Probably playing just behind Owen, so a 5 man midfield.

Not that they'd ever want to go there but there is no way Cisse would be able to take his friends Beye, Martins, Zoggy, Jonas and Taylor out in Sunderland without there being trouble from the locals. So that makes us the bigger people. Moral victory.

¿Qué? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Duff Ok I'll re-phrase. ¿Por qué?

¿Qué?

So do I but we just have to keep building and moving forward. Owen has to look after Owen and we have to look after Newcastle. About time some fucker did

Contract talks have broken down between him and Betis and this has alerted Kinnear to pick his interest up in him again. The defeners contract expires in June 2009 and he wants the next one to be 'the one of his life'. He says that his first choice would be Betis and that he'd like to stay there for another 3 or 4 seasons but 'it cannot be'. The fact that we have Xisco and Jose Enrique will be a plus for him but we'll face competition from Atletico Madrid and Villareal.

He's hardly a coward for not wanting to decide on a very important decision that'll affect potentially the rest of his playing career.

Good job you don't run the clubor we'd be more f***ed than we are now

Cisse & Martins could destroy defences. Did Sunderland have an option to buy?

Top 6 ey?

Fair enough

Good player, not a priority for us at the moment. We'll see what strikers we're left with come June

Yeah but on the other side of the coin Sven is an excellent club manager with loads of contacts throughout the footballing world. Can you remember just how knackered City looked before Sven came in and got them into europe in his first season? There's also the doing the double of Man Utd there. He played nice football as well. They also got humped 8-1 off Boro. How are things going for Sveny in Mexico? In the last game of the season.. we also got beat 5-1 by Man Utd when Keegan was in charge. We also beat Spurs 4-1, who went on to finish above us and had won the Carling Cup that year. One bad result doesn't define a season and if you look at Sven's managerial achievements then surely you'd see how good a manager he is. Is your argument for not liking him the fact that he's controversial or because you don't rate him as a manager?

Try doing the points to the relevant teams played rather than at a point in the season, it's a more realistic way of looking at the progress we may or may not have made. Infact I'll probably do it now. I'm that bored

Hahah, that's hilarious! Because of Dennis WISE! Geddit?! Brilliant. Fucking Brilliant!! I know you didn't mean it.

Besides, I quite like reading ridiculous tabloid stories. It reminds me that I'm a better person than the idiots that believe them.

better than that... i think we could get schuster.... I'd love Sven, I wanted him when he said he'd be interested in the job before we gave it to FSA.

It always amazes me how much of a joke we're perceived to be by other clubs. I know that we're far from being world beaters and we're almost always underachieving or in some sort of controversial mess, but we've got some class players at this club. Spurs haven't beat us at SJP in the league for years now and yet they talk as if we're Tranmere or something. This isn't exclusive to the Spuds either. I always try to go into games against any opponent with an unclouded view, but it's almost as if we're universally seen as a nothing club that's good for 3 points.

haha me too, makes him twitch like crazy Try and count how many times he blinks after the ball hits him. It's impossible

I love Redknapp when he's annoyed. It always cheers me up to see that clip of him on Youtube get the ball kicked at him by a Southampton reserve player.

ndrei Arshavin secretly flew to London to open transfer talks with an unnamed Premiership club after being given the all-clear to leave Zenit St Petersburg. The unsettled 27-year-old striker, who has been linked with Chelsea, Spurs and Real Madrid, has been told he can move in the January transfer window. And Arshavin flew to London and spent two days locked in talks with the Premiership side. Arshavin said: 'I went to London and it was on a business trip. 'But I was also lucky to find time for sightseeing in London. Me and my wife Yulia had a long walk around the capital of Britain, saw Trafalgar Square and many other places. "I'm very happy about it. When you visit these countries to play football you only see things through the window of the bus." Both Arshavin and his agent Dennis Lachter refused to name the club they were talking to. Anyone want to hazard a guess? Chelsea? City even?

On a side note, how shit did Bentley look? Oh.. and I always thought Enrique had a bit of speed in him, but he kept up with Lennon almost every time! We look good on the counter too.

Bentley being sodomised by Jonas.
