Jimbo

If they can pay £15m for a nearly 30 year old Craig Bellamy, I don't see why the figures suggested for Given's value are cloud cuckoo land, after all Keepers mature far later than strikers for example, you could argue that Given at 32 is coming into his prime, just look at the other top keepers in the Premier League, Freidel, James, Van Der Sar all pushing 40 ffs. Cleary Given got in a strop then the club weren't doing business, just like when he snapped his crayons in 2000 when Sir Bobby had the audacity to play an in form Harper ahead of him, then then slaps in a transfer request which is a statement of intent to leave the club ASAP regardless of whether the club are willing to sell, as it has been stated before, if Given had any regard to the fans he'd have fought relegation with us and left in the summer.

bbc have a video of him sitting taking questions for 10mins http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ity/7872358.stm might be better watching that I know exactly what I heard thanks. yeah a quick radio snippet and quotes vs a 10minute q&a your well informed Jimbo hope your telly breaks I saw the interview on BBC earlier today, I know what he said in both interviews, I'm refering to a statement made by Shay Given in a radio interview, his comment stands regardless of the length of the interview. But I'm sure your continued bias will

tbf I think he's trying to find some positives for the NUFC fans in this episode and, the money aside, there is none. I think his feelings for us as supporters are heartfelt, I don't think he fell out of love with NUFC just the people who bought it. Admittedly, we should have had more for him but then he's not in control of the transfer fee is he? He was clearly getting in a strop that the club hadn't accepted City's bid which led to him throwing a hissy fit and submitting his transfer request, clearly at this stage City hadn't matched the clubs evaluation of him (or ours tbh IE the £12m-£15m that most of us were suggesting) he is trying to justify his fee by comparing it to the fee the club initially paid, £1.5m, this pathetic, ultimately we've lost a player worth considerably more than the £5m ish that we got, Shay Give may have been a phenomenal player for us, but I think he's a cock. yeah thats why he's getting in a strop and said "they were happy to take the money it seems and there were things they could have done to make me stay but didn't" did you even watch that interview on the bbc site? he didn't even use the word quadruple Where did I say I anything about a BBC interview ? In the quote I heard on the radio Given clearly said "they should be grateful they nearly quadroupled what they paid for me".

The thing that boiled my piss was that Given was suggesting that we should be grateful that we have "nearly quadrupled" our money, cheers Shay, £5m-6m for arguably one of the best keepers in the Premier League.

Given: "...they nearly quadrupled what they paid for me...." ffs we only paid £1.5m for him !

Was that on one of the discovery channels or something Jimbo? I believe it was, I'm watching it via download though. I've just finished watching it and it is very compelling, if you are someone like me that doesn't buy that LHO was working alone then it is recommended viewing, whether James Files is telling the truth or not is a matter of debate but either way he has got his story well throught out and there are corroborating witnesses that are backing up a number of his claims.

How about an Ashley or Llambias or Kinnear version of this ?

I'm half way through watching a documentary "I shot JFK", it's an interview with James Files who claims to be one of the "Grassy Knoll" gunmen.

This is class Pud. +1 Tremendous effort Pud. 100%, I'm hanging on every word, cheers Pud.

I'd give her the best 20 seconds of her life.

I've stuck with it thus far, it' will have been a gigantic waste of time if I give up now.

Would be better with the Puma logo on the left rather than the middle, I like symmetry.
