  1. He's right. their role models whether they like it or not
  2. 1 last hurrah in the groups (ie lose every game and dont even get europa league) then the following year qualifiers for the winner of the spl so no more scottish teams in cl proper
  3. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-1278561/Charles-Sale-Sir-Alex-Ferguson-forgets-table-manners-Football-Writers-do.html?ITO=1490 Obviously not fans of Ashley and Llambias. The local journo from the Daily Mail was on Radio Newcastle earlier this week and said the Mail had been banned from SJP since last October. He said the Sunday Sun was also banned but that the club had indicated they might be withdrawing that ban but were not softening in their stance to the Mail. He has been paying to get into the games and next season the Mail are buying a season ticket. He never mentioned what the reason was other than it involved others higher up than himself. the fact the daily mail prints shite and are usually wrong in whatever they print about us? (remember the jfk to return story ) plus the club needs to keep the local rags onside, the national ones they obviously show more disdain towards
  4. estimated 32m according to the statement
  5. In all honesty, if Colo did make the final squad and did get to play in the World Cup, I'd be more worried about his stock going down after a bad game or two. He's been class for us this year, but there's still this nagging suspicion that higher calibre strikers than the ones we've been facing on a weekly basis in the Championship might not be so forgiving. Eto'o, Raúl, Real Ronaldo, Forlán, Villa, Torres, Van Nistelrooy. well to be fair ,when Colo played for Depor he played against some of those mentioned ,as well as other top class strikers week in week out and didn`t look out of place at all in that time. That's what I meant, these are the forwards he faced while at Deportivo. And it's not like they leaked goals like there was no tomorrow, Deportivo were a solid defensive side. Heck, Real Madrid never won at Riazor during the years Coloccini was there and I'm talking about a side that had more stars than probably most national teams he'd face at the WC and they shut them out often. It's a fair point (to an extent - we know that Depor fans liked him, but you have to take into account the possibility that they've ignored his failings because both he and the team overall had done alright for them, along with other factors like maybe expectation/pressure being lower?). But the last time he was up against those sorts of strikers he just looked very poor by the time the season ended, with certain flaws being established as being part of his game (too easily turned, not able to do anything to make up lost ground, etc etc - which is why so often the £10m price tag or "international centreback" tag were brought up that year) - e.g. Torres who left him for dead at will whenever we played Liverpool. I think the same could be said of many defenders, not just Colo man. Exactly man, he is a Premiership quality defender and definitely good enough for us but to say that he must be able to stop the likes of Torres, Drogba and Rooney consistently (especially given our poor midfielders) is bordering on crazy. If all premiership defenders could stop these players, then the likes of Torres, Drogba and Rooney would not considered amongst the world's best strikers would they! yup torres has left vidic for dead quite a few times does that make vidic shit?
  6. the beckham circus is never going to end is it? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2972412/Becks-to-coach-England-at-World-Cup.html

  11. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/134877/Gianfranco-Zola-axed-and-West-Ham-won-t-pay-him-3-5m-compensation/ Absolute madness. Embarassing too. fucking hell they're trying to pull zola breached his contract by "attacking the board" despite the fact they were undermining him at every turn. since when is not agreeing with the boards idea about selling every one of the managers players breaching a contract? those two reach new lows every week

  17. ken bates calls everton a "two bob club" http://www.sport.co.uk/news/Football/38101/Beckford_move_to_two-bob_Everton_still_on_says_Bates_____________________________________________.aspx
  18. this does seem to be true, so if we have an income of roughly 80-100m take out 40m for wages i suppose the 20m for the overdraft and whatever other costs it doesn't leave much change does it
  19. gutted for colo :colo: we need a sad face colo smiley
