To me it also is nice to show that MLS doesn't just take any old has-been to play in the league. They are actually trying to build quality sides in the MLS and won't take any ex-EPL player.
Always thought this guy looked like Taylor:

Not a footballing one but timely with the Olympics:

Dan Yemin is the lead singer of Lifetime/Paint it Black for those not in the know.
yes he is.
Seconded.
I have to agree - Berbatov oozes class. The one move that comes to mind is when he was outside of the box with his back to goal and a defender stuck to him. He popped the ball up and half volleyed it into the box right at Keane was running through to finish it off. His creativity up front and first touch are second to none.
Always thought Faye was miles better than Taylor, will be sad to see him go. Would've loved to see Coloccini/Faye at CB, strong arming the hell out of the likes of Rooney.
I have a funny feeling that the whole thing is wrapped up but they are waiting for the right time to announce it. I think he'll play in the Man U match and be announced <24hrs before the match is played.
Do you even read the other threads? Ashley has stated multiple times that the cash is there but they aren't going to go spending it on everything that moves - only players that want to be here and have the "newcastle heart"
I think that's pretty obvious as I really don't think he would've been at the match and Ashley having a shirt with Coloccini on it if it wasn't a done deal.
Heard a rumor that we're going to unveil three signings at once this week. The names being branded around were Coloccini, Derdiyok, and one "big" surprise. Anyone else hear these rumors? Any mileage?
Had to say I really enjoyed when Edgar scored against Man U - you could really tell how much it mattered to him, it was one of the purest forms of joy I had ever seen from scoring a goal.
I also love when Marlon King scores and he does the bow & arrow.
I'll be glad to have it over come Sunday evening - won't have to worry about going to OT the rest of the season.
That being said, I could see/would love to see us getting a draw.
