Probably the best club manager in South America has quit Estudiantes, Alejandro Sabella. Wonder if any European teams will take a punt on him.

 

used to be at Leeds and Sheffield United.....speaks good English and as you say one of the top coaches in S.America. Pardew out ;)

 

Sure I remember seeing a story that Sheffield United were offered a young Diego Maradona, but signed him instead.

A bit of Mark Knopfler, live, Local Hero, for breakfast, after 0-1,0-2,0-3,0-4.....4-4, and a Cheik Tiote celebration that matched every fans', f*** man... :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

 

I'm so f***ing proud, I'd rather be non-existent than not a Geordie.

Aye they bid £400k for him but it was rejected by Argentinos.

Jamie McClen playing for Hebburn in the Northern League Second Division. :lol:

 

Might pop along one day see what he's like.

 

Was playing for West Allotment Celtic a few seasons ago. Forest Hall are in the Northern League 1st Division. That's madness. Lads I went to school with and sometimes coach are playing in a higher league than a former Newcastle player.  :lol:

David Moyes has hinted that Everton could be close to what he called a solution to the problems surrounding improving his playing squad.

 

When asked about the recent transfer window, he said, “I would hope that a solution to what we need to do is not too far away. I can’t guarantee it, but I would hope that’s the case.”

 

:undecided:

What's holding you back, by the way? In the transfer market.

When Carroll was linked to and finally got his England call up I was surprised at how many non-Newcastle fans rated him but when he went Liverpool I have heard all manner of random comments like "He is a donkey" "he can't score" and "If he is worth £35m I am worth £30m!".

 

Now I was speaking to a couple of lads about Newcastle's striking options (or lack of decent ones) and one of the lads started listing them and said "Oh and Ranger, he's fucking shit". I didn't think non-Newcastle fans would even really know who the hell he was, let alone have an opinion like that on a 19 year old lad who has barely started his career :lol:

We have no money. Sell to buy.

 

The stadium is a big issue which I think is putting a few potential investors off.

Over at SI there's a thread about people who don't like football, talking football. Thought this was hilarious.

 

Not quite in the same vein, and it contains a naughty sweary word, but my favourite football story is when me, a friend who's a West Ham nut, and a friend of ours who wasn't into football at all went to Upton Park to watch West Ham v Everton.

 

Midway through the first half, one of their players slid in Yakubu with a great through-ball only for Yakubu to miss.

 

"Good pass!" shouted our non-football loving thread who, suddenly aware of the opprobrium gathering around him from the West Ham fans, had the presence of mind to follow that statement up with "you c***". I still laugh about it to this day.

 

:lol:

Read this on 606...

 

Rumours in Mexico are circulating that carlos Slim Helu one of the wealthiest men in the world is said to be interested in buying out Mike Ashley at newcastle. Lebanese-Mexican business magnate, philanthropist and the chairman and CEO of Telmex, América Móvil. His extensive holdings in a considerable number of Mexican companies through his conglomerate, Grupo Carso, SA de CV, Carso represented about 18 percent of Slim s $65 billion in public holdings. It is understood he has been watching the premiership with great interest since the billionaires started moving in, and would like to flex his financial muscle in the english top division also. Taking a failing club like Newcastle and turning them back to title contenders would be away of showing this. Mike Ashley is a marked man in the north east, and this could maybe be the white night they are looking for.
