Ronaldo

shite

Hope Xisco gets a go, he's got an real engine and pace on him

Better to listen to the media than make uninformed rants with a chip on your shoulder. read my post, it's backed up with numbers. Or do you think 4 goals in 15 starts represents good form for a player who gives you nowt but goals?

aint been going well for you recently has it mate. Always tomorrow night anyway

Yep, and I don't think Owen played in as good a Newcastle side as what Shearer did, so it's a shocking comparison tbh. I'm sure if Owen, even today, had Robert, Bellamy, Solano, Speed & Dyer around him, he'd still easily get 15-20 a season while fit. Stick Shearer in this team, and he'd struggle to 10. The current Owen compared to Shearer at his best for us? No chance. agreed. Shearer wasn't quite at his best when Robert and Solano were in the team but he was still a fucking great striker and a great player up until 2004. Owen is neither and hasn't been for years Owen should never be compared to Shearer, different types of player, all Owen has ever had on Shearer is a yard of pace but even that's gone now, not fit to wipe Shearer's arse to be honest

Bent has 10 league goals this season, better than Owen, and only 5 behind the premiership's top scorer. Bent hasn't started nearly as many as Owen either Is Capello laughable? because he clearly agrees with me. Owen has failed at international level post 98. He's chipped in with a few goals in friendlies but where it matters he hasn't delivered. He's England's 6th choice striker now, and rightfully so What a gigantic load of BS LOL So Owen didnt take part in that 5-1 win in Germany when he got a hattrick. He didnt score any goals in qualification for the 2002 world cup did he. He also didnt score against Brazil in a game during the world cup that we SHOULD have gone on to win had it not been for Ronaldinho and Seamans awful level of vision. Atleast try to back up your pointlessly illogical hatred of Owen with the smallest hint of a half decent argument. looks at Owen's stats for the qualification games for euro 00 and 04, and wc 2002 and 06 and of course the tournaments themselves in which his record is 4 goals in 15 games. Not even 1 in 3 for a player who gives nowt to the team but goals? That's what i mean. Since 2000 his record for England is nowt to speak of, he's never covered himself in glory, even with the brilliant service he's recieved. make up your own mind if that's a half-decent arguement or not. Owen's fans are typically the ones who listen to dickheads in the media like Chris Waddle who are happy to ignore the fact that it's been 11 years since WC 1998.

fair play to Guthrie and Xisco, both will be key figures in next season, whatever happens

If we'd got him instead of Stephen Carr in 2004 who knows how we might have been impacted in view of both his organisational skills and footballing ability.

I was back in the UK over the weekend for the England game and went into Lillywhites. I always liked Lillywhites when I lived in London, a really elite sports shop, but was totally shocked after going in on Saturday. It now looks like a multi-storey storage warehouse crammed, and I mean crammed, full with junk. Mike Ashley doesn't give a fck about Newcastle United, he doesn't give a fck about anything. Good businessman or unscrupulous fat twt........? they go hand in hand. Pile em high, sell em low

Bent's a better player and a much better strike partner for Rooney or anyone for that matter

thought that for a while Id rather Kinnear tbh you're mad

Have people forgotten that Steven Taylor is horrific at CB?

great news, Bassong is the difference between a solid defence and a defence waiting to fall to pieces

thought that for a while

8 goals in 8 games will have Capello under pressure to include him in the squad. Some journalists on yesterday's SS1 talk-in on the subject stated that it might not be Owen's form or injury problems that are keeping him out of the squad, but something dismissive he said to the media after his last appearance for England under Capello, a game which had people questioning Capello's tactics and use of substitutions. owen's form hasn't be good, i think it's 2 goals in 10 games for us now, that for a player who offer's nothing to the team show's he is not mr incredible goalscorer and player that some fan's and certainly pundits think he is i wouldn't put it past him going to the mls, cos I can't see many premiership offering anything like what owen will want, with his injury record i think he could only get a pay as you play contract 4 in his last 9 starts. 1 in his last 10 apps 2 in his last 9 starts, stop f***ing lying man Sorry, meant league games. As for your reaction. You really hate Owen don't you? lol You can twist statistics anyway you want, as my post was meant to show. Fact is Owen is a best finisher and needs to play. perhaps, but Neesy is absolutely right (for once) Owen hasn't been playing well at all since his goals at the end of the year

lets hope so, beating the drop and having those fuckers go down

That's besides the point. The players clearly raise their game for the bigger clubs, regardless of the space they get. who?

sick of all this 'if we play like we did against' shite Man U and Arsenal play football and are happy to give us space because they know they can beat us 10 times out of 10. It means absolutely fuck all against Stoke and Portsmouth

He doesn't say owt about us being pretty crap there, he's bang right to be honest. After all, we boo 12 goal a season wingers and the entire team when we get beat by Arsenal

that's absolute nonsense, he did an interview the day before he scored against us and said nowt but good things about the fans and we held out Villa with a combination of luck and Villa being absolutely shocking in the second half

Bramble would come back in a second man, he loves it up here

don't get me started mate, Bramble looks like Nesta with the ball compare to Stevie T

a year with one of the best readers of the game in premiership history goes a long way. I always like Bramble at nufc but he's looked genuine top quality this season. Wigan's player of the year by a mile
