Quote Ian [77="Ian [77"And, in other news, from the same paper, on the same 'incident': www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... phies.html'" In Savage's defence he's always appeared to me to be a "what happens on the field stays on the field" kind of player. It's totally within character for him to play down what happened. But from those photographs he's obviously lying. Which do you think holds more weight, Savage's comment or the photographic evidence?

What photographic evidence? Hardly overwhelming is it? I cant see any spit on Savage, so whos to say Ronaldo wasnt just clearing his throat or nose like footballers do about 20 times a game.



I will take Savages word over a photo that tells us

Why is he 'obviously lying'? The pictures show Ronaldo spitting in Savage's direction, it's not as if he's wiping the phelgm off his blonde locks is it? If there's another angle that 'proves it' I look forward to seeing it. Before that, I'll take Savage's view over yours. He was closer.



Feel free to get all giddy about it though, knock yourself out. Think you might be on your own though mate.

[iPictures seemed to show him spitting at Savage, though the Derby star insisted: "Nothing happened.



If you have got pictures showing that sort of thing, it was definitely something I wasn’t aware of.



I’ve got absolutely no problem with him."[/i



So it's not really a "nothing happened". More of a "Nothing happened as far as I'm aware".

Savage was yards away and the spit was allegedly aimed at him. I'm struggling to figure out who has got a better view? If he wasn't aware of it there's a good chance it didn't happen.

Not really. They're still an ageing, dysfunctional side without Kaka.



Rossoneri vaffanculo

Let's just say, opinions would be different if it was Drogba or Gerrard.

If there was a picture showing Gerrard spitting in the general direction of Robbie Savage, and Robbie Savage said (paraphrased) 'he didn't spit at me' I don't think anyone would be claiming Gerrard did it. No one with a brain in their nut anyway. Same for Drobga.

adriano - hand of god II

Somehow, I just don't think that is the case.

They all count, and since we hardly ever win Milan derbies I'm going to treasure it while I can

had inter on my coupon... shame i also had racing

He should have thought about that before he followed the money to LA. No sympathy. Not that he gives a monkeys, like.

Good point.



If it was Gerrard it wouldn't be even in the press.

Can anyone help me out?



[iOnly four players currently playing in the Premier League have got a higher total transfer fee than Craig Bellamy. Who are they? Bellamy's transfer fee is around £45million.[/i



I've got three of the four.

Which three have you got mate? Off the top of my head, I can think of Anelka and Keane.

Anelka

Keane

Owen?

Ferdinand?



Just a rough guess mind.

Ferdinand is another that comes to mind.

Beat me to it.



Owen isn't one.



Was thinking of Woodgate but think he falls just short.

Defoe must have gone for a bit?

Anelka, Robinho and Ferdinand?

Berbatov may be close?

I also have Anelka (£87m), Keane (£57m), Ferdinand (£47m).



Berbatov and Woodgate both fall just short.



I haven't found how much Real Madrid paid for Robinho as he's the only other realistic option I can think of.

Anelka

Robbie Keane

Robbie ?

Berbatov must be close ? Not sure what Leverkusen paid for him, but £10.9m + £30m. (2 English moves)

Defoe is approx £31million, just checked him, totally forgot about him.
