1) Don't know if Torres can really be eligible for this, because he has only been playing since August, I am sure a lot of votes will go to Stevie or Cara, so I will vote for Reina great performance against Chelsea in the semis
2) Riise and Kuyt split. Riise because he actually had a good pre-season but I don;t think he scored a goal in the year 2007 in the league. (did score with his RIGHT against Barca though, and against PSV in the quarters). Kuyt has been a waste of time and money, the fact that he lead the team in goals in the prem last season is reflection on how poor we were.
3) I see a lot of people voting for Arbeloa on here and on the official for this award. Not sure I understand that because he is a knew player and people just never heard of him. Although he has improved over the course of the year, he came in straight away and played well (out of position) Not sure if its supposed to go to who's 2007 season had the biggest increase from their 2006 campaign, or who improved the most over the course of the 2007 season, because those are different questions. I think my vote will go to Agger. Some might say that is just natural development from him getting older, wiser, more experienced, etc. But you can't just wake up one day and be better he had to put in the time.
4) 2-1 at the Nou Camp,
5) Loss to Reading 3-1. I know the real answer is Marseille, but Rafa picked a terrible team, and our two best players gave away silly fouls that lead to 2 of their goals, the other big clubs had just dropped points and we failed to make up ground
6) Torres vs. Chelsea or Pennant vs. Chelsea (what a way to get your first goal for the club)
1) Sabre, the Johnny Depp of the good ship Pro
2) The "Tactics" Thread and the unspeakable R word too. I also really enjoyed the oppo threads, and hope those come back as well as a loan update version of it
3) One of my crazy hypothetical threads, at least I normally don't put them in general discussion
4) Manhattan
5) don't really read disputes, just kinda skip over 'em cuz its the internet. to be fair, im not really one for real life disputes either.
6) The rumor that we were going to sign Torres, Tevez, Mancini, and Simao all to be signed within a 10 day period. and this was after Torres had agreed in principle, I think it was just put in there to make it sound more "credible" I still don't understand why we didn't go after Tevez harder, I thought Mascherano was going to try and recruit him.
