So ... benni McCarthy out, james Beattie in?

We've all heard the stories about him getting sh*t-faced, but I thought it subsequently came out that it's something to do with his skeleton that means he keeps getting injured? Haviong said that, I do remember him being quite portly, but he looked in awesome shape earlier this season. as least he's not injured as often as that Grella fella.

Was always a big fan of Short. I've long since forgiven him for turning us down in favour of Derby.

Young man, now listen to meee young man. I don't pay you to read this messageboard, I pay you to go and make me a cup of tea. Saw the Damned United last night, great film. Billy Bremner, what a marmalade ######. Hate him, and I hate Leeds. Probably my favourite football photo ever:

Films about ghosties and ghoulies have never done it for me. If I don't find what I'm watching believable then I struggle to get into it. Same with sci fi films, used to really like some of them (still like the first star wars), but now, I couldn't sit through hardly any of them.

Sorry! It is a cracker though.

Bloody hell, Emmerdale Farm's moved on a bit since the days of Amos Brearley. Probably best not to ejamacate yourself through soaps and movies. I don't think any drug is totally harmless, it's up to the inidividual to evaluate the risk. The only drug I've ever taken is alcohol. Of course some people make the mistake of thinking I actually am on drugs due to my wacky behaviour. I choose reality because I can't handle hard drugs :-).

You have to watch OHMSS at Christmas, it's required viewing. Have just watched Gran Torino. Wow, what a film. Men will come and go but Clint Eastwood lives forever.

Is that really true? It's not my genre. I'm just off to pop a cap in Obama's ass. I want to be entertained, I want imagination, excitement, something new. So much money invested and so little to show for it

Real imaginative stuff. Ooooh, we're all doomed. Why is it so many films these days leave me cold? Now if it'd been called 2010 it might've got people's attention, but 2012 is bloody years away! Gran Torino arrived from love Film today, will watch it later, looking forward to a bit of the ol' Big Clint.

No point selecting him as first choice, most of the time he's unavailable anyway. Swear to God, never known a player to be so injured.

Perhaps N'zonzi could do Dunn's work for him? But I would agree that Dunn's current role seems the only viable one for him, which is bad news for benni. The ideal would be to incorporate both, because Benni knows how to finish.

Compromising photos?

just watching Die Hard 4 on C4 now. It's classic. "Did you just see that?" "I saw it. i did it."

ouch

Apparently we want 3.5 mill for Benni, somehow I can't see that happening. I get this awful feeling that with the manager not rating Roberts, he's selling Benni to fund a new bid for Davies.

Just so long as we don't waste our time getting new midfielders in!

Great, so Benni doesn't create the sort of chances that Roberts makes and then fluffs for himself? Can't see the difference myself. But Benni *does* stick the ball away when he has the chance. I don't think you could actually call Roberts a striker really. He's like a nightclub bouncer in a football kit.

Just seen Taken, totally effing brilliant. If you like proper action movies with no choppy editing nonsense, no silly CGI stunts, a physical leading man, then i totally recommend it. It's balls to the wall.

Another nail in Allardyce's coffin if he does this.

Never watched one - it would annoy me no end and would probably make me feel queasy.

Die Hard 4 is a top movie. There's no earthly way they could top that. It's stupid, but it's good stuupid. I really do like that ruck in the car park with the martial arts bitch. Classic stuff. John McLane, one of the all-time great movie characters. Welcome to the party pal! Number 1 was the best.

Number 3 I didn't like so much, number 2 was solid. It's got the T-1000 geezer in it, it's gotta be cool. "Hey arsehole, what do I look like to you?" "A sitting duck." Hey, Gunnery Sergeant Floppy-Knobby, tell us about fuse delays on grenades again, it's enthralling!
