Owen? What about him? Replaceable & very costly, in hindsight a big mistake, a one i hope is rectified this summer with either Manu or Liverpool taking him off our hands, nothing would please me more to see us get our money back, we might just if them two clubs go at it for him, if not near enough £12m+ All I was asking. ^ Personally, I'd like to see him give us at least one season, but I wouldn't be terribly gutted if he left. Bit pissed, but I'd get over it. no matter who leaves you get over it. i wonder if toons taylor was saying buying shearer was a mistake when he got injured in that friendly at everton,after all he produced little that season and for £15mill then. as for milner whern he was on the verge of leaving last year,i'd rather have kept him but if he leaves for the benefit of the club,so be it....now that benefit would have to be substantial. Shearer had already scored 25 goals the season before, the injury was unlike him, these injuries are very like Owen, can't see how anyone cannot see this by looking back on both careers up till those two points. Owen is a crock, and crocks tend to get more fuked while at the toon, why, who knows it just happens. I'd rather have a player 60% of Owen's ability available 90% of the season. broken bone in his foot and cruciate ligament are "like him"...hamstrings,groins fair enough but not whats kept him out the last year or so But very injury prone nevertheless, not a player to rely on, not a player to build your team around, and for the amount we've spent on him, its what we needed for a club this size, just like we did with Shearer. http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2063385,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=5 /\ The adverts under the article say it all really, one for BUPA, and the other for Anthony Hopkins new film: Fracture.

Go on AZ!

Predictable.

Care to name a finisher of his calibre (there are few on the planet) who would be willing to come to a mid-table club? Owen is about as one dimensional as they come, very good at what he does, but not an all rounder by any means. Finishing isn't the be all and end all of a footballer or even a striker, if so we should snap up Fowler at the end of the season on a free who is by far a more complete finisher than Owen, would that do you, and while were at it we'll buy a CB who can only tackle, but is shit at everything else, oh we've got one, Bramble.

He reminds me of Beardsley for some reason, the posture i think when running and the amount of effort giving each game. If he could sort out his shooting abilities, i'd have him through the centre creating, i know he's tried there before, and that before us it was his natural position, but i think he'll end up back there either Scholes type creating, or a bit further forward and become a proper link up and goalscorer in his own right. Either which way, he's a mint player and i'm so glad he's ours and not Villa's. Given, Taylor, Zoggy, Milner & Martins are the only 1st team players i would be gutted to see leave this club, the rest are replaceable, crap or past it.

You give yourself far too much credit tbh.

Portsmouth have a canny team this year.

Yep, that's what he was pretending to be, don't say you fell for it?

Quite possibly, although i reckon he wants to bring in a couple more big signings (Hargreaves & Torres/Villa) and leave with a slightly more capable team. If he wins the treble though, i reckon he's gone.

He's on the verge of retiring, although when he does, we will find out about it about two days after the last game of the season, which season know one knows but he wont announce it with a season to go again and watch his team fall apart like last time.

Makes sense, you talk shit and know fuk all about football, makes perfect sense tbh. mackems.gif

Chelsea will get Hiddink, so could be even better, Manu will throw money at their new manager to give them the best start but Arsenal will be clueless without Wenger imo. If he leaves at the end of his current contract with the club nearing transition then a lot of the youngster will want to follow or find it difficult to complete their education under a new man with different ideas. Saying that, he may for me even be off in the summer, just think this poor season, along with Dein going & even more speculation of his top stars going i think he might just think fuk it i've had enough, am off to Madrid for some sun and a rebuild with mass amounts of cash.

Got Got Got Got NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going rate for the toon badge at our school was the number 1 sticker or 3 shinies John Wark was the one every fuker had in our school. You didn't have to walk for 20 seconds without seeing his face stuck on somewhere as people just threw him away as they had that many of him. and what a face...........reckon someone at pannini had a sick sense of humour Just goole imaged, two results for panini & John Wark, but neither are the sticker i remember.

he's here bacause no other cunt wanted the job. end of. what sort of cunt would you be anyway if you can't get yourself motivated in the last stages of the UEFA cup. Where has this ridiculous idea that if Roeder never said a word the team would automatically play shite come from? self motivation of NUFC payers has been raised by pundits who know what the fuck they are talking about time after time after time, but it gets conveniently ignored in the face of stupidity Talking about the signing of players here what attracted Duff, Martins and Solano then? Money, desperation & familiarity.

Nobody has belief in GR, certainly not the fans, and i'm adamant he's also lost the dressing room now bar a couple of players. Who would want to play for him, why on earth would you give this man your heart and soul?

I've said this exact thing about GR before, who the fuk is he and why would a player want to join our club for him? He has no pulling power whatsoever, he's the geek that never got picked for a dance at the school disco, he looks, act and talks like a Physics teacher FFS! We need charm and charisma at this club, god knows the fat cunt has none, at least the manager should have some. Could you imagine GR trying to motivate you? He's like the inept boss who makes a tit of himself trying to motivate his staff, clearly talking bollocks and doesn't believe in himself or what he is saying.

Why would Houllier leave Lyon to come here and be a glorified scout?

No because Milner doesn't run fast enough and Martins is 29
