how fucking kind,please mr prem league,d'you think you could arrange some of our games to be played at 0338 in papua fucking new bastard guniea !!!!!!!

TALK ABOUT A WIND UP is that a record,he's on here just a few days and already people are treating him as a joke.almost,dare i say it,vicesque ?

I'm glad they've all gone, Sir John did a good job and Shepherd has done Ok at times, mainly the ground expansion and with the appointment of Sir Bobby. I can't think anything good to say about Douglas although I'm sure he must have done something positive during his time here, possibly in bringing Keegan in, I'm scratching my head after that. I knew somebody 5 years ago who had known Douglas for most of his life and he said that he was a very nice person, he would go drinking with him down the quayside most weekends, I guess the spotlight must have changed his personality. that alone was enough.

but if he stays fit till january ? Like i said, catch 22, i also rate Anelka as high, if not higher than Owen, he has at least had the potential and the main ingredient to be one of the best strikers in the world, i dont think we'd be losing out on goalscoring prowess if we signed Anelka, and to be honest his all round play is now much better than Owens, minus the life threatening injuries and fit him in a team manged by a manger he seems to respect and you have a ready made replacement with a tidy £5-6m(?) profit. Far more adaptable than owen in terms of formation and strike partners as well. Theres a whole can of worms to be opened on commitment issues by both players but i wont go so far. going off memory i don't think anelka has been anywhere near as proloific a goalscorer as owen since anelka left arsenal.even the better all round player bit is a bit misleading,he's abetter prospect playing wide than owen but through the middle i reckon owen is a better goalscorer and as good a player(for that position). as i've earlier said,for me, the decision should come down to owens fitness and how allardyce best sees the direction of the team(i'm not too keen on 4-3-3 at the moment even if anelka was brought in).if owen stays fit and plays well and we look like progressing it would be madness to sell,it's a decision that shouldn't be made now.

but if he stays fit till january ?

"LOLA" was used for ginola,the shola song,yes he has his own,is based around the hokey cokey.

good point,but on the other hand any player nearing his quality will want a large wage,if we are doing well he'll want to stay. my decision wouldn't be based now but a lot nearer the time.

cos it's a business.

2 match suspension is pointless as due to the result of the injuries he sustained at parkhead he's not due to regain conciousness for months lat alone fitness.

even if he stays fit,plays well and scores regularly till then ?

think about enrique though ? if he was going anywhere it would be barca,real or sevilla, it shocked spanish football that he came here. don't take it too serious,just wanting to scare 1878

I'm hoping for Kaka in January myself. You don't think Arteta would sign for a club higher than you in the table and with a lot more money? There is no way he would sign for Newcastle at this point, whatever way you want to spin it. There was a rumour he turned down Man Utd in the summer. If he leaves us it will be to Sevilla, Valencia, Villareal, Atletico etc when he finally gets sick of being left out of the Spain squad. To be honest, I think he could even have a place at R.Madrid or Barcelona. which is why they've never tried to get hom from everton or rangers

if ,and it's a big IF,we play 3 up front, then smith is the player to be part of it,outside of that i doubt he'll be a first choice starter.

Madras has been drinking tonight folks... nothing to see here. all right then "limb" i'm typing with a cold

4-1-1-1-3 ?

He's cleaned his brain, maybe it'll be better this time. His words, not mine. i guess they don't have vim in istanbul

what was the reason for reading V fulham being on sunday ?

He's cleaned his brain, maybe it'll be better this time.

the problem with emre is that he often makes an impact when coming back into the side but disappoints when given a run, maybe a new set up will bring (keep) the best out of him ?

we have choices between good players.....................how good is that ? particularly in that position

30 league games left.......................out on a linb i think we'll get 22+ out of him

it was all over and even when previously owen comes on as sub the chant goes up "oba obafem oba obafem"regardless of wether martins goes off or not. it's like "he's our favourite and we don't like you" From where I was Owen got a large cheer. from those that didn't boo the decision to take oba off....theres a scism i tells ya

they are nearly all footballing mercenaries.
