Jimbo

fyp I won't argue.

Sheet of kleenex tbh

Durham is a wind up merchant, pure and simple, anyone getting sucked in by him is more of a twat than he is.

You sound like my dad

The N95 looks the bollocks, that WILL be my next phone.

And he said mobiles were banned from the camp. Tsk tsk. "Do as I say, not do as I do" tbh

In the bizzare context of today's prices, he could quite well be.

You beat me to it Laz, agreed, that sounds like the problem.

if he signs for us I'll fuck my hat.

Talksport have just had Graham Hunter on, he says Barca are desperate to sell Deco to enable them to bid for Frank Lampard.

I run a Fantasy football competition at work, this season I'm tempted to run another competition with a minimum £30m spend with the aim to produce the shittest team possible.

Someone should pass the number onto the Mc Cann family. I've decided against my original comment, best I keep my thoughts to myself.

Its mentioned on Wikipedia, so it must be true http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deco 08 july 2007, english newschannel Sky Sports reported that Barcelona and Newcastle had reached an agreement with Newcastle paying the spanish club 23 millions £. The same source told that Deco allready had accepted a contract of four years and that only a medical remained before the player would be revealed for the The Toons. The deal has not yet been confirmed by either Newcastle or Barcelona officals, but it is likely that skysports has right in this matter.

Rush is the only one I can think of. Robbie Fowler another, but apart from that I'm struggling.

Now watch Deco sign for Chelsea or Liverpool etc.

Not only that, but any subsequently ambitious attempts we make at signings will be very encouraged by this, allowing us to attract a better calibre of left-back, for example. Aye, Baines'll be here by the weekend Now come on Alex, don't be daft, Deco I can believe but Baines ? I think you are being unrealistic.

fookin hell. Jimbo, bet you wish you had of waited to buy that new short now I've nearly peeled the M off already.

Sevilla are perfectly happy with the way things are going. and surely with Dani Alves they are beginning to create their own 'galactico' rather than buying them in. True, but they are not aspiring to this global status that Ashley wants, to do that you not only need success on the pitch but "galactico" players too. We are still not knowing what kind of "global" status Ashley really wants. Newcastle United are global brand already anyway, so it's more about making a better profit of it. But there are loads of ways to do it. "Trophy" players, flair players, celebrities, players from abroad (Asian market) etc. For me there is too much guesswork involved to really see what Ashley's "planning" :icon_lol: is about. The best way of doing it in my opinion is by winning trophies, but as we all know that's easier said than done, I don't think NUFC is at the global status that Ashley has in mind, we are not at the same level of global stature as the likes of Barca, Juve, Real Madrid, Bayern Munchen etc, we are leagues below them in terms of merchandising, which I think is what Ashley has in mind. It would be good to see his blueprint for success. 'Leading players at up to 80% off.' and a free Dunlop golf umbrella.

Spanish star is on United’s list Jul 9 2007 by Luke Edwards, The Journal NEWCASTLE United are hoping to unveil their most spectacular signing of the summer with Sam Allardyce believed to be closing in on a big-name player from Spain. The Magpies have been strongly linked with Barcelona pair Edmilson and Eidur Gudjohnsen this close season and, while their interest in those two players remains, United have also been holding talks over the availability of other potential targets from La Liga. The Journal understands that Newcastle have been offered Portugal international midfielder Deco by officials at the Nou Camp and have also made tentative enquiries regarding the possibility of signing Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o while discussing Gudjohnsen’s future with the Catalan giants. Barcelona will attempt to sign Chelsea’s Frank Lampard before the close of the transfer window, but want to sell Deco to make room for the England star in the centre of midfield. However, they are not interested in losing Eto’o, despite his problems with manager Frank Rijkaard last season. Deco, the former Porto player who won the Champions League under Jose Mourinho, would be an attractive proposition for Newcastle and he is also the sort of big name signing which would signal United’s new-found financial muscle under new owner Mike Ashley. However, the strengthening of his midfield is not Allardyce’s priority at the moment as he continues to put his players through a gruelling pre-season workout in Austria and it remains to be seen whether Deco is the big name player rumoured to be on his way to St James’s Park. The Newcastle squad do not return to the North-East until tomorrow, although it is thought at least one new signing will follow their return this week. Reports over the weekend have also claimed Newcastle are interested in Real Madrid captain Raul, although the Spanish international has constantly been linked with a move to the Premiership in the past few years only to remain at the Bernabeu. Nevertheless, Newcastle’s continued interest in strikers will once again raise question marks about the future of Obafemi Martins who has failed to make any assurances about whether he wants to stay at St James’s Park next season. Allardyce has held one-on-one talks with the Nigerian international at the club’s training base in Austria and has told the 22-year-old that he wants him to stay next season. However, Allardyce also knows that he can do nothing to prevent the former Inter Milan star from leaving if a club activates the release clause in his contract by making a £13m bid. While that would be a blow to United’s new manager, the size of the fee would represent a £3m profit for the club on the £10m they paid to bring him over from Italy and would give Allardyce enough money to sign a suitable replacement. While Allardyce’s main concern is to strengthen his defence after he inherited a side which released its two first-choice centre-backs at the end of last season in Titus Bramble and Craig Moore, there are other areas he will look to improve if the opportunity arrives. Meanwhile, Sven-Göran Eriksson has dismissed claims that he is interested in signing Michael Owen following his arrival as the new manager of Manchester City last week. The former England coach has been quick to distance himself from reports that he would attempt to sign Owen. Eriksson, who also ruled out a move for David Beckham, said: “Michael Owen is always a very good football player. Michael will always score goals but there has always been a big question mark over him in the last few years. I don’t want to read that I am thinking of signing him.”

Oi, Jimbo, don't blame us for him! If he was one of us he at least would of been witty enough to make a comment about it being worse piss than XXXX or something. Laz, who's piece of fiction is that? Nah, Bear Grylls is one of us, it just goes to show he'd rather drink his own piss than risk any of your shite Bear is the KING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just goes to show how much of a joke the monarchy has become. I'd have him as king over that cock Charles any day.
