Chairman In Training Ground Vow By Craig Hope NEWCASTLE United chairman Chris Mort hopes that investment in the Club's training ground facilities will help to reduce the amount of time players spend on the treatment table. The Magpies chief has already given his backing to Sam Allardyce in the transfer market this summer, and wants to give the black and white stars the best possible environment to prepare for matches day-in-day-out. Indeed, Toon boss Sam Allardyce also stated his desire to make improvements to the Club's Benton-based training ground after joining United in May. And Mr Mort has now given his backing to those ideas as he told Black 'n' White matchday programme. "In addition to the Academy and the first-team squad, another area in which we have been looking to make improvements is at the training ground. "We are refurbishing the training ground facility and bringing in additional staff with specialist expertise. "This is intended to raise the overall fitness level of players - to increase their competitiveness on the pitch, reduce the chances of injury and reduce the recovery times of players when they do get injured. "These investments should help to ensure that players are available for selection more often, and hopefully have to spend less time on the treatment table."

Wow not THE Oliver Fowler !!!

From my experience, wanking and typing is never a good combination.

Hypothetically speaking, he should have used a 9 iron instead of a 5.......

...what's the most ridiculous bit of copy you can remember reading from the ronnie gill's chief football writer over the years? post your favourite bits below so we can all have a good laugh at his expense. hhmmm someone's been fibbing it seems...... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6896760.stm Last Updated: Thursday, 12 July 2007, 21:48 GMT 22:48 UK Blair gets to grips with mobiles Tony Blair has been talking about getting to grips with life after Downing St by finally learning to text. The former prime minister told a Labour Party fundraising event he had learnt how to use text messages, only to receive one back asking: "Who are you?" Stopping when traffic lights were on red was also a new experience - as PM his driver used to go straight through. Also at the event, attended by Gordon Brown, were singer Mick Hucknall and Manchester Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson. Mr Blair bought his first mobile phone last October, but appears to have failed to find time to learn to use it before he stepped down as prime minister last month. He has long been seen as a technophobe, being described by former colleagues as "a pen and paper person". New Labour's former media chief, Alastair Campbell, last year said of Mr Blair: "He tries - he's got a computer screen on his desk... it's pretty idle." Last year it was revealed he had finally got his own e-mail account and he has admitted getting his daughter Kathryn to load songs on to his iPod.

Welcome !

The only place this thread is going to is the Gold section

I think it’s fair to acknowledge the club's youth policy, but the so called "breakthrough" of talent in the recent matches have been pure and simply due to the lack of strength of the first team squad rather than the unmistakable merits of the youngsters.

Deal done ! Baines signs for Everton, £5m.

Talksport are claiming that West Ham are confident the deal can be reserected.

agreed, ok for socks but they make a crap spunk-mop.
