Marvelous.

Erm.... how?? 2J made a typo which invoked the word filter. Can hardly accuse anyone of any wrong-doing! Tongue was firmly in cheek Leazes bum cheek ?

That explains the events of this week, we are going through the Terrible two's !

Shola's record under Roeder was pretty good tbf. he had a good couple of months, that equates to little more than a blip in an otherwise poor return infront of goals. The "nice guy" comments and "good profesional" comments mean nothing as far as I'm concerned, he's a striker, he's there to either make goals or score them, if folk are happy to have a 9 goal a season Shola Ameobi in the Newcastle United team week in week out, don't be moaning when we finish 13th again. Similarly you could say Martins had a blip between December and early March, he didn't score too many outside of that period. I'm not defending Ameobi btw, he shouldn't be first choice but his recent record has been a credit to him and I think he should be given a chance as 2nd choice in the big man role this season but if unsuccessful then he'll have to go. 17 goals isn't a bad blip. Aye though he only got 10 in the league from open play which isn't an amazing return for our first choice striker. We need a better return than that if we are to improve on last season, even so, as I've said before, its not bad for a pensioner lad in his first season in the Premier League playing for what was a pretty crap team, lets hope all our strikers have a better season this time.

No its, free, SKY haven't done PPV Boxing for a while now, not since Setanta started muscling in on boxing coverage.

He wasn't "playing well"... he is far more of a weight to the team in comparison to what he can bring. It isn't a foolish thing to say, it's an observation. He's been at the same club as a legendary English striker (as well as Sir Bobby!) throughout his footballing education and during his eventual break into the first team.. yet he has one of worst fist touches and footballing brains I've seen (not even just at the top level). Yet now he is bragging about how much he learned over years from Shearer! He has some nerve. If his workrate was that great maybe he'd have sorted himself by now, but he still makes the same errors over and over. Anyway enough about our pile of crap for now. Who cares is he wasn't playing well (by your opinion)? He's contributing to the team and that's what matters. I've never said he's a footballing genius but he hasn't warranted to be called a "pile of crap" and anything else you've called him. Why not insult many of our other players, because there sure is better reason to as Ameobi is at least a decent guy and good profressional. I think I'd make a good profressional (attitude wise anyway) and I'm like to think I'm a decent guy, does that mean I deserve a run out for Newcastle United ? No, but that's not really relevant to my post if you read again. I don't need to read it twice thanks, the measure of a striker is his return in goals, Martins whilst having a shit first touch etc knows how to stick the ball in the back of the net, Shola on the other hand hasn't consistantly done that during his Toon career, yet still gets second chance after second chance. I think you'll find you do need to read it twice. The part about Shola being a decent guy/professional was me criticising Matt for always insulting him in that rather abusive way - I was merely pointing there are far worse people at our club that deserve to be insulted more than him. Shola gets this just because he's a bit clumsy and talks optimistically (usually followed by abuse just for that). In response to your comment, as has been pointed out enough times, Shola has found the net many times in the past year and a half when he has played, but like the rest of his critiques you're harping on about how bad he was a few years ago as if there's really relevent now. He's not even hard a chance to prove himself now his hip injury has gone, for goodness sake. How many of the so called top half clubs in the Premier League do you think would start Shola Ameobi in their team ? None, and interestingly enough, I said he should be a fourth-choice striker... I'm glad you agree with me

Which one ? we've got Enzo Maccarinelli Vs Wayne Braithwaite for the WBO Cruiserweight title on ITV Then on SKY early in the morning, Ronald "Winky" Wright Vs Bernard Hopkins, that should be a cracker !!!
