All just down to whats available, plus the prefences of clubs and players, which is dictated by tradition.

This theory should be confirmed when we sign Anthony Le Tallec, Florent Sinama-Pongolle, Djibril Cisse, and Djimi Traore during the summer.

I'm wondering if Houllier is Roeder's unnamed foreign source whom he consults whenever he wants to find out how good a player he knows nothing about is...

Wind turbines are likely to be quite efficient in smogland due to the density of the air.

On the plus side, they must now realise how some of us are feeling about their newspaper.

I wouldn't be suprised if Oliver got sacked ahead of Roeder, given the overwhelming success of the Chronicle forum.

Young Player is Rooney, Ronaldo, Fabregas, Richards, Doyle, Lennon.

Could Martins or Milner ger a PFA Young Player nomination?

Duff is out for the season says .cock What a great season our bargain top international double championship winning left winger has had. And to think that we could have wasted the money on the defence instead...

I can accept injuries as an excuse for a slightly lower league position. However, I cannot accept such excuses when we are playing badly now that we have the majority of our players available to us.

Mirror as well: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/tm_headline=singing-same-old-toon%2D--%26method=full%26objectid=18910977%26siteid=89520-name_page.html

I notice that that forum has the old-skool smilies this site had. Any chance of getting them back on here?

He's been offerred a new contract, Roeder said a couple of weeks ago. Roeder also said that Edgar, Huntington, Krul, Pattisson and Carroll will all get periods off on loan next season if they cant get near the first team due to new arrivals. Thes people only get near the first team if 12+ players get injured, so I see no problem with this. They could probably be recalled too in emergencies.

Its not even NOTW, its the People, according to BBC anyway...

How many times do I tell people that there is only one use for The People - wiping your arse (but even then, I'd still prefer Asda Smart Price)

But, in the long run, what would be more valuable. 25 goals a season from Owen for the next 5 years, or a 5million loss? 25 goals a season (or whatever he scores) for the next 5 years, without any doubt. But that's the nub of the problem. Owen's contract only runs for another 2 years and under the new Uefa rules, he could buy out his contract at the end of next season for approximately £5m (assuming he's on around £100k pw). Don't sell him for £12m this summer and he could be gone for £5m next summer, gone for nothing the summer after that. Newcastle have to get him to sign a new contract this summer or sell him imo. Rules state that you can only buy out your contract to move to a club in another country. Owen has no intention of playing abroad ever again. Where/when did he state this? http://search.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/search/results.pl?scope=all&edition=d&q=owen+real+madrid&go=Search Radio Interview there, but he has said the same in even more certain terms pretty regularly over the past 18 months.

Furthermore, this is in the People. Least reliable of all the Sunday papers.

We had quite alot of reviews of home reserve and academy fixtures last season on the front page, but the guys who did it got jobs/started university and stopped doing them. Nufc.com and .cock also supply short match reports, but you can't really learn anything from them.

Manchester United have looked the best they do for ages this season, with a team that can pass, move, and hold the ball up. Owen and Rooney have never clicked for England, and I cant see Manyoo looking a better team with Owenin their starting XI. For that reason, I doubt Fergie has even considered it.

Would just be like going back to square one.

If I was an admin, I would sort out that semi-colon, it is really bothering me!

Carroll looked promising
