Off Season Puntsphere Rumours.

Yeah, he's been playing badly. That doesn't make him a bad player.

As I say, Liverpool have treated him badly the past year or more and his form has suffered as a consequence. To come back as the most prolific striker in Europe at the (second) highest level and then to see Neil Mellor, ffs, picked in front of you must be fairly disheartening.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

By the way anyone know whats gonna happen to that shyte winger Antonio Nunez, He was valued at 3Million and part of the Owen sale but has rarley started and the games he did play he made little to no impact.

If he's that shite, no doubt Newcastle will buy him on movie star wages :unsure:

Baros to Villa for around £6million, according to most websites and papers.

That would be a good move for him, O'Leary is a good manager who will know how to use him properly.

I went to the Celtic v Leeds "friendly" today.

Sorry, but I didn't think much of the Leeds support. They were pish, several thrown out for loutish behaviour and the majority singing songs aimed to provoke trouble.

I have been to many a friendly game and they were all just that, friendly. Whether involving teams from Engerland, Europe or elsewhere. However this was not the same. There even had to be a considerable Police / Steward presence around their section of Paradise, which is not usually the case. More a token presence in normal circs.

Ironically the two lads sitting beside us were Leeds fans, over from Dublin. A couple of great spuds who I chatted to throughout the match. Much shaking of hands and "safe journey home" at the end of the game.

If this was a pre-season friendly, where we played loads of laddies coz there's a game during the week, I wouldn't want to see them when it mattered.

Oh and Fernandez was on the bench and warmed up but didn't play.

My opinion of him has increased over the last few days, he setup a great goal for FM and scored two himself against Olympikos. Although he still runs with his head down at the ball and has ittle to no awareness of where anyone is.

They got their arses kicked down at Cardiff last season, if that's any consolation. The louts, I mean - I think the teams drew 0-0. According to my friends who went along, there was a big interweb build up about what they were going to do to the Cardiff lot but it culminated in a brief skirmish and them having a police escort all the way to the station.

Which louts consider quite embarrassing, apparently.

I've never been to a match involving Leeds but you'll be aware of the rivalry between their fans and United's. It was such a shame when they got relegated so that the banter couldn't continue :ermm:
