Elliottman Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 http://www.shieldsgazette.com/nufc/Memories-of-Marcelino--Mallorca.4349929.jp Sir Bobby Robson didn't make too many mistakes in the transfer market, but Marcelino - signed by Newcastle United for £5m in the summer of 1999 - was one of them. No hatred, just more top quality journalism from Miles Starforth. WTF?! Didnt Guliit sign him?! is that what you mean by top quality!? Aye. Canny basic stuff for a local "journalist". thats pissing awful that. Think ill register to tell him how much of a plank he is. Insult to Bobby that story is!

Wullie Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Christ I hadn't even read further than the Bobby bit till Baggio pointed out inaccuracies (plural). Apparently we signed Luque from Mallorca too. What an absolute fuckwit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coloccini also attracted interest from Tottenham boss Juande Ramos but the North Londoners pulled out of the race Nice of them to step aside for once. Maybe they could kindly let us have Arshavin as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Love how the image is supposed to be him cruelly hacking down Roberto Carlos. "He battered a team mate" then four paragraphs later it says it was one late tackle, well fuck me, hang the twat out to dry. "There was outcry in Spain at the time with Gutierrez being compared to the likes of Lee Bowyer, Paul Gascoigne and even Mike Tyson." - What does that even mean? You couldn't make it up. They wouldn't dream of printing that sort of thing about any other club. A bad tackle and a public order offence ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Bit of a disrespectful insult revealing the cause of Oba's mum's death, when they can't even get that right. I usually don't pay any attention to the dogshit some papers spout, but i'm genuinely pretty angry at all of that like. It's just 100% shit-stirring. EDIT: Just to explain why the Oba's mum 'reveal' made me angry... it's not so much that i'm disappointed that they didn't point out the intricate details... but it's just the fact that they've heard something, thought "oo, that's interesting and juicy, stick that in" - without a care for what's actually occured, or the remorse involved, but just the fact that it enhances interest in any story - they've just briefly made it up and chucked it in. Atleast George Caulkin at the (erm... Independent is it?) documented it respectfully holding the player in high regard, and spoke of the consequences and realities of what's happened/how the player's reacted, and not simply chucked it in cos the punters will love it. Am i sounding picky/unreasonable here? Dunno, just found myself gradually getting more and more pissed off as i read the article and it kind of topped it off.

It's funny cos i was going to add something just like that! Surprised they didn't say "Martins, who's subject of a bid from Arsenal, etc etc...". But then, Shaun Custis didn't write it, did he.

Others have said he's done his time and should be given another chance. But the one quote which I liked best, which most fans can identify with, came from a Geordie friend of a friend: "You know, towards the back end of the season, he started playing so well that I began to think he might be innocent."

Big Geordie Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 That Barton comment has to be a total fabrication. Surely no-one can be that stupid? With regards to the media - stop buying/reading the papers. We are an easy target (again) at the moment.

Disco Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 We should, as a club, have a blanket ban on speaking to the media and let them peddle their lies. I find it all very amusing, its the mugs who believe it all I feel sorry for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
