    Arda Turan?

    Bad English ? Better than most on here. Thanks for the info. I know you are in Germany but have you looked at any Turkish press/websites and have we been mantioned in relation to Turan or is it British newspaper talk ?

    and woodgate as far as i'm aware
  4. According to some bloke on a Spurs forum. L'Equipe. http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2008/20080522_145447_coupet-vers-tottenham_Dev.html He would be a distinct upgrade on Robinson. alison lapper would be an upgrade on fat boy robinson

    Why not??? if we think within our realm, we will never improve. Football is about the world and not about our city alone, wonder why the likes of Pool, Man U and even Spurs and believe it or not Leeds are more popular than us. It upsets me when i go to places like China and Singapore and they are not very familiar with the Newcastle name. They only know it as Shearer's club who is basically not very good. Anyway, its a chain reaction, if we are really no good and stay as over-rans, our standing be it Scotland or France will dwindle and that is negative as far as i am concerned. In a way, its a measurement of our success and progress as a football team. weird as wherever i've been in europe newcastle is at least as popular as spurs,more than everton and leeds don't even get on the radar. you are on the wind up. I am talking about Asia. As for France, our name is dwindling.....yes Spurs and Newcastle are just as well known perhaps but most will think Spurs as a better club with bigger potential. Like in France, people start to think St Entienne as a club who is going in the right direction while PSG a bigger name, but going southwards. Most rising stars in France will want to go play for growing clubs and not one like us which is going south in their views unless paid loads. no argument there but after allardyce and hopefully with backing we will be seen as a club going in the right direction. i still say you are on the wind up.

  7. No. It means Spurs have an agreement to allow the other club to sign them now but then sell them to Spurs for less in the future. All players directly or indirectly belong to Tottenham. Tottenham is football and football is Tottenham.
  8. whenever any player moves to a club that isn't spurs does it mean he has turned spurs down ?
  9. Low door frames at the training ground, I hear. nah, bobby said we had the best door frames in the league he meant goal posts. you know what he was like It was a few years ago now though. We may have bigger door frames than most clubs, but other clubs have better door handles these days. Its a catch up scenario for us again I'm afraid Spot on. My wife was saying if the Arsenal or even Spurs are rumoured to be interested in him, he will make noises to force the club to accept the move. As for us, he is just not interested. He has a reputation of being a confident and sometimes quite difficult character. To deviate slightly, my wife's words did make me wonder on the rumoured Turan and Dunne moves, if we are considered attractive propositions, am sure the transfers would have gathered paced substantially with the players expressing their wishes to move to the clubs. As like my missus say, we are both supporting clubs of dwindling reputations. why don't you bugger off and let your Mrs on to the forum ?
  10. Aye, why was the title changed? Nice with a bit of Russian to mix things up. cos no-one on here knows the hebrew translation
  11. and it will all happen when you're asleep. chill out man, it'll happen weter you are on line or not

    we need another left back. if we can get hinm on the cheep fair enough. i'd make him back up to enrique though
  13. Never liked the bloke, but felt sorry for him when he was collecting his medal at the end, dunno how anybody couldn't really. He looked a broken man. the medal that some Chelsea fan has now got. If thats not a signal of it being the end, then what is. Well.... at the end of the day, player for player Chelsea have the best squad in the country and they've ended up winning nothing. I'm sure Grant is a nice enough guy, but does he give his players that little bit extra? Don't think so. It's not his squad and they were playing catch up from the moment he took over. He was also a slip from his captain away from winning the European Cup. Done a remarkable job imo. good job maybe....remarkable is stretching it a bit

  15. i like the idea of a match between "his 2 teams". i also likie the idea of a friendly against the same team or so every close season. even hartlepool one season then darlo the next would be canny to add some sort of regularity or tradition
  16. No self respecting Newcastle fan would allow a kid to follow another club and I can't begin to get my head around somebody buying a kid another clubs shirt. Yet I've been getting s*** for supporting Newcastle on this very forum... Agree with you, btw, and agree with Decky. It's s*** the way these plastic fuckers are the "winners". Still, like someone said, once (if) we win something, it'll be f***ing massive! i even know non-nufc fans from outside the area who had palns to get to newcastle had we won any of the finals as they knew it would be a party to get to
  17. True but that was always my plan b. shurely plan b is to force the little buggers. plan a being the obviously standard "you're from newcastle...support newcastle"
  18. No self respecting Newcastle fan would allow a kid to follow another club and I can't begin to get my head around somebody buying a kid another clubs shirt. once upon a time it was never forced on the young
  19. i feel that but it's pervers living in newcastle. yes it would be amazing being at wembley or wherever when nufc win something but missing out on being in newcastle for that night would kill it a bit for me. the 2 cup finals would have been spoilt if we;d won by wtching the trophy being held aloft by fleeing to kings cross to get back in time to get a bit of THE celebration
  20. there was a few surprising choices......anelka and giggs not being in the respective first 5's
  21. Im from Northern Ireland am i not allowed to support Newcastle? why do you.....out of curiosity ?
  22. on radio 5 today in moscow they had 2 fans from each club......1 sussex,1 dublin,2 maltese......at no point could i work out who supported who
