Whats happened to Owen? Who? Fuck it, give him the famous Newcastle number 18 then.

I'm sure our new number 10, Deco, is actually Brazilian yet plays for Portugal. Alex (?) plays for Japan too.

Claws...........out!

He is lightyears ahead of Martins technically, that's true. And creatively too. But Martins is way ahead of him in goalscoring, pace, strength, shooting, dribbling, and last but not least he's much younger. Fair enough, but I think he'd get very close to the same number of goals as Martins if he was played a bit further up front. In short, Gudjohnsen can do what Martins can do but not the other way round. Gudjohnsen is by far the better, rounded player.

Gudjohnsen is light years above Martins technically. He'd be of more benefit to the team imo.

OH, 4 FS

BUNNELL 9

A link? A? lha ha fair enough. Got a few links?! Try www.readytogo.net/smb Shouldn't be too hard to find some amusement.

A link? A?

How many are positive about it all?

Think it's fair to say the magic carpet has developed a few technical difficulties.

This would look class on a fat lad who had cornrows. Fucking dope, bro.

I think they were talking about Sagna. Nowt to worry about just yet.

Tin hat on. I think he's very average at the moment. He's still young and I'm sure he'll improve and stop making as many mistakes as he currently does. I'm not doubting his commitment or effort and he's not a bad player by ay stretch of the imagnation.....I just don't think he's the player some make him out to be. I wish he was superb -but he's just...not. Yet. Really want Allardyce to sign someone like Sol Campbell who will bring him on as a better player.

Yo yo yo yo homie! You is trippin' muthafucka!

Is this who I think it is?

A ban for making a shit joke/crap wind-up? We'd lose half the board.

Pretty sure he was joking...

Haway man Vic, some of the players earn their employers millions through prize money/ sponsorship and merchandise. It's only right they're paid the going rate relative to the money they bring into the club. PS. If you found out someone was getting paid 3 times as much as you were for doing exactly the same job as you in the same city, how would you react?

The solution is simple. Cap wages. Easy way round that though. Offer basic salary but include huge bonuses for league placing/goals/assists etc. Good idea but it would be exploited imo. Huge bonuses that would have to be actually earnt though, which would be far more palatable for me. Me too. Just pointing out how the big, successful clubs would bend the salary cap rules if they were put in force. Success would be a fair probability so the player knows he'd earn a fortune in bonuses. There's always a loophole which will mean the best players sign for the best teams.

Some actors get $15m a movie... If an employer can afford the best, they'll shell out for the best.

Not really. Get annoyed by picky bastards, mind you...
