Sidwell on for the last 12 minutes. Get used to it you ginger twat!

Arguably the best signing of the Summer imo.

Man of the people tbh.

Just hope it's a game of horrific injuries and sending's off.

FYP.

That is a good site Dave. Almost makes me want to put it in the 'Useful website' thread on GC... DO IT. Haven't got time to find it SEEING AS NO FUCKER USES IT!

Fully expecting City to make a serious move up the table this year. They've bought well imo. Everton will drop a bit and Reading will find it much harder this year. Wigan, Fulham, Sunderland and Boro will fight it out to stay up and Derby fans may as well stick a bit of money on themselves to finish 20th - at least they'd be making a bit out of money that way...

He's a canny bairn!

He's a faux-Geordie, cabbage-faced fucker? False Geordie just because he never played here? Pretends to love us but really fucking hates us and relishes our defeats? In my opinion anyway. The fucker can't stop smiling if he's talking about a Newcastle defeat. I could be being paranoid however...

Have you ever considered that he might just be telling the truth? I've not got a clue as to what went on but it broke down pretty sharpish after a fee had been agreed. Leads me to believe he might have a point tbh. I would have thought that had I not seen him completely avoid the question put to him. To me, that suggested he knew exactly what happened but for some reason decided to say nothing. He could have even just said "I dont know" but his total avoidance just came across as a bit devious to me. He was already laying the blame completely at our doorstep so why no just go the whole hog and tell the world we upped the bid or not That's a fair point like! Perhaps he doesn't want it to turn into a "war of words" as the press seem to love? Perhaps he just didn't want to let on to the red-tops? I just think that there's more than an element of truth to what he's saying/implying. We're not whiter than white in this thing imo. Oh I agree that we dont look great in all of this. We definitely need to speak out on the matter now to put our perspective on it. It is odd to pull out when everything has been done on the deal bar the player pulling on the shirt. Fully agreed on that like. Would like to know what exactly happened but I very much doubt we'll find out.

Math's is fun, isn't it? Isn't Maths fun!

Now there's a question! He's got to balance up the benefits of keeping him fit and in the shop window with the risk of him getting injured. Tough call. Probably on the bench and possibly give him 15 mins if it's going ok.

Smith and Zappa definitely need a game. Would like to see Viduka play at least a half and I'd give Troisi a full game if he's up for it.

well...its if the first half, i'd go with the assumption that he'd do it again after the break, which leads to 76 a season. TheoreticalProbabilitytastic!

So if Viduka scores in the first half at Bolton then gets an injury that keeps him out for the rest of the season, we get to brag we've got a striker that scores 38 a season? Class!

Ah, the good old 3-1-3-1-1-1! Brings a tear to the eye.

18 months.

Is that the bummer?

was just looking that up : 2001/2 4 goals (4 in league) 2002/3 7 goals (6 in league) 2003/4 3 goals (2 in league) 2004/5 2 goals (1 in league) 2005/6 7 goals (6 in league) 2006/7 8 goals (6 in league) Average 5 goals a season (4.2 in league) Well that's certainly pissed on his chips!

Fuck me.

Thought it seemed too good to be true.
