    Why is it that so many folks misspell Hyypia.

    by the way - I'm on board with the fee now. was really just wishfully thinking that Soton would drop it to about 60m.

    I agree. he's not 100% fit and will need to get used to his teammates and our style of play. may not even see him in the derby match.

    So, to put this in perspective, we paid 75M for a guy who can't get in the side for S-hampton?

    That gives me a warm fuzzy feeling for sure...:)

    Welcome aboard VvD!!

    My brother, if you recall, lives in Finland, the land whence came Hyypiä. There are two dots over the final "a" in Hyypiä, too, but my computer doesn't seem to want to reproduce that letter.

    ä -- Zounds! I take that back.:cool:

    All of this could be avoided by simply referring to him as Sami.

    Sami is the owner of the greatest record any center back could have. In the 2000-2001 season he played every game while we won the League Cup, FA Cup, and UEFA Cup. But that’s not the record. He played all those games and never received a single yellow or red card.

    Performances like that are why my first kit with a name on it was Hyypia.

    The codes for umlauted vowels are: ä (0228); Ä(0196); ë(0235); Ë(0203); ï(0239); Ï(0207); ö(0246); Ö(0214); ü(0252); Ü(0220); ÿ(0225) and Ÿ(0159). 2. Enable the Num Lock feature of your numerical keypad.

    Of course, if you do most work on your phone. Too bad!

    Rio Ferdinand joined ManU for 30m in 2004. 75m today is probably relatively less, but let’s hope he turns out even better!

    Don’t think anyone can question FSGs commitment or ambition any more!

    The phone is even easier as keeping the key for the Latin vowel pressed gives you the option of the Germanic ones, too.

    Just saying, like.

    Knock on wood - but if everything works out here (even if it 80% works) we could have a CB to build around for 5-6 prime years or more.

  21. I remember so many giving crazy comments about signing a defender from the Dutch league with him.

    You know what’s easy to spell? Feyenoord. Rolls right off the tongue. :D
     
  23. When I kiss a woman I start flexing it by repeating Feyenoord a few times. Especially the last part gives the necesary vibration. Strangely enough it turns them on too!:p

    Salah and VVD for 110M sounds like good business to me.,

    Kinda the Dutch equivalent of Kevin Kline's Italian routine in "A Fish Called Wanda"?
