Have to disagree with that. The season where we were turning around scorelines week after week when Robson was here (the 4-3 Leeds season) the squad were fantastically fit Yeah suppose, but towards the end of the 2003 season we faded alot. Wasn't that due to Bellamy's injury? Bellamy was fantastic that season. Even Sir Alex said that if he hadn't gotten injured we might have got the title.

Which fantasy football game is that?

I went to my first match this season today. I invited my son with me. All in all it cost me about 1200 quids all in all for flight, car, hotel and food. Didn't see the best match but it was worth it anyway. Will come back next year. Didn't hear any booing from the milburn stand.

Why would Birmingham think they could get Lippi, why do Sunderland fans think they can stay up? Why did I sleep with my boss and ask for a raise? You dont ask you dont get, everythings worth a punt and everyone needs hope, even if it means waking up with a sore arse and a head full of shattered memories you get that raise?

I say, if we can get him for 3-4m then go get him, we must take some risk in the market.

Would much rather improve Newcastles Lualua than Arsenals Walcott.

Trying to read to much into the press, bad choice. I'm not bothered if we buy no players in january. Sam needs more time and hopefully he'll get a full backing in the summer transfer window and a season after that before we judge him. It's the only way to success.

Keane really wasted some money there.

Best birthday present I could have gotten Smith had an excellent match.

This is just stupid, Alan should know that Solano is going nowhere.

Believe me, Gretar Steinsson does not have pace, just like 99% of all Icelandic internationals.

Here is a french newspaper stating the same: http://www.lemonde.fr/web/depeches/0,14-0,39-31875456@7-37,0.html

Perhaps they are confusing Zoggy with Boumsong.

Their summer is actually in February in Ghana. They're on the other side of the equator so their seasons are opposite to ours.

Two questions that got nothing to do with this thread. What does IIRC stand for and what does ITK stand for? I know ITK is some sort of a internal source giving news on chat board, my best guess is Internal Transfer Knowledge?

Isn't this the same news the ran last week? I might be wrong but I think skysports are just repeating them selfs.

City have confirmed they've sold Barton to Newcastle: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pageid=115&pagegid=%7BDBD12D53%2D8346%2D431D%2DA04F%2D5D0F8664DE80%7D&newsid=434184&siteid=&pageno=&newscategory=1051&frommonth=4&fromyear=2007&tomonth=6&toyear=2007 Newcastle made an improved bid for 5.8m (300k more than the clause was for). Perhaps Newcastle settled the case with paying City 300k more and city pay Barton the 300k loyalty bonus?

Must be rather tiresome to always have to comment on press rumors. I think he made it pretty clear earlier this year when he said he'll stay as long as we'll have him. Shearer has also spoken for him that he should not have to reject the rumors. I'm quite satisfied with Owen staying silent.

Well, I don't have any special sources, only the icelandic press. Hope your right

Eidur has stated himself that he is not interested to move away from Barca in a interview with the icelandic press. His father (agent) has also stated that Eidur wants to fight for his place at barca. Would love to see him at Newcastle, being Icelandic, but not going to happen.
