I think he'll have a look at him in training then decide. I give up on him a long time ago

Allardyce said he wants four or five players as it stands plus he said he'll need to replace some outgoing players.

Nolan is a very good mifielder and is exactly the sort of player we should be looking at. Anelka is a twat, but nobody can doubt his quality. The only way i can see us going for him is if Owen or Martins go. Or if both went then maybe Anelka and Bent?

They could make it out of jelly and we'd still pick up injuries. Them days are over now blueyes.gif

Carr and Babayaro have absolutely no chance of lasting here and thats not just down to their limited ability. Does anyone really think they will get through one of Big Sam's training and fitness sessions?

I definitely think theres a big chance of the Smogs being in a relegation battle. Viduka will probably be away. I don't wish injury on Woody though. Hope he has a great 7-8 years ahead of him now. He'll be away from Boro anyway in 2 years maximum imo.

Scored against Bradford in the Worthington Cup at SJP as well i think, when Shearer scored twice.

Maybe Shepherd released the info about the clause via a 3rd party because he wants him of the wage bill, and now he's coming out and saying this stuff about wanting Owen to stay to cover his backside

SHEARER WILL KILL KEANE

Drunk on a Tuesday neet. Good stuff.

By clean slate i think he will mean disciplinary problems over the past few weeks are in the past, rather than every player at the club is gonna stay here with a clean slate. He will know in his own mind who is good enough and who is not.

I wonder if he'll do what Roeder planned to do with the youngsters and loan them out. Hopefully he brings enough players in to be able to do this. I think he will have a good look at Andy Carroll. Bulk him up a bit and he might turn out to be a very useful player for Allardyce in a year or two.

Would make my fucking season if West Ham got deducted 20 points and finished 19th, with Sunderland 20th Can't see it somehow though.

"Off topic but while we're on the subject". That didn't make sense actually

Off topic here but while we're on the subject of Manure players, would anyone take Smith? He's back to full fitness and he's looking good. I don't know if Manure will sell him but if they sign a new striker its a possibility. I would take him for the right price.

Well if its too late to take points of them this season then give the bastards a -20 point start next season. See what players they attract then.

Anyone backing Sunderland or Boro to go down then? Obviously we will have to wait until signings are made before we can judge anyone like. While i can see Keane maybe being able to sign some of Manures players like O'Shea, Fletcher and Richardson who are not great players but who should be able to see them through and would play for Keane, i can't see many players who would be attracted to going to the smoggies. Woody obviously went there but he is a Boro lad and he has had a brilliant season in terms of performances and fitness for them so you can't blame him. If they lose Viduka though i can't see them being able to replace him. Theres nothing attractive Boro have to offer a player really. Only thing they've got going for them is a great chairman.

I think they'll make a decent start then when the christmas period kicks in they'll hit reality. I think they will finish above Boro though. I'm not convinced that Southgate has what it takes to be a Premiership manager. As much as i hate the cunt Keane has something about him what makes me think he could well make a top manager. Southgate doesn't seem to have much about him imo anyway.

this may be totally off point or raised 100 times before but if we get some obsure signings and turn into a totally continental side with little to no english players in there would you be disappointment? I dont really mind as the league has been going this way for some time but i do feel a little proud that we do manage to field some english or uk players week in week out. Wouldn't be disappointed if they improve the team. We've got some good british players at the club who will be here next season. I think Given, Taylor, Milner, Parker, Butt, Duff and Owen may well stay here. A couple of them haven't performed this season but i think Allardyce can get them playing again. At the end of the day its not the player in the shirt who is the important thing, its the badge. I'd actually we rather signed a few obscure cheap players who improve the team, than pay £8m for an overpriced british player who is no better or not as good in some cases.

Just heard him on the radio say he feels we need 4 or 5 quality players brought in, plus replacements for any players who leave.

For the first time in a number of years the majority of our fans are 100% behind our manager i think. Even some people who wanted someone else rather than him have been won over by the very encouraging stuff he's come out with today. Fat Fred wants to be very careful how he handles Oliver now. Allardyce won't take any shit and won't take being undermined.

Picture of god in the new toon top on the official website as well but can't link it on here.

hehe yeah bit silly....but i guess not.... So funny because he is right, but it's just one of the things you can't really say. Why? Don't get me wrong, we all agree and he's 100% right, but you don't slag your team mates off to the media. To be fair though it must be pretty bad if you get the likes of Given, Harper and Butt coming out and saying that sort of stuff. They are all good pro's and aren't ones to come out in the media and cause shite.

I think Moore, Babayaro, N'Zogbia, Luque and maybe Dyer. 3 of them can f*** off but i really hope he can sort N'Zogbia out and get him playing. EDIT - 4 of them can fuck off if Dyer is one of them as well.

I bet you don't get any of the players coming out in interviews calling him 'Sam' like they called Roeder 'Glen' as if he was one of their team mates.
