Yeah I've been impressed with Noble, seems like a really good passer of the ball. I hope Pearce doesn't put that shyster Richardson in. But I'm not sure who else there is, Whittingham? Looks like NRC is out too?

The standard of goalkeeping in this tournament has been shocking. Carson vs Italy...That Belgian one who let in the freekick vs NED, and now this muppet. They've all got chocolate wrists!

Carson; Hoyte, Taylor, Onuoha, Baines; Milner, Reo-Coker, Noble, Young; Lita, Nugent

So he would have dropped himself for Roy Keane...? And that also says a lot about his opinion of Shay Given's abilities if he would rather have had Roy Keane in net

So did I. They must be signing someone. *Shevchenko* Cough Aren't they shifting that Gillardino too? Maybe someone else out there they fancy as well...Etoo? Henry? Corradi?

Tribal Football doesn't have a reliability factor as there is nothing original on there...Just have to ask how reliable the source of whatever they have posted is, which they normally include in their articles. They're not as bad as is made out - for example they were the first english language site I know of to pick up on Juve's interested in Ranieri (Which was originally in Gazetta de la sport), I remember years ago they were the first to pick up on the then preposterous notion that Nicolas Anelka was going to sign for City...its just their scattergun aproach and tendency to report absolutely every rumour that runs them down. I'm still willing to read owt they post, I just pay attention to where the stories are coming from. blueyes.gif

How are you qualifying this? I mean, Routledge was on loan, and Leon Osman is about 26... Anyway apart from the players on this list - seems to be naming everyone - I like Diaby at Arsenal. I'd love him at City, looks way better than most of the other kids they have on the fringes. And that Boro left winger who's name escapes. Not Downing. The other one.

Our best player just left. Signed for Pompey on a free. Probably leaves Richards as our new best player. Majority of City fans would say Dunne - and would have done before any recent exits - hell he won player of the year in SWP's last season here ( ) but...game of opinions isn't it. For what its worth I think Newcastle's best player is blatantly Michael Owen.

Turned it off after a few minutes to watch el spanish footie...Anyone who stuck with this offer me a verdict on the performances of Onuoha* and Pearce...? *and ya, I know he can't kick a ball in a straight line without falling over backwards, I mean defensively...

Great drama, I thought Mallorca were going to kill it off a little while back but credit to Real Madrid for not bottling it. Best thing about this game is that Beckham wasn't involved in the turnaround and the player who replaced him is the hero...should go some way to avoiding yet another fucking Beckham media circus

Jon Newby? Ya, thats the one...

"Roeder will definately be here at the start of next season" or just the opinions as fact? "FAMV will score loads of goals for NUFC" type thing? I was thinking more "Baines will be here by July 1st", "Mancini has been looking at houses in Newcastle", "Hitzfeld has been looking around the training ground" type facts. Sam Allardyce to take over Newcastle this summer. Now where's that trophy smiley.

Can you really not bring on a keeper for an outfield player? Even in extreme shortages? Seems harsh. Obviously they wouldn't both be able to use their hands like. Aye, James did at City like Greg mentioned. He wasn't brought on as a goalkeeper though. The substitution was Nicky Weaver on for Claudio Reyna. Funniest thing about that was Reyna's reaction, he didnt have a clue what was going on

We'll definetly go down if we don't get taken over. As it stands we just don't have the players to compete nor the manager to make the most of what we've got - Without the takeover we don't have the means to get either. Could make a fight of it if we shift Richards and patch a side together with the moneys, but we'll probably put some muppet in charge and go down anyway. Either way, the season after next should be fun...

I doubt it. Considering we have 4 right backs already, we have no manager, no money and at a guess, this guy is a Willie McKay special - every other player who comes to this country from France seems to be - and we don't want any more to do with him. Pompey, maybe, Glenn Johnson's gone back hasn't he...

Yup. And I don't even think he was a first choice player for Bury at the time, I'm sure they played Nugent and this old Liverpool reject's whos name escapes me up front. I don't think its as weird as that, considering this guy is Turkish and he does play for Turkey u21. It would be more like someone in this country signing Hargreaves. If he was shit. And played for someone shite in the German 2nd division.

£14m for Samaras and Corradi. Nuff said. What are you on about? 6 million for Samaras 1 million for corradi £6.7m wasn't it? Was it eck man, he's shite! £2m. I think Valencia might have "paid" that much for him a few years back (Instead of Mendieta's transfer fee that Lazio couldn't afford)

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/6094/clipboard01rc0.png How "Big" is "Big Sam" then...? 14'3? Honestly its pretty simple, I'm 5'11 myself and I used to sit right at the front, there's no way Barton is as tall as me

I'll go off me own eyes rather than some website - If Barton is 5'11 I'm 10'8 Wiki has him at 5'9, I think thats about right.

Chocolate wrists.

£12m+ on a player to rotate? Don't be silly. Jol might not want to split up Keane and Berbatov...but Alex Ferguson might. 2+2=...?

exactly what I thought! Who's the bad boy now? Quite looking forward to having the vicious little pair of fuckers in the middle actually. Get in a big, intimidating DM alongside them to back them up and we'll be a lot harder to play in the middle of the park. how tall is barton 6ft? would be good to get a big bastard of a cb to back up the midfield not just random agression like parker had but a beast that doesnt get muscelled off the ball. Then we dont have to relie on the long ball tactics bramble felt hell bent on trying 5ft 11 so not far off. Barton is never that tall. 5'8 maybe.

Disagree! And it doesn't matter that he can't pass, he's a defender

Taylor has been poor. Nedum OK apart from one moment before that dive where it looked like he was wearing Huddlestone's boots. Been impressed with Baines left foot. NRC showing how useful he can be when he's arsed. Been impressed with Noble when he's got on the ball. Nugent looks a decent footballer even if in previous games he's not looked much of a goalscorer. Milner alright, Young looking good, like to see them change positions tho. Lita, no comment

How was that not a yellow card?
