STM

I have my doubts over this TBH. He seems to have been linked with loads of clubs Liverpool and Spurs included recently. In fact didn't MJ claim that he was going to sign for spurs? He will be on the next flight here then.

That's the way reporters work around here. They bug everyone except the Pope. Once they actually followed Modric to church and started bombarding him with questions regarding his transfer. You live in Croatia yer? Will you please tell me how likley this story is? and whether from past experiance it sounds like it may be true?

Not only that it's potentially the first transfer of the summer so it whips the "transfer whores" into a frenzy.

So the up shot is................... none of us really have a clue whats going on...................... or how good he is.

As long as Olivers not bull-shitting (see what i did there), then these are postive comments regarding the left back spot. http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/newcastleunited/sundaysun/tm_headline=heat-is-on-for-ace-jose-enrique%26method=full%26objectid=20799495%26siteid=72703-name_page.html Seems like KK, is just worried about depth, as apposed to not rating Enrique.

What does the fact they keep changing their strikers tell you?....................... that they are in poor form. Cole scored when he came on last weekend so i'd guess that he will partner Sears (who was one of their better players by all accounts). Either way, if Ashton doesn't start all the better for us, as he is their best striker (even if he is playing poorly). I don't find the prospect of defending against Cole, Sears, Ashton and Zamora that worrying. Especially, considering we've conceeded only two up against strikers such as Bent, Keane, Berbatov, Doyle, Defoe and Jones, who i'd consider better players. As for their defence, not many have managed to keep a clean sheet against our attack so i'd certainly expect us to score. But for me the biggest question mark is whether the midfield can be a touch more fluid against West Ham, than they have in the last few games. If they go out and dominate, we will win.

Absolutely, that's because most have had the chance to see how he fairs in the premier league and as a reslut think he's shite.

What annoys me more is that people point out Martins one on one misses more than Owens. In the period before Birmingham, Blackburn in particular, Owen missed every chance he got. Yet Martins misses one on Sunday, in a game we won, and gets loads of grief. The truth is, the goals per games ratio is the stat to look at. People aren't going to turn around at the end of the year and say "that torres has scored 30 in 40 games, but fuk me he missed a couple of sitters against chelsea". All striker miss chances, Torres, Owen and Martins.... it's the amount of goals they do score that should be debated.

It makes laugh. They couldn't even mention the match they were that atrocious.

Torres is decent like

In my book will at least spend 20m. Even Sam got to spend that and they didn't back him. As well as this we didn't spend any in january so that's a few extra quid into the kitty.

I swear on my life i never looked at it haha.

Wey don't leave me in suspense, who are the other two? Let me have a guess..... Nicky Butt anddddddddd, i want to say Enrique but because Garths thick as fuck he will have gone for Faye.

As much as i don't want Riise, if KK bought him i would still trust him. Think about it, Riise's form may have dipped in the last year or so but he was a good left back not so long ago. It's not like he's 31 and over the hill. Not only that, i think his form has dipped due to Rafa's style, being restricted from going forward. KK would bring him in, give him confidence and a license to freely roam on the left when played, unlike Rafa. What i'm saying is there is some logic in getting Riise; he's experianced, fairly cheap, can play left midfield and does have ability (albeit not recently). With all that said, i'd prefer us to leave Enrique alone or look elsewhere for a left back.

The only time the young-uns should be brought into the first 11 is if we get an injury/knock/loss. There's a chance we could pick up an injury for our last 3 games so they may get their chance.

He's a liverpool fan.

You can fuck off now

Trouble maker!

It makes a massive change doesn't it. Now i feel so confident that we can go away from home and put in a good performance, dominating a game and get a win. If Portsmouth struggled to dominate us at their place then these lot will too IMO, their all over the place ATM. If we get in their faces, the natives will get restless and we WILL win.

If he needs a lift, ill drop him off at St James next time i go home Not from Newcastle are you?? We have more dust bins

First time in months that a pre match thread has been made as late as wednesday. Line up: Harper Beye Taylor Faye Enrique Butt Geremi Barton Owen Viduka Martins Fancy us to pile a bit of misery on West Ham, don't think we will lose TBH. We are good confident form and i think they will struggle to stop our front 3 scoring. Prediction 1-2 Owen, Martins, Ashton

Is this the hearing that could potentially send him down or is it some sort of preliminary hearing? Aint until June he gets the verdict/sentence.

Love the way we've been linked with Riise since january yet SSN wait until he scores an own goal before linking him with us. Twats.

I love the way Butt's third. He was terrible up until KK returned. I remember a few games in a row where he gave the ball away every time he was on the ball. Not suprising that Beye's top.

Man City, in Souness' last game. I'd like to think i had something to do with his sacking, "Souness OUT". That day we got raped by Joey Barton. All our fans were singing "get your axe out for the lads".
