I'd play out my contract with honor, I'd like to think. I'd want to be a hero in the Toon, though. I don't think he cares one bit, which is okay for him. Pisses me off a touch. Players have way too much power now.

THis.......But I am very confident we're going to be challenging faster than people imagine.

I don't think Shearer knows, I think he is just putting pressure on Owen to do the right thing.

Come to think of it, we don't have one 'hard man' in our entire squad. Keane would win pretty easy, if we're taking this whole thing literally. We don't have a player who you'd say would obviously be a great fighter in our team. All the tenacious ones are quite small, while the big fuckers we have seem a bit soft. Martins would probably be useful in a fight. Gooch could punch the snot out of 99% of the league tbh. Was gonna mention him, but he's not really our player anymore. Still tough as sticks though If Big Sam landed first it would be over in 20 secs.

Somethng isn't sitting quite right with me about the current situation reg ickle Mickey and I think he is getting away with more than some who it is said have attitude problems. I'll be clear I think Owen is hedging for a move and that is why he hasn't made a statement regarding the rumours. He has in quite a calculated manner briefed his advisors to test the water with the press. And as we learnt today he's rather conveniently pissed off to Ireland and sharpish. Setting aside the fact that he is a great player and an excellent finisher I think Sam needs to lay the law down here. But what should we do? IMO it needs resolving quickly and we don't need this hanging over the preperations for next season.

Bumpazoola.

My thread ideas are constantly stolen it seems.

Yup and hopefully he'll make up some new ones.

English degree wasnt it? Yes Don't really teach grammar at degree level.

I drank heavily through my teenage years till all knowledge of grammar was deleted.

Also saying he wants players who want to play for NUFC & himself and not for big contracts.

"Reports last week of a twist in the tail regarding the managerial appointment, were wide of the mark" Someone put up what he says. Thanks.

He could say he wants to shag sheep and drink whiskey and add to his knicker collection.....He'd still be the right man for the job. blueyes.gif

Seconded.

Good player.

Let's face it he could carry a satellite dish in his back pocket and we wouldn't give a shit.

Fuckin hell!!

Well they should.

Unfortunately, Man City will be correctly saying exactly the same thing, but I don't suppose you are capable of saying well done for beating them to him - hopefully. Even though the georgraphical aspect could yet change his mind. He'll be here.

It will be for SA and he will be sitting there with Kaka.

Like the new title Dave. Keep it. blueyes.gif

Shut it TT.

A winning team goes a long way to cure a lot of this stuff as players are motivated by success. blueyes.gif
