It's worst signings though. Sunderland signed him and he's been awful for them.

Yeah but he cost nowhere near as much as Samba...just in wages alone...and well...Sunderland innit...


£16m for Javi Garcia. Has he even broke the 20 appearance milestone yet?

At least he's scored. Although he has been pretty invisible at the club.

This nation should not be taken to be representative of my real-life views, nor should any of the nonsense I posted on here as a teenager.

Jaaskelainen could be in the discussion too. Although I think he was just a free signing, not a transfer.

Graham has been an abysmal signing for us, and his record is made worse by the fact that he plays as the lone striker in a 4-5-1. I can see Wickham or even Mandron starting against Tottenham now that we're safe, though.

Lol.
Anyway watching Europa League Final,I hate Chelsea fans even more than humanly possible now because they are signing the Arsenal chants but putting Chelsea in instead of Arsenal.
I'd say Lee Dixon must be going mental.

I can't hear Chelsea fans at all. Just Benfica. I was starting to think they were cardboard cutouts.

Maybe you actually mean signing and they're doing all their chants in sign language.

I'd associate mostly with Bolton, cos I'm a Bolton fan. Doesn't mean it's our song ;)
