true. better taking a chance on them +2 at around 10/11 I think I saw it in Easties yesterday.

Antrim @ 8/13 in a LMCC match, just doesnt sound right! 

Maybe better again with Paddy Power is Antrim (-4) at 13/8, i wouldnt be going silly with it though ! Same team for Saturday, quite a few boys need to up their performance from last week.

I thought United fans wanted an out and out striker when last season finished, Tevez and Rooney are very similar as far as i can see.

Lads you will probably get more discussion on this on "Antrim Hurling" thread, most of them are creatures of habit and seem to stay on that thread

I think we will beat Laois, purely because we have home advantage. I dont see how we can get caught up in the idea that we will stuff Laois on Saturday, there has never been much between the 2 teams. I am not sure what  form Eastwoods are using to make up their odds but Antrim at 8/13 is a bit mean.

Tony, i notice your avatar is similar to the big guy from the Goonies "hey you guys"........

Pig Shit Northern Ireland indeed.......

Ah well thanks for sharing with us then

He certainly is well named then.....he prob missed his ma's cooking.....Winker "CJ" watson

CJ didnt have problems with his visa, he had problems with not getting a bedtime story read to him every night by his oul girl.

Cant access the link, anyone sum up for me?

Fullback.......At atletico he played quite a lot on upfront on his own so you are not going to get "poacher" statistics,at Liverpool he will probably benefit from a strike partner. His stats are comparable with anyone at such a young age i would think. I am not sure where the sudden uncertainty has come from about him, this time last year every top club in the world was apparentley after him, including United, maybe he needed a change of scenery.

Not even at 1/3 of the cost?

What use is a player that never plays? Do you think Newcastle have got value for money?

Who could they have got of similar ability for less money?

Michael Owen. 

Injury prone & over rated. No thanks

How do you know they have overpaid? We will not know for a year or two

because they paid 27 million for a striker who is not a prolific goal scorer and they could have gotten him (or someone of similar ability) for less money.hence they overpaid.
i accept that he may well end up scoring 30 goals a season for the next 8 years but that does not change the fact that if they had negotiated better they could have got him for less money.they are paying for the big name and potential rather than current ability or past performance.

With all due respect what makes you an authority on negotiating for international footballers? How could they have got him for less than £27 million? Who could they have got of similar ability for less money?

he'll leave Atletico with a record of 82 goals in 214 league appearances.

hardly the mark of a top class striker and certainly not a 27million pound striker.
he's a good player but liverpool have over paid in a big way and i'd imagine atletico can't believe their luck.

How do you know they have overpaid? We will not know for a year or two. He was expensive because he is a proven goalscorer and is young, the reason Henry only went for 16 mill is because he is 30.

Very gud Rocky!!

So big lad - who will championship in your opinion??

Its hard to say, one of Cushendall, Shamrocks or Dunloy. I dont think the quality is great compared to previous years. If Dunloy get their finger out they have a great chance, Loughguile will struggle without Winker.

Glad to hear joe has went down well.
