Aye nice idea that. I'd love Ashington to create a murial of some sort, then again fitting in not 1 but 2 world cup winners, Newcastle's 2nd top all time scorer and a 2 time Ashes winning cricketer amongst others would be pretty difficult like.

I think we'll come absolutely flying out the traps and win 3-0. Quarters is my bet for how far we'll get though.

£5 on Diego Milito to finish with the Golden boot returns £330. £10 on Uraguay to reach the quarters returns £60 Surely worth a punt?

Diego Milito 36/1 to win the golden boot. Worth a shot?

Pretty damn sure Keane fell out with him at Sunderland. I know at the time many of their fans felt he didnt get a fair crack of the whip. was that a deliberate itk jokey thing there ? Erm...yes, it sure was Nah, i'm pretty sure it's common knowledge amongst the unwashed that he fell out with Keane.

Whats the chances of Seamus Coleman going out on loan from Everton? He was impressive in the championship last season.

Spain beating Holland in the final for me.

I think he'll do well there. Regardless of your opinion on the farcical scenes that undoubtedly culminated in our relegation a year ago today, you still cannot doubt his managerial ability tbh. Weather your in the "he's a bottler and he should have stayed" camp or the "he was right all along to walk away" brigade, either way he did well here. He turned a clearly dejected side into a team that played some cracking free flowing football despite having a midfield of Geremi, Barton and Nicky Butt. The excitement after that draw at old trafford was fantastic, if you'd have said we'd have been relegated come the end of the season everybody would have laughed in your face. Football wise he's still a good manager imo, the language barrier may be more of a problem being a manager but I have every faith in him purely as a football manager. If he does go there, weather he'll last more than 1 season is an argument for another day, yesterday in fact.

Liverpool away was painful like. After that I think I pretty much conceded that we weren't going to stay up. It wasn't necessarily the result as I fully expected us to lose, it was the way we went about it, if ever there was an absolutely gutless performance to sum up last season, it was Liverpool away. Fucking hate Anfield too.

So what is the need for our friend Derek now? He didnt seem to do much apart from release the odd bollocks'd up statement and run about with his chebs out.

Gutted for Clarky like.

Still yet to demonstrate why we shelled out 5M and a shit load of wages for him.

Boyd's record in Scotland is 2nd to none. 2005–06 17 17 2006–07 32 20 2007–08 28 14 2008–09 35 27 2009–10 32 23 There's no gurnatee's he do anything in the PL but with a scoring record like that, signing him on a free is a no brainer for me.

I think Damiano Tomassi did something similar at Roma once didnt he?

At Hull? I know Bullard is supposed to be on stupid wages but I can't imagine many of their players would have been? I dont know like, they're supposed to have a 40M wagw bill and Mendy coming from PSG and being released now could suggest he's one of the higher earners. Regardless though, I still dont think he's worth taking on tbh.

Wouldn't bother with Mendy. I dont think he's better than anything we've got, I suspect he could be on high wages too. He's obviously a player with the ability, very very quick, he can beat him man too. He just doesn't do it on a consistent basis.

Been here 11 year, good luck to him whatever he does.

Something about a mark of respect after 10 years with addidas iirc.

No, nobody has, though hypothetically speaking if he was to become available, I'd take him for under 5M.

For under 5M I'd take him like, I'm not sure you can justify spending over 5M on a 24 year old striker that scored 4 goals in 38 apps, especially in the financial situation we find ourselves in at the minute.

Ah, thought it might have been you. You've put together some quality video's there like.

Didnt know where else to put this but; is Tooj on here also Toojling on Youtube by any chance?

No idea what he's on at the beeb but even so, he shouldn't really be in it for the money. Especially when he's already made so much and he's wanting to get into management anyway. We'll have to wait and see, I'd like to see him back in management somewhere soon and I certainly cant see a prem club willing to pay him big wages taking him on so if he wants to get back into the game, he's going to have to take a pay cut somewhere down the line.
