Who?NQ reminding me why he's on my ignore list...
Was reference to Jamie Redknapp and his comments on Chelsea bulldozing their way to the title last season from 13 points behind.....which they quite literally didn't.
If we can get some direct rough and tumble into our game, we could be the new and improved bulldozer.
It really doesn't matter.
And I've wasted precious time explaining this, when I could have been reading something equally tedious, such as a letters du jour thread, or one of coney's puns.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Ah. Now I understand. He's another one on my ignore list. Literally.
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...025155,00.htmlSky Sports sources understand that Arsenal have yet to receive a formal offer for Samir Nasri following an enquiry from Manchester United.
Reports had suggested that the Gunners had rejected an offer in the region of £20million from the Premier League champions.
It was also claimed that Arsenal might be prepared to sell the Frenchman, who has just one year remaining on his current contract, for around £25m.
However, it is believed that no club has yet attempted to test their resolve by tabling an official proposal.
United are thought to have made contact to ask about the 24-year-old's availability, while it emerged earlier this week that Chelsea had also entered the chase.
Manchester City have been linked as well with a player who has been at the Emirates Stadium since 2008 but has yet to win a major trophy.
This lack of silverware has fuelled intense speculation about the future of Nasri, who has ambitions to be more successful.
Arsene Wenger has previously stressed his determination to keep the midfielder, saying that Nasri has come a long way with the Gunners and can continue to progress without going elsewhere.

Manchester City are in talks to sign Sergio Aguero but want to sort out Carlos Tevez's future before capturing his fellow Argentine.
City have no plans to pair up Aguero and Tevez but have already began putting moves in place for life after their captain, who announced on Monday that he wants to leave City this summer.
They have identified Aguero, who scored 20 league goals and 27 in all competitions last season, as a high-calibre attacker who can either lead the front line or play in one of the three attacking positions behind the main striker.
Atletico Madrid are quoting suitors £40 million for their prize asset, who has also attracted interest from Juventus and Real Madrid, but City are confident they can land the 23-year-old for £35m.
Aguero is currently representing Argentina at the Copa America and has said he will not make a firm decision on his future until the tournament finishes later this month
“City are keen to sign him but a deal is still a long way from being done,” a source told Goal.com.
“It depends on what happens to Tevez. City want to sell Tevez or be confident they have a buyer in place before signing Aguero.”
Real Madrid and Chelsea lead the race for Tevez, who has said he wants to leave City to be closer to his two young daughters, who live in Argentina.
City are adamant that they will not let Tevez leave for less than £50m, although they are believed to be willing to consider quality players as part of a swap deal.
Probs shite from goal.com but £35 Million for Aguero is a steal tbh and he is worth more then tevez anyway
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...025296,00.htmlSkysports.com understands a number of clubs are monitoring Micah Richards' contract situation at Manchester City.
Manchester City have opened talks with Richards about a contract extension with the England international having two years to run on his present deal.
The 23-year-old, who is thought to be on £50,000 a week, is believed to be among the lowest earners in City's star-studded squad.
Richards was Roberto Mancini's first-choice right-back last season and he played a key role in helping City win the FA Cup and claim a place in the UEFA Champions League by finishing third in the Premier League.
Talks are ongoing between both parties, but a deal is believed to be some way off, alerting a number of Richards' suitors.
Premier League trio Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are long-term admirers of Richards and they are all thought to be keeping tabs on developments.
All three clubs are in the market for defensive reinforcements and they could move for Richards if they are given any encouragement that he may not agree a new deal at Eastlands.
Italian giants Juventus are also thought to be interested in Richards and are weighing up a move for him should a new deal not materialise.
Richards is understood to be keen to stay at City, but if he is unable to agree a new deal he may be forced to consider his options.

Id have him and Dzeko for Nasri tbh
Really? Dzeko has been shite in the PL so far and Richards is an ok right-back, but Sagna is better. He doesn't play at centre-back anymore, so is not a better option than our current players or the ones we're after in that position either.
Dzekos shit but I wouldn't mind Richards here. Better than anyone we have at CB and can play right back as well
Frankly, I don't think it matters where we play Richards as he'd be in the team for one reason and one reason only, to use his pace and power to open a few corridors, hell we might as well play him on the wing.
Barca are just embarrassing themselvesArsenal want £15m rated Valencia winger Juan Mata - but to play alongside Samir Nasri rather than to replace him.
