Are players who go to the World Cup for their country not therefore 'England class' etc? Assuming they are I would say that at any time there would be around 30 'World Class' players and it may be an easier task to name a world squad (3 keepers etc) which could then be narrowed down to a World 11.

I have no idea how good or bad this Odonkor is but it somes up the English game at the moment that a German International is available for £1.5m whereas someone like Bobby Zamora costs £5m.

Very good of them isn't it.

Strikes me as the Sun have heard too many stories of other fans starting to feel genuinely sorry for Newcastle fans, rather than laughing at us. Their solution: Lets get some talk going about us wanting Keegan back again, guaranteed to have everyone laughing again.

Quality contributions to the chat again so far.

Courtney, on Talksport, speculating on a 50-50 split in the crowd. He then said Leeds had sold 3,000 tickets. Are we expecting such a low crowd?

So is it generally accepted/hoped that there are still two parties interested? And are we assuming they would be Freddy and some Americans?

Radio stream online gone off???

I was surprised but then I don't recall him ever playing in any of these charity games so maybe he is not able to like Terry Butcher who has had a knee replacement. Any idea why Waddle wasn't there?

Prices through the thread are starting to get slightly more realistic, but even so I would honestly be amazed if we got upwards of £2million. This is the board who seemed to haggle Man City down for Given remember.

Who was your cousin, if you don't mind saying? Going by his avatar, I would guess Kevin Brock.

Don't be so hasty, hold out a while longer and you might get £590 out of them.

Would it be too synical to suggest it looks like he is doing his best to pick up a suspension?

I'm off to florida today for two weeks. There had better be some significant developments when I come back!

Was there no Caulkin article today then?

Nice enough shirt that Chelsea one, but just what use is it going to be away to Everton or anyone else in blue?

I have had to take a 10% pay cut due to the current climate. Surely this applies to football just as much as most other industries at the moment, probably even more so. And that is before we even move onto the fact that you got relegated.

I heard it Kinnear has been given the all clear by doctors to resume duties Don't even joke about things like that.

If there is one thing Tottenham do well, it's sell players for ridiculous amounts.

Any idea why there is such a difference in colour between the modelled shots and the top on its own? It's not too bad if it is yellow and white, but the yellow and err, yellow is yet another reason for the rest of the country to laugh at us, and justifiably so, its as bad as bolton's and everton's.

83-85 silver kit by a mile

The bottom line of all .com fixtures: So yeah, they've got it. It says nothing in there about them being the preferred fanzine. It looks more like they stumped up the wedge to reproduce. I agree, it wouldnt suprise me if the nominated 'fanzine' was some official club magazine like that 'Black and White' one a few years back.

I've heard two different rumours on radio today (TalkSport and Today FM - Dublin) about Kinnear coming back. Someone please please please tell me this can't happen.

There was a journalist on TalkSport this morning saying Real wanted either Evra or Clichy.

That got me thinking. Say Ashley has a fatal, erm, accident. Does the club pass on to his family or what?
