Are we not allowed to mention the name of said toon site around these parts?

.... and always get it wrong, or often anyway. Just checked my facts and it's the European player of the year they award. List is lifted from Wikipedia, going through it would be hard to argue against most of the winners. 2006 Fabio Cannavaro 2005 Ronaldinho 2004 Andriy Shevchenko 2003 Pavel Nedved 2002 Ronaldo 2001 Michael Owen 2000 Luís Figo 1999 Rivaldo 1998 Zinedine Zidane 1997 Ronaldo 1996 Matthias Sammer 1995 George Weah 1994 Hristo Stoichkov 1993 Roberto Baggio 1992 Marco van Basten 1991 Jean-Pierre Papin 1990 Lothar Matthäus

Isn't france football quite a respectable football magazine. If I'm not mistaken don't they pick the World or European player of the year?

The players is name is Mirallas.

Me Confused.

0-0 Belgium on top and their striker Mirallas has impressed with his pace, movement, and skill. Manures new signing Nani has been quiet so far.

Poor guy only given £50M to "tart up the team". >

Owen obviously doesn't feel this way. The fact that Allardyce has come out and said this publicly probably indicates Owen and his people have been trying to engineer a move. What other reason would Allardyce say this for other than to bring it to a head and get things sorted one way or the other? Get rid of him asap and bring in another striker who wants to be here.

Yep, only at Newcastle. Sign player for £17M put in clause saying he can leave if someone bids £9M.

Considered acceptable in Spain as long you don't get caught by the ref according to Skysports resident spanish experts Guime Ballague and Roberto Martinez.

2 Goals within 20 seconds pf each other, one bringing Real level the other Espanyol. With tonights results Real still on top due to a better head to head. One match left, so yes it is interesting. thats a better way to put it hahah.... Well painting a picture with words was never one of my strong points

Unbelivable! Diarra just had a header if he had kept down could have been the winner. Both matches finish 2-2.

Agreed not what we should be looking at. We need technicaly gifted players not more fast but no end product players ala Kieron Dyer (based on what he's become at Liverpool). Also players returning to former clubs rarely works out. I'll always remember the goal he scored against Feynoord in the CL, thanks for the memories Criag but time to move on.

If they're that desperate to reduce their wage bill lets put in an offer for Van der Vaart.

Keep Martins, sell and replace the rest.

Can't claim to watch much Turkish league football but the few times I've seen Tuncay in europe he's looked decent. Can play across the middle and upfront and would add versatility. With no fee involved not much of a risk, if it doesn't work out we could sell him back to a Turkish club. On a free, why not?

No thanks. Would be expensive and would command a big salary and not the greatest defender.

Them 'boro fans are a bunch of right wankers. I mean when Woodgate joined them (I know he's a smog) we weren't posting things like, "wish he breaks his leg "or I hope he dies in a plane crash". Absolutely no class whatsoever.

A brilliant day for us.

About to kick off now.

What are you insinuating?

SSN say he's just arrived back at SJP after doing U turn on the motorway and is signing now That's just brilliant! If/when this goes through I'm gonna love ramming that fact down the gobs of West 'am fans.

70K? Seems like nothings changed if that fgures right. Same old Newcastle paying too high wages.
