This I like.

Fake kits seem ok. When are the real kits being released?

And I would like a brief summary of any Newcastle-specific news from this summer

This is inspired by a debate I've had on another forum in regard to Lampard missing his last 2 penalties and my belief that with goalkeepers now aware that Lampard only ever places his penalties one way, it makes Lampard's task to score far more difficult. As a designated penalty taker, would you only have one system or would you have a few options? Lampard only has one - should he have more in his arsenal? As a goalkeeper, would you take note to previous attempts of opponents players. Would you have a set plan for each one and a predetermined dive direction?

A drawback for some, but I'd work round it no problem. Loved the Sydney Olympics and I love 'experiencing' World Cups in different countries/cultures.

I'd really like Australia to get a World Cup soon. Would prefer them to get it over us.

Cambiasso and Zanetti not going for Argentina... http://www.gifbin.com/bin/052009/1241699338_drogba-pissed-its-a-disgrace.gif

'There is no plan for new capital outlay on pies'

I'll only contemplate this 5-3-2 lark when I read a direct quote from Capello. It's not happening.

Seaman Neville Cole Ferdinand King Beckham Scholes Lampard Gerrard Shearer Rooney would be pretty wise.

I 100% doubt that adidas would sell a prototype strip design to the general public.

SWP? Fuck off

broken record etc.

I'd say a lot are. but there is going to be an 'elite few' who are in it to win things. As Ronaldo pointed out earlier, it will be noticeable.

The question is: knowing that A-E is only playing 'for the money', would you take him in your team? He wouldn't get anywhere near my team. Think I made this comment in my first post, but I want to see other peoples opinion.

Refreshing and honest. Not what some fans would want to hear though I'd expect. Wouldn't get anywhere near my team with that kind of mentality (if I was an EPL manager...).

What a man.

Real will look forward immensely to playing 90 minutes without a single shot on target. they got rid of cappello in 2007 after winning the league following a very barren spell 'cause the football was shite, be surprised if they went for mourinho Yes, but Cappello's first spell in the mid-90s was almost identical. They brought him back in knowing his style of play. It shows that when they get desperate they will resort to employing a manager who can win (regardless of style).

Well you are wrong.

How is OGS a cunt?

Crouch is atrocious in the air.

I really like Wilson. Doesn't mean he's a good player, just that I like the way he plays football.
