Decent game with a canny atmosphere. We played ok both halves, apart from some comedy defending in the second - Ramage couldn't even cope with League 1 players ffs. Didn't look like anything wrong with their second and it was right in front of me. Best players - Barton, Troisi, N'Zogbia and MOTM for me, Shola.

Same reason Geremi's not fit, neither went to Austria so they're a week behind.

I can't bear it either.

I wouldn't be shocked if Spurs cashed in. His ability to put a decent cross in has always been questioned, his desire to improve it seems to be dwindling. Also looks like Mido will go to Boro if the two clubs can agree how the fee should be paid............ ITK mind-reading at it's finest. If he put the same amount of time on the training ground that he does clubbing, he'd be a worldbeater. I don't have to be physic to work that one out. Who, Lennon or SWP?

Has it? Oh well fuck it then, I'm off to play football. If anything interesting was said, hoy it up, save everyone having to trawl through shite about Rangers.

I understand this is happening soon/now, better to have a separate thread to that of the investigation, especially for those of us without SSN. Keep us updated folks.

Leighton Baines tbh.

Erm... suggest you read these and get back to me on that. http://coventrycity.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=885&p=2&stid=8366804 http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=42503.0

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/sport/2007/07/16/sfnnew116.xml Telegraph re-wording the NOTW nonsense, barely re-wording actually, more like a copy and paste.

Geremi scores a wonderful chip for Boro against Leeds, with his left foot too.

That's a shame for the lad.

I can see the point you're trying to make, but Man Utd and Liverpool have spent £50m each this summer already, near enough - both bankrolled by new owners, particularly Liverpool. The playing field has changed drastically in the last few years. If we want to have a hope of catching the big four, we have to spend - not £58m on one player perhaps, but we do have to write some big cheques. Unfortunate, the way it was historically was much better, but that's the way it is. Also your point about Leeds and West Ham is flawed - they didn't/haven't bought big names. Obviously we've not seen the result of West Ham throwing money about yet, but as far as Leeds went, their problem wasn't big money on quality players, it was big money on average players. West Ham seem to be following suit, though thankfully for them they've actually got the money.

Bit of a difference between Owen & Ronaldinho though isn't there? Well quite.

In fairness to KaKa, I said I'd be devastated if we signed Owen and I stand by that, we fucked up royally imo. Ronaldinho? I'd fucking love it. Hypothetically of course.

Aye, there's nee chance they'll get £20m for Crouch man. That story about Ronaldinho was just about the only thing that could have been more ludicrous than the Crouch one.

Came across it ten minues ago, spent those ten minutes in fits of laughter. I wasn't going to post this in a new thread cos it was such drivel, but now that you have... :laugh:

As Sima would say: :D :D :D :D Gahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!

:lol: :lol: Go and have a look!

Bump. Care to answer Vic?

Don't put yourself down, you're just big boned Vic.

And you do? When is Shepherd going to start his buyback btw? He'll have to get in quick, Ashley delists on Wednesday. yes, yes I do actually Vic, I remember when we established that Ashley was NOT the chairman of Sports World PLC, you kept banging on and on about how he'd failed as the chairman of a PLC because he was the owner and the actual chairman had no power. I'll drag up the post if you want. Now you're claiming the exact opposite in this situation, that because Shepherd is still titled chairman, he'll still have power over the big decisions. Can you explain that hypocrisy? EDIT: here is the post - http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=40533.msg853447#msg853447

And you do? When is Shepherd going to start his buyback btw? He'll have to get in quick, Ashley delists on Wednesday.

What's that got to do with anything? his justification of backdoor payments, or are you honestly on another fucking planet? Another planet to you? If only mate. I'll keep my fingers crossed though.
