cheers for the kind words guys i'd be well chuffed if the yellow and green made a comeback. here's a bash at a black and white one http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2091/home2009pr5.jpg

To be honest, I'm surprised we're doing as well as we are after those departures. I'm not getting too carried away though as we face a pretty tough January with 3 games against Sevilla (2 cup), away trips to both Barca and Real Madrid and a home game against Villarreal on that last weekend. (Plus another 2 games against Valencia in the cup if we get past Sevilla) Guardado and Lafita have both done brilliantly so far this year, which probably means they'll be sold soon The trouble with selling to English clubs (from our perspective) is that even if we could buy back for around the same money, we couldn't really afford the wages which seem to multiply once a player sets foot in a Premiership club. As much as I'd like to see Xisco back at Depor, I really can't see it happening as the debts at our club have forced us into a selling club. I'd be surprised if Xisco would go to a Segunda club and even more surprised if they could afford him. I reckon if you do sell him, it would be to a midtable Spanish club and as a Mallorcan, he might fancy a move back there if Freddy Shepherd pulls his finger out and buys the island club. How do you know about Estrella Galicia, Benwell Lad??? You have somewhere in Newcastle that sells it? Talking of beers, you need to I haven't seen it in Newcastle, although you can buy just about every other beer on the planet nowadays. I have drank it during visits to Galicia, ( mainly Vigo :-[ ) and enjoyed the food too. A beautiful part of the world, but I laugh when people say "will Spanish players cope with the English climate ?" - your weather is nearly as bad as ours ! i think they might have it in tilley's... i asked for a an estrella there (meaning estrella damn barcelona in bottle) and the fella at the bar asked which estrella i wanted bottle or from tap, and i pointed to the bottles to what i wanted, but for the one on tap he might have meant estrella galicia, not sure cos i was canny wankered at the time but it's worth asking if you're in there

how's about this for an away one, back to the yellow and green... http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/838/yellowngreenio5.jpg

if only we'd put a sell on clause in the parker sale to west ham.... still wish appiah was on our 'to sign' list

i wonder if arsenal put a sell on clause in the deal to pompey, hence the 'substantial' offer from madrid? if we'd pulled our finger out we could have maybe signed him at the same time as n'zogbia, i'm sure diarra played for le harve too.

if owen does leave habib should definitely be given the captains arm band, he seems like such a top bloke as well as a cracking RB

i wouldn't mind a swap deal smith for mc.carthy or gamst pedersen, but it's probably highly unlikely

am i right in remembering he did apply before ince but they said no?!

maybe there is a use for him after all then lol

that would be a help, swap him alan smith for stephen warnock

He's probably not seen them yet. either that or he's brown-nosing kinnear to not sell him

hehehe

he falls over a lot and tries to steal a good 6-10 yards on every free kick?

lol that's a crazy headline, strange stuff like that has happened in the past though. danny dichio @ QPR as it was, ray wilkins was manager at the time and pissed off at dichio not signing a contract ' he's waiting for juventus to come in for him ' and then sampdoria did a couple of weeks later, auld butch wilkins looked a bit daft

*puts tin hat on* i liked kluivert, didn't think he did too badly but i don't think we ever saw him at his best because of souness. he didn't want to upset shearer too much by not playing him and dropped kluivert, then he rushed kluivert back from injuries too soon to partner shearer because of his falling out with bellamy, from what i remember...

scolari wants him allegedly, sounds like maybe a replacement for drogba if he goes

eh? tent thing? i've not heard anything about that

i'd take him back, wouldn't pay as high as £5m though, maybe £2/3m
