Wales could call up the first "British" player to the national team. Andy Dorman was born in England, but was brought up in Wales, and now plays his football in Scotland at St Mirren :lol: There's some new FIFA rule that says if you're educated in a country for 5 years or more you can play for that country.

I've been following Dorman for a while now, and actually wanted Cardiff to sign him during the summer. He'd be a very good championship player.

 

He's always wanted to play for Wales but has never been allowed to, but thankfully he might get his chance now. Although I'd rather see Ramsey/Collison/Ledley play ahead of him, he'd be handy to have in the squad.

Wouldn't surprise me if he goes. Is he really needed at Man City? Before his injury Bellamy was keeping him out of the team and they have Santa Cruz back from injury now as well as Benjani when he returns. 5 quality strikers without Robinho.

 

It does seem stupid though for him to leave a year after arriving.

yeah i hope he goes, for half the price that city paid for him lol

Nah, Barca have proven they are clearly idiots transfer money wise for what they paid for Ibrahimovic :rotfl: 40million euros AND Eto'o so that's pretty much £40million plus Eto'o who I'd say is probably worth about £35million? If not more.

I'd have Robinho ahead of Benjani, personally.

 

The problem's in January when Adebayor (and possibly Benjani) have the African Cup of Nations.

I'd have Robinho ahead of Benjani, but Bellamy ahead of Robinho :shifty:

 

And good point about the African Cup of Nations.

 

Edit: I forgot to mention how Argentina with Jonas Gutierrez playing 90 minutes managed to scrape through to the World Cup last night. I dunno there's something about a Newcastle player playing as a first choice starter for Argentina alongside Lionel Messi that seems weird :lol:

Shit result today how Forest won I have no idea. Oh wait, I do... why oh why would ANY referee give a player a yellow card in the 2nd minute of the match? Yeah that's what the ref did and to Alan Smith so that screwed us over first half. Second half we absolutely murdered Forest and Nolan scored what was imo a perfectly good goal. He was in line with the last man, but his left arm was ahead of play... last time I checked you couldn't score a goal with your arm...

 

Blame game aside, we really should have won the game anyway. I fear for Newcastle now... I thought today was a must-win game. Damn you Lee you better not be right again :P

Wooo I'm back to #1 for now.

 

I'm technically 2nd atm Dunne's going to get me 11 points for auto-subbing Bellamy so really I'm on 412 :shifty: But don't forget about tomorrow's game - points to be had there too ;-)

 

And Sunderland deserved to beat Liverpool even without the beach ball :lol:
