You could put that post in nearly every thread. Should be in the board header... "Newcastle Online - i have to say that there isn't much interesting to read"

Sad news, but I agree. It's fairly big news that one of the top players for one of the top teams in the top league is missing one of the most important games of the season because his mother has died tbh While I sympathise with Frank and wouldn't wish the death of a parent on anyone, the major news is that he's missing the match, not that his mother has died. I'd rather hear about this than Princess fucking Di tbh

Does this mean tomorrow may or may not be Friday with a press conference that may be or may not be at 3.30pm? Oldskool!

I just been told that men who may or may not be Modric's representatives may or may not be holding talks with men who may or may not be representing NUFC. You heard it here first

There's one thing for sure; if he signs for another Premiership team, he'll regularly score against us.

Who's the young Dutch lad we're talking to as well?

So who was he then?

Darren Bent's been good whenever he's played. No idea why Spurs don't play him more. Phi Neville hasn't been bad either. Surely the entire Derby team must be in with a shout though?

Mine's a lager.

Don't you get the impression that the money is there, but we're not willing to pay over our own evaluation for players? They're not like Shepherd, who would probably say something like "Sod it, offer him £120k per week!" :S The same Shepherd who refused to sign Anelka and Boa Morte based on the fact that he wasn't willing to pay over our own evaluation for players? He's talking about wages isn't he? I don't remember Shepherd turning anyone down over wages tbh. Not like you to disagree for the sake of it I made the point that Shepherd wasn't the "fuck it, it's only money" type that the poster was making him out to be. I've never seen wage negotiations hit the papers though tbh.

Apparently its the fee, not the wage. I'm not sure that we'd provide all the hospitality, then offer £6m less than the apparent January asking price. It is just one paper after all. All of the talk is coming from his club, not NUFC. Bidding war, nothing more. Coming from Telegraph, .com, and the Chronicle as well remember. When has Oliver ever taken a story off a foreign newspaper? Sorry, but trying to convince me that Oliver talks anything other than bollocks is a bit of a waste of time. Our media are reporting it because they've picked up on the story in Croatia. (IMO) Whoosh! Me or you?

As I said about 11 pages ago, can't someone lock this thread until something factual happens?

Fuck it, now we're getting relegated. Sack Keegan!

Pretty much my team too.

Another reason why he wouldn't move there.

I voted before Diego was added. I'd choose him.

RIP Mrs Lampard.

Who has most assists this year?

You simply cannot use statistics to judge how well a player is playing. Essien does not play behind the striker, Gerrard does. Of course you can. Goals are what win games and Essien simply does not contribute as much as Gerrard does to win games. Gerrard is Liverpool, he is more important than Torres. The same cannot be said for Essien. Essien does not have a vital role in the team, he isn't outstanding almost every week. Gerrard is. Ergo Gerrard > Ferdinand. Nice one. By the way, Gerrard has been dogshit for half of the season. Outstanding almost every week? Utter shit.

What? Is he just talking about tradition here? he spent 3 years at everton I'm just wondering how Chelsea aren't considered top 5. Strange.
