Great quote.

SixTEEN points ahead. You couldn't make it up

>.< Just no. You're not looking close enough at the last part.

Clapped .. then had a little smirk on his face .. then proceeded to try and keep it in .. by yelling instructions onto the pitch This gives me a big grin for some reason

Rather have Catts

It was alright. Bollocks. It was an unbelievably good goal, for those that haven't seen it but got a smartphone, download the free ESPN Premier League app and you can see the highlights and goals 5mins after the final whistle. He made the Bolton players look like 8 year olds in a school playground, he had no right to do that in the PL. He ran straight up the middle of the pitch, getting faster, and faster, and faster, past 3 FOUR men, until his last touch which was absolutely inch perfect to put it between him and the keeper for him to poke it past him in his stride. Edit: Look VERY CLOSELY at his touch to take it between the two central defenders, running at almost FULL SPEED, he clips it up and over the challenge of the advancing centre back, into the the one spot on the whole pitch that was exactly the right distance between him and the keeper where he could knock it past while still in full stride. What a player. My word. My comment was tongue-in-cheek, you douche. Oi! I know! But it gave me the perfect excuse to stick my oar in to describe it

Not if it has red numbers on a red background

Blackburn until I saw more closely how he got past the 2 centre backs to position the ball the way he did to beat Bogdan, then Bolton by a mile.

Alan Pardew thread 1 is almost as much as Ben Arfa thread 1 + thread 2

I can't afford to buy one so I made you this, Hatem http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m5/TaylorJ_01/DSCF0062.jpg :lol: Get in The forethought to make a sweetcorn background to allow the red to stand out a bit more is what makes it for me

This guy somehow has been put in the shadow by that goal today. It's a great time to be a Newcastle fan again.

Wow. Even Lawro abides by the rule of averages.

:lol: gan straight in the ace posts thread. Post. Of. The. Year. xD

You're missing the point. Try reading it again. Nope, you have.

Without quoting the over-paragraphed newspaper style formatting from LucaAltieri, Simpson and Obertan were bought from that bottom club called Manchester United. Lovenkrands came from abroad and Sib covered an injury crisis and (I could be wrong) he was either free or cost next to nothing. Carroll? He came from our own youth academy

Obviously I didn't =) In that case, sign him up

Why though? Hoilett is as good as if not better than a lot of players we'll be linked to on the continent. He's only 21 and has been one of the best wingers in the league for a struggling side (6 goals and 6 assists). Great close control and dribbler, can create and score, can play wide or through the middle. Like I said chances are he'll go to somebody like Spurs. Well, for me that's exactly the reason. In a team that he's pretty much the only good creative force for, those are his stats - I would expect more. We could be looking at better players with Champions League experience for the same position he would occupy and for almost certainly less money, as it would be hugely inflated for him being PL-based too. I believe Graham Carr's got a better fit than Hoilett in the pipeline for us should Ba leave.

Fair enough, I can understand that. I'm just of a different opinion to some I guess, see I wouldn't take Hoilett

He was friendly?

According to RTG (yes I know), Sunderland are talking with his agent. http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=690014&page=1

Thats bollocks. See us at how taking players from lower clubs can work if you pick the right players. The reasons these clubs aren't already at bigger clubs, because their clubs at the moment can't afford to lose their players who are going to give them a chance of staying up. I admit theirs not many players I see down there who could add anything to us in terms of first team quality, Hoilett aside, their is though a few decent players there though that would be good squad players and much better than what we have. You tell me I'm speaking bollocks yet agree that there is probably only player a year from those going down to take note of. Your reasoning of players not being allowed to move as the clubs need them is simply incorrect, if a top 6 club wanted any player of the bottom 3, they would have them tomorrow if they could and there wouldn't be anything the selling club could do. See Phil Jones for one. I'm not having a go at people on this forum, and if I somehow came across this way then I apologize, but the lack of replies to what I posted tends to make me feel the silent majority are with me on this one.

Coloccini, Jonas, Saylor, Krul were all relegated with us and (bar Saylor through injury) are ever-present in our side which is currently sitting 3 points from 4th. I'd quite happily sit here and argue that we were, as a club, an exception to the rule. Even in the Championship, we were a bigger club than many in the PL. If you got Arsenal managed by Joe Kinnear and ran by Dennis Wise and they were relegated, RVP et al would still be class.

Can just imagine the thought process to posting that
