Will I miss Gelson? I suppose I will, but only in the sense thath e gave e plenty of ammunition to write about!! Cya soon Cheers Plattsy, no it’s not really a growth on Manu’s hand – it’s actually the arm of another player, ie. an illusion of the optical variety.

I think you've just about covered everything, from fergie's rant to our internationally feared strike force! Is that really a growth on Addy's arm? It's not very appealing if it is. I thought you might have a final word on Gelson's departure! You'll miss him really! Cya later! An epic season preview, Sven!

The deformity in Adebayor's arm is actually an optical illusion. There is another players arm which looks as if it is joined onto Manu's left hand side. It's maybe not worded very well, but in basic form, I found the deformity/optical illusion amusing :) Although I vehemently disagree with you about your harshness and brutality towardfs my pre-season look-a-like effort, I can see that it's not a great resemblance. Where is the picture you used for Nugent when you wrote about him on OSF? It's the picture of him scoring in an England shirt, but I couldn't find it anywhere. In that image, he was the spitting image of Elano, but never mind ... That is honestly Valeri, and no, I have not made him look fatter in the second picture. I have merely made both pictures the same size, although in that process, I did probably accentuate Bojinov's facial fatness!! Would I take sixth? No. That, presuming that the top four remained intact, would mean that another side, possibly Villa, Spurs or Everton, have done better than us without spending anywhere near the same level of money as we have. Although I expect to finish fifth and would regard that as a very impressive season, I would be fairly disappointed to finish any lower. Just on your pre-seaosn snide comment, shay Given said that the year when Blackburn won the title, they failed to win a single pre-season game, so there is hope for us maybe ... Will do.

I disagree on the Elano/Nugent one though, if you insent "worst" between "for" and "look-a-like of the season" that's more like it. Is that really Bon Jovi? Have you stretched the recent picture to make him fatter? I wrote down where I predicted all the Premier League teams to finish and I have you in sixth, which I believe you should see as acceptable progress, but many Manchester City fans would probably be disappointed with. It takes time to build a great side, as your pre-season form shows, so you should be patient. Please read my Burnley preview and tell me what you think, particulalry regarding the layout, which is quite difficult on OSF.
