  1. Somebody go and make sure Disco is OK.
  2. Stefan Bienkowski ‏@SBienkowski 38,000 people have applied for the 2000 remaining season tickets at Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion. That’s enough to fill White Hart Lane.
  3. Surely they must have some indication that something is about to happen for it to be published in 3 papers? Or do I give the North East journos too much credit?
  4. Modric proving himself and flourishing deeper is what has made him so sought after really, if he was still playing as a more advanced midfielder or out wide like he did for a while he wouldn't be worth what he's worth right now. That ability to dictate games right in the middle is rare today. Sigurdsson still could be a replacement I suppose, but it would mean a change of style or re-structuring of the team.
  5. Not really. Modric plays far deeper, he's closer to a Van der Vaart replacement.
  6. Beardsley could have his own separate competition really Robert and Beardsley dominate my current working top 40 or so like.
  7. I'm quite interested to see whether your promising academy players start moving to Udinese rather than the Premier League.
  8. Not enough facepalm in the world. This guy sums it up well: Daniel NUFC Brown ‏@DanielBrown666 @lee_ryder seriously lee, it's the most fake account I've seen for fuck sake man.
  9. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/07/03/transfer-talk-twitter-account-for-mathieu-debuchy-adds-fuel-to-fire-72703-31316848/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
  10. I'm gonna do it on purely quality/aesthetically pleasingness of the goals. That said, extra brownie points if they're big moments and I have included Feyenoord earlier in the list.
  11. Added the one against Bradford I've them ordered into a rough 100 list now, problem with these is that it is largely subjective. The quality of the goals is also very high, I could have one of them 95th or 16th and it wouldn't look out of place either way.
  12. The second quote was posted on here already. Edit: the last bit of it might be new actually
  13. He's 36 in 2 days 2 year deal as well. One of the weirdest signings in a long time that one.
  14. Quite annoying that they're picking Euro 2012 players but we're refusing to for whatever reason. I don't see why somebody like Phil Jones can't play when he didn't kick a ball at the Euros.
  15. You even got to play a quarter final against England ffs. That's like a bye.
  16. Easy to forget we started those qaulifiers with luxemburgo who ended being sacked for naming players to squad where hed get a comission when they were sold to europe. To then get leao who was crap. That team was absolutely amazing and probably only worse than brazil 70 and the non winning cruyff side. Yet had a piss easy run in the tournament. Spain side is definitely stronger.
  17. They were slated pre-tournament for being shaky at the back and not being able to pass water nevermind the ball in midfield. Scolari just managed to pull it together once the tournament came around, found a system and line-up that work and it was a real breakthrough for the likes of Ronaldinho and Lucio who went on to become 2 of the best of their generation afterwards. Not to mention being a final swansong for Rivaldo - who's club career plummited the following season with Milan. They also benefitted from a tournament of upsets and big-hitters crashing out early. Netherlands didn't even qualify, France and Argentina (pre tournament favourites) crashed out in the group stages, Italy/Spain both done by homer refs. Even the Germany side that got to the final relied on a heroic tournament from Kahn and was hardly vintage. They were a really fun team to watch built on solid foundations but I'd definitely fancy that Spain side to beat them.
  18. Easy to forget that Brazil side struggled through qualifying and pre-tournament was regarded as one of the weakest Brazil sides in a long time.
  19. Just looks like another attention seeking twittertwat making stuff up to me. ‏ '@Richard_agent82'
