Naughton would be a good signing as backup to Beye, he's a good player. If we could get him for just a few million that'd be good business. Only 20 as well.

Still out? b******. I thought he'd have made this one with Kinnear saying he was about 50/50 to play in the Wigan game. “Beye’s on crutches and you’d think he’s going to be out at least three weeks. “Viduka’s got a torn groin muscle, and I’d think he would be at least three weeks as well. “Oba Martins will be at least two weeks minimum. “We already know Joey Barton is down, and with Nicky Butt going down against Liverpool, who knows what the team will be at Hull? “I can’t see any of the injured players coming back. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2008/12/29/newcastle-set-for-hectic-transfer-window-kinnear-72703-22566437/ Hadn't seen that, cheers. Given Taylor - Coloccini - Bassong - N'Zogbia Jonas - Geremi - Guthrie - Duff Xisco - Owen Subs: Harper, Edgar, Kadar, Doninger, Lua Lua, Carroll, Ameobi Why people continue to pick Xisco in their starting line up ahead of Carroll, Ameobi ( Late fitness test ) or anyone is beyond me. He has played a few times and has been worse than Rossi was from what I have seen. Its strongly rumored he was so rubbish its part of the reason Keegan went mental and left. Kinnear obviously doesn`t rate him either. Carroll and Ameobi have at least been average this season. I reckon at a guess Ranger would be more worthy of a place in the team than Xisco So because you've only seen him a few times and in your opinion is worse than Rossi, again based on seeing him a few times, he shouldn't be given a chance? I'll base my opinion of him and the reason for putting him in the starting line up on more than a few games. It's the FA cup aswell.. we don't have the squad depth to play our best possible XI week in week out as just a few injuries have shown us. Plus it'd give him a chance to prove himself worthy of some kind of first team place. He's a decent player from what I saw from his last season in La Liga. I highly doubt the reason that Keegan walked out was because he was 'so rubbish'

Linked with Spurs.

;DItalian communication? I've just realised, I can't think of many Italian players in the premiership at all.

We have the means to bring in 5 players? Like.. we have the money to, or we're trying to bring 5 in?

Million dollar baby, mean machine was alright, gridiron gang was watchable. There's some half decent ones about, like.

Not to mention that Deco offers a threat on goal, scoring from outside the box and from deadball situations - both of which we lack.

Sounds like something Real would do to be honest. Crackers.

Yeah but he speaks in Spanish so it's harder to criticize him really haha.

Shearer did better than Beckham I reckon in the film.

I definitely would not cash in on Given in January. What'd be the point?

Correct. Isnt there a blooper with the Kluivert goal v Chelsea as well Think so, like the yellow ball turns white when they celebrate. Not 100% sure but isn't the signing of that other striker like a month before the end of the season.. Yeah it's something daft like that. The timeline in it is really muddled up. It's watchable though, they're meant to be making a third one where he plays for Argentina, or are, or have, or whatever. Mexico? Aye, Mexico even. I read somewhere ages ago it'd be Argentina I'm sure.. ahh well. Wonder if Sven'll be in it again

2010. Cheers Does that mean the next home kit will only be for one season then, or will they just changed the sponsor?

Surely the Northern Rock sponsorship is nearly up? How much longer are we stuck with them?

Some of our current players would get destroyed in masters football.

You're probably getting at this and I'm being dense but Robson said we should go for Steve Bruce a few times in the last year or so..

I agree with this.

He looked similar in his first season at Depor to how he has for us to be honest. Generally a good defender with some questionable performances here and there. The guys on the Depor forums said he'd take a season to properly settle in at least with us when we signed him.

Every player is allowed an off day. He played woeful today but I've seen enough of him this season to know that he's not Taylor-esque. He was terrible today though.

It's a red card if you're stopping an obvious goalscoring opportunity.. so straight on at goal with no-one but the keeper to beat. With a player on the line there's doubt in the outcome and so the opportunity is no longer 'obvious'.

Obviously, yes. But what if the offense starts at point A and continues to point B so it is still the original infringement and not a new one? As I saw it Bassong kept hold of Heskey until he was in the penalty box and then Heskey dived. You can hardly count every seperate tug on a shirt as a different foul. It's a different situation to Bassong tugging his shirt, letting him run 8 yards and then doing it again.

to be fair heskey was pulled back constantly for about 20yds so the ref could have pulled it up at any point. at no point after entering the box did bassong do anything likely to stop heskey proceding. Exactly, it was the wrong decision. Play should have been brought back to the original impedance. Whether it was a red or not is another matter but as I remember it he was the last defender so it was in all probability a red card. I'd have to see it again though. there was defo a pull just outside the box aswell. the ref coyuld have done it then had he wanted. the ref can pull it back to whichever foul he sees fit.whichever one he thinks will give most advantage to the team fouled against. No, it's the original offense that gets penalised. As as referee you can allow play to continue if it will benefit the infringed team and pull back play to the original offense if the advantage doesn't ensue at the time. Unless they've changed the rules in the last 2 years that is.

He's a smoggie isn't he? Always gets like this against us and the Mackems.
