Why on earth would he give up being captain of Villa to come to Newcastle? This thread is so cringe-worthy with regards to names being banded about. I like the way some people STILL think of him as somewhat of a left back, every time he's mentioned. Hasn't played there for about six or seven years and the bloke himself wouldn't even entertain the idea tbh. Your point is also very valid.

indeed. That goal was slightly better than decent. Bet you there's 2 or 3 better goals scored every month in the Premiership, at least. Yeah it's a great goal but because it was the final and because it was Zidane, it's made to be better than it was. I mean look at this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/sports_talk/1990830.stm Greatest ever goal in Europe? Was it bollocks.

It's a while since i've been as stunned by the quality of a goal in such a huge situation as theo's the other night. Fantastic, pity about the following two minutes. Never understood the bumming of zidane's goal in the final like. Decent strike but world class? Nah.

Spoils my weekend nicely, cheers Sky.

Newcaslte is voted one of the world's top 10 party cities Out of interest, is that above london? On one poll I read a night out in Newcastle was voted the best thing to do in England, above sightseeing in Oxford in 2nd and surfing in Newquay in 3rd. There was 10 on the list and I'm sure this was in a half-respectable paper/magazine. It's shit man, and I love the place.

Used to be Henry but I never see him now so not as much. Probably Ashley Young. I quite like Tevez as well though, despite the horrible team he plays for.

Spurs though the only ones I've got any time for are Arsenal. Offering your opinion on sunderland when you're not from the area is pretty pointless tbh.

I can't believe I'm actually wanting Man Utd to win the Champions League. I'd rather none of them did (howay Barca!) but on the other hand, it would be the ultimate kick in the teeth for the dippers to be beaten in the final by Man Utd. It'd take the twats down a peg or two.

My household celebrated that Arsenal goal like I would a Newcastle one. I fucking hate Liverpool.

Theo Walcott. :clap: Wonderful, wonderful goal. And that is never a penalty. Fucking horrible bastards.

What a horrible miss. Get some fucking hair extensions Adebayor man.

He's no Ashton like.

Fucking get in Arsenal, howay lads. Love to see them win the tournament but this match will do for the time being. Another howler from the sweepa keepa extraordinaire.

If it's an interview, it's an interview! the fact that it's from Newcastle World has nothing to do with anything. I wouldnt be surprised at all if the players are buzzing!! are you? its like reading a kids mag man Newcastle World is just the beano of websites, full of propaganda and utter shite. Are you thinking of the official site in general? World is a subscription service working alongside the main website which shows highlights and interviews with the manager/players. There's nothing to read as such on World.

Are you people fucking dense or what?

Not saying I wouldn't take Deco btw, but not in the above hypothetical situation and damn sure not for £15m.

Were you wanting us to sign Kevin Gallen instead of Ferdinand? What a bizarre comparison. Not really, Ferdinand was at the age where he was unlikely to get any better and Gallen was the next big thing at the time. You say people are short sighted to say Deco is better than Bentley, well I think it's ignorant to not appreciate what a player of Deco's ability could bring to this club even if it was for only 2 or 3 years, like what Beardsley brought to this club when he came back. Gallen was the next big thing? Perhaps it was before your time. No it was just bollocks.

Will Chelsea fans be sending death threats to their own player now?

Bet Aston Villa don't wish they'd signed Figo, Rivaldo, Beckham or Pires ahead of Ashley Young. Should Liverpool have gone for Torres or Raul? There must be dozens of once great players Man Utd could have signed for a two year fix ahead of Carrick, Nani or Anderson. That's without even mentioning Wenger. Just saying Deco because "he's better than Bentley" is frighteningly short sighted imo. How good was Deco at 23?

Too much emphasis is placed on individual coaching staff if you ask me. No reason to think Hughton's not doing a canny job but I reckon a formation change, two of our best players returning, two of our worst players being dropped, a new mentality, fitter players, a settled side and bagfuls of returning confidence can't have done much harm either. It's not like anyone even knows what he does. I remember we kept a couple of clean sheets under Roeder and everyone was bumming Pearson's "defensive coaching". Problem is that when we go on a bad run, it's turned round and suddenly it's Hughton's fault. Remember the stick John Carver got?

I like Emre as a player but he's got to go. Not much doubt about that imo.
