Need a striker badly, apparently Martins will be out for the start of the season.

Ownage.

Pitch made out of weetabix.

This.

Although it's pretty obvious he's one of their best players, Keegan was bigging him up a bit before the last game of the season.

Baggio reported that a week ago, and got shot down in flames. The paper must be right then.

Walcott's goal vs Liverpool? The one where he runs from his own half, a la george Weah. Look on you know where. Yes but he didn't score it.

Walcott's goal vs Liverpool?

:lol:

He plays for Man United.

Crouch? No tar.

Looks like NE5 and Mick.

Haven't heard that one before

10 times the player Faye is? You'd think you were talking about the best center half in the world, it's Richard Dunne,a good defender who's generally pretty steady but gets found out against quicker strikers.

No.

Ashley.

You're wrong. Firstly, Dunne isn't a great player. Secondly, he isn't any better than Faye. Both are good players.

If it wasn't hard enough keeping debates away over the old board in threads over potential signings.

Why should I? been a fan even when it is as bad as now, you do not go running away. Yes, will continue to support even when we are relegated. Anyway, i really prepare myself for a similar scrappy campaign next season.In any case, been expecting that for a few seasons to that extent it becomes kind of norm for us to be scrapping in the bottom half. Does not mean i am not a fan if i acknowledge how weak we are, it just a matter of realism and managing expectation not to get disappointed. This is partly why i am delighted with our finish this season as mentioned earlier at the start of this current season, i think i am the only few to expect that we will be in a relegation fight this season despite the "good" clearout; i said (which was proven right) we have a weaker team than when we have the JJs and Dyers. If we are not going to make any good signings, we will be weaker than before and only common sense that we will struggle not accounting for the facts our midtable rivals like Spurs will strengthen. Anyway, enough of this pple bashing me, i am just being realistic and to those who think we are still the Newcastle of old, get real!!!!! He really must be a true fan then.

Dave made a good point in the other thread, everyone's moaning about the lack of transfer activity so far but look at how the Emre came about, there were no rumours about him leaving to Fenerbache, the news just broke within a few hours and in fact the English press didn't even know about it till the day after. My point is that we'll be trying just as hard as any other club to bring in players but we're keeping them under wraps and personally I'm delighted this is the way we're going about it.

The prices have gone up.
