Village Idiot Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Both Vadillo and Canales should be there, too. Must be hard to resist when Real Madrid come calling, but I'm not sure it was the best thing to do. There was talk that Canales would have been left on loan at Racing for a couple years, which would have been the best, but at the end he moved straight away. It's good that he's moved out of RM so quickly to get playing time, though. Valencia is a great place for him to develop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Be interesting to see how he develops. Seems to be another player to repopulate the 'Number 10' position that people believed were dying out. Sweepers will be making a comeback soon!

Village Idiot Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 We are using the #10 role a lot this season (Messi and Cesc) with that 3-4-3. Özil is deployed as one too, although Mou has hinted at scrapping that role lately, but yeah, it's making a comeback. Depor played with a sweeper last season... watching them was like a time machine, no wonder they got relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 NUFC players' signatures: http://www.nufc.co.uk/staticFiles/4f/97/0,,10278~169807,00.pdf There you go. Alan Smith can't play football like a pro anymore. But his signature is still very much like something from a European Player of the year. am i the only one who notices a £ sign in his sig? fitting Jonas's is ridiculous.

Flip Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Adriano, yes Adriano, accidentally shot a 20 year old female friend in the hand last night while playing with a gun in Rio. What has happened to this guy. Unstoppable in his prime strength wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Was looking at .com's advent calendar again and it mentioned the fans showing up to greet Shearer. Reminded me of the same thing for Owen and found this: http://www.nufc.com/html/owen-signs.html One quote from him in particular will surely stand out...

Sifu Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 This one stood out for me: All the Newcastle fans need to know is that I will be giving everything for their cause now. I have been watching the television and seen the queues at the club shop. From what I can tell, 99 per cent of fans are delighted that I have chosen Newcastle and are not wondering about how I got there. It will be like winning the World Cup to win a trophy. Cunt.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Cannit believe there's only 1 Premiership game on telly today.

Maybe I'm getting today mixed up Easter, but didn't it used to be football from morning till night on TV? Very much so. One of my favourite things about the Christmas period, coming home and watching copious amounts of football on my parents unnecessarily big TV. Was just saying in the TOG thread the games chosen today are bordering on criminal. A Fat Sam side followed by Pulis and McLeish's, really? That's the best you could do? Anti-football to the max.

Skirge Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Anyone been on a stadium tour with a camera that has blink detection? My sister took a load of kids/grass roots boys club football team on a tour. She took a digi cam and it has blink detection on it, she took a photo of Sir Bobbys bust n the players entrance and the camera kept on flashing that a blink was detected. Freaked her right out it did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I don't think Perch could do much better than he currently is doing. That's it really. Average Championship player playing way above his level. I can't hate on him for signing for Newcastle, and I always try to refrain from going mental at him during match days. Tries his best, which sadly isn't up to this level. Saying that he made some class tackles in the games he has played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If players aren't trying though a la Owen then I have a fucking problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
