We should be in for Amady, good player.

 

Both about as good as each other tbh.

 

 

 

give over.

 

amady is different class

Him and Lee Clark > Any midfield pairing we've ever had tbh.

All he knows about us is that Michael Owen plays for us and that Kevin Keegan is our manager with a history of combustion. Just concludes mid-table and rehashes some media hype about Keegan not being in control and Ashley being a bit suspicious. Clearly knows only about Liverpool and through sheer Match of the Day osmosis the rest of the big 4. Should have gone with Ian Wright if you ask me - at least Wright was good to laugh at.

Good.

 

Don't want him to get in the way of Taylor's development.

Obstacle to Edgar's rise to prominence TBH.

Who is Coloccini?

The article claims they are going for Abdoulaye and Amady...

It's not an area we desperately need to strengthen - we clearly need another central midfielder and a striker to back-up/compete with Fat Mark. Enrique is a very capable left-back, Bassong in theory can cover, N'Zogbia isn't great but can do it... I ouldn't mind signing a genuine back-up to Enrique after the two above positions are sorted out, but only as a reserve- Enrique improved a lot last year and can probably do so again this year. If he hasn't improved by this time next year, maybe this becomes an issue. But siging someone who will expect first team action will, as we've done in the past, only hamper the progress of a good young player with potential and make him unhappy. It's not necessary at this stage.

Daily Mail are running a story tomorrow that Stoke are trying to buy Abdoulaye Faye who is "unhappy" due to starting just 22 games.

Incredible seeing as he missed a month of action in the busy January period at the African Cup of Nations and only missed out when he was injured - he must have been really annoyed at the club for those things.

Next...

Go to the bottom of that wiki page for his interview with the independent on sunday, it's with my Dad! Score. Also, our name is Atkin, not Aitken. Twats.

Man's clearly just followed the press madness of our club as a looney bin. With Sky claiming Coloccini already has a number, it's clear that he's here, not in advanced discussions - Keegan today talked about monitoring him in training for crying out loud.

Although he is right to point out our squad on paper is very talented but doesn't seem to deliver.

Then again, the sentence "a midfield that oozes talent" with Geremi included makes me laugh. A lot.

Let's try...

 

I am 15, isn't it? but I am on this thing but just don't think because I have made a girly, rhythm based musical intro to my page that I am not on this thing because that ain't the case but I try (to) stay out of as much trouble as I can because good boys live, rude boys die, that (is) the saying I always grew up with but yes, skip that. (I) am trying to take football seriously because I want to make some peace f**k the street thing it is really long for me might shut it off now and again you see it but yeah if you want to know where I play, it is upfront dirty striker. (I get) about 4 goals a game (at the) minimum (and) maximum (of) 7 or 8 of them but my weakness is most definitely girls and my second weakness is losing. I flipping hate losing but I hardly lose at anything because I am a big [move]BUMBACLART[/move] man but yeah I am going (to) update this sh*t when I get the hang of it but you ain't hear the last of me. go away horses for now. Laughing Laughing.

 

 

xxx - waiting for some awesome individual to help in filling in the missing word

As a South London based Magpie, I feel obliged to at least try to translate this - our streets our littered with these fine folk to whom mobile phones are like a ring to gollum.

"I am 15 years of age, but please, trust me, because I really am on this (I think this is South London for "I know what I'm doing"/"This is what I want to do"/"I want to succeed"/"I'm a twat on pills"). Just because I have a strange introduction, don't think I'm not on this, because it quite simply isn't the case, and I do try to stay out of trouble as much as possible - good boys live and rude boys die, don't you know. That's the saying I grew up with - but skip that! I'm trying to take my football as seriously as possible. I want to make some peace, forget that street nonsense, although I might show it off now and again (for my bredren, evidently). Anyway, if you want to know where I play, it's up front - I'm a lethal striker. I get a minimum of 4 goals a game and maximum of 7 or 8. My biggest weakness is girls (mannnssss got get sum pussy innit) and my second is losing. I hate losing, but it's not a problem, because it so rarely happens because I'm a (I'm at a total loss as to bumbaclart duppy mannnn, sorry - I'll take a stab and say amazingly talented and handsome individual)! I shall update my page when I get the hang of it. Don't think you've heard the last of me!

There's a reason they called me Captain Streetwise at school.

In all seriousness, what an absolute cretin.

And we thought we might be getting a break from the media circus coming up with chaos theories surrounding the insanity that is our club. To be fair to them, they've got a new one. Tomorrow's Sun and Mirror are going with civil war breaking out over the sale of Smith: Ashley wants rid to cut the wage bill, Keegan doesn't as he's a smashing bloke. WAR thus breaks out.

You've got to hand it to them, they try their best. I predict by Thursday Ashley will probably PULL THE PLUG ON TOON because the government discovers FINANCIAL IRREGULARITIES but Keegan won't walk out SHAME ON HIM.

For links go to newsnow/read them yourself, I'm too tired to go back and put them up.

Patrick Vieira - diving, fouling, spitting, cheating, ref-mobbing arsehole.

Ian Wright - cancerous pillop on the anus of humanity. When he finally stopped playing I thought we had rid of that nasty, foul-mouthed, arrogant, abrasive twat, but now have to put up with his media hype and appearances on TV (well, no more) and his insightful spouting in The Sun, where he talks about, by and large, how great Shaun Wright-Phillips is. Total and utter cretinous twat.

Tim Cahill - I just find his face/general being annoying, I don't really know why.

Frank Lampard - insanely overrated, glory-bagging idiot

Didier Drogba - disgrace to the game/humanity

There will be more.

