Setanta bullshit.. "so far refusing to comment"

yay!

I think Skirge might be holding some top gear these days. legend

score.. I don't think he's able to go that far, my bet is that he'll have a shot off target

yeah, whatever

Shola is huge.. and he doesn't seem to stop growing It'd be nice if somebody can dig out a pic of him from when he was first breaking into the 1st team.. I remember him as a skinny, normally built lad back then.. I wonder what are we feeding him

Nor would I, but them multi-billionaires are a different matter seriously though, I don't consider myself ready to become a supporter of money laundering schemes and people who probably have never seen a football game live.. fuck the money man, I'd rather face years of mediocrity under Ashley or even Shepherd

I'd rather not have Indian millionaires running the club, thanks.

I think luca toni would be a good choice he wouldn't and he wouldn't come here

why? i think it's the most logical thing ever?

Shola is injured

I bet that a 'study' on the land's noisiest fans would've been against the corporate strategy of the brand.. sky forgot what it's all about a long time ago..'best looking fans'.. what a sad waste of HD time

hahahh

this was the case last year too, which I said at the time, but defenders are cheaper, or better business, or something Seriously? Without the defenders we brought in (Beye, Faye, Rozehnal, Caçapa, Enrique)... we'd have had Carr, Taylor, Ramage and Edgar to choose from. A quality midfield player and striker would have the most impact on the team, this was the case last summer, and we bought how many defenders ? 5 ? 2 of them are squad players, not good enough. Faye, Beye and probably Enrique have played well especially the first 2. Thats above average when you are scouting among the basement transfer fees and freebies etc, but if Keegan has seen fit to spend the bulk of his budget [lower than most clubs ?] on a defender then I only hope he isn't another Marcelino, Pistone or Goma - but at least when we bought them we had good attackers and midfield players. gotta get up and moan, eh NE5.. keep the faith, my friend. I'm sure Keegan knows we need more creativity in our attacking play.

I feel we should've arranged a couple more friendlies.. fitness is a fair concern, but it feels like our attacks still don't have any clear pattern.. like nobody knows what to do with the ball once they get it.. The stadium was so quiet yesterday, It was nice to hear what the players and coaches were shouting.. like when Zog gets the ball, everybody starts screaming at him "get out, get out!!", or Geremi's constant barking and Duff's stupid screech.. Krul seemed pretty vocal too the highlights of the game were Butt going mad, Pantelic (who was very impressive) getting kicked all over the pitch, Taylor doing his 'I've been shot' rendition, Shola and Smith's complete inadequacy and Duff looking lively on the right side.. Geremi, Cacapa and N'Zogbia were shaky defensively, Butt didn't play good, Milner's end product erases everything good he does with the ball at his feet, Guthrie played a few nice passes but was otherwise pretty quiet.. Jonas doesn't seem like the typical wing player but he looked very lively and he'll be an asset.. Enrique made a late appearance but demonstrated brilliant technique almost every time he touched the ball.. all in all a nice game, the second half was awful, but thankfully I was off my head by then so I enjoyed watching us again after all this time.. howay the lads

there are plenty, but it's not like there's no NUFC content.. trained eyes know how to ignore ads and banners

I think of all realistic options for CBs in the big wide world, Coloccini is the best one. great player.. for me, he's one of the top 5 defenders in the world right now

I know it's not official, but 'well played to everyone involved'

awful as always tonight.. absolutely no hope here

i think I'll have a nervous breakdown soon.. gotta get out of the office asap

good.. can't wait to see what he's like

Yes, in his striker's role, AND as our most valuable asset, there is no doubt that Owen is currently the club's best player - Martins is nowhere near as important to us..we would have gone down if Owen hadn't been in the side last season and Martins would NOT have kept us up on his own. yeah, because that didn't happen the previous season..

yeah, something you have to anticipate with every foreign player who wouldn't make a world Xl. They're the same ones incidentally that'll bark like dogs if anyone dares criticise Steven Taylor. Sub-human scum, the lot of em haha.. nice

Apparantly it's bollocks. The thread was bumped. yeah, apparently it was some alternative ITK fraction that agreed on that

Owen and Martins
