Colos Short and Curlies

I bet the conversation was started by Droopy though, probably brought up Bassong in conversation and then the 'we must keep' comments stemmed from that. If he had brought up Taylor the comments would have been the same

I've got the other problem - will I be able to get tickets from the box office for the Toon end for Cardiff and Swansea away seeing as my address is South Wales? Could always get them sent to the parents house, but running the risk of post delays then

Thought Marley was a bit quiet tonight

He had a £5 Morrisons fuel voucher so was in the Cowgate Morrisons earlier this evening. Spent the lot on Haribo

I can confirm that neither Shearer, Moat, Ashley or indeed anyone involved in the takeover are currently in Llanelli

You don't need me to point out all the flaws in your logic here. Yep. Maldini was a better defender than Campbell and Italian defenders tend to last longer. enough about the Italian's bedside manner. These days its all about pace and power, stuff the stamina its a squad game these days

Sorry for politics, but what do you know about Miloević ? Played for Aston Villa and was shite Went to Spain and became quite good

Found it.. 15th August 2004 (spooky eh?!) Everton 1-4 Arsenal. Everton finished fourth that season

Didn't Arsenal bum Everton at Goodison on the first day about 5 years ago? Everton then qualified for the Champions League the same season?

When'd you hear that? What does that even mean? They said that Lua Lua is linked to Southampton towards the end of the game. I've not heard anything of the sort. I'll try and find out. Was it not Rasiak being linked to Reading? Was said around the tim eKLL came on

Where did you get Wylie's name from? I read up on him and found out who he is but he hasn't been even rumoured to take over has he? i just plucked it out of the air like the rest of the lazy journalists, however i just thought it was an educated guess as he is a big newcastle fan, and one of the wealthiest we have that could work in tandem with the rest of them... oh and i live about 200 yards away from his racehorse trainer so i may just have a walk along and ask him if he has any craic lol Wylie would never buy the club. Happy to be a fan unfortunately

Due to the state of the club, in order to get the accounts signed off it is more than likely that he will have signed a declaration stating that he will not call in the loan within 12 months. Sets himself up for all sorts of legal action if he does this and the club went pop

50% of £50m is better than 100% of nothing though... What he could do in theory is sell the players and repay some of the loan he has made to the club - unless he has given a written declaration that the loan would not be called in during a specified period (and of course we are still in that period). My guess would be that in order to get a clean audit opinion he would have had to provide such a guarantee. Losing the wages would make the club more attractive, but the transfer fees received should not change the value of the club unless (as has been pointed out somewhere in here before) we are selling at figures grossly over or under what the buyers of the club valued the players at.

Would love it if it became a massive cult hit. A big 2 fingers up to all the press haters.

Not entirely sure we can get the SBRF on the shirts, there is an issue of exclusitivity, so unless we get a Randy Lerner or a Barca it is unlikely that will happen. I'm fully behind the academy though. I'm sure I've seen Championship teams with > 1 sponsor. Just under the players name would look class imo. I really couldn't see NR having an issue with it either

The Sir Bobby Robson Academy and the Bobby Robson Foundation on the back of our shirts. An annual tournament to raise funds for a number of local charities (not just the BRF) would also be a good idea. Of course the best tribute the players could give is to get promoted in style but that aint happening any time soon

Gerrard is world class. <Soz like> I understand why you'd not include him due to lack of International success, but does that mean the likes of Essien and Drogba should be disregarded here? Or what about the likes of Best, Cantona, Di Stefano, Litmanen, Weah, Giggs who never even played at a World Cup, should they be disregarded in laying claim to World Class status? Now I know the majority of them played for inferior teams than England, but Englands failings as a whole can be put to blame for lack of international pedigree. Drogba is worshipped like a god in the Ivory Coast, he's brilliant at international level. Colo's SAC didn't neccessarily mean success as in silverwear Isn't he worshipped like a god, because he's an absolutely amazing player playing for a nation that doesn't exactly have a massive history of producing world class players? Scoring goals against Burundi, Malawi, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Benin, Libya etc when you're the main focal point of a team's attack doesn't really go alot to proving whether you're a top quality international player? Not that I'm saying Drogba isn't, but purely for arguments sake. He plays well for them consistently, be it against Holland or Argentina or whoever. Gerrard on the other hand looks a different player in the england shirt Answered for me before I got a chance to! I take on board the point about Giggs et al, but Gerrard has had the platform with England to really stamp himself on the International game and time and time again has failed to deliver. Best and Giggs looked good in poor teams, as do Drogba and Essien. Gerrard looks ordinary at best in a team who should be looking at quarter finals at a minimum in each tournament. Thats not being England-arrogant (I couldn't give a stuff about England tbh), but England are constantly in the Fifa top 10 and as such should be looking at not reaching the quarters as failure. If you look at Gerrards top match winning/saving moments, a lot of them involve cheating. Give me Barry/Carrick and Lampard in the middle for England anyday over the sly scouse cheat edit: not sure I'm liking the abbreviation to Colo's Sac like, its one step too far!

I hate seeing Gerrard on 'World Class' lists. Never done it at International level = not world clas imo. Not to mention the on-field thuggery and constant cheating whcih leads to his 'match winning' goals for Liverpool. Figo in his pomp, now there was world class. Ditto the real Ronaldo (albeit possibly on too short a time scale to be truly world class).

splitter, nothing is too much Kept empty for ever. Black and white scarf and nowt else. thats a bit much. Also not what he would have wnated. Bums on seats watching the game.

Tear in eye over here. True gent right to his last. RIP Bobby

4 ITK's on 3 different forums. Don't go on KD's forum so I don't know what's been said there, but enough different people saying the same thing. Which basically is Huntelaar 'hopeful', Vieira practically finalised. Been a while since i looked at this thread..... what does "Practically finalised" mean ? Meant just that. Personal terms were agreed, just needed a medical. Then Henry said he'd never recommend anyone to Spurs, Wenger spoke to Vieira and it now seems like he'll be rejoining them. It's no loss not to sign him, there are far more fans against signing him than in favour, even if he is a leader whose attitude we could well do with. A 33 year old former great player now with injury concerns I don't think really improves the squad. Your midfield has never been the same since Davids left though. Class is class at the end of the day, 33 is no age for someone like Paddy 'Usher' Vieira, wouldn't need to play every game but gives the other midfielders someone to bounce of and learn from.

I would love it. Love it if we were owned by someone called Serious Manboob. Don't care if he didn't have a penny to his name

I actually feel dirty just pretending to be a Manu fan. Going to give myself 15 lashes to purify the soul

God you're such a glory seeker. I'm a one club man me, so glad Fergie has signed Owen. His 25 goals will secure us a third title in a row
