For those who have no access to SSN, all the goals are on youtube.

I take him at a push, but its not that hard to understand, shirley? Turned us down and went all alledgedly rapey. the whole court case hanging over his head on a rather serious charge is one obvious reason Forgot about the rape thingy....

Don't understand why people are against Remy coming here with the current squad that we have. He has already proven that he is useful in the PL. That's more than you could say in January.

I think he would shine with the style Pardew makes us play. If I remember correctly he prefers to play alone at top and is good at it. His last season was a poor one, with half of his goals coming against lower league clubs, so you never now if, he might be past his best.

We missed out on: Gomis - done ok with Lyon Gaimero- Has had limited opertunety with PSG Gervinho- Has been a disappointment with Arsenal Erdinc - Has done ok with PSG and Rennes Luuk de Jong - Had a disappointing season with Mönchengladbach Remy - did reasonably well in a disappointing QPR team It's not like any of the players we missed out on have turned out to be superstars. Not really bothered we are missing out on PEA to Dortmund. More bothered about my lack of faith that we will bring in what is needed during the summer.

We would be better with him in our squad.

He was our captain and didn't apologise or anything for our relegation. He was too busy trying to make up positive words for the brochure to get him a new club. He is a self promoting little c***, 99% of players will put themselves first but this little w***** really took it to another level and spent his entire career worrying about 'Brand Owen', in fact he is still doing it now. Did any of our players apologies? Don't remember it honestly. I his branding and the brochure is bothering people, then fair play, it doesn't bother me however. Maybe I've just become to emotionally detached to football after the Ashley roller coaster. Making him captain was however a mistake.

I don't really get the big distaste everybody has for Owen. Sure, he didn't do his best during his relegation season, but that goes for everybody who played for us that year, and there is a reason for it. He started out really well before he got injured against Spurs and also had a good spell under Keegan.

Yes, you were, just thought it was a bit misleading. Felt like winding you up a bit Not the best attempt I admit.

You never know with you, Ronaldo. You always talk with a bit of superiority attitude, which is a good style on a football chat board.

Best 3rd striker in over 10 years, tbh. Not sure if you mean 3rd best striker in the last 10 years, if so your wrong. If your talking about best 3rd striker, then I wont even bother to check if I agree.

It's not a big change. Pardew never had final say on transfers, that was Lambias job. Carr still ahead of scouting, but instead of pushing players to Lambias he is pushing them to Kinnear.

Surely not! Not really, but it will make you feel better when you hear the fee of 15m...... Don't really care what the fee is, it doesn't matter the slightest for us fans. Don't think it will change any transfer plans for the summer.

Heard the fee was close to 8m pounds.

Has San Lorenzo ever bid for Coloccini? My understanding is that they have wanted him for free, I don't count that is bidding.

How can West Ham afford that if Newcastle can't, unbelievable. #FFP I personally would love him back if it wasn't for his injuries. According to that article his now injured for 6 weeks and he only played 25 games this year. Of course it's not a sure thing he will be mr.sicknote, but it is an indicator which I don't like. I'm 50/50 on this although I voted "Yes".

Clever...

You all have such a lack off cultural understanding. THIS IS HOW THEY HUG IN SOUTH AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!! Stop picking on him you racists!!

penalty villa, benteke scores.

Nolan showing his limitations while Zog is showing his occasional flashes of a footballer.

It really is a boring game, Villa are nervous and west ham are shit.

Shoooollllllaaaaaaaaaaaaa

It was a brilliant pass to Santon for the first goal. He is such a class player and brings quality to the team. On top of that, I believe that he and Ben Arfa have a lot of influence in the quality players arriving to the club.

:mike:

Apparently he has a serious personal issue which is putting him in a tough spot, don't mind that at all and it is non of my business. What I don't get is, why write a letter to the fans of San Lorenzo, to apologize for not joining them now? What the fuck has that to do with his personal issues. He is the captain of Newcastle United and should not be pleading to fans of another team. Don't get me started on San Lorenzo, and their "pursuit" of Colo. They basically wanted one of the best defenders in the world for free and called that negotiations. Don't think he will let his head drop in the games to come, but he wont play with his heart.
