Ah shiiiiiiiiii, was gonna post that picture of Hernandez. I even edidided it. So I'll post it anyway. http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9459/ingcrybaby.jpg Edit: Norwegian media is saying both teams had penalty shouts turned down, but only Newcastle's deserved one. Article is probably written by a Liverpool supporter, but it's nice that they get it right sometimes anyway.

They're saving energy for a 87th minute goal by giggs.

Some odd clubs that are represented on the Norwegian Supporter Union for British Football: Aldershot Town FC Billericay Town Cheltenham Exeter City Macclesfield Town Rochdale Torquay United Woking Rushden & Diamonds These are official supporter clubs, that run websites and attend supporter cups etc. There are probably several other unofficial ones for more obscure teams than those listed. Seeing as it's calculated on percentage of population, I can see how Norway topped the list. Edit: 0.0012% of the Norwegian population are Wokin supporters, 0.79% Liverpool, 0.96% Man Utd, while (paying)Newcastle supporters represent 0.0055%. Still early days for the new Newcastle supporter club though.

For English football it is probably true. Even most lower league team has a supporter club in Norway. Think it's even more popular than the domestic league.

Didn't he make a few good runs with the ball in that game against Liverpool as well, dribling past two or three players?

This post needs more attention. Worthless award, and doesn't deserve the attention it gets.

Someone should bump it.

Who's better at pelanties: Ronaldo or Ameobi?

Good morning people. See things went well today Im heading over to be a peeping Tom on rtg. Laterz

Straight leg, studs first in the knee of Zabaleta man. Give over.

is there anything you don't know with the power of hindsight? http://southparkstudios.mtvnimages.com/shared/downloads/wallpaper/season-14/1412/1412b_captain-hindsight_thumb.jpg?width=320

Here's another stat. Since and including Keegan was here the first time, Pardew has the 4th worst win percentage out of 12 managers. His record is worse than Allardyce, Roeder, Souness, Dalglish, Bobby, Keegan the first time, Hughton and Gullit. He beats Shearer, Keegan the 2nd time and Kinnear. The stats does, however, not include squad quality and level of opposition. Im not really into this discussion, as I'd rather wait until the summer and see what happens, but thought I'd just point it out.

Ah, Mario Jardel. CM 97/98 legend

Stoke bid for him as well. Around £8m I think, some time when we were in the championship.

Hasn't he only been responsible for 1 signing for us so far, ie Tiote? One player isn't much to base any confidence on really. Here's how £45m+ was spent at Man City under Eriksson when Carr was chief scout : Benjani £3,870,000 Felipe Caicedo £5,200,000 Valeri Bojinov £5,750,000 Elano £8,000,000 Vedran Corluka £8,000,000 Javier Garrido £1,500,000 Martin Petrov £4,700,000 Geovanni Free Rolando Bianchi £8,800,000 and City signings pre-moneybags era from the rest of his time there (for an idea of how good he is at spotting cheap/unknown players who come good) : Season 06/07 Andreas Isaksson £2,000,000 Hatem Trabelsi Free Bernardo Corradi Signed Dietmar Hamann £400,000 Season 05/06 Ousmane Dabo Free Paul Dickov Free Joe Hart £1,500,000 Matthew Mills £250,000 Georgios Samaras £6,000,000 Darius Vassell £2,000,000 Andy Cole Free Season 04/05 Ronald Waterreus Free Danny Mills Free Inspiring? Yes, I'd say so. All in bold were at the time inspiring signings imo.

Well that and what were his intentions of buying Ben Arfa when he was injured, loaning a headfuck at minimal cost and securing Tiote by giving him more money. Why would he offer someone significantly more money for an extra years commitment? Protecting his value (Tiote) Grabbing a bargain (Ben Arfa & possibly Ireland) Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the principles of the model, more the fact the club aren't just up front about it. We are a feeder club now and the kids he'll buy in the summer, if they prove themselves by Xmas will be wrapped up in long term deals in order to sell to the highest bidder come next summer. All good as long as Carr isn't hit by a bus, the team morale doesn't dive bomb a la relegation year (hence Nolan imho) and the fans don't stop turning up. My understanding is that Liverpool were sniffing around Ben Arfa so the club decide to push the deal through early rather than wait until the end of the season and risk losing him. Since they had agreed such a good price for him, once Ben Arfa signed that contract, they can almost certainly sell him for an immediate profit. I know he has a lot to prove after the injury but even now before he has played again, they would easily get more than £5m for him. Fucking Liverpool

I have that card.

worst I've seen in a long time. Bentley and Ronaldinho had better ones. Edit: the pepsi one that is

Yeah, I'm really torn on the subject. On one hand, I want to keep the core group of players, but on the other hand I can see why we aren't in a position to give out ridiculous contracts.

But we can wave the structure good bye if me make an exception with Enrique. Then we'll risk unsettling HBA and Tiote..Do people want that? Yeah, as I said, both positives and negatives.

I was mainly talking about this forum in my first comment. All we are basing this on are a few vague comments Enrique made in january, Phil f***ing Thompson in a Norwegian football studio, and Enriques apparent body language since he hasn't smiled quite as often as he used to, right? Or am I missing something? Either way, it's going to be interesting to see how this place reacts to vague speculation when Colo's up, especially since he is the highest earner in the club.

Yeah, but all of them have already been discussed in the same way we are discussing Enrique now. Ben Arfa is already on wages that fits the structure.

Man, this is going to get tedious. Same scenario will arise when it's time to re-negotiate Coloccinis contract as well, who is the last man out in the big wages but good player we'd like to keep category. Just face it, Ashley doesn't care how good a player is. Everyone has to work within the limits he has set. There are both positives and negatives with that stance.
