Transfer request in the morning. His agent is already preparing the statement. "Shay never, never ever has felt so bad done to him during a game since the 5-1 defeat to Newcastle United Football Club in December 2008. He wants to make it absolutely clear that he no longer wants to play for this club and wants to join a new club to bring his career to the next step, where he has a realistic chance of winning a trophy." "Following Man City's recent defeat in the FA Cup Newcastle United would like to make 100% clear that they have no intentions of taking Shay Given on loan so that he can win the Coca Cola Championship trophy, we must stress the following to Mr Given, haha haha, your not laughing now are you cunt?" Would love it, luv it if he wanted to rejoin us and we would reject it tbh.

wow, that's impressive, really. I thought I'm on a run as well... Have maid a plus of about 45 since a week.

Btw, as everyone is talking about Given... Legend, best manager and my favourite manager after KK (and, of course, as he's a very good lad, Mr. Chris Hughton) Had to post this after watching the Inter vs. Chelsea match http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0bbT3jrf1d3Cg/x610.jpg

Made a small plut again today. Nothing big, but finally I'm winning my bets and am not losing money (like I did last year).

5 € on Inter (draw no bet) 1 € on Inter vs. Chelsea to be 0-0.

Hm... yesterday I had put some money on Huddersfield, Leicester and Colchester. The colchester match was called off. Normally I should win this bet just without the Colchester odds. Still haven't received my money... Does anyone know how long this normally takes with an bet365 account? Thanks.

Yes, I was drawing attention to the Shearer video. You can tell they keep asking him about Owen because he is a friend of Owen's. apparently they fell out when shearer dropped him at the end of last season If that's true it just makes Owen look even more of a cock. He seems much more animated talking about horses than he does football. I think he'll be retired soon. I can't imagine him being willing to play for 'lesser' teams. Could see him playing for Chester of some club like. Isn't there one club he is part owner of? But I can also see him retiring. Imaging if Man Utd would be winning either of the Premier League or Champions League, than I really could see him retiring "on the peak of his successes" or sth. like that. MLS i think No way he'll go to America and leave his My Little Ponies behind! You seem to forget that little Micky has a helicopter and knows how to use it... Not sure if that's a joke or not, but seriously, a 7hour+ flight in a helicopter over the Atlantic? Are you hoping he crashes onto a Mystery Island and is chased by a Black Smoke Monster? Of course it was a kind of joke tbh. I'm not expecting him to move to the US, as well.

what has he done? Puyol was chasing after the ball as it ran towards the byline, then Lehmann came sliding out with foot in the air, studs first. Puyol had already given up on the chase. Aye, that sounds quite familiar. Typical Lehmann style.

Had 10 € on Man Utd (-1) and 1€ on Huddersfield, Leicester double. (Posted before btw.) Returns alltogheter around 23€. Not too bad for a Tuesday I didn't wanted to bet at all.

cacau's confidence should be great after he scored 4 goals that weekend.

I thought earlier this day that Stuttgart might get a win tonight. Should really have put a bet on it as the odds were great.

Aye, that's actually just the same link I've posted one post above you

Just found this. His radio interview really shows how much he's still a footballer. The interview is over 7 mins long and he talked 30 secondes or so about football, the rest about his horses. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8527408.stm

Think Shearer's right there. Hughton deserves it, if he'll want to be our manager next season. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1253221/Chris-Hughton-deserves-crack-Premier-League-says-Newcastle-legend-Alan-Shearer.html?ITO=1490

Roeder did brilliantly for half a season to get us 7th but it was still pretty obvious to most that he wasn't the right man long term. I respect Hughton greatly for what he's done so far, he's got a long way to go to convince me he's good enough though. Hughton comes across a lot better (not just personality wise, or his reluctance to refer to himself in the third person, but in terms of talking sense) than Roeder ever did, in my opinion. Yeah he's less of a prick but Roeder's achievements were more impressive imo (not to discredit Hughton). The difference between the start of that season and the end was insane. agreed, was nothing short of a miracle to get us a european spot. roeder's achievements then outweight hughton's now as he did it in a better league. which is why for me 'earning' a shot at managing us shouldn't come into it. either you think hughton is the right man to lead us for the next 3 or so seasons, minimum, or he is not. no point pissing around with a manager you are not sure about on the premise that he has 'earned' the role. if we go up, yeah, he probably does, in a perfect world, deserve a shot at the premiership, his rightful reward. but everyone knew roeder wasnt the man for the job and we made a mistake with him out of some misguided sense of loyalty. if hughton stays on next season d id hope it is because he shows he is a capable manager for the future, not because of anything he's done in the past. Some here seem to forget that Roeder had a far far better squad than Hughton has and ever will have. Roeder was very lucky in having many players available back from injury who weren't available for Souness (Souness was shit, though). Also Roeder had fairly "easy" teams to play against. And of course, like often said, almost every manager has his "honeymoon period" which Roeder certainly had. he was also managing in the premiership. in terms of relative quality to the league they were/are playing in, Hughton's got a far, far better squad than Roeder ever had. Given Carr Bramble Moore Elliott Solano >> our current side (even in terms of relative qualitiy to the leagues imo) Dyer Parker N'Zogbia Shearer Ameobi

Benfica are leading 1-0 (Aimar) against Hertha.

Is thought to be available for the weekend...

Lovenkrands would have deserved to be back in there.

Put 10€ on ManUtd (-1).

Maybe because we won 1-0?
