Bellamy changes clubs the way other people change their underwear It's quite clear he carries a lot of baggage and that so far every manager he's been with ahs been glad to see the back of him pity because he has genuine talent but you get both th poisonous shit and the gifted footballer in the same nasty little package - and people can't work with him

The CITY police - not the Met?? V odd - I wonder if due diligence turned up sommat nasty in the wood shed at SJP that someone has decided to spill in the City of London???

Given Solano Albert

didn't allardyce say a couple of weeks ago (before torres and tevez) that he was 100% sure owen would stop.i notice he's said no such thing about martins. Graemeh72 is mainly right tho - total bloody silence until he realised he isn't as popular with the big 4 as he thought...................

taken him long enough - must have realised that no-one was coming in for him.............

But they don't. we actually need a crying, wailing and gnashing of teeth section right now :tickedoff: we'll sing when we see some bloody effort on teh pitch.........................

Well I reckon it's worth the price of a pint each week............... it saves me that sitting in the Sunshine Lounge Silver Surfers Space typing away instead of wandering off to the Blue Bell...........

Or do I have to resurect TTTTW???

stuff what it means for the wingers for teh paying public it means a really boring match

last chance to use fat Fred's Loyalty Card in the brothels of Spain

THAT costs money..............

It'll be the Shepherd Bros with a vast floating stadium off Tynemouth

aye, someone has to wipe the Chairman's arse

Half-right - you need BOTH, but the team takes precedence ; anyone who doubts that should look at Sheffield Weds & what happened when they put ground before team... Personally, I wouldn't care if Ashley had to move to get a much bigger stadium once things start rolling & success arrives - we lost hugely when the Leazes Park project was downed, and even if it meant going over the river(which would concentrate the Council's minds hugely.!!)we should consider it if it means keeping up with Man U, Liverpool etc. worry about that once we've won the PL , the Cup and reached the SF of the CL regularly

as the ground has got bigger the atmosphere has got worse IMHO

Anal certainly gets folk worked up doesn't he?

aye, watch some of those games from the 70's and early 80's and it was dreadful stuff no wonder gates fell like a stone

No Bolton either? Reading born, Reading bred Strong in arm, thick in head

why the hell would they want to go from a team that finished just outside the Yurpean places to a s***hole on the Wear???

Owen?

never an easy match when he was ont eh other side for sure - he haad real ability at getting under the skin of a defence not dirty but quite like Shearer in that respect

well he did say he hadn't seen much football But Beckham has played some great games for England I'd guess for RELIABILITY Banks Charlton R Robson

Answer = Dixie Dean. Who no-one has ever seen. Or Jimmy Greaves. Who someone might have. Saw him on his debut for Chelsea when he scored against Spurs and, not surprisingly, throughout his career. Easily the most clinical striker England has produced in my lifetime. But, as I said before, the best English player I've seen (albeit only 7 or 8 times) was Duncan Edwards, absolute quality, better than Bobby Moore imho. Saw Utd thrash the scum at Highbury the weekend before Munich, that was the best club side I've ever seen, better than the Spurs Double side and far better than anything else since. What kind of player was Edwards like? Me granda says he was a real powerhouse and could do absolutely anything on the pitch, absolutely anything. Edwards - I saw a bit of him on film when I was a bairn - very stocky, very solid. Excellent distribution and could "see" the whole pitch he never really played in the era when club sides and England were playing a lot of matches against foreign opposition - it was always the Home Countries - and I have a feeling he would have been caught for pace against the likes of Brazil & Portugual I saw Greaves play a lot - not just a goal scorer but also could play off the ball as well - on his day he could just dismantle a defence. Mind there was always something a bit...odd... about him - like his attention wasn't always there - I don't think most peopel were too surprised that he never really hit it off with Ramsey who demanded 100% 100% of the time. The Greavsie you see on TV these days is much the same - bit of a lad, liked a drink, laid back, not too serious. But a brilliant forward for sure

Wouldn't like the forum not to record the passing of Doog Big, tough bastard he was 'naalll

good - he's a class player when he's given the right support
