You've made option 3 irresistable. I added it for higher degree of credibility Do the clippings work? PM me if you want to know, i don't want to seem like some kind of freaky stalker I thought you had to get your clippings under thier bed. :parky: Unfortunately it's a lot harder than it sounds

All our deliveries are either coming from the wings in the form of a cross (heading isn't one of owen's strengths) or long balls from the half way line, again not to his srrengths. Owen thrives on through balls down the middle and he rarely, if ever gets them right now.

It's terribly unbecoming to poke fun at the mentally challenged

After another less than stellar performance by easily our best-known player, i wonder what you lot think of him.

I think Owen is surviving on his legacy alone, his performances thus far have been poor whether its because: A) He's been irreparably damaged by injury B) He's past it or.. as some of the more intelligent people of the forum politely put it: C) He's a lazy-only-plays-for-england-crock As one of the more sensible posters i fail to see why you've added the likes of mickey in your best 11

True about the 2nd part, but I just don't know about Barnes. 70 games and 10 goals isn't bad for a midfielder at 19. Nah i'd take him too, just saying that according to their fans he's not even the best player at what is, let's face it, a championship club playing in the premiership.

I talked to some derby supporters and they think barnes is hugely overrated and would pounce on any offer that exceeds 4 million pounds. Diego wouldnt come here, naldo wouldn't either

Yep, and he wasn't even being sarcastic. Steve "quick-wit" 69 has duped us all and produced a gem of an ironic comment. I'm surprised you fell for it andmeister.

"Favourite books: I don't read much really"

Shows the potential to be a good player, but methinks the child shall be no world-beater

He didn't do thaaaat well, but for a 18 (was it?) year old he looked promising with the ball. The only one playing it on the ground aswell.

Stoke's manager saw how intrumental duff was in the first half and as a consequence played the central defender more on the right side to counter this. This kind of tactical nous is what managers are supposed to implement but Sam, as of late, seems clueless. Maybe its the pressure, maybe its dawning on him that his beloved 4-3-3 system cannot work for the toon or maybe he's got down's syndrome and nobody notices it because he wears such nice clothes- either way i'm all in favour of supporting the man but at times (now for instance) the very reason i wanted him to come here alludes me. Why did we (in general) want him in the first place? I say stick with for at least another season and back him well, if not then its time we secure a certain former lyon and liverpool manager's services.

Overrated

He's allright: good in the air, decent finisher and zany white hair However he's way too slow and is seriously underachieving right now. We have good strikers at the moment but the service has always been poor and ushering in more overpriced youngsters right now is not what we need. Creative midfielder and a pacey RW pretty please.

My head hurts

A win: "Newcastle scraped through with a rather unconvincing 2-0 win at Championship side Stoke city amidst a chorus of boos" A loss: "Fans call for Allardyce's head as his newcastle team crashes spectacularly out of the FA cup to Championship side Stoke city"

Harry-norway must've committed suicide

Petrov is just pure class

Worse are the "fans" that left at 75 minutes

*puts clothes back on* Miserable second half performance

You'll be the only one who knows what the 90 in my name stands for then

I'm watching the match in the nude, so its 3 points already
