can't see how Kaka wasn't tempted by playing with Bellamy

Wonder if City will go after any other big name signings. Surely somewhere along the line they must be able to work out they are leaking goals and need a defender.

I've never heard Fergie or Wenger call the Carling Cup a "crap cup". They have both stated they use this as a proving ground for the younger players \ fringe players but I don't think they have been that insulting to it, they would have been fined if they came out with something like that.

Clearly Robinho can't hide his excitment at the prospect...

yeah doesn't surprise me. I read he just signed the contract his agent put in front of him with no idea what club he was signing for. He has since sacked his agent

If the away goals rule counted at 90 minutes rather than after extra time it would have been. Burnley just didn't have the legs to see it out.

Being a Spurs fan, l want to say well played to Burnley, they performed to such a standard, that would fit a Premier League ground and they should have WON, we were terrible, you don't give away three goals, in such an important cup tie.

I had a terrible feeling towards the final two minutes of Xtime, that l acually went into a room, and convered my ears, we were a disgrace to the white shirt, and why the hell, Harry played Alnwick instead of Ceasar, l don't know.

Harry, has already said, which l think is pathetic, we will field a weakened side against Man Utd,, is poor, so wake up Tottenham you are a disgrace, and good luck to Burnley in the Championship, l am so angry with Tottenham they were poor.

I have come across dialogue between Man City and AC Milan superstar Kaka. Unfortunately I only have the script from the City end but I think it is clear for all as to the total content:

"Hello, is that Kaka? How do you fancy becoming the supply line to Craig Bellamy and Darius Vassell this winter?

"No, your fellow countryman doesn’t like the cold and will be out until mid April - but you will play alongside Stephen Ireland"

"No, Kaka, Ireland is a person not a country"

"yes, I fully appreciate that he is not Ronaldinho, Pirlo or even Beckham but many fans have him in their fantasy football"

"I know you are currently the richest man in Italy but we can double it!"

"erm, well, we have had a bit of a slide recently and we are currently 15th"

"erm, out of 20...... but Mark Hughes once won the double for our neighbours"

"Hughes"

"Ex Blackburn boss"

"Blackburn, Blackburn Rovers"

"No, Blackburn......Black.....Burn"

"HUGHES man, HUGHES!!!"

"He once scored a good goal against Spain"

"No, thats Gerry Armstrong..... anyway, are you coming or not?"

"Usually about two thirds full but if we play a big team its really rocks"

"yes I know, but we dont even have a car park cos all the fans walk to the ground they are so local"

"Relevance? well, I suppose its all they have to brag about whether its true or not"

"Only the one to be fair but its called 'blue moon' you will love it"

"Blue"

"yes, definitely blue, always has been"

"No, no, no, they are in Trafford"

"yes they are, steeped in it in fact but what good is history to you my ambitious friend?"

"erm, 1976 I think"

"it was the er, the er League cup if memory serves me right"

"Well, the plan was to get in the top 4 this season and then....."

"yes, I realise that but....."

"Aston Villa? Whats it got to do with them?"

"Yes, I know but we have been down this history route already"

"How the heck does a Brazilian playing in Italy know about Nottingham Forest?"

"Yes, yes, and Leeds United also made a final but you are missing my point, this is all about the future"

"Give me strength......HUGHES!!!!"

"yes I know he did and he was a legend there but he is a changed man"

"forget them, they are falling apart"

"But all those trophies were won last year! They have won nothing in 2009"

"I have told you.... 1976!!!!"

"How the heck does a Brazilian playing in Italy know that Virginia Wade has won Wimbledon since then?"

"Yes she probably is in her 60's"

"I dont know, probably about 10 league titles, 2 european cups and countless domestic cups what has that got to do with it?"

"76,000 why?"

"yes, every game, even minor cups I suppose, but where is this getting us?"

"Yes, the league cup is considered a minor cup over here why?"

"I know, I know, I know, ok perhaps they won the FA Cup in 1970 or something does it really matter?"

"look, Kaka, we will treble whatever you are on now, buy you a mansion in Alderley Edge and give you a helicopter for your front lawn....are you joining us?"

"NO!, its owned by the council - what has the ground got to do with anything"

"well, officially its the city of manchester stadium but most people call it Eastlands"

"EAST!, not Waste"

"You will be adored there"

"No, not there, here I meant"

"No, thats Old Trafford, I meant adored here at Waste....erm, Eastlands"

"Anderson??? what does he know?"

"Ok I hear what you say, but other than Pride, Ambition, Achievement, History, Passion and a large car park - what can they offer you?"

"what do you mean no credit left in your phone.....I phoned you"

"Hello, Mr Kaka... Mr Kaka are you there?..."

"yes I know, but we dont even have a car park cos all the fans walk to the ground they are so local"

"How the heck does a Brazilian playing in Italy know that Virginia Wade has won Wimbledon since then?"

I like those two parts the best

Ossum performance from the Swans today, we played like a premiership side, I honestly think we've got what it takes to get there next season and stay there as well.

"Usually about two thirds full but if we play a big team its really rocks"

A bit optimistic there, I think

West Ham v Middlesbrough

Sunderland or Blackburn v Coventry

Derby or Nottm Forest v Man Utd

Swansea v Fulham

Liverpool or Everton v Doncaster or Aston Villa

Cardiff or Arsenal v West Brom or Burnley

Shame Swansea didn't get United

Arthurgray50@blu · 25-01-2009, 22:20

According to Sky sources; Spurs are to re-sign Pascal Chimbonda from Sunderland, my god what are Spurs doing, all they need to do is re-sign Robbie Keane from Liverpool, who walked out this afternoon, and we have the hat trick, with Defoe as well, l am a yido, but l think Harry needs his head examined.

Turkey Machine · 25-01-2009, 23:18

Oh wonderful! Now all I gotta do is hope Forest pull it off in the replay!

Although it's not a biggy if Derby win it, cos Pride Park isn't far from the train station, I think.

punky · 25-01-2009, 23:56

Argh... I want my Tottenham back.
