Now there's a face I'd like to slap.

Like the kind of Vietnam veteran disguise that Eddie Murphy used in Trading Places ?

The Independent West Ham United are considering a move for Newcastle United's Kieron Dyer after learning that their £6.1m signing Julien Faubert will be out for at least six months with a ruptured Achilles tendon. However, given the England international's injury record - and his £80,000-a-week wages - West Ham would be unwilling to pay the £6m Newcastle are likely to hope to gain for the 28-year-old, who has two years left on his present contract. Despite public statements that he wants Dyer to stay, it is understood that the Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce is willing to listen to offers for the midfielder, who has previously attracted interest from Tottenham. However, Newcastle's inertia in the transfer market has made it less likely that Allardyce will sell. Faubert, who was bought as a replacement for Yossi Benayoun, was injured during West Ham's 1-0 friendly defeat against Czech side Sigma Olomouc. The 23-year-old, who arrived from Bordeaux less than three weeks ago, is due to undergo surgery today with manager Alan Curbishley describing the injury as a "devastating blow". West Ham have had to reassess their transfer targets and if they did buy Dyer, he would become the fourth former Newcastle player on their books following the arrival of Scott Parker for £7m and Craig Bellamy for £7.5m to add to Lee Bowyer. West Ham have also hit back at claims by Carlos Tevez's adviser Kia Joorabchian that the club have made "inconsistent" statements about the striker's status. Joorabchian has grown frustrated at the delay in Tevez's £35m transfer to Manchester United and claimed that West Ham had made "promises and assurances" about the 23-year-old that they had not acted on. That is thought to relate to an email he received authorising him to speak to other clubs about Tevez's sale. Fifa is to examine the proposed transfer and the government has also apparently intervened to request that the issue of "third party ownership" of players is cleared up by world football's governing body. West Ham, who are under pressure from the Premier League and face the threat of a second disciplinary inquiry, hit back by stating that they "totally reject the latest outburst and threats issued in the name of Kia Joorabchian". In a statement the club added: "Mr Joorabchian entered into agreements with the previous regime at West Ham at a time in which he was attempting to take over the club. Those arrangements, since terminated by West Ham, led the club into disciplinary difficulties for which the club has paid a heavy price." Sir Alex Ferguson, meanwhile, admits that Alan Smith and Guiseppe Rossi are likely to leave United when Tevez arrives. The pair have been the subject of bids - United want £6m for Smith and £10m for Rossi . Middlesbrough have shown a keen interest in Smith, whileParma want to retain Rossi, who was on loan there last season. Ferguson confirmed that Liverpool have offered £6m for Gabriel Heinze - but ruled out the defender moving to Anfield.

Usually late October isn't it ?

I'd spend all day playing with myself.......

I didn't quite "get it" if you will. Although at the time of watching I was severely intoxicated after smoking a couple of joints and having a few pints as well. I know just what you mean, especially the last 20mins or so which were rather mad to say the least.

American Psycho Had not seen it before, very enjoyable, Christian Bale was superb.

Of course not, Yes there is a lot of football on Television but I only watch the games that I wish to see, I don't feel obliged to watch every match that is broadcast.

Oh dear New West Ham signing Julien Faubert has been ruled out for six months with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Faubert was injured during West Ham's 1-0 friendly defeat against Czech side Sigma Olomouc in Austria on 17 July and has returned to France for surgery. The 23-year-old France midfielder joined the Hammers from Bordeaux for £6.1m on 1 July. West Ham manager Alan Curbishley told his club's website: "It's a devastating blow for everybody, especially Julien." Curbishley's frustration at seeing one of his key summer signings ruled out until the New Year was evident. "Julien had fitted in so well and was showing all the attributes needed to be a success in the Premiership," he explained. Two to three days is the key time for this injury and everything will be done and in place for Julien within that period West Ham physio George Cooper "You could see in the short bit of football he has played with us that he was going to be a big hit with the supporters - so to lose him after an hour of football and just two weeks at the Club is a big disappointment." George Cooper, head physio at Upton Park, added: "The injury was completely out of the blue. "Julien has no history of any Achilles problems, and this kind of rupture is usually pre-disposed by past steroid injections in the area - something he has never had - so it is a major shock. "On the plus side, we have managed to get him to a top surgeon in Strasbourg, who has successfully operated on the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Lilian Thuram in the past, so he is in very good hands. "Two to three days is the key time for this injury and everything will be done and in place for Julien within that period."

No need to be quiet about it, it's true. I agree.

Not sure if they do get away with it in the long run, I know the Premier League recently forced them to remove many football clips and I recall MTV did something similar a while back.

You can easily run a game editor such as FM Modifier to add Mike Ashley type funds to your toon game

Damn right

I'm just a wanker, nothing more, nothing less. A self indulgent one at that, fancy posting in a thread about yourself! keep posting, I'm on the vinegar strokes !!

Michael Owen has taken the latest step in his concerted charm offensive at Newcastle United, asking to be considered for the club captaincy. The England striker has been working tirelessly to convince sceptical supporters that he is committed to life on Tyneside after details emerged this summer of a £9 million release clause in his £110,000-a-week contract. Sam Allardyce, the manager, has yet to allocate the captain’s armband for this season after the departure of Scott Parker to West Ham United. After a summer move failed to materialise, Owen is hoping that, having made positive noises last week over his willingness to stay, this latest gesture will back his words with deeds. “I’d love to skipper Newcastle,” he said. Owen, who scored his first domestic goal in 19 months to help Allardyce launch his reign with a 3-1 friendly victory over Hartlepool United, revealed how a gruelling close-season fitness regime has helped his long-term recovery from the knee injury that forced him to write off most of last season. “I’ve not really had a summer off,” he said. “Even when I was on holiday in Dubai, I was in the gym most days to top up my fitness, so I’m fitter than I’ve ever been for a preseason. We are all looking forward to the season now – that’s when you want to be banging them in.” Related Links Allardyce was pleased with the forward’s performance in his first match in charge of the club after leaving Bolton Wanderers near the end of last season. “Michael is one of the reasons I came here,” Allardyce said. “When you decide to come to a football club, you look at the players they have got and say, ‘What chance have I got of being successful at a football club like this?’ When there’s Michael Owen there, that quality obviously delights you.” Mike Ashley, Newcastle’s billionaire new owner, has delisted the club from the Stock Exchange after completing his £131 million takeover by the compulsory purchase of the remaining 5 per cent of shares.

Call me a Nazi mod if you want but I'm shutting this fucker down too, its just a negative bitch-fest, and publishing PM's is out of order in my opinion, no matter what the content. I wish you fuckers would all just go off and have a wank or something to get out this negative energy.

Now you're talking:

Electrical transformer exploded, not thought to be suspicious. I smell a conspiracy......

Asha Tanna off FIVE pisses over them all

Tense nervous energy, to be honest, a good wank is usually the best cure.
