Some shameless time wasting going on at the sol now
-
Hm, just as well then. Would have to get up at 5 am to watch it here in Honolulu (if they sent it live), and I might be able to stay away from the world as I know it untill 6 pm tomorrow

Hi, I just signed up on foxsoccer.tv, Does anyone use it? What time zone are the games listed at? The Villa - Newcastle game is listed as AVAILABLE AT 11:59 PM, does that mean it will be a replay, and not live? I hate time zones.

No-one is disputing his ability, though. The reasoning behind not wanting him back is due to the negative effects it could potentially have on the team spirit, seeing as he was apparently one of those players who wanted out the summer we got relegated. Seeing as the 'senior pros' told those particular players not to come back to the club (I'm assuming this means Barton, Nolan, Smith, Harper etc), and also considering those players have all been integral either on the pitch or in the dressing room, it would be a pretty risky idea. There isn't sufficient need to chance it and bring him back, imo. We can look elsewhere and hopefully unearth another gem. I don't want him back, but to defend him a bit: It was easier for players like Barton, Nolan, Coloccini, Enrique and Smith to stay and go down with Newcastle, as they were on huge wages, and would certainly not get a better contract anywhere else. Bassong on the other hand were on a fraction of what the others were on, despite being one of the best players for us that season. I can not see that we would offer him a new improved contract after relegation, so it's no surprise that he chose to walk. I don't blame him at all. Win win situation for all imo, as we got a good profit on him, and we managed without him with no problems at all, and still do.

None of the names mentioned in that thread are any bigger than Asamoah Gyan apparently

Aww What are the odds on Ameobi and Løvenkrands staying injury free for the rest of the season?

I don't understand the concept of charvers. There is no red line in the looks of the people you have posted, and urban dictionary says it's primarily people from Newcastle who wears berghaus coats.

Didn't N-O sell Newcastle fan t-shirts a while? Seem to remember a certain STR8888888888888888 Like a banana shirt had it's round a while back. We need a Shola eating apple on a bike shirt as well.

Better than ∞ chances like the man in your avatar... He has to be able to get any chances before we can know for sure. 0 in 1 this season. He might be a 1 in 2 player.
-
What pleases me the most is how different all the goals were, which shows that we can be very unpredictable and versatile.
-
1 goal and 5 assists this season. Joint second highest assists in our squad together with Ameobi. Not too shabby, considering that he has no end product.
-
It tells us something if a crisis in the "april fools proportion" is that Leon fucking Best is injured. Hes played well this season, but we really need to buy better strikers in the summer, even if we were to be relegated.
-
He was bloody awful man! Ah yas, Craig Moore. Shepherds big masterstroke. He was so please with him self, and bragged in the press about how he had sold Hughes for £1m and replaced him with free agent Moore, which strengthened the squad at the same time
-
Didn't he score a pretty decent goal against us?

Would you rather have had that money or stayed up with the extra point that I'm fairly sure a player of Milner's (and/or N'Zogbia's) productivity would have earned us over a season? To those mentioning Spurs sell-to-buy policy, if you suggested to Harry Redknapp that they had one, I suspect he'd laugh in your face. Point is, spurs have done it and found success, so now they don't have to sell to buy anymore. Please understand. You're spreading a myth. Please understand. The sale of Carrick in 2006 allowed them to buy Berbatov. In summer 2008 they sold Keane & Berbatov for a combined £51m, and bought Modric, Pavlyuchenko, Bentley, Gio and Bostock for a combined £36m. They had a slow start that season which resulted in Redknapp being hired. Redknapp bought Keane, Defoe, Palacios, Bassong, Crouch and Kaboul of note (and sold Zokora & Bent) and got them CL the following season. When in the CL, they do not have to sell players. The sale of Keane and Berbatov allowed them to push on. Looking past free transfers & loans & Woodgate, they havn't bought a single player that didn't have a good chance to have same/higher re sale value since 2006 at least.

Yup, quality always conquers and given a run of games like Besty, he'll be banging them in like nobody's business. Delighted he's signed a new contract. Check my Avatar to grasp how his appetite for a bulging onion net is, quite simply, insatiable!
