Nicky

:lol:

Is he from Stevo? There was a West Ham player a few of my mates knew and I thought it could have been him but wasn't sure. Quite possibly. The family link comes from my grandads side of the family, and he's certainly lived in and around Stevenage/Hitchin/Letchworth all his life. I have a feeling James's family moved down to/live down in London a while ago, but I don't know exactly. Pretty sure he'd have some sort of roots in Stevenage either way.

He's some kind of relation of mine (second cousin or some bollocks), so for that, I think he'd be a fantastic signing

Is this real? They had a story a few weeks ago about Villas-Boas wanting him. Probably just backing up their non-story to make it looks more real. Yeah. Was under that 'confidential' column, which is written by someone other then AO. Name escapes me right now.

Snippet in the People today saying AVB was 'angry' that the Chelsea board had failed to secure a deal for him for the January window and that we'd tied him down to a new deal instead. I know its the People, but still found it interesting.

Why is his penis on the table?

Cracking performance, again... What a guy.

Sounds like a character out of Snatch.

No Simpson in squad.

Guthries been brilliant in midfield IMO, constantly putting their midfield under instant pressure whenever they get the ball.

Ba abuse has to be down to his celebration. Cupping ear and shushing them all. Love it.

Agreed.

Surely no different to ESPN being broadcast on Sky's platform?

Donaldsons joined Tranmere for a month. Nothing else to add to that one...

Abeid hasn't played, Marveaux has barely played, Ba has been gash. The only one I'll give them is Cabaye & perhaps Obertan to an extent.

Ruiz would be our best player on Fifa 12 if we sign him. FACT /good enough for me.

Yep.

Didn't train today. Farewell Jose. Really, really wish it wasn't Liverpool, but can't help but wish him the best of luck

Didn't train, & supposedly off to have his medical now, so no chance of that unfortunately.

Just got some tickets to head up to see this, and with the news that Fabregas, Nasri & Wilshire all look like being out, I've just suddenly got a lot more excited about it. Can't wait to see Cabaye in action, and if Barton & Tiote both start, we should batter that midfield.

Luke Edwards has done exactly the same in the telegraph with a headline of "Joey Barton's Newcastle United future hangs in balance after breaking club rules on using Twitter" What a fucking joke. He's then having a pop at Barton saying the furore won't die unless he just gets on with playing football. No, dickhead, the furore won't die until you wankers stop printing false and mis-leading stories.

Yeah I was trying to edit it before anyone noticed I'd posted that. Too slow

*edit* Ignore

Sneaking suspicion we get Villa at home first game....

He used to play for Torquay. So thats a no then
