given their speed in the transfer market (nolan aside) i wouldn't hold my breath in them bringing in anyone quickly. given... speed... those were the days

the man's got balls of steel for taking the newcastle job while he's in ill health, he might not be the answer long term but get well soon joe!

i thought it was craig david too lol

true, those 2 goals against liverpool were sublime. it annoys me just because he's spanish and it isn't working out he gets called 'the new luque' and this was after about 2 games. hopefully he gets a chance cos he seems to have a good attitude

if he'd been dutch would he have been the new kluivert? or danish, the new tomasson?

This. He needs a rocket up his arse before every game and at half time. He has the talent but just enjoys the comfort zone. yup, that's exactly how my dad described him yesterday.

yeah glad to see villa doing well, good chairman/owner, good manager, nice fans, playing entertaining football the right way. let's hope they gatecrash the champions league places, and we do the same soon

best left back - john beresford

*sings* 40 years of hurt, never stopped us dreaming...

yup, especially with #37 on the back! he's definitely been the best we've had but we've all left shitty jobs in the past too. still didn't want him to leave like

he barely lost a headed challenge that match if i remember rightly

it's a nice gesture i think, couldn't imagine our lot doing that

nufc - solano, beardsley, albert, shearer, woodgate, d. kelly, gascoigne non nufc - maldini, r. koeman, stoitchkov, ronaldo, maradona, mcmanaman, beckham, kanchelskis, h. larsson, kluivert...

harps finally gets his chance to be our #1 and providing we stay up and if he plays well, do you think fabio capello might consider him for the world cup qualifiers for 2010? aside from david james / robert green we're really thin on the ground for decent keepers at international level. just thought i'd try to start a positive thread

that might be where from lol, seems to make sort of sense though if drogba's been itching to leave for a while and chelsea might get a player out of it too

i'd heard somewhere that if quaresma does well @ chelsea that inter would try to put some sort of swap deal for drogba forward in the summer

i think one of the ones i asked was 'do you realise that newcastle united and everything associated there with is fast becoming the biggest joke in the country?'

i have to say no, he's trying to use a puncture repair kit to fix the titanic. ringing sunderland to bid for richardson when we knew there was no chance of it happening, he might as well have rang real up and said 'we'd like to sign sneijder, no chance you say? ah well we knew you'd say that but how are you doing by the way? us? we're alright, just trying to make it look like we're trying to sign players...wink wink...nudge nudge'

hehehe

i always liked d. peacock to be honest, thought he was a decent player. do i remember him being captain at some point?

--------------------------harper--------------------- s. taylor------ coloccini ----- bassong ------enrique r. taylor ----------------nolan------------------- jonas -------------------------martins--------------------------- --------------viduka----------------lovenkrands--------- r. taylor crossing from the right, nolan controlling the middle, jonas cutting in from the left, lovenkrands and martins having the pace to get on the knockdowns from viduka's hold up play probably never happen like

what was that quote about from ashley last summer promising a 'wow' signing?

well he did think shola was carl cort, and he sold carl cort ... lol

money was available, meaning richard wasn't on the phone

i hope so, it is a bit of a pisstake. you shouldn't be permitted to be banned for games you're ineligible for, else there's no point in the ban
