Reyes Cygan Wiltord Garde Grimandi Boa Morte Suker Wreh Malz Luzhny Aliadiere Inamoto Stepanovs Jeffers Diawara Baptista Tavlaridis Wright (Richard not Ian) Vivas I know every manager has fuck ups and I'm not saying Wenger always gets it right. Some of those players he made his money back on though, and some are loan signings. Aliadiere for example came on a free I think, and they've sold him for £2m. Not the worst bit of business-he was only a kid when he signed. Jeffers was a fuck up, but I think I'm relieved that he didn't end up here. Ditto Luzhny. Richard Wright was a weird one, there was insane hype about the lad, even getting into several England squads, only to be an utter tart. Boa Morte was cheap enough that it wasn't a huge financial loss selling him on. I think they made their money back immediately on Diawara. Not sure how much Sukerr cost, but 8 goals in 22 games isn't too bad(according to wikipedia). Wiltord did alright at Arsenal IMO. Scored the goal at Old Trafford that won them the title and played in a fair few postions for them. I think he may have cost a fair bit though. Pointing out those transfers though, you have to look at signings like Fabregas, Henry, Van Persie, Toure, Ljungberg, Vieira, Petit, Eboue, etc. I wasn't trying to slag Wenger off, I'd rather he was at Newcastle than Arsenal, but I was trying to make the point that he's made a fair few fuck ups on the transfer front himself.

My only ticket I've had for speeding was driving back home from the 4-3 vs ManUre a few years back clearly the glee of seeing Roy Keane getting his marching orders influenced my right foot on the journey home, 72 in a 60 in the middle of nowhere.

That's what tweezers are for You swine.

Feck off Seany.

I'm reasonably proficient with chopsticks. I'm talking about eating with them by the way, before someone suggests I masturbate using them.

Do you want a picture of Eastenders ?

Makes you wonder, but is he a Wenger type player ? but how long has Wenger got at the club ? this could spark an exodus.

£16m fee, 4 year deal

It must have been, I remember Graham Hunter's comments on Luque before we signed him, he was drooling over the prospects of seeing Luque in the Premiership.

One more shift today and then 19 days off

call me squeemish but I'm not clicking on that.

Im quite happy with it, Im running on a 2Gb Ram machine but I often run the latest Photoshop, Dreamweaver and video editing software at the same time and dont have any problems. I have a similar set up, I must say I found that it ran much more stable with XP, however I love the features of Vista.

Newcastle United are increasingly confident that Michael Owen will remain at the club next season, a development that will provide early validation for the new regime at St James’ Park. While Manchester United and Liverpool harbour an interest in the England striker, other targets are being pursued more vigorously, allowing his present employers to plan for life with their record signing in tow. That news will be welcomed by Sam Allardyce, the manager, as well as by supporters, whose delight at the prospect of Mike Ashley’s £133 million takeover has been tempered by speculation surrounding Owen and Obafemi Martins, his teammate. Both forwards have release clauses in their respective contracts, but it is thought unlikely that Owen’s will be triggered this summer. United’s pursuit of the 27-year-old stretches back to the World Cup finals, when Owen suffered a serious knee injury. Liverpool rivalled Newcastle for his signature in the summer of 2005, but were not prepared to match the £16 million fee accepted by Real Madrid and it is understood that Rafael BenÍtez, the manager at Anfield, is ambivalent towards their former player. Public discussion regarding the existence of a £9 million get-out clause infuriated Freddy Shepherd, the Newcastle chairman, who called upon Owen to commit himself to the club. That declaration has not followed, although Owen has never expressed any desire to leave Tyneside and used a recent column in The Times to confirm that he had enjoyed “a good chat” with Allardyce. Related Links Glenn Roeder’s replacement intends to transform the culture at Newcastle into a replica of the system he employed at Bolton Wanderers – where emphasis was placed on psychology, sports science and innovations in diet and fitness – and Owen has been impressed by his vision. In Mark Viduka and Joey Barton, there have already been two quality additions to the squad. Owen’s continued presence would also be a coup for Ashley, the billionaire businessman, who has assumed control at Newcastle. Ashley’s ambitions are high and that task will be assisted by Owen’s marketing potential and talent for scoring goals. Since joining Newcastle two years ago, he has been limited to 13 starts for the club because of injury and has acknowledged that he has yet to provide value for money. Martins could leave for £13 million, £3 million more than Roeder paid Inter Milan ten months ago. Juventus have been linked with the 22-year-old, who scored 17 goals in his first season at Newcastle, and Arsène Wenger’s admiration for the Nigeria forward may be hardened if Thierry Henry leaves Arsenal; Martins this week spoke of his desire to stay on Tyneside. If it is not dismantled, Allardyce’s striking quartet of Owen, Martins, Viduka and Shola Ameobi should be formidable and he has taken steps to bolster the rearguard. Having missed out on Tal Ben Haim, who joined Chelsea on a free transfer, he is expected to sign David Rozehnal, 26, the Paris St-Germain defender, for about £3 million and is also monitoring Sami Hyypia, of Liverpool, and Habib Beye, of Marseilles.

The last thing we should expect is overnight success, thanks to Shepherd/Souness/Roeder we are in a shit state that will take time to improve, with Allardyce's management and Ashley's money I believe we will be challenging for silverwear in the future, but not anytime soon.

Do you perform a survey on televisual habbits of people you meet or something ?
