Cheer up Kevin Keegan! Obesssed.

They must be shit if Dong Gook Lee can score.

It's not that baffling. He knows nowt so makes shit up. Hope that clears the matter up for you.

£7m's a decent price imo.

I thought Puyol was about 35!

Ungrateful.

World interviews make me cringe. Craig Hope's like that tit on Big Brother, trying to make his "Geordie" accent as pronounced as possible and just ends up sounding like a right plank. They're all as bad like, my mate's got Boro World, it's like journalism done by a nursery school.

Still, rather believe him/them that some of the others who claim to know things. Have we actually ever established whether or not he has a reliable contact since Lil' Kenny fucked off though? FWIW I think we will sign Woodgate now.

Crumpy does just get his info off another forum though, you do realise that? It's everyone's favourite ITK, Whatever from Skunkers again.

Off the record discussion. People wont share information publicly, but will happily discuss the information between individuals as friends. Such relationships allow journalists to drop hints, without information looking official public knowledge. Well Nobby works for the Sunday Times, obviously very closely linked to the Times. Their hint yesterday (by which time they'd obviously know that Woodgate had already signed for NUFC) was: "Juande Ramos moves ahead in race to seal deal for Jonathan Woodgate." It's subtle, I'll give them that.

Funny that isn't it?

If your contact at work is so certain of this and they've got it from the horses' mouth, why isn't it in the paper? This is something that continually confuses me about ITKs who claim to know someone in the media - the media themselves never seem to mention these nailed on stories. Are they not bothered about selling papers?

Nothing has been agreed with Spurs. As I said 4 pages ago, given his circumstances I can't think of one good reason why he would pick Spurs ahead of Newcastle London, shopping, big city life etc. Sounds like an argument against Spurs. London's good for a visit, but how anyone can comfortably live there is beyond me. Maybe it just daunts me, i'm not sure, but i've never liked the place, far too big. depends where you live, when you live in a place you dont do the same things you would if you were a tourist Do you live in London like, Nobby?

Humour me Nobby. Fee?

4 days? Why's he been talking to Spurs then, for the crack?

I'd love that.

Nor do Tottenham, but they managed the other night by attacking and going 2-0 up inside half an hour. Arsenal look a lot shakier sans Toure. We'll probably get beat. So what? Never expected anything else. Their kids made us look a joke when we tried to defend against them.

Can't say I'm that arsed. The papers tomorrow will make out like we're all in mourning at this news of course.

Hmm. I'm worried though. I don't want them to be good.

Have to wonder why no-one else is going for Alves other than Boro. He has an astonishing goals record, shit league or not.

I hope KK gets a shake on. I'd like to have players in for at least the league game against Arsenal. I realise it's difficult for him though.

Yeah I've been saying much the same for ages. Contrary to popular belief, we don't need these twats.

spurs is north london... Sometimes I get the feeling that (for some posters) "cockney" refers to anything south of Leeds. York tbh. Don't equate me with Southern bastards like t'Dave.
