"I agree with charlo23. hope Redknapp doens't waste money on Anton Ferdinard. I remember a few years back when West Ham had a good season he was rumoured to be learning Spanish because Barcelona were supposedly interested in him. ha ha, don't think so Anton."

"Hodgson for Liverpool"

ericho (Liverpool fan)

"PAPAROMEO YOU ARE RIGHT TO SOME EXTEND THAT HE DAMAGED THE TEAM, RB IS DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD MANAGER AS HE HAS NOT PROVED ANYTHING HERE APART A LUCKY WINNING AGAINST AC MILAN AND WESTHAM. APART FROM THIS HE DID NOTHING LAST YEAR WAS MAYBE HIS BEST SPELL...WHERE HE COULD HAVE SHOWN BETTER MANAGERIAL AND TACTICAL ABILITY - DRAWING AGAINST ARSENAL(WITH 10 MEN) AND HE DECIDED TO STILL PLAY WITH ONE STIKER..OR AGAINST OTHER TEAM SUCH AS HULL/WESTHAM/BOLTON FOR INSTANCE AT HOME...HE'S BECOMING MORE THAN A JOKE..JAMIE REDNAP STATEMENT IS TRUE...HE'S FOLLING THE FANS.. "

charlo23 (Tottenham Hotspur fan)

"please don't buy anton ferdinand harry. he's the most over rated defender in the league. plus he thinks of himself as a big time charlie and a move back to london would only increase his opinion of himself. "
