We badly needed midfielders FFS. No shit Sherlock, I am not saying we don't. I ws commenting on the crap that ever changing crap that the club keeps spouting..

So Kinnear wanted an experienced Centre Half and a Striker but we bid for 2 midfielders, there is some amount of shit coming out the club...

You would think so. I will not be surprised if we pull of a deal for him once the Keane deal is done.

Looks like Bents going somewhere then...

That Blackburn journo...

That would constitute a major overhaul of the first team and squad. Can't see us making that many changes without a number of departures. Guess there'll be some departures then. I'm still hopeful of Alan Smith leaving. Geremi maybe. Duff hopefully. Time for positive thinking Dave don't ruin this. If we are in for another striker I would not be surprised if Smith does go to the likes of Boro. You would have thought after the midweek game he would have at least made the bench yesterday.

JFK totally clueless again... Beeb Sky

Did he not say something about having been out the game for 18 months when really it was something like 4 years. He probably doesnt even know what fucking day of the week it is, hes fucking doolally..

Five live are meant to have said 6 weeks for Owen and 10 for Barton?

Not sure if its been posted on here, apologies if it has... Happy Face over on TT http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/2418/managersnc0.jpg

Surely anyone but Amdy Faye?

More assists than anyone in our team last season..

Having paid up front last year on Direct Debit for this season (the offer that gave us free cup games) surely I should not have to pay extra if I cancel as this was all bought and paid for before the 450/500/550 carry on this summer?

Not sure which defence needs the most work on...

From the Leazes End...

You can add Duff to that list as another who drains the club of a hefty salary and offers very little..

..... why? Its what tomorrows Times thinks...

Lorenzo Amoruso and Claudio Caniggia to join Lovenkrands, Ferguson, Mendes, Boyd, Novo and McGregor?

More than one in three West Ham and Newcastle United fans are considering giving up their season-tickets, according to research. Virgin Money's Football Fans' Inflation Index, which has tracked match day costs since January 2006, says die-hard supporters could give up their tickets as the credit crunch bites. While 24 per cent of season-ticket holders are considering cancelling, with three per cent thinking about giving up going to all games and 21 per cent considering cancelling and buying tickets when it suits, the survey says clubs most at risk are West Ham, Newcastle and Blackburn, where as many as 37 per cent are having second thoughts about renewing. Even fans of Premiership and European champions Manchester United are feeling the pinch with 36 per cent considering giving up season tickets. Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters Federation, said: "Over the past 15 years football inflation has consistently exceeded ordinary inflation and the industry may well now pay the price for its short-sightedness in allowing that to happen. "At the end of the day watching football is a leisure activity and it would be very surprising if it was immune from the sharp effects of the recession, particularly at the top end of the game where prices are so high."

Was just about to post the same thing...

Martins appears to have no footballing brain whatsoever but he is arguably the biggest threat in our squad. I don't think Owen has even looked as good since Martins has not been playing alongside him...

I thought this thread was going to be about Nigel Quashie...
