Just sack the bastard, if so.

Well duh.

Was just going to say the same. It's all over the shop.

They've never fucking raised the prices? Dear me.

With Harper being on the bench. Class. Top drawer Honestly though, I was thinking a Given XI versus a Harper XI. Would be unique and would probably be the only way they'd get a decent gate for it.

They'll probably have a joint one.

What a cuntish thing to do.

Seriously dun mind that for the greater good. Dick will be a more famous coach who can attract better players. Also, he is a winner.

Referring to English nighlife, he told FourFourTwo magazine, “Everything in England is shut at 5pm, there is nothing to do, nowhere to go. I just got bored.” There was that prank call done to him as well, remember? Where he admitted a lot of stuff about not being happy over here, as he thought he was talking to the president of Real Madrid. You could be right ST, of course, and he may have just been saying all of that to get a move to Real (his club, were they not?) but I'd still be mighty surprised if this story has legs.

He was quoted a few weeks ago saying he misses England So he's gone from nigh-on 2 years non-stop of complaining about the country and engineering a move away from the best footballing team in the land to missing the place? That's quite a range.

I thought we weren't paying big wages anymore, though?

And even if the offer is real, then surely we wouldn't have turned it down? Three players in their teens, how could we say no?

Did the sources really forget the name? Or does Oliver just not know 3 youngsters from Liverpool?

Surely this is academic? If Reyes and his family couldn't settle in London and at a club like Arsenal, then why would he even come back to England and to Newcastle in particular if the offer is real/accepted?

Find me a link to where the papers said we were dragging our feet over Gomis because Keegan wants Crouch that was printed before I said it and I won't mention the matter again. Also if I wanted to make a name up who we were linked with I'd have said a more obvious player like Riise instead of Kapo. We were linked with Kapo in mid-May, to be fair. It was all over the net at the time. I honestly don't know whether you're talking bollocks or not! Suppose that could be a compliment if you are fibbing.

They might have been looking at Loic Perrin, he's smashing on FM08.

well, aye, obviously. If he intends to do an Abramovic, and sells this idea, then they will attract Crouch and more big players. so you are agreeing that cash talks then ? I've never disagreed, have I? I just loved the utter lack of subtlety in your comment. make that a double whammy then Rich/Atticus/Janitor Andy playing silly buggers with my account, apologies. Quite amusing to have 3 quotes from 3 pseudonyms though.

Apparently it's "arrogant" to think the same as this guy who is clearly a decent hack even if it's The Sun. amazing. A southern journo praising the club. How many people get their knickers in a twist when they slate the club and respond by saying how much bigger and better we are than they [these tossers] think ? Make your mind up time beckons, and don't bother asking Jimmy Greaves how he thinks we've always been a small club Who mentioned Martin Samuel ? Well if a southern journo thinks Redknapp should have left Pempey for Newcastle because "it's no ordinairy club" maybe the idea that Newcastle are still a big draw isn't bollocks after all? Mind we shouldn't need these fuckers to tell us it. I genuinely hope you're both right, and I suppose the proof will be in the pudding soon enough.

well, aye, obviously. If he intends to do an Abramovic, and sells this idea, then they will attract Crouch and more big players. so you are agreeing that cash talks then ? I've never disagreed, have I? I just loved the utter lack of subtlety in your comment.

Given that you're referring to the national media, I'd say that's a safe bet.
