Ever tried running Audere est Facere through Google translate?

AVB also said that Sandro would be fine. At the end of the day, he's making a guess. Nobody will know the full extent of the injury until its scanned.

Not sure if its his vacant expression or his complete lack of footballing ability or that is a yank. But I actually hate Clint Dempsey.

Friedel, Parker, Gallas, Adebayor, Walker, Defoe, amd Dempsey should all be shipped off in the summer.

Massive overhaul needed.



One last thing.. Massive mistake loaning out Townsend. Could of really done with him tonight. Think he will be a smashing player for us.

Walker?? He was young player of the year last season!! Give the guy a fucking chance, he still pisses all over Naughton.

Poor performance tonight, will be a very difficult task to beat them next thursday. Let's all hope that Bale's injury won't be that bad.

I cannot fathom the rationale that we shouldn't be playing our best players in a european quarters... And his injury was nothing to do with fatigue or an injury that was worsen over time but he was being forced to push through it. Had be been rested and we went out and he'd been only played in the league and we finished 5th would have have been a better use of our resources?

Yes. We needed to give ourselves the best chance of making CL, our future depends on it much more than the EL at this juncture i.e. having AVB, all the publicity over Bale's form and what he's done to lift the profile of your club even higher around the world, new training ground etc, new stadium coming. All of these things have converged at a perfect moment for us to qualify for CL and bring in a couple of stonking players to properly bring us into the big time. And, of course, keep bale.

That is where our focus should have been. We. Have. Not. Got. The. Resources. To. Do. both.

Look, we disagree and you're boring me, so let's just agree to disagree.

Ta, did they give an official figure? First home game I haven't been to in yonks. Some Hammers prick is saying on fb there were loads of empty seats. I didn't notice myself.
32,136 from the Beeb but that's normal for a European game because of the ridiculous UEFA banners etc. All seats were taken as far as I could see.

IMO Basel was the best team that I've seen at WHL this season

Sunday will be interesting - another white knuckle ride I suspect :nailbiting:

He injured the (same) right ankle in 2007 and was out for the season. Think he had an operation iirc.

Absolute nightmare. Not the result, the injuries.

Basel were very impressive, so 2-2 was a good result.
