Skeletor

Well I'm sure shopping wasn't his main point. It was footballers career choices and moves being decided by their wives demands.

I don't see any relevance to the Keane comments. Moving to London because of the demands of family/wags.

That Blue Star player pictured ( don't know any of their names ) chased after that ball and cleared it off the line in a manner not dissimilar to Martins first goal against Bolton. Sam was there, he arrived just 7 or 8 minutes before kick off. Nice car, some sort of Bentley. I was just getting a ticket as he pulled up about 10 yards away. Pretty sure Ameobi's first goal was meant to be a pass to Owen (who was clear in space) that was misdirected. About three minutes after that Owen laid a ball off to him when he was in loads of space and he had loads of time too. He bent it out with a looping soft shot which even if he'd kept straight might only have met the post. Saw Owen having words with him after that, not nasty like. Troisi was very industrious and always looking for the ball, should prove to be a good player if he keeps developing. Kasanga also looked lively at times, skipping past some challenges nimbly and with pace. Dyer played in fits and starts, much like any other game. As often as not he took it too far though, running into trouble when an earlier lay off would have potentially been far more productive. The only booing I heard was when his name was called out right at the beginning and it wasn't many and quickly died. More a token gesture by some fanatics than anything else. Maybe it was the eggers! Cacapa, couldn't really judge him. Sat deeper than the rest often during the first half with Ramage doing most of the clearing up. Ramage actually looked quite good at that level. They played a 4-4-2 and I know it wasn't a 'real' game but it was not a patch on the Bolton game. Hope they were taking it easy because on that showing Blue Star were definitely not there just to make up the numbers. Not many players looking for space, at least not with any real conviction. Good enough warm up. Both have looked good pre season. Troisi just needs to get his Cordone hair cut. Nah his long hair gives him a world class continental player look lol.

Everton would be top with a draw.

Absolutely f****** sick of this prick now. Even after everything that's been said by Sam about Martins this total knob jockey STILL goes on about us wanting to get rid of him for £10m? There is something going on here like, for whatever reason this c*** wants to unsettle one or more of our players on a daily basis. If it wasn't Martins of whoever it'll be someone else. I'm going to email the Chronicle to say i'm going to urge every Toon fan I meet/see/talk to, to boycott the Chronicle until this horrible little weasel of a man is replaced. It's attention seeking. He's out of the loop so his only hope is to make up stories, which he hopes will get Big Sam to say something in response to vindicate his piece of shit journalism.

I think we'll win but it will be tight. 1-0 I guess.

End the season now and give us the trophy .

I like how Paul Scholes is doing a myspace pose.

Probably because no-one gives a shit who they sign really.

We had like 4 points for the first month and a half as I remember. 2001/02 is the last time we hit the ground running. Top at Christmas and all.

How is Babayaro back on track?

Well Luque holds the record for longest topic doesn't he and now this lad gets 42 pages for signing.

42 pages for a player who no-ones really seen. Spanish players = ratings.

Aye, but you do know we are also in talks with him don't you? Incase you've missed it: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_2640553,00.html Quotes from Sam about Enrique FTW.

That's not very controversial and it doesn't paint Luque in a bad light. Poor post tbh.

Beastly guns tbh.

Saying?

He really is the next Buffon! *Chortle*

We need more players than the average club due to all our injuries lol.

If we really wanted to make a push for the CL places we'd buy not just a top quality right back but also splash out on a play making midfielder. We really would have an excellent squad then.

But more importantly...how will John Motson pronounce it?

*Shudder* All the talk of new defenders and yet Carr, Ramage and Huntington appear in a potential starting line up. How icky. Maybe one last look at mediocrity hopefully?

Maybe they'd be interested in a Nigerian left back, rarely used, good Premiership experience at sitting on a treatment room table

Haha wasn't Pistone touted as the next Maldini or something stupid?

No but Mr. Connections confirmed it in the Chronicle. Plus I believe it's been on Sevillas official site but I'm too lazy to check heh.
