where were the nolan and taylor rumours ? or the kaka and ribery ones ? Thanks for a pointless reply. Work to your strengths. Seriously though, is it just speculative and people are jumping the gun? It's been popping up for a while. Sentanta were running with it on Tuesday as well.

Yeah I mean whats 11 years like you'd think after 11 years if he wanted to leave he'd stick a request straight in instead of going through the dance he danced. Its a strange one alright the way he went about it.You cant blame him for being fed up.He will always be one of the greats for me,gave 110 percent in every match.The second best keeper I have ever seen after Schemiceal Top keeper, love the guy, though he has always seemed on verge of wanting out, and I can't stand his builders suck he does before evey sentence. Would have prefered Harper to be the first one to make way but that's life. It's a shame it's ended this way but to be honest, I'm not that upset as I didn't want to lose the promising keepers pushing through from the reserves and youth.

We may get Nolan and Taylor, but I would be surprised if we managed to get Donadel as well. If we got all four though, I would be impressed with our efforts all things considered. with a saviola on the side sir ? A waaafer thin mint too far? Ah fuck it, why not.

Well played JK. Well played.

A gutted Bolton fan story says it all? I know some bolton fans, they been saying this for a long time. There goes your theory. Dont see this lot jumping for joy. http://www.burndenaces.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,515.0.html

It's quite mental, but I think you're right.

Tell me that's not an actual quote. Daily Mail match report. The man is a clown. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1131245/Bad-break-Magpies-Cracked-bones-rule-Owen-weeks-Barton-ten.html?ITO=1490 He looked utterly shell shocked in his post match interviews, babbling on about in'somnia and mytical contracts on the table, but that Geremi thing has pushed it over the edge. If that is not just Daily Mail made up bollocks, the man has lost it. We will finally be the first club to witness their manager taken away in a little white van. :-[

Owen's had a decent run of games. Barton is the crock. Well aye, him as well. /Would happily see the back of perpetually spannered Owen, Viduka, Smith etc first though...

Made a decent go of it in the 2nd half, if luck went our way and we had that penalty then we might have scraped a draw. But Christ, what is with our team and injuries. Owen is a fucking crock.

Well.... Arse.

COOOOOOOOOMON!!!!!! Lets do 'em.

http://www.houstonrockshow.com/macros/LincolnRape.jpg /christ that's more disturbing than I remeber.

Absolutely clear now Shay is gone by what CH has said, and that Ebonda may be one of only two coming in. http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1534909,00.html "We have never seen Steve as a number two and what he had in front of him was an outstanding goalkeeper in Shay Given." http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1534888,00.html

How long do you think it will take the club to turn a profit again so that player sales do not automatically get eaten up just to keep the club running, and we can move forward? Will we be implementing a salary cap to make this happen? Despite the worrying nature of our accounts, will we still be able to go for top class first team players beyond any set budget when we need to? It seems our new Youth policy is bearing some fruit. Which of the new players are you most excited about? The greatest issue, which helped nobody not least the owner and led to overeaction on both sides after Keegans exit, was the criminally poor communication with your supporters. What was the reason for your silence? Why has nothing been done to address this, and what will you be doing to rectify this in the future?

Yeah lets hope so. One for the future, still only 16 isn't he?

Let's not forget Mr Andrew Cole either tbh. He was flogged as part of a plan that the manager was happy with. We replaced the c*** with Les Ferdinand. You cant compare that with the Woodgate situation. Agreed. Getting back to Given though, as with Milner wanting away it looks like we may have to cash in, but hopefully we can do the same as Cole and use the money wisely (which may well mean having to hold fire and wait on a player like we did with Sir Les). Indeed but we could do with a couple of loans til the end of the season. Hell's yes. Or i'd be happy spaffing it all on Veloso or the like if available tbh. He says he doesn't want to move but he then hasn't talked to JFK yet has he.

Congratulations you've outdone Stalker! What a crazily negative way of looking at things. So the guy is coming from a smaller league and team and will be on loan at a big team in the top league in the world and could potentially double his salary should he earn a permanent move and you think that he won't give a shit. Brilliant! Quite, it's a mad idea. Whether it's us or another club, who the Dickens is going to sign him up on a big contract if they see him not giving a shit, with no heart for a fight?

I understand the point of view but it reminds me of the Distin situation, hopefully he's not as much of a mercenary Chin up. Even if he does brilliantly and gets nicked by a big club then we will still have done well if he helps keep us up, it would give me more faith in our scouts and there are plenty of other fish in the sea. If he's shit then we aren't stuck with the lad. Woohoo!

Lying cunt? If you are referring to him denying that he was our new coach, before contracts were signed presumably, seems pretty fucking sensible and standard to me.

http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1227633,00.html NEWCASTLE United announces that Dennis Wise has agreed to join the Club in the role of Executive Director (Football). Also joining the Club are Tony Jimenez as Vice President (Player Recruitment) and Jeff Vetere, who joins from Real Madrid in the position of Technical Co-ordinator. Dennis will assist the Board on football-related matters, including the development of the Club's Academy and player recruitment. He will report to the Chairman.Tony and Jeff will also assist in player recruitment. The arrival of these three new recruits follows on from the recent appointment of Kevin Keegan as manager. Kevin will be responsible for all matters related to the First Team. Chairman Chris Mort said: "This is all part of the vision that recently helped us to secure Kevin Keegan's return to the Club as manager. "Two of the conclusions of our strategic review, since acquiring the Club, were that the Club would benefit from having a football person involved at Board level, which it has not had historically, and that further senior resources are needed for recruiting players of the highest quality from this country and further afield. "Dennis would like to move away from day-to-day football management to a Board role and, with his considerable energy and intelligence, we believe he will do very well in this new position. "With Kevin able to devote his efforts to developing and running the first team squad, Dennis, Tony and Jeff will each help us to secure success for Newcastle United Football Club at all levels and for the long-term. One or two further key appointments will follow in the months ahead." x 1000 The first bit in bold implies that KK has/had total control but its sort of watered down by the second. Ambiguous at best. Wonder if this was intentional or just a coincidence? What was Mort's profession? Lawyer i rest my case I bet you fucking don't.

Some fine sentiments. Will do my best.
