Shola time!! It's Best's as things stand.

Wouldn't read much into that. It's just an incentive for those currently on the books.

It was only a few months back that you said you wanted to see him back drinking beer amongst the fans. Funny how you call folk c***s when they assert that sacking Hughton has turned out for the best, yet you praise the man responsible for it. I am not praising him how he run the club.... I said he is good business person. You are the only one who thinks Hughton sacing was good. No i'm not, though.

A year later, this is certainly no longer the case. Messi is becoming more and more the kind of player that can be built around. Yep, and Rooney's looked every bit the flat track bully once again.

Where on earth is 37-1?

Damn right.

One of Bernard's best moments occured against City at home in late 2003 - the same day England won the World Cup if memory serves. Bernard managed to somehow slide and keep in an overhit pass on the far side, then in a few motions absoutely anihiliated the full-back and whipped in an absolutely perfect cross for Shearer to head home. Terrific work.

you talk some f***ing s*** sometimes man But seriously, he is.

Amdy Faye was 'a proper player'.

Black and white Barca.

Hugo was always a quality player - what a left foot, man, christ. Never dynamic enough to play LW or physical enough to play CM, but in a 4-3-3 or a packed midfield the lad would have eventually been a real quality PL player. Another victim of Souness, sadly.

I do love Pardew's candour with words.

Kuqi isn't fat.

I'm not making any excuses, but he's had about 300 managers during his time at the club. A new manager means new methods, new instructions etc... You get my point. His making basic mistakes that even folk on here can spot a mile off. It's unacceptable.

Why on earth would Barton or Ben Arfa be in the middle?

He had potential 5 or 6 years ago. Why hasn't he significantly improved in that time?

Christ.

Terry was 23 at that time and was already starting for his country and captaining his club.

Being the 'charger' requires positional discipline/intelligence too.

f***ing topless Toon charvers worshipping Souness at the Owen unveiling was a gob smacking low in this club's history. Really? Yes.

To defend?

NUFC06?

I remember Souness saying he'd prepared a list of players for Shep, and that Shep nearly fell off his chair when he saw Owen on it.
