  1. Transfers for the next matchday are a bit of a nightmare given that each group has 1st place sorted.

    Milner to Liverpool?

    QFT. I'd rest a lot easier if I could get one little quote from Keegan or Ashley acknowledging the fact that we have a squad that is too small to compete in this league. So long as they realize what they have to do. Yes, lets sound desperate to buy extra players in the media, increasing the valuation of all our targets in one fell swoop. Do you think clubs are more likely to increase the valuation of the players we target based on quotes in the Chronicle or the fact that we have 16-18 real football players in our squad? This is information they might be able to access through a website called Google. Let's hope they haven't heard of it. Others perceptions of our current squad is irrelevant. It is very easy for Keegan to help our negotiations by declaring that we won't be unhappy if we don't sign anyone. The perception of our squad by teams we intend to buy from is entirely relevant, as I think you just admitted. I don't think Galatasary are going to be coerced into selling Arda Turan for less money if Keegan comes out and says that we'd be happy going into next season with Butt, Geremi & Milner or that our current squad is just fine as it is. It clearly isn't. Nor are they that desperate to offload Arda. I'm confident the board & management realize that fact, but a little reassurance might be welcome given the failings of previous regimes and the dire state of our current squad. Butt and geremi have big reputations. How can Gala know that Keegan is calling his bluff. They don't know NUFC as well as we do. And talking about failings of previous regimes, surely you can not be calling for appeasement, a major failing of the previous regime?

  4. Could this be the first small raindrop of a raging typhoon?

  6. Doubt it. Didn't France get knocked out last tournament without even scoring a goal? They beat England. Might have been Japorea 2002
  7. Then how in the Jebus did you get to see Gazza! Or Moncur? Then how in the Jebus did you get to see Gazza! Mainly videos, and what i'd read. But yeah Bellamy was good shat on his own bed though. Well this thread is: Try again.
  8. Thanks. Blatantly on the self-promotion trial.

  10. I haven't bothered watching the analysis mostly because of Fat Sam (Take that ITV advertising revenue, serves you right). What moment of madness has he come up with?
  11. Did Torres get a flick on the long ball by the way? He is my FF captain.
  12. bloody hell How does Sam get work analyzing football? How does he get one in management. Hated the Spain goal. Nothing wrong with it, only I know Allardyce will have spent the whole second half moaning about quick free kicks and short corners and not playing the long ball down the channels, and then the one time they do lamp it, they score.
  13. Great insight into Sam Allardyce's half time team talks at NUFC: "Spain need to sit back because they can't defend"
  14. Surely should have given it away that I wasn't being at all serious...
  15. Given the pattern for post-match news so far this tournament (Scolari ) 10:30pm tonight may be a critical moment.
  16. Link doesn't work, but we have to trust those Russian speaking posters who say that no reliable media sources over there are talking about it.
  17. Although the news of an accepted bid is an original slant on the story...
  18. Bellamy was cleverer and did more for the team.
  19. Bit random that French Internet is reporting it and nothing else.
  20. NUFC's Bellamy >>>>>>>>>>> Martins.

    Our Euro Targets

    Stranger things have happenned...
  22. I think we should rename it the Freddy Shepherd stand. End of thread. In all seriousness, wouldn't be suprised if when he sold up, Sir John Hall inserted a clause protecting the stand name.
  23. You can really tell how long someone has been supporting NUFC from this thread. From what I have seen: Given Beye Woodgate Albert Bernard Beardsley Lee Batty Ginola Shearer Ferdinand Subs: Srnicek Faye Speed Robert Cole Although from listening to my elders, the best NUFC team including players I have never seen play might be: McFaul Natrass Moncur Woodgate Kennedy Green Beardsley McDermott Ginola Shearer Milburn Subs: Given Albert Gascoigne Lee Robledo
  24. Has any team ever gone through with three draws?
