Ronaldo

But yet the Birmingham fans eventually cheered Bowyer, who's past is probably even more colourful than Barton's

The army of player who haven't given anywhere near on the best on the pitch, when they've actually got near it are far more culpable than Joey Barton. The likes of Babayaro, Carr, Viduka, Owen and even Shola have more to answer for imo. The first 3 made no effort, even as seasoned professionals to keep themselves in physical condition adequate for premiership football

saved me the effort, nail on head all clubs bid what they think for players and if the selling clubs want too much they pull out........however from the time of the rooney bid, if we don't actually sign the player then it was all just to con the supporters. the Rooney bid was genuine, and he would have been a Newcastle player had Man U not bid higher, Rooney himself alludes to this. The fact we sold Given the day before to Man city, the fact that Man city were never going to sell him, or anyone for that matter. Earlier that day they'd basically said that they weren't going to sell any of their squad. It was all nonsense, surely never ever believe what a club says unless it can be verified by another. ferguson said ronaldo was going nowhere and beckham, wenger said anelka was going nowhere. man utd said they had no transfer cashand would be signing no-one else two days before signing rooney. you're supporting my point re. Rooney with that useful post. Michael Johnson on the other hand? come on, last hour of the transfer window, club that blatantly weren't selling anyone that day.....

I am that desperate to win. Not that I think Barton is the biggest scumbag we've had at the club in recent times

i'm the same to be honest

I really hope we keep him

Lampard is better than the pair of them He isn't like. Scholes during his peak was fantastic, but not quite as complete as Lampard and certainly not as consistent with goals

I find it funny that a lot of supporters seem to think that Shearer hates whoever the toon concensus dislikes, ie Shepherd. I remember reading on the AOL boards by an ITK that Shearer hated Robert and often had to physically threaten him in training. Next week the two of them were spotten by a mate, walking their dogs together near Darras Hall

Coventry only really gave us problems in the air. This might just be the theme of next season given our lack of height in midfield

mate, you're blind, either that or you're very young and stupid. It's blatantly obvious why it might be in Lambias's interest to fabricate bids being made Any bidders would know that this is bollocks though surely? So he'd have nothing to gain from making it public. Just like we knew that the bid for Michael Johnson was complete bollocks. They still did it though, they're f***ing amateurs I thought City said they rejected that? Could be wrong. they did, somewhat predictably

well, he's a scumbag. We can't really expect him to act him to act with integrity

They're all working on the assumption that Llambias is telling the truth, does anybody actually believe the lying b******? My take on it is there have been no bids made, and there are unlikely to be at the price the fat idiot is asking. Eh, why would Llambias lie about this? Baffling. to encourage new bids, obviously

beyond belief. There is nothing similar about them imo, Gillespie was twice the player

Lampard is better than the pair of them

Dunne's a decent centre-back who up until last season made very few mistakes. The lack of pace is always a huge liability though, them playing so high up the pitch exposed it last season

Automatic promotion in one form or the other

a full-back? Are they having a laugh, he's as much a full-back as Michael Owen is a dominant centre-half

Cissokho would murder Johnson in a race, his physicality e.g. strength and pace are his biggest plus, and why he's good he's like Richards he has great recovery pace. Johnson is also strong and quick, you just don't like the bloke tbh
