I don't see anything wrong with it. He probably does enjoy being at the club and would rather have his 9 or 10 games a year than 30 or 40 at a smaller club. He might lack ambition, but Harper is never going to be first choice at Barcelona. The best he could hope for would be the No. 1 at Derby or Sunderland. Or in the Championship. And let's face it, receiving a very large yearly salary for training a few hours each week and then sitting on a bench for 90 min on Saturday afternoon isn't bad. I could very easily see myself being content with that. He'll have retired in about 4 years time and he'll look back on his career. It'll take him 30 seconds. The house(s) and car(s) it provided for him will last a lot longer. He did his bit, and he can be proud that he played for a Premiership team and in Europe. Not many players manage that. You could say the same about Given though. Yes, he plays more. So what? A goalkeeper of his quality could be at a club that wins trophies. And definitely at a club in the Champions League. I just wouldn't knock loyalty, because it is a very rare quality these days. That's fair enough. I don't see it like that at all but....there you go! I just think he's wasted his short time as a footballer by not having the ambition to go out and perform every week. He's not a bad keeper and could have played hundreds of games at another club. You interpret this as loyalty, I interpret it as a lack of ambition. I don't hate him, I've just got no respect at all for him because he's taken the option to sacrifice his career rather than be the best he possibly could be.

He'll be nailed to one if they're bottom 3 at Xmas.

Toldo and Buffon I think.

It's fucking Monday!

No uproar from us, but masses of it from them. Albion are our traditional rivals, and especially for fans from the north side of the city, where a lot of Albion's support is, there is still rivalry. I wouldn't be surprised if Albion told Spurs they wanted 6m and us they wanted 8. Got the picture.

Would there be any uproar from your lot for signing the WBA captain brummie, or is it just a Wolves/WBA thing?

Yep. Best transfer window for a long time. He's got rid of the shite and replaced them with a much higher standard of player by all accounts. He's scouted them and getting Viduka and Geremi on free's was first class. In short, he's doing exactly what I thought he would do when he was appointed. Good stuff.

Good stuff Samuel.

What? Even from the BBC WEBSITE? Tell me your interpretation of the term 'blanket ban' then?

This is going downhill rapidly gentlemen. Sort it via PM if you insist of slagging each other off. midds

The only player that comes close is Ramage. The 2 of them would struggle to get a game in the Northern League. They are utter, utter dogshit.

4-5-1 maybe? Im not a huge fan of it but he might want us to try and crowd the midfield and try to control the game, It would make us harder to beat thats for sure That's the thing - I've not got a clue as to what he'll come up with, but I think he'll do something totally unexpected to try to outfox Bolton.

Is it just me or does anyone else think he'll come up with something totally different seeing as it's Bolton, who will know and be expecting the standard 'Big Sam's 4-3-3'? Just got a feeling he'll pull a rabbit from the hat for the opening game.

I'll go with an outsider and say Southgate.

Not quite his old self they say. He'd do the job like. More creative than anything we've got on the books...

Pablo Aimar tbh.

I've never abused him. I just think he talks s**** to wind up Newcastle fans. Can you point me to the apparant Shite i talked in this thread to warrant you telling me to "f****** shut up, man". That's not abuse tbh. Much in the same way if I told you to "shut the fucking door". Not directed at you. I'd have used a swear word but not directly at you. Unless you're calling for someone to be banned?

blueyes.gif Excellent signing. He's looked the dog's bollocks so far and if he's fit, I can see him being the first on the teamsheet in various positions.

Thank you for your input.

And im the deluded one :lol: I remember someone (think it was Baggio) asking me what i would do if we signed Smith and i replied that i would go to WHL on the day of his signing to complain so the second part of your argument holds no weight. You, attending WHL? f*** off That was somewhat funny i have to admit . 5 games last season wasent that bad though considering im a student and im skint. f****** shut up, man. hmmmmmmmmmm ok :rolleyes: You've got nowt to say and you're saying it too loudly. Now kindly pipe the f*** down. I know your an admin but its as if you really want me to retaliate or something. If you really wanted me to stop you wouldnt have typed the above message. I guess youre bored though so its ok. Whatever stops you posting your fucking drivel will be fine by me. Take your pick.
