Know you've stopped shouting it might actually be possible to enter into debate with you. Firstly, it just ain't true to suggest that Gerrard won the PFA award off the back of his performances in centre mid. He played at right mid sa often as anywhere else last year, throughout the year. And yes, Zenden is no replacement for Momo but if the alternative is having Pennant on the right then you need to think about what is better for the team as a whole. At the moment, I'd pick pretty much anyone ahead of Pennant. He has been woeful. You say 'Zenden isn't a better CM than Gerrard full stop... so you play Gerrard in the middle' but the same could be said when comparing Gerrard and Pennant as right midfielders. Until we can clone Gerrard we will have to make do with lesser players.

f*** OFF WITH THE CAPITALS. WE ARE NOT f***ING DEATH. I'll answer the question for Andy. Yes of course Gerrard is better than Zenden in the middle but if playing him there means we have to play Pennant on the right then there is an argument that Zenden should play. It is about balance. Gerrard is also probbaly our best right back but until we can f***ing clone him we have to shuffle the pack accordingly. It is hardly rocket science. All of that without even mentioning that he scored 23 goals and won PFA Player of the Year playing most of last season at....right midfield. Yes, you are right, what on earth was Rafa thinking.

Won't come. Says he doesn't like The Beatles. (That was him, wasn't it?)

Ah - that would explain it! Thought it was an odd post, especially as I couldn't recall Garcia missing a sitter in that tie anyway! Stand by the rest of my post though!

If my aunt had balls etc... Fact was his contribution in that game was, in the end, vital so nothing else really matters. I understand the cries of exasperation when he gives the ball away in a dangerous situation but he never, ever hides, has scored some crucial goals and is well in credit in my book. Think he has been a fantastic buy for us to be honest and I can't for the life of me understand why some people persist in convincing themselves that the bad outweighs the good.

It isn't being a hypocrite if you admit that you were wrong as well - which in a round about way you have kind of done by referring to 'singing songs that I shouldn't'. I don't have a problem with your position on this really as I understand why people snapped the other week, but as I've said (many times) in this thread, they would argue that their Hillsborough/Heysel songs were in some ways a 'snap' after years of Munich taunts - which I suppose just means the cycle goes on and more and more people get drawn back in. My issue is more with those who actually find the stuff funny (and there are plenty, sadly), or go to a match with a premeditated desire to sing s**** like that, or chuck terms like 'the Munichs'/'Murderers' around on a casual basis. That is the kind of attitude that worries me more and that could lead to a dangerous escalation. Instead of joining in and waiting to see where it all leads, perhaps it is better that we try and stamp it out now.

It isn't about it being his 'fault' for getting injured. Of course it isn't his 'fault' and if anyone thinks that it is, or that he is faking, then they are a f***wit. Having said that though, it is entirely fair enough that people take into account his track record of injuries when considering what he can potentially offer us in the future. I've seen nothing for over 2 years now that suggests Kewell will stay fit long enough to truly become a fixture in the side over the course of the season - and surely that is what we want, a quality player who is fit to call upon whenever we need him as opposed to just when his body allows. I don't think he is that anymore and will need a lot of convincing otherwise. Shame, he has talent, but I think he is in Rob Jones/Jamie Redknapp territory now in terms of being unable to ever again sustain a contribution over a season.

I miss Didi.
