I think, we have finally found a forum, worse than RTG.

http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~2912340,00.html? Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew, along with Shola Ameobi, Steven Taylor and Mike Williamson, got on their bikes for charity today. The quartet joined Villa club masseurs Alex Butler and Andy Smith - and former England international footballer Geoff Thomas - on the second leg of their cycle challenge Pedal for Petrov, in support of captain Stiliyan Petrov. As a group, they did a lap of the Sports Direct Arena pitch before the masseurs and ex-Crystal Palace midfielder Thomas hit the road again on the second leg of their gruelling charity ride. Pedal for Petrov sawthe two masseurs start at Petrov's former club Celtic on Tuesday and they willcycle up to 80 miles a day over the following five days, finishing at Villa Park. They are hoping to raise £250,000 for blood cancer charity Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research. As well as the Sports Direct Arena, there are several other stops at Barclays Premier League football clubs en route, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton. "It's fantastic," centre-back Williamson said. "Any events like this I love to be a part of and to encourage. It's a great cause and fantastic to meeting the lads and see the sort of effort they are going through over the next few days. "There are some tough days ahead of them, physically and mentally, but the Villa masseurs aregoing the extra mile for the charity and deserve a lot of credit for that. "It highlights the camaraderie and spirit within football clubs. You work together every day, build bonds and if someone is in trouble or needs help then everyone does whatever they can to support. "I have played against Stiliyan a couple of times over the years. He's a fantastic player and as good guy as well. We all wish him a speedy and full recovery." Jonathan Andrews, fundraising director at Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, said: "We are inspired by Alex and Andrew taking on this 400-mile Pedal for Petrov challenge. "And we are so grateful that they are supporting Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research's life-saving work. The valuable funds they are raising will help us find better treatments and cures for patients with blood cancers including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma." Rock band Ocean Colour Scene are set to play their hits at a special fundraising dinner at the end of the challenge. Lead singer Simon Fowler and drummer Oscar Harrison are performing an acoustic set at the event, which is set to take place in the Holte Suite on Sunday September 9. There will be a champagne reception and a delicious three-course meal for you to enjoy at the dinner, as well as a raffle and auction. All proceeds raised will be donated to Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research. The price of a table of ten is £600 including VAT while individual seats are £60 including VAT per person. To reserve your places please contact Rebecca Starkey by email [email protected] or call 0800 612 0960 (option two). Alex and Andy have already raised over £40,000 through their Just Giving page and they have also set up a text message donation service. Text Stan91, followed by the amount you wish to donate, to 70070. You can also make a donation by visiting the Just Giving page - click here.

http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20120814/oldham-res-1-newcastle-res-2_2281670_2882446? Young Adam Campbell's memorable week continued as he scored for the Reserves in their final friendly of the summer at Oldham's Chapel Road training ground. The 17-year-old impressed on his first-team debut at Cardiff on Saturday and gave Newcastle's second-string the lead with a poachers' goal against the Latics. Bradden Inman doubled the advantage before a trialist pulled one back for the hosts, but manager Willie Donachie - returning to one of his former clubs - felt the Magpies deserved the win, although Jak Alnwick made some important saves in the United goal. Campbell put his team ahead as he got in front of a defender at the near post to divert Yven Moyo's low cross into the net before Inman scored with a smart finish. The visitors were also denied what seemed a certain penalty when Michael Richardson was brought down after cutting inside to shoot. Oldham included former Newcastle youngster Dan Taylor but despite scoring late on, they couldn't force an equaliser as Newcastle gained a confidence-boosting victory ahead of their opening game of the Barclays Under-21 Premier League against Tottenham on Saturday. Newcastle United Reserves: Jak Alnwick, Alex Nicholson (sub Steven Logan), Lubo Satka, Curtis Good, Yven Moyo (sub Michael Riley), Marcus Maddison (sub Brandon Miele), Conor Newton, Michael Richardson, Mehdi Abeid, Bradden Inman (sub Dennis Knight), Adam Campbell (sub JJ Hooper)

My all time favourite left back, superb back in the day.

Why? They have a very average squad. I agree, but it shouldn't be. I think that comment from Gerrard was about letting fans know that he and the squad recognises they had a poor season, they are a big name, that have spent a lot of money on players, so he has a point when he says that LFC should finish higher.

He's just saying Liverpool should expect better and to be fair, they should.

Oh, I'm sure the lad shall love 52,000 angry jawdees screaming in his face every time he touches the ball when things aren't going there way. And do you seriously think, that the lad is going to make one of the biggest moves in his career so far, based on his best mate Yo Cabz.

How much has been spent on it? Does anyone actually know the amount? According to this article Mike Ashley spends 1.8 million, on the academy annually. It's worth pointing out that the academy is probably funded by the club also. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/02/22/nufc-academy-aims-to-be-among-the-very-best-72703-30379504/
