Many transfers Brummie mate? Parky's schadenfreude knows no bounds...

No idea mate! It would make sense.

Viduka.

Football's a global sport now and I think it's pretty arrogant to just assume that Europe should get to host it more than any other continent. The game is growing and the days of automatically alternating from Central/South America and Europe are over for good. Since WWII: 1950 Brazil (S. America) 1954 Switzerland (Europe) 1958 Sweden (Europe) 1962 Chile (S. America) 1966 England (Europe) 1970 Mexico (CONCACAF) 1974 Germany (Europe) 1978 Argentina (S. America) 1982 Spain (Europe) 1986 Mexico (CONCACAF) 1990 Italy (Europe) 1994 USA (CONCACAF) 1998 France (Europe) 2002 Japan/Korea (Asia) 2006 Germany (Europe) 2010 S. Africa (Africa) 2014 ?

He was awesome. I remember everyone raving about him after that, thinking he'd really push on. Excellent display from him the whole match, up front by himself. He bullied Desailly at SJP and scored an excellent goal from outside the box. He was closely marked and held Desailly off and scored on the turn. Someone might remember when that was? It was Drogba-esque tbh. Not saying i'm a massive fan but he has shown he has got ability in the past. That was the game where Shearer scored the beauty as well, I think? Three seasons ago I believe, maybe even more. Anyone who thinks he's completely useless needs to have a word in all honesty. Just because he's inconsistent and generally seems to underperform doesn't mean you have to pretend he's woeful or anything. Some of the abuse Shola gets on here is shocking, and a disgrace, in all honesty. He does get an inordinate amount of shit for some reason. He's got talent, is committed and scores goals on a regular(ish) basis. He gives defenders a hard time and must be a nightmare to play against. But, hey, he's inconsistent and lollops about the place so he deserves everything he gets...

The sad thing is though, that people will read the headline and then buy the paper to get the full gist of it. If his bollocks stories are shifting papers then he's got nowt to worry about. The only way he'll lose sleep at night is if people stop buying the fucking rag, full stop.

if THAT pile of utter drivel unsettles Nobby, he'd be best off fucking off. That last bit should say 'But when I asked Allardyce today if he had decided on his captain he replied: "Not...hang on, who are you? Are you that wrong-faced little twat who makes stuff up about the team i manage, and used to suck Shepherd and Souness off?. Fuck off, and stop phoning me or i'll have the law onto you".' Fair point! I should have re-phrased it as "...deliberately trying to unsettle one of our players".

When was the last time he wrote something without unsettling one of our players? Fucking tit.

Was it Ken Bates at Chelsea? Seem to remember him dying to find out if his electrified fence worked, many moons ago now like...

This is positive... think back to the Souness/Bellamy crisis and this was a forum in civil war. Wasn't aimed at you tbh. You're spot on like and the 'civil war' what we're trying to avoid.

Sorry like but nee puffs allowed in this thread so please f*** off. Nothing constructive to say I take it? He's had a pm. Let's take it from there, eh? blueyes.gif Haha fine, don't mind insults just as long as theyappear in a constructive sentence about the actual topic. Just calling someone a poof is a bit chidlish like... Correct. Carry on. Without slagging him off obviously.

He said you we an idiot. That's hardly abuse mate. Get a fucking grip.

You wouldn't bet on RvP? Clearly clueless your self TBH How many goals is he getting then? You wouldn't bet on RvP? Clearly clueless your self TBH How many goals is he getting then? 20+, fact When's the last time someone scored more than 20+ goals in the PL? Not on about PL Alltogether he will get around 25 this season Idiot, he hasn't even scored that in total for Arsenal Sorry like but nee puffs allowed in this thread so please fuck off. Any need? Seriously? Bad craic.

I honestly think that everyone involved in this thread wants NUFC to be as successful as possible. How it's achieved may be open to debate, but harking back to decades ago serves no purpose imo. It's 2007 and we all want to move on. Be positive lads.

Aye, well done...

Well done Google.

We should have one of these threads every month tbh. Any objections to me re-naming this one: The Official 07/08 Betting Thread (Ante-post & August)?

Good signing for Everton. They look quite solid at the back and they'll create enough to win more than their fair share. If Moyes doesn't spit the dummy and leave them in the lurch, they'll finish top 8, no problem.

Are you old enough to bet? Yeh, are you? Tell you what we'll bet your life he doesn't get 20+ goals in the PL.

Pick yer arse up. It's just dropped!

Even though he's never kicked a ball in the Premier League, I think Da Silva will outscore van Persie and Adebayor for the Arse this season. Looks a cracking player when I've seen him for Croatia and this pre-season. Not quite up to filling Henry's boots but he'll do ok this season imo.

Really? That's ridiculously big. blueyes.gif He'll be first choice surely? Can't see Jol paying £16m for him to warm the bench... Doubt it. Keane looks like he's gonna get the nod against Sunderland. That's insane! Shell out £16m on Bent and leave him on the bench? Find it very hard to believe tbh. I thought Bent's scored a few pre-season and has started most of them too. I know you've won the lot and it looks like they've clicked very early.
