I have £20 on Chelsea Blackburn QPR Notts County Celtic West Brom Have not worked out the return. its not looking that great atm.

1-1 83rd min.

Hollands left winger Elia looked superb in his little cameo, electric pace, plenty of skill, strong and took his goal very well... never heard of him before tonight.

Huh? Have you seen him strike a ball?

Already i want Heskey off the pitch.

Don't agree with any of that. Everyone wanted Luque and Hugo Viana to succeed. We gave Jose Enrique time and have never jumped on his back. Bassong we all thought highly of.

..and Lescott again losing his man.

Because he's garbage? His club form would suggest otherwise tbh. Would it? Whenever I've seen him for Liverpool, his defending's been typically hilarious. He has been their best player.

He played effectively every game last season and was arguably our worst player.. we judged Kinnear on the performances of 15-20 games why cant we be as critical with Colo?

whats happened?

Even with Modric fubared? Bentley could do a job for Tottenham now. Bids are in for Krancjar and Petrov, nothing agreed yet. Another bid for Muntari, straight cash, Mourinho wants JJ included, Osman Chavez said to be joining on loan. If that lot is true, and it's not being said by just one person, then Arry really has got his wheeling and dealing hat on. Oh, also being said Gio is going back to Ipswich. No official statement but the OS is listing him as gone for a second spell for 09/10 season. Stop. right. there. You must be the worlds biggest f***ing dunce if for ONE MINUTE you actually buy the medias bullshit claims about Arry being a "real ducker and diver in the transfer market who can wheel and deal some bargains". He's spaffed a f***ing mountain of cash up the wall at Spurs and no-one ever seems to notice it. I mean, the likes of Bassong £10m, Palacios £12m, Defoe £8m(?), Keane £14m, Chimbonda £2m, Crouch £11m must have involved some real ducking and diving. But he's a real wheeler dealer, gets some cheap bargains in does Arry. He's spaffed stupid amounts of money up the wall on s*** players for a while now, he does make some good buys but this whole wheeler dealer image is a load of cobblers. Let's also not forget the purchase of Utaka for £6m whilst at Pompey who was, and still is, f***ing clueless. Redknapp's spending pretty much sunk Portsmouth as well, look at where they are now after his big signing spree down there. They have made a profit on pretty much every player he signed though isn't that right? not to mention winning the FA Cup.

It's an invention of the football press, who then say it's come from the fans. This due to a few hundred "cockney mafia" morons. Wasn't it Freddie Shepherd who came out with the 'Geordie Nation' nonsense?

I don't like to boast but the predictions i've made on here have always come off.... 1) I remember way before Berbatov left. I predicted we'd get over £27 mill and was laughed at. You yourself said we'd get no more then £20m.... 2) I remember when Villa were looking the business and most thought they would pip Arsenal for 4th. I said i'm 100% sure Everton will finish above them (Everton were not even on the radar when i first said that) 3) I remember when Richard Dunne was linked with us. I said he's a calamity centre back and i would be hugely dissapointed if we signed him Most posters thought it was a ridiculous statement and informed me of this in a not so nice way (i specifically remember Kaka being one of them.) What happens? Dunne proceeds to have a nighmare season and is seen as the laughing stock i always knew he was. These are the ones i remember and i'm sure there's more. How about your claims Darren Bent couldn't play with another striker and is only capable of playing upfront on his own? Have you seen how well he's linking up with Kenwyne? FAIL!!! How about you wanting Robbie Keane out because he can't play with Defoe. FAIL!!! By the way Dunne has his bad moments but he is a decent defender more often than not. He's better than anything we have at the back that's for damn sure. I actually think he'll do well for O'Neill. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Fail?! Kingdawson has seen Darrent Bent play a hell of a lot more times than you tbh. You, of all people, shouldn't ridicule anyone's post.

Against Rapid Vienna at home? Yes. They won the match but lost on away goals. Villa reached 5th place last season, building a good, young side that has just recently beat Liverpool at Anfield and now he is a bad manager. Deary me.

hows that ? we didn't have the money to provide what he wanted,he walked. why couldn't he cut his cloth like the every other manager has to ? how,-- gratuitous indulging in Keegan bashing, then he returns , we are good,= they are twats. come on you understand this. it doesn't matter who the person is i'll slag them off when they do something to be slagged off for and applaud accordingly when they deserve it. i'll not defend someone to the hilt without evidence especially if i know they have previous. Praise the lord, sense at last. What's Keegan done he should be slagged off for though? Yeah, yeah he should've stayed with a lopsided squad when his pleas were going unheard. - Walked out on Newcastle, had to be persuaded to return - Walked out on Newcastle again - Walked out on Fulham - Walked out on England - Walked out on Manchester City - Walked out on Newcastle again. Regardless of what he has achieved, we can't just ignore the above. I'm sorry but what a f***ing numpty. I couldn't give a s*** personally what he did at Man Shitty, Fulham or Engalnd. The first time he walked out, he was making a stand against false promises and showing he wouldn't be walked all over, and it bloody worked too because he got the backing he was promised and we went on to great things. The second time he left on the principle of the change to a PLC, again over time this was proved to be the right move, because I honestly don't think anyone could say the club was ever the same again, all that change did was allow the Halls and Shepherd to milk the club for a lot of money. If you still think the 3rd time he left was a in some way or form wrong, then where the hell have you been in the last 12 months or so ?? KK has made his mistakes, no doubt, but he's far from deserving the level of abuse he gets from some ileducated children on here, I'm glad they are just a very vocal minority of Newcastle fans. Agree with every word of that

If Owen fails at Man Utd we know where he will be off too now then.

So what happened to this wage cap?

No chance. They fluked through last season getting late goals but now they've been found out. They'll be battling with Villa for the last Europa league spot. Spurs and City have overtaken them and they'll be the ones to drop out of the top 4. Oh come on, i hope your WUM'ming because that is frankly ridiculous. You must of missed the tonking they gave Man Utd, Real Madrid and most over teams last season then. Freak result. Real Madrid were awful last season and they aren't going to beat Man United and Chelsea twice again. They aren't the same side without Alonso and Gerrard and Torres are their only top players now. Defensively they are suspect. They only lost twice last year in the league and now losing one player it's going to make them a completely different team... ok! They are going to be chasing that last Europa spot .. based on 2 and a half games .. ok! Yet by the looks of it, they've lost two games already and its still August. So are Premiership seasons normally concluded by the end of this month? Just idle curiosity what was the gap last season between Liverpool and 5th?

Is due a return.

Wow.. a slightly better than average defender for 24 million, Hughes has lost it completely.

They were crucifying him the other week.
