You should be much more jealous because of your performance in 2005-2006.

Pompey are playing Both Peter Crouch and King Kanu upfront. One of the tallest and most physically awkward pairings I've seen.

Like Villa?

Yes, I remember him doing very well against Villa. The consensus is that he is suppossed to be better than Alex.

What squad number do you think we should give to Clinton Morrison?

No point in "clogging the midfield". Teams have been doing that to Chelsea since Mourinho arrived. I guarante that Lampard, Deco, Mikel and Ballack will walk right through the center midfield you put out anyway. Also, if Ameobi starts with Oba and Owen both fit on the bench, then I'm not watching the f***** match.

Assuming it has something to do with this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1085762/Injury-prone-Newcastle-striker-Martins-criticised-Nigeria-boss-Amodu.html?ITO=1490 He wasn't invited though. Neither were the likes of Joseph Yobo or John Obi Mikel. In fact, I questioned what the hell Yakubu and Kanu were doing there, It was a friendly, I thought the purpose was to look at NEW players? I will see if Oba is there for the next qualifier.

Hasn't he been s*** recently for you lot too? Great goal scorer, but he'll never win anything because of his lack of effort. He is the anti-Oba for Nigeria. Oba hardly ever shows up, but when he does he always runs his socks off and is full of movement. Meanwhile, the Yak shows up for EVERY bloody match and stands like a statue.

I think: 1.Owen 2.Duff/Viduka 3.Barton/Smith/Coloccini Martins will probably move up with Duff/Viduka when he signs a new contract. I meant who would be our highest earners...if we weren't paying bit part players and cripples incredibly inflated wages. Like a perfect world.

Who do you all think should be our highest earners by the way. I'm guessing, Owen, Martins, Barton, and Jonas.

Which of are biggest wage earners won't be playing? Geremi? Viduka? Smith? I'd rather not pay to say Viduka and Smith limp around, though I'd prefer Geremi to start over Butt anyway. It's actually quite comical that those three you mentioned could be amongst our biggest wage earners. Then we wonder why we are struggling. I agree with this. Instead of blaming Keegan/Ashley/Wise/The wrath of God, we should look to our incredibly wasteful and inefficent habit of signing out of favor players from bigger clubs, and putting them on long contract with astronomical wages. This started with Shepard and continued into Allardyce's first window.

KK wasn't a great manager last season? We may well have went down if he hadn't have taken over from SA. We may go down this season, and no doubt some will try and blame that on Keegan for leaving. The true reason for his departure will come out one day, but i know who i think was in the right, and that's KK. I'll hold my hands up and admit it if i'm proved otherwise too. Ya I'm not going to omit the horrid start because we began to win when Oba and Viduka returned. Both Allardyce and Keegan had the team playing well in stint last year, but the teams mostly played nonsense under both managers.

I thought Ashley Cole and Rio Ferdinand had some white about them. Ashley Cole has a white cock warmer His mum?

I thought Ashley Cole and Rio Ferdinand had some white about them.

Ah f*** it. Much higher chance of Owen leaving than Given anyway.

The man has been a fantastic servant to Newcastle United. However, he wasn't particularly great as a manager last season and he has been destructive to the teams goal this season. I think that is it really. I don't think anyone should be absolved from questioning because of what they accomplished in the past. Although, I do wonder what the purpose of starting this thread was besides starting another tiresome argument.

Someone can chekc my statistics, and I'll accept it if I'm wrong, but from what I can gather Oba has scored 31 goals for the club (competitive) while Michael has scored 25, whilst being here for one more season than Oba. Injuries, International duties, whatever, these are the facts. How can Owen be world class when he is being out produced by this "neanderthal". I actually like both of these players alot, but I just think Owen's career has been like this too long for us to be calling him world class. This is his fourth year here, so his lack of production is not an abberation.

I'm just saying how ridiculous that argument is. "You know Babayaro used to be quite good at Chelsea, but once he went to that s*** team Newcastle, he stopped performing. Those s*** players around him really dragged him down."

What are you talking about? Because i don't think Owen is world i want to watch s*** players? Is that what you're saying? Is that your logic? Is it? Eh? I agree with kimbo, if he was world class, where are the world class team's coming in for him Put Michael Owen in a team that can actually play decent football and you will see that he is closer to world class than you seem to think. He needs a few games to get his timing back but he is light years ahead of anybody we have. You just had to watch his passing, awareness and movement even in the withdrawn role last season. Problem is he's dragged down to this level by the utter dross that he has to play with tbh. Martins may be spectacular at times but he doesn't have a footballing brain. Ameobi has neither but can con a moron like Kinnear just because he is big. I'd think that Owen has to wonder how the f*** things could go so wrong when he looks at who he has to play with. Owen is good, but he is not a top level player. Just because he was so many years ago, does not mean he is now. He had a chance to be a great, but he squandered that through bad career choices and unfortunate injuries. And it's ridiculous to say that he isn't performing because he's being pulled down by the players around him. I wonder if fans of Nicky Butt, Damien Duff, and Celestine Babayaro are saying the same

Chelsea have lost the title the last two seasons because of home draws, and this year all their slipups have been at home.

Sven's Mexico are in serious danger of being knocked out of the World Cup. Watching Nigeria-Colombia at the moment. Terrible match. Yakubu has been an absolute disgrace for us. Scoring requires some the striker doing something else than just constantly standing offside! How lazy is this useless idiot?

Despite statistics, Eto'o has dropped in the last two years, and has been a bit of headache at the club. However, he seems to have gotten his best form back at the beginning of this season.
