  1. 4th

     

    Only got to displace one of Liverpool or Arsenal, rest of the league is poor.

     

    Spurs went backwards last season as a team - relied too much on Berbatov and have spent poorly (not on poor players but not on the right players).

     

    Bolton and Everton weaker than last season

    Pompey could do well but will probably start well and fade

     

    Man City and West Ham have bought upper mid table players

     

    If we get a good start and get the crowd going at St James then 4th is a possibility.

     

    Reach for the stars and and worst you might reach the moon!

     

    only got to displace Arsenal or Liverpool!

     

    Best laugh of the day, that:

    (a) you believe thats ALL we have to displace, and that we are automatically better than all the other teams, and

    (b) we coudl ever, ever dream abotu displacing them at this point.

     

    :lol:

     

    Displacing Arsenal or Liverpool wasn't meant as a throw away 'thats easy' comment. I've discounted Man U and Chelsea as they are nailed on top 4.

     

    Both the Dips and the Goons have wobbled into the top 4 in the past couple of years, therefore if one club is going to fall out of the top 4 its from these two.

     

    I've then explained why I think that Spurs, Pompey, Everton, Bolton, Man City and West Ham won't get 4th.

     

    I think we can safely discount Boro, Sunderland, Wigan, Derby, Reading, Fulham, Brum as being serious challengers. Reading will have the 'Second Season'.

     

    Have Villa strengthened significantly from last season?

     

    So why not suggest that we have as good a shout as any other team as breaking into the top 4

     

    (Obviously I'm assuming a nice season in relation to injuries!)

     

    Because you have made soem (imo) incorrect statements.

     

    if there is ANYONE going to break the top 4 up (and there almost certainly isn't going to be), i am 100% certain it won't be us this season.

  2. Horrible advert page on .com now. Not good.

     

    They must think we were born yesterday. Trying to rape money out of us. I will not be raped nufc.com, not by you, not by anyone.  -  Andy_M

     

    Not by anyone.....??

     

    Dissapointed?  ???

     

    Oh who am I kidding, I'd happily welcome sexual assault from Ana Ivanović.  :smitten:

     

    Always. But not about you being frigid, don't worry. I'm not ready to bring my balaclava and masking tape out of retirement just yet.

  3. That's it for me as far as that site's concerned.

     

    Howay, don't be so harsh. I'm sure they wouldn't have done it unless they needed the dough to keep the server going. When you're as popular as that it can be expensive.

     

    When you're as popular as they are, the money you can demand for advertising will pay for a lot more than a new server.

     

    Ooh, unsubstantiated inferences. Nice.

     

    Hold on. Did I miss something juciy?

     

    No, not really.

     

    Other than someone making vague inferences about an issue that they know fuck all about.

    Nobby Solano

     

    NOBBY SOLANO is ready to appeal to Newcastle United to let him join West Ham United on compassionate grounds.

     

    But the popular Peruvian winger fears he may be caught in the backlash from the Kieron Dyer affair which has left United and West Ham are loggerheads.

     

    In the meantime, unless he gets a late recall, Solano is not in the United squad for tomorrows game with Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium.

     

    The Chronicle revealed in our later editions yesterday that West Ham had turned to Solano after Dyers £6m move to Upton Park broke down in such dramatic circumstances.

     

    But West Ham feel that because Solano is now 32, they should pick him up on a free transfer.

     

    As a result, United are in the driving seat as far as West Ham and Solano are concerned.

     

    Solanos family are now based in London and he quite naturally wants to be beside his children. And thats why he is ready to end his association with United where he has attained almost legendary status.

     

    Indeed, in an ideal world Solano would love to have ended his carer on Tyneside before returning home to Peru.

     

    He has one last season on his contract with United and he expected to see it out before the latest developments.

     

    He would be looking for a two- year contract with West Ham, but Alan Curbishley says he will only match Uniteds 12-month deal.

     

    But if Solano does go to West Ham, then he will have no problem with the financial side of things.

     

    However, at the end of the day Solanos future now lies in Uniteds hands, but if anyone at St James Park thinks the Dyer deal can be resurrected then they are mistaken.

     

    Solano arrived in 1998 as an almost unknown player in England after Kenny Dalglish paid a bargain £2.5m to Boca Juniors for him.

     

    But apart from his 18-month spell with Aston Villa Solano has been one of the most popular and successful players with United.

     

    So there might be truth in it :(

     

    Yes, because a piece written by A OLIVER to back up a much-derided piece by A OLIVER fucking must be true.

     

    I await Solano's lawyers immanent statement that this is all lies lies lies.

     

    Doubt it will come though.

     

    Me neither, as if everyone responded to completely made up shite like that story, there'd be NOTHING else on the radio/telly.

     

  6. Shola is cover for Mark Viduka, not just a 5th choice striker. I believe Allardyce has made that clear. That's why he won't be sold IMO, unless we buy again which is not going to happen.

     

    Which is a shame, as he is not capable of being a cover for even an average player like Viduka.

  10. Players make themselves key. David Rozehnal and Geremi have done it already...

     

    :D :D :D

     

    a handful of friendlies, come on mate :D

     

    think back, how many players showed a bit of promise, but are now regarded as failures?

     

    jj, parker, viana - dare i even say bramble, the list goes on...

     

    its that kind of slavish, blinkered worship of players who've done fuck all, when combined with an inability to take off the black&white-tinted glasses, that has some fans still thinking shite liek Shola and the likes of Dyer will still fulfil their so-called potential.

  11. I used to put 20 quid on them every year to win the Premiership. I haven't done it since Sir Bob went and clueless came in. This season I'm going ew on them. At odds of 200-1 and a totally refreshed side, you never know. So 1st or 2nd. Optimistic, yes. Ridiculous... I don't think so... HOWAY THE LADS......

     

    Afraid you're wrong htere, that IS ridiculous.

  12. We'll play a 4-4-2 (because Sammy Lee will be expecting a 4-5-1) and get a bore 0-0 draw. I think both managers will be overly cautious and this will spill over to the player selection and last minute instruction. No one wants to lose this game and that fear will probably kill any inspiration.

     

    Its not sodding "rock-scissors-paper". :)

  13. Players make themselves key. David Rozehnal and Geremi have done it already...

     

    Get. To. Fuck.

     

    I'm not saying they haven't impressed, in the FRIENDLY run-outs they've had, but made themselves key?? Do me a favour.

  14. Bollocks. Look at ameobi's overall contribution to a game and it's mimimal. Who really expects him to do anything with the ball?

     

    i expect him to give it away then foul someone trying to win it back.

     

    at least when he looses the ball he trys to win it back unlike some players

    he would be a excellent player at portsmouth or fulham and other teams like them, i would love to see him start for us but with our good strikers he wont get his game as much as he would like

     

    You'd LOVE to see him start for us?? You must hate Newcastle.

  15. A very good comparison: Riquelme.

    You either take a gamble by building the whole team around him to make him shine,

    or simply just don't use him cause he's shit as a team player.

     

    At that time he shouldn't come to Newcastle, who's ruled by Shearer. No one will let Viana to take up the key player role.

     

    He didn't show anything like the ability to deserve or retain the "key player role".
