Yorkie, closet Spurs fan Lets see, Spurs have few injuries while we have had 10+ players out for most of the season. Yet we've beaten Spurs twice this season and are above them in the league. Yeah I can see why you'd say that they have a better squad

Sky is pretty pricey if you have the entire package. But the entertainment package which includes everything appart from Sky Sports 1,2,3 and the Sky Movie channels is only about £18-£19 a month (and you can drop that price further if you drop certain parts of the package like documentaries, or music or art channels etc). Plus if you phone up and negotiate before signing up they will likely offer you a deal, my mate got the entire package for £27 a month for the first 6 months. Also I hear that from the end of this month Sky Plus will be free to all Sky customers, even those on the basic entertainment package.

How can anyone want one team to dominate for three seasons in a row? Especially a small club that are only in this position because a Russian bought them and threw in hundreds of millions as if its pocket change (which is about what it means to him). A club who's fans now think they're the biggest in the world. A club that many people in the world also now consider to be the biggest despite the sum total of there recent success being 100% bought for them. Needless to say I'd prefer Manure to win. They're scumbags, but they aren't a club completely and utterly subsidised to a level that's utterly impossible to compete with. They've gotten where they are because of a great manager (loathsome yes but great) and a very well ran board room, and yes a bit of favouritism along the way. But at least they haven't gotten there purely through a sugar daddies limitless cheque book.

That's laughably tenuous, no suprise from the media in this country though...

So Belgravia and Polygon were local businesses?...

What are you on about biting? I was just giving you a quick description of the goal to show you that I did in fact see it. Oh and a winking smillie can actually be interpreted in many different ways mate

like when he cocked up against Mexico and let Borgetti in to score that goal just before the World Cup. tbf not seen that much of him though, looks built like a brick $hithouse Actually you've just reminded me that I have seen him play. That game against Mexico was the first of a two World Cup qualifiers against Mexico if I remember correctly? I remember the player who made that mistake (didn't realise it was him) in the first game but if I remember right he then dominating in the second game against the same team and the US won the match comfortably with a clean sheet. So hopefully that was just a mistake that he learned from. Been reading wiki more like I haven't actually. I remember the goal, he turned his back and the Mexican got goal side with nobody marking him and got an easy free header. He tried to get back to stop the header but couldn't and ended up hitting into the post or swining on it or something like that. Is that mentioned on Wikki?

Again that was Rossi.

Rossi was probably the first. Hes kinda italian too, not a "proper" american. Was that a joke?

Rossi was probably the first.

I've never seen him play but he does have all the physical attributes you want in a defender. Still so does Bramble.. though I am encouraged by people reporting that he's got a cool head, which is pretty much the opposite of Bramble.

it was only few months ago that we paid 10m for Martins! I think that £10m had been earmarked for quite some time though as for buying a new striker when Shearer went. No, the £17 million we spent on Owen was the money earmarked to replace Shearer.

What?!... Babayaro is an absolutely awful defender! Depends whether you class ability on set piece skills and long shots, in which case Bale is better, or whether you class ability on defensive skills, in which case Babayaro is better. Doesn't necessarily mean Bale wont be better, but from what I've seen in the flesh, he has a hell of a lot to learn. But Babayaro has a lot to learn and he's 29.. Seriously Bale might have loads to learn but that doesn't neccesarily mean he's worse then Baba defensively.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Its true, and its not funny, its sad...

What?!... Babayaro is an absolutely aweful defender! And for all we know at this point, Bale could be an even worse one. Ramage, Edger and Hunttington are all better at leftback then Baba so I really don't see how that's possible.

What?!... Babayaro is an absolutely awful defender!

You from the east side or the west side? The Birmingham game sums him up? So you are ignoring the 3 MOM performances he put in before that then and yesterdays? Well done, clown! Read the post properly jon. let me take a guess, your still at school Your post reads like the random thoughts of an idiot, one read is more then enough.. Also I think you'll find that a few clubs attempted to sign Milner even when he was in bad form for us. Since then his performances for Newcastle have improved significantly. To be honest I'm amazed that some people are criticising him!..

Do you seriously think he should drop Drogba? He's been there best player this season and has saved them in games on many occasions.

The promise of first team Football got us Owen against all the odds, it got us Martins (who would have stayed ar Inter had they offered him more Football). Just a few examples there.. I'm sure a lot of 17 year olds out there would sign for Manure ahead of us even when they are being offered no chance of regular Football initially. However some young Footballers actually have decent level headed people behind them. You don't know Gareth Bale or his advisers/parents so why even try to suggest that you do. Though personally I wouldn't want Bale for the kind of money being talked about anyway..

So you're saying that Taylor makes as many mistakes now as when he first got into the Newcastle side? Clearly he doesn't, he's improved considerably in that area. Citing one stupid mistake that happened four months ago four England really doesn't prove much. The likes of Tony Adams got sent off for stupid fouls now and then throughout there carears but I don't think you'd claim that Adams was a poor defender. Yes Ramage has looked comfortable during our European games, but then so has the entire side (currently sitting 14th in the league), Titus Bramble has looked great in our European games FFS! I think the problem a lot of people have with Ramage is that he rarely seems to do anything above average. I'm not one to judge a player long term when the majority of his games have been out of position though so I'll give him a chance. But still, if you want to talk about criminal lets talk about his own goal against Bolton "Pavs running towards me.. crap he's almost past me and I'm 5 yards from an open goal... *panic*... I know, I'll head the ball towards goal".

Why not try quoting so that people know who your talking to? Also who do you think should start ahead of Edgar in our current state?, the tooth fairy maybe? Finally you do realise that Edgar is a right footed central defender/defensive midfielder and he was playing at left back. Yet he still did very well.

I can see the odd nob head doing that but not many and certainly not a 17 year old kid from Southampton who just wants first team Football in the Premiership.

hahahhaaa, suggesting Edgar should be anywhere near the first XI when we have a fully fit squad :D Did all our injuries just clear up spontaneaously? Because otherwise we don't have anywhere near a fully fit squad so what are you on about?

I wonder if he's really any better then some of our youngsters though..
