    Martins' Worth?

    apart from the goal at spurs last season when has martins actually conjeured up something amazing. more myth making ? I would say his goals vs Bolton (overhead kick) and City were from balls where many strikers simply wouldn't have scored. i'll grant you the bolton one but the citeh goal,for all it showed good technique wasn't "amazing" or very special. he's quick,powerful with a canny eye for goal but i feel there is a myth about his "conjeuring" abilities.

    it could be said a player only can only try to be value for his fee as the fee will only be seen in comparisson to others which may turn out to be poor value.
  5. s***. And Given is not one of the best keepers in the world. Sorry like. He has been classed as being int he top 5 keepers int he world over the past few years like, but one thing is for sure he has been miles better than any defence we have had. like like,like like like like. like!
  6. the press don't hate NUFC it's just that they know we have more fucking nugget fans than anyone else who'll help whip any rubbish into a frenzy. unfortunate but true.
  7. spurs......draw reading....win portsmouth..win mackems..win

    Club v Country

    i wonder if owen was ever the one to say "no,i'm not fit" when it came to NUFC. could it be more a difference between the medical staffs ? i have no problem with him saying he'd jump at the chance to play for england if the question was "will you be fit for england ?" he's always been bullish about playing for england,just as he's always bullish that he'll score goals wherever.he is also bullish about playing for NUFC but that is glossed over.
  10. surely it was varadis wife who took some beating. a very good looker in her day aswell she was.
  11. What is a "scotch" player? one of the vast majority of those s*** players that come down from Scotland, as he said. Via Scotrail, unless they have a car There is a chance he could be class, but I wouldn't hold my breath. To be fair though, they have got a good goalkeeper for the first time in a few decades, so you never know. I think you mean Scottish. Scotrail now run trains to England, thats news to me btw? They change the name when they cross the border Racists they do,the trains to stranraer and the early morning glasgow via carlisle services are scotrail.
  12. looking for reasons to have a go i'd say. for example the symantics of "i'll be fit for the next game" but doesn't add "if selected"....regardless of being selected or not what he says is correct.again about allardyce he is correct,a club manager can not pull a player out of the international set up if the medicos say he is fit. can't blame him about the cupped ear thing, iwas there and took the booing to be booing the decision to bring him on in favour of martins. the tv prog,no-one complained when david batty said he wasn't fussed about football when not on the pitch and just viewed it as a job.
  13. long way to go yet. can't understand why people are trying to make their mind up now when nothin can happen till january or maybe even summer 2008.
  14. My thoughts exactly. Even if we do qualify for Europe and this clause isn't triggered, £6m plus a huge saving on wages would be a tempting offer for a player who wants to leave and will do so for nothing in 12 months. Liverpool accepted 8m in the same situation, and he's an older player with more injury questions around him now, meaning 6m is probably very realistic. source ?
  15. 2 years of Owen means 20 games and 9 goals if the last two are anything to go by, to be fair to him the last two years shouldn't be repeated but you never know. what if he plays the vast majority of games between now and the end of the season,plays well and gets a load of goals ? will you still think of the previous two seasons ?
  16. i can imagine you there with your dad (or was it step dad)smacking you on the back of the head whenever you said anything. "haway the..." smack "i went te..." smack "we are the ..."smack jj sea thinking "one day you're gonna re-marry and i'm gonna do sod all about it really" the parent's thinking " when we get home we're gonna nude wrestle...how can i make his sis watch..i know,make her referee" then both think "shit,was that a goal"
  17. it's possible that game saw one of the best saves i've ever seen live ,a double from kevin carr(bottom corner then top corner,2nd shot from peter marinello) off to toonstats to check. edit...na. got it totally wrong,hardwick in goal and no marinello. edit again...the last game of the 80-81 season V orient had carr in goal and margerrsson for them...maybe that was it ? cracking strip they had mind the white with the red stripe all the way down including the shorts,reversed for away days) Nae idea, i cant remember last week. i've always found the distant easier to remember than the recent i deliberatly put the "always" in there to stop some clever fuck posting that i have alzheimers (which i havent anymore)

    Sam's not happy

    i wonder if the clubs would be prepared to tell the tv companies at the next round of talks that they want to dictate the kick off times ?
  20. can't beat benwell but my first was scunthorpe in the 74 cup run,first league game was coventry at the opening of the following season(got lost going to the bogs,lift home off some reporter while me dad scoured the town scared to tcome home). can i add a follow up to the initial question here....how old were you when you went to your first nufc match ? 6
  21. Something dodgy is going on at Norwich like - they've sold all their assets for good money (not crazy money like some do, but decent) and they're still absolutely skint. just the fact that there is no money coming in, and players who have played in the Premiership want Premiership money have norwich got many players from the prem days still on their books ?
