Surprised he didn't recognise you tbh...

Magpies Sign Smith By Craig Hope ALAN Smith has signed for Newcastle United on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee from Newcastle United. The England star becomes Sam Allardyce's fifth signing of the summer, and links up with former Leeds team-mates Mark Viduka and James Milner. The 26-year-old trained with his Magpie colleagues on Friday and could make his debut in Sunday's friendly against Sampdoria at St.James' Park.

Somehow I think that might be wrong. Feel free to correct me though. Sounds about right tbh. 90 games together = 180 individual appearances. 71 in 180? More than plausible? I bet Owen and Heskey have something similar tbh. No idea on the stats for that combo...

You pleased with that? I really can't make up my mind about him really. I think he's done a very good job there all things considered. Be a big step back if he went, Shirley? I think he's done a good job yeah, just doubt he'd be able to take Everton to the next level. Bit s*** him not getting transfer funds though. He did well last season, has built a decent squad, got them into Europe and all that on a limited budget (iirc). If there's no transfer funds for Moyes there won't be for anyone so getting to the next level is irrelevant at this stage really. And if there are no funds we'd end up with someone like Peter Reid because no decent manager would come here. I'm not Moyes' biggest fan because I would prefer a more attack minded manager and I feel he is tactically naive at times. However, he's done well when I look back and consider the budget and what he had to start with when the useless Walter Smith was sacked. I don't think anybody we could currently attract would do a better job. The board need to go urgently. They're fucking ruining us, slowly but surely. Never realised things were that grim tbh. From the outside-looking-in obviously...

you heard from? Another forum would be my guess. No offence to the fella but I am guessing he is as ITK as I am anorexic! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6922733.stm West Ham and Carlos Tevez's advisers will confirm on Friday that they have reached an agreement over the striker's registration, Five Live understands. With the threat of High Court action on 22 August hanging over negotiations, talks have been ongoing this week. BBC Five Live's Nigel Adderley said: "A settlement has been reached, and that could be ratified by the Premier League and Football Association on Friday." It is thought Tevez's advisors MSI will pay West Ham between £1m and £3m. That will free the 23-year-old Argentine to complete a move to Manchester United, whose manager Sir Alex Ferguson has made no secret of his desire to sign the player. Tevez's switch to United had stalled over who will be paid the transfer fee. The Premier League and West Ham say the Hammers should receive the fee but Kia Joorabchian's companies MSI and Just Sports Inc claim they own the striker's economic rights. Adderley explained: "West Ham need to reach a settlement which proves to the Premier League they are the significant beneficiaries of any transfer involving Tevez." Tevez, meanwhile, has said he expects to join United, adding: "To play for a super-club like Manchester United without any pre-season work behind me is going to be a real handicap." The bingo boys on KUMB are not happy!! :lol: They ought to be grateful they are still in the premiership tbh. It's like a charver mugging an old lady, nicking her £200 mobile phone, shrugging off a copper who has tried to arrest him, going straight to a pawn-broker to get shot of it asap and then whinging when he's offered only £25 for it!

Aye, I'll go along with every word of that. blueyes.gif

Half a Cacapa is better than twice a Ramage from what I've read.

Not even a teeny, weeny bit positive about signing him? I'm a little bit mirandhina, and a little bit Fumaca, about it tbh Well at the minute our back-up CB is Ramage. Who would you rather play - this guy or Ramage?

'As a quick check, 20 of the 23 players we named tonight have come through (or are still among) our Academy ranks, while only 8 of the 17 players who were used have ever played a senior competitive game for the club. ' from .com so what was the point of the match then? To judge the youngsters, give them a game and incentive, and to say hello to an old pal. Full team back out for the next friendly though. I wonder if Hull knew that beforehand Probably not, but it got bums on seats (money in the coffers) and their fans went away happy. They could also be keeping Andy Carroll. if I was a Hull fan I wouldn't have been happy You're only happy when you've got something to be miserable about anyway tbh.

I'd like to think we've got enough versatile players to switch formation depending on the opposition tbh. As long as we play a flat back 4, I'll be happy. 3 at the back is the work of the devil.

How have you come to that conclusion exactly? H eris just as injury prone but we also have the games hhe will miss after his red cards! So he's definitely going to pick up injuries and red cards then? IMO its a pretty safe bet, yes! Fair enough! We'll soon find out I guess.

They haven't wasted too much of it either. They've definitely bought some excellent players for reasonable fees... >

Plenty of people in this country want to fill you in without the French being invited to have a go too...

What's up? It's a new thread, I'd have thought you'd have been delighted.

Don't be so harsh on yourself. Shut up and put your shoes back on. Your an embarrassment to Newcastle United Football Club, now f*** off and die you inbred spacker. I think that pretty much seals the deal like. blueyes.gif No one asked you to speak, fuck off.

To be fair, I think there's only 1 person panicking about this...

Had this broken about 2 months ago after his 'bust-up' I might, might have said it had a bit of credence. The lad's back playing well by most accounts and any rifts that may have been there seem to have been sorted. Horseshit imo.

Looks like he is off given that it is one of those typical 'BBC understands' articles that always come true. Don't take this the wrong way but you're talking out of your arsehole. How can you possibly take a snippet like that and take it as gospel?
