You really should check online before running your mouth I've just had a check on thetrainline and it says if you've got a "HM Forces Railcard" it will cost you £69.30 for a "Super Off-peak" return. Aka the least flexible ticket.

In a league with Hull, Pompey, Brum, Burnley, Wolves, Blackburn and Stoke thats going to be a huge shock for West Ham to get invloved too much. Yeah I agree with this. I agree that West Ham may not do as well as hammers fans will hope, but there are too many teams in the Premier League that have squads a hell of a lot worse than West Ham's squad.

Hmm, kind of annoying for Sky users. I don't wanna pay more, but I would really consider doing so if I can get them in HD? Setanta's previous coverage was awful quality.

In the 'next 24hrs' according to SSN. Why wait what is it, over a week, to make a second bid? And leak it to Sky before you put the bid in. Classy way of doing things. Cunts. They aren't cunts, i love them, can't believe we have managed to get £40-45m from them for Adebayor and Toure, it is like football manager when as soon as you transfer list a player they accept your outlandish offers! Great fees, no doubt.. but it's not particularly useful if you make no effort to replace those players.

I am actually shaking with rage having read that

£10m

FYP Another prime example of what i'm talking about. I strictly keep it to the topic but others have to result to insults. I don't agree with you opinion and i've stated why. No point insulting me because i don't agree with you. I tried to insult you in a fairly humorous manner tbf You are very argumentative.

FYP

I'd sooner have Bent for £15m than Crouch for £10-12m. Are you honestly being serious?. For one Crouch was £9m and Bent can't play in a 2 man strikeforce. What striker in world football can't play with another striker ffs. He' played with Keane, Pavlychenko, Defoe and Berbatov and has been utter garbage partnering all of them. He's good playing the lone role though for sure. People need to be less passionate over this. They're very likely to produce a similar amount for each team. Bent will get a few more goals, Crouch will add 'a new element' to each side. Either way, it really isn't a ZOMG YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS kind of situation.

One of the largest cities with only 1 team. edit: fuck knows where we are in any population list like. too many contradicting stats floating around.

So, how much do you want for him from Wolfsburg? I go with €10m Hopeful but achievable imo.

Who'dve known! Marc Hottiger actually did some good for NUFC!

and you can get lovely free trials..

Oh, and here is a list of the opposition that Peter Crouch 'established England International' has scored against... Uruguay Hungary Jamaica Trinidad Greece Andorra Macedonia Estonia Austria Croatia (finally, a good side..) Ukraine Now I know he can only score vs what is put in front of him etc, but his international goals are in no way proof of quality. He's a decent striker, that's all. Just like Darrent Bent is, albeit in a different style.

Nope. Crouch is an established England international. Bent just couldn't cut it at Spurs and is moving back to the right level. If Bobby Zamora goes for 5mill Crouch should be at least 20mill. Getting 15mill back for Bent is nothing short of genius. Darrent Bent has scored more league goals than Peter Crouch in every season of his professional career (apart from Darren Bent's debut season where he scored 1 goal in 5 games..). This includes last season. I'm aware that some of that is championship football, but the record sticks for the premiership. Please explain why this will change?

Bent will get more goals this season imo. They should be similarly priced players mind you. Around the £8-9m mark imo.

Ditto. Aye but I am sure we all held maybe a little hope that they were for real, having it confirmed they were not serious still stings a bit. No, no hope whatsoever. What possible reason does anyone have that gives them hope?! My hope died over a month ago. Stone dead.

surely no-one is suprised by this?

Everyone in this thread is an idiot who is doomed to an awful life due to a series of woeful decisions. You guys had the chance, you could've made it out. No-one would've looked down upon you, you're not even from the area.. You could've won title after title with Man Utd, watched an unbeaten season with Arsenal, you could've experienced the glory of THAT champions league final vs AC Milan or you could've watched The Great One run the Russian Revolution. But no. You got Nicky Butt. And its your own stupid fault.

mmmmmm that feels so goood

You need to have an option in the poll for 'Im from New-CASSLE, me" I know the poll is for non-newcastlerians, but I NEED to vote. When there is a poll, i MUST vote*. *unless it is actually an important poll. see general election.

Friday is the 31st, you can cry then and no sooner
