Did is obviously getting on but the absolute stupidity of selling Biscan must surely now be dawning on Benitez. Let's not forget that it took only one injury to Hamann in the 2001-2002 season to blow our chances of winning the title, when we did as well as we did last season, getting 80 points. Didi was missing for six games that winter and we had to rely on the comedy trio of Gerrard, Murphy and McAllister in midfield. Anybody who was at the Arsenal game just before Christmas that season will -- or should -- know what I'm talking about. If we had beaten Arsenal that day we would have finished with 83 points, and Arsenal just ahead on 84. With Hamann in the side all season we would have won the title without a shadow of a doubt.
Now we have Sissoko injured every second month and frigging ZENDEN to replace him. Or perhaps he'll go with Alonso and Gerrard in midfield, a

It goes from bad to worse. No doubt he'll try some of the new players as well who won't have a clue what a derby against that shower of crap actually means. If we lose that one we'll be out of the title race again this season before October, and you can put it down to Benitez and his crbutt ignorance.

The question about Kuyt isi dunno, just (on a scale of 1-10) how poor did he look? how "well" did Holland do? wouldn't have thought so, most players raise...