I remember when I came up watch Newcastle vs Southampton in 2002 (I am based in London), and my Dad mentioned that he might be able to get me Bobby's signature as he once reported an England tour with him. Bobby remembered his name and face, strode out to say hello to my Dad again and shook my hand, a shaky 16 year old Newcastle fan. He could have just left it there, but not Bobby - he signed my ticket, took me and my Dad to a complimentary dinner in the club and anytime a player was near he bolted up to get them and bring them over to say hello to me and sign my ticket - I met Shearer, Dyer, Speed, Bellamy, Nobby, Andy O'Brien, Shay Given, Aaron Hughes and  Hugo Viana. He talked to us for a good hour, asking me about my school and ambitions in life and stuff, it was just incredible. The next time I saw him was at Brian Clough's memorial (Brian Clough being my Godfather, another friend of Dad's) and he'd just been sacked. The man even remembered my face, and stopped his conversation to come up and see how I was doing. I said sorry about the decision and that I really didn't agree with it. He just smiled and said "it's football, and don't lose your love for that great club". He even asked me the score of a low-key Newcastle European match later that night after the service. I told him we won 1-0 with a Shearer goal. He just smiled and said "Who else but Alan?". I'll never forget him and the two amazing memories he provided me personally, and the years of great memories with what he did to my team. I'll be so, so gutted when the worst happens, I wouldn't be surprised if I never met a nicer person.

Club clearly recognises: see bids for Modric and Aimar.

I still think it was daft to get rid of Emre - yeah, had a bad run with injuries, but still best we had. Would have been happy to get rid once we'd brought a replacement in. Every time Geremi goes near a dead ball I walk to the fridge to get a beer/refill. I know by the time I've parked my ass back down the other tea mwill be in counter attack mode/the goalkeeper will be bouncing it.

There is a God/misguided twat and his name is Moyes.

The only reason the Mancs loved him is because he hardly ever played, and when he did he tried hard, normally when Man U were 3-0 up in a game or something. Furthermore, at United they have 9 other excellent outfield players at any time, As we have roughly 1 or 2 really top quality players, his shitness cannot be excused/made up for. If he had played regularly for Man U and didn't have Rooney/Ronaldo et al banging in goals/setting them up, I bet the case would have been different.

Furthermore, I think they liked him as an up yours signs to the Yorkshire folk.

He's always been dogshit. Each day that goes by without us siging a new centre forward, knowing Viduka is going to be out for the first month or so, makes me want to watch the start of the season less. If he plays, and it looks like he will, then we automatically have no points from the first few games. That's how bad he is, I genuinely believe he single handedly denies us victories.

So many players have had career threatening injuries and have come back just as good or adapted. Shearer and Owen anyone? Fair enough it was a horrendous injury but something's got to give. You can't continue to pick a player who everybody in the stadium thinks is complete kack. If he even got near scoring a goal I wouldn't mind, but he just kicks everybody, loses the ball or passes it backwards/off the pitch.

Honestly the single shittest player we've had in my time as a fan.

If Depor president has stayed in Spain until tomorrow and he's telling the Spanish press that we'll be announcing one out there... could the timing mean that Coloccini is coming?

Yes, the squad's small. We know it, they know it, they'll do what they can. The only significant player we have lost is Emre, really. Troisi didn't play, neither did Diatta, Peter "Damage" Ramage doesn't need words and Carr was a waste. I guess Rozehnal was a useful-ish squad player but I haven't seen anybody too disappointed with his departure and we didn't miss him. We need to replace Emre but if we got somebody who actually played games for us, and I was a big Emre fan, it would probably be better in the long run. By trying to get Modric and Aimar it is evident that they know we need a creative midfielder. We can't do anything about it if someone prefers the allure of London or their wife wants to live in a designer beach climate. Our only option is to throw silly money at them, and we can clearly see it got us nowhere. We will get bodies in, it's a fact, I reckon 2-3 more by the close of the window. Yes, it's irritating that they'll miss pre-season/the first few games, but the long-term benefit of a player over a whole season who we haven't been rushed into signing will outweigh the benefits of a short-term stop gap solution to appease the fans (Luque, anybody?).

Also, I think our current squad, while small, is quite underrated. I think KK will get them playing pretty well this year. Don't forget that our team when he nearly won the league had some truly useless players or players who weren't previously considered world beaters performing well above their peak - Peacock, Lee Clark, Keith Gillespie, nobody had really heard of Rob Lee... Keegan has a well-known knack for getting the best out of players and picking up good ones.

We will be fine. Rant over.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Alan Smith.

They seem to be looking for a replacement, so maybe this mad president fellow is using the time it takes to find one to squeeze a bit more money out of us. Once they find a replacement, see how much he costs, perhaps something will go from there. If the player wants to leave, it usually follows that they'll go eventually. This is exactly why the club did well to not leak Guthrie and Jonas, because 50 pages worth of useless speculation means not enough work done and too much hope generated. It's like that episode of Father Ted when Dougal hits the big red button: we just can't help ourselves.

Fell for that facebook thing true and proper... my word do I feel like a gimp.

I know, what a hottie. Just a standard digital camera, but my beautiful self did the hard work.

It is indeed me, posing like a twat by some fountain in Paris. Pardon my computer uselessness, what does "disable my sigs" actually mean?

What dog noncery.

Why, in the name of all things holy, does a caption picture of my facebook keep popping up on people's avatars....? I particularly enjoyed the "dog nonce" tag.

He's overrated whatever the case may be. Don't see what he's going to do at Liverpool - Mascherano and Gerrard are both better, actually would rather have Alonso in my team than him anyway. Think he's got far too much hype after some steady, nothing more than that, performances for England.
