Keane will be a first choice striker at Celtic surely?

It's not unusual for boys from Eire to have 2 favourite teams, usually Celtic and an English team.

I think it's a good bit of business. Getting £3.5 million for McDonald was a great bit of business and Keane will help fill the stadium for the next few months. IF he helps overturn the 10 point gap and 'tic get direct entry to Champs league then it's more than paid for.... and although he's 3rd choice at Spurs I think you'd agree that he's superior to anything else Celtic have to offer just now.

Well now skippy has been punted the only person ahead of him is Samaras who would struggle to hit the rear end of a cow with a banjo.

Still I have my fingers crossed his debut tonight is the same as the last Keane to play for Celtic after being hailed a saviour when he signed.

I dunno I am quite worried. I mean with Celtics new 65k a week signing plus Monkeyheids new regime Celtic will easily win their game in hand against Kilmarnock and the gap will be down to 7 points.

Hold on a sec...

Kilmarnock won their first match in nine league outings with a fine performance against Celtic.

Ho ho ho.

great win for Palace last night. Never thought I was see the day when Butterfield got a hattrick

Well done Spurs in eliminating Leeds

I don't care who wins the cup as long as Leeds are no longer competing

From another site..

Being Nice Costs You Nothing...
January 20: Sol Campbell announces intention to sue Portsmouth for £1.7million apparently owed to him in 'image rights and bonus payments'.

February 4: David James waives his right to a year contract extension at Portsmouth, that would automatically be triggered should he play 25 games this season, saying: "Without being funny, I'm not the richest man in the world but if there is a financial burden that the club can't suffer, then why should I be taking the mickey?"

Way to go Fabio, replace a philanderer with a thug/drug cheat.

So being a role model was not the reason for change then.....

Rooney would have been a better choice, esp as he is in top form and behaving himself.

[Shadow Demon UK]

Making Rooney captain would have been one of the worst things he could have done. Why put extra pressure on someone that young in the form of his life? He already has a huge amount of expectation riding on his shoulders, he doesn't need anymore imo. Ferdinand was the best choice out of the players in the current squad.

I think the way Copello and FA have dealt with this whole affair has been a disgrace to football.

What Terry has done, has not only betrayed a friend, but also caused embarrasement for the English game, and it has been known that he has ******* more than one footballers wife.

He gets more money, than a normal guy can dream of, and he treats the fans like a piece of crap by doing this. NOT only should he have lost the captaincy, he should have lost his spot in the world cup squad, to teach him a lesson.

He is the ambassador for the game, and he does this, this might be his private life, but he should have kept todger in his trousers.

I can't wait for Bridge to play at the Bridge, and for him to go and smack Terry in the face in front of the camera's, that will teach the ******* a lesson. He has got off lightly only becasue the authorities are too damn soft. pampered kids.

[punky]

Forgot your medication again Arthur?

[Arthurgray50@blu]

Yes, its called Chelsea, l cannot stand them, bucnh of cheats especially Drogba, he should get an Oscar for Diving, and Terry for consistently badgering the ref, everytime the ref makes a decision against Chelsea the famous three Terry, Drogba and Cole badger the ref.

[punky]

OK.

So Terry is a disgrace and you want Bridge to walk over to Terry and punch him in the face in front of the worldwide cameras.

And that will reverse the "embarrasement" [sic] the english game has suffered with Terry?

And you're sure about that?

Sorry Punky! Gonna have to agree with him here. I suggest we punish Chelsea by forcing ANY member of their team who is known to have been cheating, speeding, diving, lying, or anything else I deem to be UNACCEPTABLE to be banned for exactly one game starting from now.
