Probably not and even if it does it won't be a long discussion ;) If he was Brazilian he might have made a half-decent goalkeeper

Reason I can't stand Heskey is he scored a wonderful 'perfect' hat-trick against Derby for iirc Liverpool. Right, left and a rare headed goal :o:mad:

England seem keen on them. Italy, Brazil, Germany, Spain, France and Argentina seem not to favour them. It's hard to see who's right. :rolleyes:

In 1998, France's world cup winning team famously had a non scoring striker in Stéphane Guivarc'h - No goals in 5 games during the tournament and only 1 from 14 games in total for France. Following his prolific World Cup Newcastle Utd snapped him up. He subsequently topped a poll of the 50 worst strikers ever to play in the Premier League.

Wonder if Chris Hughton has made the call for Heskey yet.

Any Burnley fans on here making the trip up to Morecambe next Tuesday? Been away on my hols so this will be my first match at the new Globe Arena

Half Time

Arsenal 3 Braga 0

That third goal was sublime

Full Time

Arsenal 6 Braga 0 !


I am off to the City of Manchester Stadium tomorrow, not to watch City as they are in Salzburg, just a boring business presentation.

Don't spoil our fun TH. It's not like we can criticise what Man U have done on the pitch over the past 10 years.

And you're right, we should move on. Most of Man Utd's fans are now in the far east. ;)
