    Joey Barton

    He's a great player, but his personality should be a bit too much for Roeder to deal with. We really don't need a potential problem player at this point and time.
  2. http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/news/article2383823.ece He's right like. I really miss Keegan being in football. Heard on the news yesterday that he's planning on running one of his "soccer circus" things in Newcastle. Good news if you've got kids. How sad has the world become if it can disillusion even Kevin Keegan. This was actually the most depressing thing I've read in a while. Especially because it's true.
  3. Reminds me of West Bromwich Albion for some reason. Maybe it's the pink.

    Dyer guilt

    And one day, some industrious soul will invent a squelch function for message boards. There will be much rejoicing.
  5. I'd travel to ****ing Antarctica without a peep if we ever played an FA cup semi final again tbh.

    Dyer guilt

    It takes guts to go on record with the media and talk about your past actions like that. Regardless of what's happening on the pitch, Dyer deserves credit for this. In comparison, it takes pretty much no guts whatsoever to go spewing on like a madman on internet message boards...
  7. I think everyone on this 24-page thread has garnered enough fun from the affair to admit it was a good idea.
  8. Depressing but not surprising. Honestly, with Arsenal debt ridden for the forseeable future, who other than Manure and Chelsea has a shot at the title for the next decade or so? Saddling their Glazer debt, even ManU may have a hard time keeping up once Giggs and Scholes are no longer servicable.

    Nikola Žigić

    With Jan Koller on the wane, he's the best big man in the business at the moment. Not only is he huge, but he has amazing balance. Very hard to knock down. This man is NOT a Peter Crouch. As long as it's done with half a brain, long ball isn't necessarily a bad thing, with this guy in, I'd be all for it. 8m is a VERY reasonable price I think. What I'm not sure of is whether we should be buying a striker at all.
  10. So who's going to read the riot act to Glenn?
  11. you sure about that? they tend to say "shootiiiiiiiiiiing" with the emphasis on the 2nd part of the word....or "headiiiiiing" with the same intonation....funny man, listening to loads of korean babble then they throw that in, cracks me up every time Funny, I haven't heard shootering yet. Wouldn't put it past our commentators though. The famous Korean commentator who screams out players names as though he's having sex with them is always good for a laugh.
  12. This is just about the most exciting thing left in this season!

    The or thread

    Pele or Ameobi tbh!
  14. Superhuman? Who is the one who is over-rated? I don't want to get into the pointless world class debate again, but if you sincerely believe (and it seems like you do) that Shay is a liability, you're either blind or overly cynical. For your sake, I hope it's the latter.

    Rooney or Martins?

    While I agree that Rooney is, for now, a much better prospect than Martins, I would definitely like to see how many of those votes came before last thursday and how many came after.
  16. I agree mate if he did do it then bye bye, but like said above this is the FA and he could be done even if there is a massive lack of evidence to prove he did say it. I mean what can they do about it? get in a Turkish lip reader to prove what he said. And considering what we've seen of Emre and his Representation's ability to issue "strategic" media comments, I think he just might need a bit of luck to work his way out of the FA witch hunt even if he IS innocent.
  17. Don't think he'll be convicted today, but he already has at least one more charge (Bangoura) to deal with. No doubt the press will once again drag his name and the name of our club through the mud throughout the whole process. Good luck to Emre though. I've developed a soft spot for the little turkish devil and I do hope he stays
  18. nicely written piece. Although it isn't that hard to find the truth when it keeps coming at you with the subtlety of a jackhammer.
  19. This post actually resembles some sort of.... arcane ritual, calling out to the ancient and devious trolls who stalk this forum. I sense some sort of fight coming.

    Would...

    While I would normally agree that we won't get a better manager and that Glen might as well stay another year, I'm honestly worried that he's just come unglued mentally after our recent string of non-preformances. Now without injury or bad scheduling to stake the blame on, I think he himself is finally realizing that he just isn't good enough. And that must be tough for a decent bloke who loves the club to take. Probably keeps him up at night tbh. I sincerely hope that he does the sensible thing and resigns before it ruins his life. As for a replacement, might as well bite the bullet and pick up Shearer now. Although I would personally get on the next flight to Newcastle and lick Fat Fred's boots if he could somehow pick up Guus Hiddink.
  21. ****, I might buy one if that rumor starts going around. And I dont' even live in Newcastle!
  22. possibly not the best idea to put the lads address all over the internet. Is Luque on about £60k/week here, so in PSV he would have been on £48k/week and playing football. But turned it down for the money? I reckon i could live alright on £48k per week. Though i do see the point in turning down a wage drop. I could live alright on £48k per year, never mind a week. It's about 12 years of my current wage. I live in a poorer country though. Does anyone could have a good life with £48k per year/month in England? Just want to know how greedy he is. £48k per year is an excellent wage in England. The equivalent of 48k Pounds per year would be excellent money in just about any country in the world.
