Norway has the largest Newcastle supporterclub in the world, and have two quality forums I think is worth mentioning.

Would love a player of Barzagli's calibre to play for Newcastle. You don't have to watch a player gazillion times to see if it's a class player or not. Barzagli is just the type of player we need right now, and it sends a message to everyone that we have real ambitions even this season if we got him.

I can't remember who - but there was a celebrity pair (both rockers) who often had something they called "pling-party". Every time she got an SMS from Riise, they both had to take a shot of vodka. Apparently, they got pretty wasted a couple of times.

I wouldn't touch Riise with a rotten stick. I fucking hate his guts to the point where it gets ridiculous. Even if I base them on quality my choice is easlily Heinze, as he has the qualities we need right now - the defensive qualities. Riise is good in the offensive part, but the only thing he contributes to defensivley is to whack the ball as hard as he can up the field, unless the ball is played to his feet moving forward. He is a grade A dumbass, and I think all the Norwegians on here could easily approve that.

I don't see the problem. After a good u21 tournament, McClaren says he is going to monitor him through a whole season. That's almost a whole year. And if Taylor improves in that time - why shouldn't he be considerd in the first team?

Morientes has never been so called world class. He didn't make the Real M. squad, and was loaned out to Monaco for christs sake. He was never a regular in his long spell with the Madrid outfit. You have a point with Sheva, but i think that is much down to the fact that he wasn't used right. He is a class player, maybe on his way down, but still an amazing player. Torres has many years left in him, and has played in one of the biggest leagues in the world for many years already. He is proven on the international stage with spain as well. Given time to adopt, and used right, he will be one of PL's main attractions for years to come.

Torres is world class imo. Kuyt isn't only a hard worker - he is an excellent finisher as his goal tally from Feyenoord shows. Those two would complement each other perfect I would imagine. Don't know much about Voronin, but with him, Crouch and Bellamy, they certainly look to have the best group of strikers in the league. As for best attack in the league, Man Utd is definatley a good shout, and im sure Chelsea's would be a strong 2nd if they were allowed more freedom when attacking.

He may be a Fanni, but at least he has a huge rod.

I think Hangeland is quality. He went stale at Viking, and after his move to Copenhagen he has really improved. He has been the most consistent performer in a struggling Norwegian side, and a top performer in a Copenhagen team doing well domestically and above expectations in Europe. He is surprisingly good with the ball in his feet (which is why he has played some games as a DM), and surprisingly fast. He is a CB, and hasn't played THAT much DM. He played DM a while in a Viking team led by Roy Hodgson, but as I can remember, he wasn't too happy about that. I wouldn't mind if he ended up in Newcastle.

how come every single keeper shirt has always got something terribly wrong with it I like it. Best keeper shirt I've seen in ages actually(for Newcastle that is). Especially with that hunkalicious Given in it.

Didn't West Ham have a defensive midfielder called Alou Diarra the season they went down as well?

“I am not running away from armed robbers but people who want to take the life of Obafemi Martins." Pop quiz: Who has obviously spent too much time together with Oba? On a more serious note, im glad he is ok. Must have been shit scary. I know I would just crumble up shivering in a pond of my own piss if it was me in that situation. Nigeria IS a dangreous place. I work with a chief officer at a supplyvessel who got kidnapped in Nigeria near Lagos. Crazy people.

Well, Ronny Johnsen still plays professional football at Vålerenga so he isn't retired at all. In fact he has done pretty well there, and holds a first team place as long as he is injury free. Let's bring him back

I don't know about this season, but the season before when he had his breakthrough, he was the player at Blackburn who ran longest in almost every game.

Schadenfreude = Skadefryd in Norwegian, btw. I hold no schadenfreude over Schalke what so ever btw.

Newcastle is by far the best town in England, in any ways if you ask me. I've only been there twice though. Once with my graduationclass, where we had a blast going to all the fantastic clubs and shopping oppertunities. We even went to The Strawberry to watch Vålerenga-Newcastle. Typical really. First time in Newcastle, and Newcastle United deciedes to travel to my country and play...Even though, it was fun as hell, being a Norwegian Newcastlesupporter watching Newcastle play in Norway at The Strawberry. The second time I went with my dad for the 3-0 match against WBA last season. He's been a Newcastlesupporter since the first time he visited the city when he was sailing at the age of 16 (now 50 btw). We had a canny time, and got to say goodbye to Shearer as well. Only downside was on the night, after visiting different pubs, we went to a bar right next to our hotel (right next to some shoppingcentre(?). Can't remember the name). We were pretty drunk, and didn't notice what kind of bar it was, untill some guy came up to us, and started to flirt with us. Chunked our beer and ran to the hotel as fast as we could.

Depends Shak. I wouldn't hesitate being paid £60k a week on behalf of someone else keeping me in shape for 5 years, instead of actually have to do something than participate in the obiligated training for a few hours each day.

How old is she? I could see her as my sugarmama in a few years, with the best inlaws in the world.

hehe, I went a little further, and stopped reading after "I've grown up at this club, both as a footballer"

I just did that on FM (with some cheating as Arsenal and M'Boro wouldn't loan out the strikers, and neither Bridge, Brown and Navarro was for sale, and neither of them wanted to come here before I gave them 2 week fines), and it worked like a charm. I say go for it!
