Dinho lad

brilliant goal. Showed some decent agility for a fat bugger. (Not that I think he's that fat anyway.)

Just about good enough- Colo Enrique Barton Guthrie Jonas Routledge Loven Saylor Good enough for squad/backup players- Harper Krul Raylor Kadar Nolan Smith Carroll Forster (need a 3rd choice keeper) On Loan- Ranger Not Sure yet- Williamson Hall Simply not good enough- Butt Shola Best Pancrate Simpson

More chance of us not getting promoted.

Solano's goal against 1860 Munich.

we're going up now.

Get in!

sigh....madras, didn't you moan once or twice before because of members starting RIP threads whenever a footballer dies??

Typical end of season Villa fall away.

Nice spanking Villa are taking there! No Champions League for them!

1-0 to the arsenal. nasri. good.

Media far too soft on them as usual. Shit team, shit players, shit fans, shit staduim...shit club!

That is absolute s****. Which keeper were they going to sign? It was the end of the transfer window when he signed. He could have signed in the summer, Man City would have waited 4 months if they really wanted him. All Shay was interested in was himself, and he let us down by s***-stirring, lying to the fans and then engineering an injury to keep him out of the Man City game before signing for them. Pretty much all of that is speculation. End of the transfer window when he signed yes. Could have been negotiating for a while. If he said no early on they would have looked elsewhere. A team with Man City's money could have got almost any keeper. They weren't going to wait around. It's really not as simple as saying 'no I don't want to sign at the moment but can you please buy me in summer? Pretty pleeeaaasssseee!?' No, its not speculation. Given was reported as saying he was happy at the club and had no plans to leave in mid-december. By the first of January his "representative" who was also his lawer said that he wanted to move. Given made no comment to refute that, so in the space of 2 weeks he has turned full circle. Manchester City could have got any keeper but they didn't want any keeper, they wanted Given. Shay Given wanted his loyalty bonus from Newcastle and so wouldn't hand in a transfer request until it was made clear to him that he wouldn't be leaving unless he backed down. He finally handed in a transfer request and pulled out of the squad for the game against Man City with an "injury" that hadn't bothered him before and mysteriously disappeared when he moved. I have no doubts had Shay Given said "I want to finish the job at Newcastle" that Man City would have waited until the summer for him, I mean they hadn't bothered trying to get any other keeper in when it looked like Shay was going to stay here did they? But I reckon that it had already been decided at the start of January that Shay would join City, that Shay and City had it all agreed and that he just had to get Ashley to agree to a fee. Or maybe ashley and llambias pulled him out because they were worried about him getting injured? Suddenly Ashley and co are not the bad guys, eh? It would be typical of ashley and that liar llambias to pin it on Given. The rest is also unfounded, total bollocks. How? The quotes are all in this thread and the other Given bottler thread, showing that he said he was happy, then his lawyer made his "Statement" and the rest as they say is history! Who said Ashley and Co are not bad guys, but the squad who played in 2008/2009 need to shoulder some blame for us being relegated. Shay Given bottled it, and went where the money was. He obviously changed his mind after the liverpool defeat. What's so baffling about that?? Given said during his first man city press conference that the club made him do things that he didn't want to do. You can workout what he was talking about, right? (If not, read my previous post again!) I wonder why the Given haters are turning a blind eye on this one. All this argument about a player waiting until the end of the season to move on is just bollocks anyway. The closest transfer window was in january, why stay for longer when you're not happy with the direction the club is taking? Do you think he's a fool or something? No...he's a bloody world class keeper with a bit of ambition. And he didn't leave for the money (not solely anyway), he left because man city had far bigger ambitions than us. It's so bloody obvious, ffs! Would you be saying the same thing had he moved to man utd, arsenal etc? Or don't they pay well enough? What job to finish at Newcastle?? To save us from relegation? What.... in december and january we were in a relegation fight?? To qualify for Europe? What nonesense is this? It's obvious.... the club was going nowhere, so he decided to leave! Simple! Bloody hell, how much did you drink over Christmas 2008? Enough to blank your memory for the whole of January? Given shafted us big style. There were plenty of us worried in January 2009 and as a senior member of the squad Shay Given would have known that we had a tough 4 months ahead. He fucked off to city, after trying to hold Newcastle to ransom for a fucking loyalty fee (despite him handing a transfer request in when he lost his place earlier on in his Newcastle career) just so he could jump ship to the latest big-money club. The way he went about leaving Newcastle was an absolute joke. And what had the club asked him to do? Become a paedophile? Beat up his father? Shag his missus' sister? No, he was being paid an awful lot of money to be a goalkeeper and he went off to man city for nothing more than the money. I would love to see Buffon come in and relegate Shay to the bench. Nice spin.

Tottenham fans' cheers for that goal was even louder than for theirs. Sad cunts.

You don't need to an ITK to realise that.

Nolan "And this is how Carroll smacked Taylor in the head! HAHAHAHAHA!!" Carroll "Nah man, it was more like this!" Raylor "Andy, that's gay, mate." Routledge (To Raylor) "Hehehe....true, mate."
