Dave Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Nobody could describe those bids as anything other than big (and even ill-advised). Totally goes against what Pardew says in that article and the other one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 NOTW saying we have only offered him a 2 year extension, not the 'long term' deal he wanted. That deal would keep him here until June 2014, which is three months shy of his 32nd birthday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally goes against what Pardew says in that article and the other one. Just think you're spending too much time reading things into every comment in the papers. Do you think Pardew even has the power to decide the clubs transfer policy? He'll maybe get asked "Would you like N'Zogbia" and he'll say yes obviously..

Scoot Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 “I signed Nicky Shorey for £10,000 from Leyton Orient when I was at Reading and he went on to be an England international" Read into that quote what you will.

Cronky Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Come on, people. This aint difficult. He's not saying we won't pay big money. He's saying you don't have to pay big money to get quality. And he's saying it to publicly distance himself from Joey's rather thoughtless comment about players who come cheap.

polpolpol Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Gets a mention in Private Eye this edition: ““This being January, Newcastle United are on the search for lunatics” Rod Liddle wrote in his Sunday Times column last month. “They already have one of course, Joey Barton, but what if Barton is injured or undergoing ECT one week? The answer is – let's sign Stephen Ireland. He's totally bonkers” Mild stuff by Liddle's standards? Not according to his London lawyers, Messrs Clintons, who want an apology and damages. The article, they claim, has caused the sensitive sportsman “considerable pain and embarrassment” being “clearly defamatory and likely to bring our client into disrepute”.” It goes on to explain that Barton is, in fact, a shit, providing ample evidence of his failings, before casting doubts on his chances of getting anywhere with the action. It certainly seems a bit frivolous. I wonder if he has been advised to do this, or has something against The Times? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cut short their honeymoon to rush home to his young mistress. She had 10 bags of manure delivered to his office in protest at his betrayal. But the television presenter Rachel Royce's very public revenge on her cheating husband, the former editor of Radio 4's Today programme, Rod Liddle, had only just begun. "Twice I found a packet of Viagra in his pocket with some tablets missing. Rod said it was for research for his new book which is about middle-aged men and adultery. Now he's admitted men are programmed to have affairs. I think I'm better off without him." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
