Some save by the best goalkeeper in the world.

Advocaat on Arshavin leaving Zenit "That will happen, I have no doubts about that and we will have to start again,"

We have to show our interest in the player if we want to sign him. We will face competition from more attractive clubs and I just hope that we can offer the highest wages. That's all we have when we are competing with clubs that have European football next season.

Boumy's looking good.

Well I'm glad France are going out. They've been properly gash in this tournament. Boring too, and I don't like that.

Agreed. I usually like France but they have been absolutely dire in this tournament.

Christ if Villa are a nothing club then what are we?

 

Shiteam is that you ??

 

Remind me who has finished above us over the past two seasons? Oh yeah, villa!

 

A Whole two seasons ! Fantastic !

Villa have a far more promising future than us.

What about Danijel Pranjic? Seems class for Croatia. Very good going forward and got himself 2 assists in 3 games.

He looks good, far better than Duff anyway.

lets move on. We should concentrate our efforts on not so famous and so-called 2nd tier players like Emana and such. There is no point going after the likes of Turan and the other Euro2008 stars. If we continue this day dream, will miss out on both sets of players and will be even worse. I will delighted if we sign the so-called unknowns from Ligue 1 that we are linked too. Have a feeling Mike Ashley has similar thoughts: to sign lesser players at lower costs and wages and see them bloom aka Arsenal strategy, that explains the non-activity. Yes we did go for a semi-famous player in Modric but he rejected us....in a way a lesson to MA which i am sure he is embracing now. So move on and sign players that can improve the squad at lower costs. also save us the embarrassment of losing out so called bigger clubs like Spurs.

It's Arda Turan He's a Turkish International playing for Galatasaray, you'd think you were talking about some world superstar ffs

do not be deluded. even he is too ambitious a transfer for us. u think we are some top 6-7 club...anyway Gala is a much bigger club than us. Even players like Pander and Afellay will think twice joining us. we should go for players like Larsson and Kapo, better-than-what-we-have players that come cheap and that would be a step-up for them if they join us.

i don't think anyone is falling for your wind up anymore

 

only fools will fall for it cos it is not a wind-up. if we can escape relegation next season with this current squad, i will jump for joy like i did when we escape relegation last season. i am being realistic about our team in general as my nickname says in anger/jest; s*** team. but still love the club whether u believe it or not cos i dun care.

 

The team you love, great! Well then lets reminisce friend, about the time Liam O'Brien rifled the ball into the mackem's net, or the time when Andy O'Brien repeated the feat. Lets talk about the fact that Sunderland fans are a bunch of deluded toss-wanks, supporting a team that could not even come close to signing the calibre of player we have. Lets laugh at them as we take their money (sic) to build a magnificent metro system, and use their taxes (sic) to fund council based projects making Newcastle one of the premier UK cities while Sunderland, down the road, is a rotting, stinking tramp of a place. Lets thnk of the 4-1. How great was that when Shearer smacked that penalty past them? Lets think about qualifying for the champions league, watching them become the worst team in history, and Howard Wilkinson. Should all bring a smile to your face. Finally, lets think about Keano, chortle together as we watch him spunk another 40 million on s**** players as their fans still proclaim he is the messiah for narrowly escaping relegation on the back of that spend. Should be great fun for a fellow NUFC fan. Brings a smile to my face anyway.

 

 

another deluded joker

 

What, you don't like thinking of the good times? Or is it that your interpretation of the good times is the day Derby surpassed your 's**** team' record?

 

no no no...i meant u are deluded as u think i am a sunderland fan. last time i say i am a newcastle fan and even though my nick name is shiteam, it is in jest and yes i recognise that we have a very weak team,  top 10 team at stretch and unable to attract rising stars like Turan. not angry or bitter, just accepted th fact we are no longer such an attraction. admit that Spurs and Everton and even Pompey are our benchmarks. used to be just like you deluded and navie thinking we are big and good. few seasons ago, changed my mindset....faced the facts. i posted b4 that we will fight relegation and have a weak team, laughed at but i am right. been repeating all these...fed up.....to all u deluded fans, sorry if i offend u guys but leave me alone to my view that we are average and this season another relegation fight and we are not a top 10 team yet. hoping we will establish ourselves as top 10 in few years....read my posts, i am really happy when we won games and avoid relegation. been a fan for years and will always be.....my grandparents are geordie but brought up in france still consider myself a geordie...dun ask me why i am brought up in france....bad memories. judge me when i am wrong not yet proven wrong or right this season; relegation fight and no names like turan. already proven right...weaker team than the yesteryears when pple are moaning abt the dyers and bells, relegation fight last season when there are deluded pple thinking we can be top6. not going to repeat these.....so go on being a deluded fan; no right or wrong...i will continue to be a realistic fan (happy as long in Prem and Martins not sold as he is my new idol after shearer).

I agree with you.

Some people probably agree with you but either can't or won't open their eyes.

How exciting! A new website!

Gypsy?

Something I'd like to add, another young English top 4 reject spent some time on loan at two different Premiership clubs, but was not really going to be in with a sniff of first team football when he was to return to his parent club, is now being touted as a player beyond your means, one David Bentley. You've got to speculate to accumulate...

 

Your far too sensible for these shores. How I wanted us to sign Bentley after his first stint at Norwich, but it was the same type of things being said about Guthrie and Larsson now.

 

There is no guarantee these players will become as good as Bentley, but it is well worth taking a flier on a few of these types of players due to their reasonably cheap prices and potential for improvement.

Exactly. Both of these players had good seasons and Keegan does have the ability to make them even better.

It's not like we are able to sign the Luka Modric's of the world

Beye on the BBC Homepage.

I think it's fair to say he's making it in English football.

Of course he was fucking joking, think for fucks sake. Why would they go for Turan when they have two of the most promising attacking midfielders in the world?

Orlando Engelaar looked impressive the other day against Italy. He's a giant at 6'5 and looks good on his feet with the sight for a good pass and bravery to get stuck in.

Would like to see him in the centre of our midfield.

Joao Moutinho is no Hugo Viana, he's a far more aware and diverse player.

More to the point, neither of them would join a club not playing European football.

Spurs won't be interested, I doubt Arsenal will either.

Hopefully he'll stay.

Now, we won't be able to sign him.

 

Why? Can we only sign s*** players? Because if so, why are we selling Emre and Milner?

Other clubs will come in for him and he won't want to join us.

Rozehnal was awful today ...

Now, we won't be able to sign him.

Some of these comments really make me wonder if you have seen Arshavin play.

Apparently Luque and Nobby played an important role in bringing Enrique here, look where they are now.

I have got word from a friend who is an Arsenal supporter and lives in Finsbury Park (North London) that Richard Dunne was seen at White Harte Lane today. Apparently, he was still in his Ireland suit.

Is Rozehnal first choice for the Czech Republic this summer?

Yes.

He should feature in a defence consisting of Ujfalusi, Grygera, Jankulovski and of course himself.

Keegan out.

The first time football made me cry.

Your recollection of the names of the players involved is almost perfect

Just a bit of a pedantic twat then?
