defensively weak. I suspect that it will be Ashley Cole and Malouda as they have developed a decent understanding, but purely from an arriving on a big stage point of view, I would love to see Zhirkov destroy Johnson just like Gronkjaer [alan pardewism] absolutely raped [/alan pardewism] Gary Neville all those years ago.

We're doing alright for potential future managers - Zola & Clarke, Di Matteo and Super Dan have all really showed promise.

JayceeBot is fine with me, I'm off to get an avatar to look all membery.

I was in WHSmiths at Victoria and I was about to buy a magazine for 3 quid when the man behind the counter said if I took an Evening Standard with it then I'd only have to pay £2.50 altogether. Even then I had to think about it. :lol: Nice to see they use quotes from the forums, the Daily Mail do so too but they like to call them 'death threats'.

I've been a member for a few weeks now, but I haven't really got round to posting yet. If you know the name, then it's probably from the forums at CFC NET or 606. Anyways, howdy.
