Trial was supposed to start on Monday.

Has anyone else been experiencing weird font sizing effects recently?

Rule is don't buy a shirt for any player until they are officially announced. Heard a rumour that Beye is switching to 12 for example.

The fee is not based on ability alone, it may not even be the main factor, but little connection? I'm exaggerating a little, admittedly, but I'd say that my statement applies for all Newcastle transfers in the past ten years.

A forum is about opinions, you are perfectly entitled to offer your opinions, and I'm perfectly entitled to disagree with anything anyone says. I am not on NE5's side, your side, Baggio's side, Dave's side anyones side. I am on the side of my own beliefs. which are? all i ever really see from you are snipes Generally in disagreement with your own, hence your perceptions. I believe that we shouldn't really be shouting from the rooftops about anything until we see how well we fare in the Premier League next season. That will be the real judge of the decisions made at boardroom and management level.

oh hold on you're back are you? am i moving goalposts again? Yes, considering you spent the whole of last summer complaining about the club signing older players rather than investing in youth ala Sir Bobby.

When are people going to learn that the fee paid for a player has little connection to the player's actual ability? You'd make a terrible Arsenal fan Mr. Mojo. As far as we know, Keegan may feel that with Guthrie, he has uncovered a player who can become a star midfielder in the Premier League.

Not sure about this one, James Milner is the worst passer at the club.

I thought he had to do the shortened 3 weeks regardless? If he waits a couple of months its 3 weeks training, if he doesn't it is two years iirc.

As this thread explains, Emre is waiting a bit to complete his move so he can avoid military service.

Owen, Viduka, Martins are all good enough to play for a top eight team, but the worry is that the teams balance is affected if we lose Viduka, and if Owen gets injured too, we are left with the worst of our three strikers up front on his own, creating a very inconsistent, unbalanced team.

This forum does have Islamic users, and I can see how some of them could be offended. Tooj should apologise (without taking the piss).

It was David Craig who pissed him off at his first press conference.

Technique is a combination of mentality and physicality though. If that was true, James Milner is the best player the world has ever seen.

Sorry, but that's such a silly statement. You could apply the same to Viana, Luque, Bassedas, Kluivert, Marcelino, etc, etc. Difference being that Duff has done it before in the Premier League. We know what player can be found if Keegan can find his way around some of the issues that have blighted Duff's form over the years.

It's a fair point, but he was crap before the foot injury aswell... Nope, he was playing intermitently alongside a forward line that didn't suit his assets.

Damien Duff. His problems have all been physical and mental, and I think that Keegan can work wonders in those areas.

What the haters forget about Duff is the injury he has come back from. His foot injury was three times worse than a broken foot, and it takes players with a broken metertarsal months to find form. For me, Duff's problems have all been mental and physical, not technical, and if a preseason under KK can sort this out, we could yet have a very good player in our hands.

Writing is on the wall with Forster getting in the team today.

.com say Harper and Owen miss out.

Here we go. http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/7832/tantrumoj4.gif I'm not at all in tantrum mode. In fact I'm perfectly placid. From my perspective, it is you who is having the tantrum, and whom is attempting your usual bully boy tactics of trying to belittle anyone saying anything you don't want to hear. Doesn't work with me I'm afraid. No doubt you will want to have the last word with another belittling comment as you always do, but I will now stop this for tonight, as this forum is not about your ego, or my ego or anyones ego but about Newcastle United FC. Good day.

I can safely say that Mike Ashley has never tried to tap a player or manager up via the media.

You don't have a problem but you throw tantrums once you've had a drink. Once in a blue moon. Your last two posts pretty much sum you up though, someone says something you don't like, and you start resorting to personal attacks.
