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.

Houghton

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

If all else fails, perhaps it'll be on the screens at the JJB

i wouldn't say nice but it's a damn sight better than many are making out. i pretty much doubt anything would have been made of it had we finished 5th last season but at the moment there is an air of "rip the piss" about the club even when there is little ground for it. (and f*** knows the club have given plenty of legit reasons for ripping the piss) It’s a question of taste, namely only those with none will wear the new away kit. The team wore black shorts yesterday, which looked a bit better/less worse. Well, full yellow kit = 100% win. Yellow kit with black shorts = 6-1 loss to Leyton Orient.

Acuna. Or Sibierski. McClen. Possibly Cort. Darren Ambrose interests me...

Dunno why anyone would bid for him at the moment tbh Horribly unprofessional fat mess of a footballer.

I'm waiting for BBC to get outside of SJP and interview some mong. "The horriblest result we've ever had"

Today's result has made me want this kit more in some fucked up way. It's in more of a 'no matter what, I'll continue to support this piece of shit football club' kinda statement. Relegation, Mike Ashley, Administration, Consecutive Relegations, EVEN a bright yellow football kit. Keep on trucking. Dabizas 34 on the home kit, what for the away kit.. Hottiger?

It's not an exclusive thing though, see Paolo Montero. Sorry but Montero is a very bad example. He was a tough bastard but he was also skillful and very comfortable on the ball. He fits the classy ball playing category far more than he does the hoofer category. Fucking hell KD, I try not to be overly harsh but you aren't half being stupid here. I said it's not exclusive. i.e. A player can be both skillful AND a thug bastard, See Montero. You don't half bring on the abuse son.

It's not an exclusive thing though, see Paolo Montero.

Name me one partnership in world football where both cb's are left footed?.

I can't help but wonder how unfit our actual first team are going to be if the majority of our big earners piss off to Hull/Bolton/Wolves/Burnley etc

The change between this kit and last years kit is simply pathetic. Thought it was a joke when first saw it.

I think he's probably more interested in Millie Clode's tits tbh.
