Less than 12 months for me. Out by Xmas.

The message boards will be unavailable until the evening of Wednesday 9th January at the earliest.

I like the Watford forum

That would blow my socks off.

I've always been a huge fan of Ashton, every time i've seen him play he's dominated defences. IIRC he said that he's modelled his game on Shearer. Ashton and Defoe would be an exciting partnership like.

This is true. Defoe has (since 2004).............. Started 87 games in the premiership and scored 43 goals Started 7 F.A Cup games and scored 5 goals Started 10 Carling cup games and scored 10 goals Started 4 uefa cup games and scored 6 goals Total = 108 starts and 64 goals Not good enough. Defoe OUT!

Awesome defender, potentially very good partnership with Faye.

Aye, delete that.

Class! (You posted that before right?) So I did

Beye Faye A.N.Other Enrique with Diarra in front of them certainly has the potential to be a very solid unit.

Defoe told he can leave Spuds

N'go West - To the Toon Baheng!

Former Newcastle winger Laurent Robert will sign for Derby on Tuesday, subject to international clearance. Frenchman Robert, 32, has impressed while training with the Rams, and manager Paul Jewell has signed him up until the end of the season. "His ability is unquestioned and this could be a good piece of business for us," Jewell told the club's website. "I'm convinced we'll get the best out of him here and if we do, we'll have quite a player on our hands." The ex-Newcastle and Portsmouth winger gets the chance of a return to England after having his contract cancelled by Spanish side Levante. The Frenchman joined Newcastle for £10.5m in 2001 and made 139 Premier League appearances in four years on Tyneside. 606: DEBATE We are in desperate need of a player who gets stuck in robrea After a half-season loan at Portsmouth, he moved to Benfica in January 2006, before joining Levante later that year. Jewell added: "Laurent's key quality is what he can do with the ball - he can unlock the door, make things happen and produce a bit of magic. "He hasn't cost us anything in terms of a transfer fee and we had the chance to have a good look at him in training before making a decision." Argentine striker Emanuel Villa and Danny Mills have already signed for the Rams with Robbie Savage also set to join from Blackburn.

Still a very good player. Even Shearer pre 97 would have struggled in this team.

If that's true then

Keegan was after Leeds wasn't it? If I'm right in that then we went to Forest (drew) then had the potatoes at home (drew) Yeah because one of his points was about Ferguson objecting to us playing Nottingham Forest on the Thursday, because we were involved in a testimonial for Stuart Pearce (?) at some stage, I think. Ian Woan. If we had held on for a point at Blackburn then beat Forest and Spurs we would have won the league. Or if we had drawn with ManU then beaten one of Forest or Spurs. So fecking close, essentially 2 goals would have won it for us. Beating Man United at SJP would have won it.

Not English football, but certainly a career: http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/1540/givenir9.jpg

Why would it alert us? No thanks. Overratedtastic.

FYP

That's a cracking day for us if Everton go out. Wouldn't mind Man U out either Shame we'll lose at Stoke

A draw? I'll be fucked off if we've got to take them back to St James' Park and try and fit in another fixture in, amongst the quagmire that is January. I wouldn't. All cup games are free

Quality player.

Fucking hell, Sam can't say anything without people moaning. All the poor bugger is trying to say is he wants to keep clean sheets. Nowt wrong with that.
