Choosing between Ashley or Shepherd is like having to choose between toothache or piles.

Huntelaar has been shite, Higuain ftw.

Linked with a move to Barca today

Benzema to Madrid

wrote and sung the theme tune too, if I recall.

Genius !

Durham non-League club West Auckland Town are to play Italian side Juventus in a friendly in Turin on 1 August. The trip marks the 100-year anniversary of the club's 6-1 defeat of Juve to win the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy, which was later dubbed 'the first World Cup.' A £10,000 donation from the Football Association has enabled the Northern League outfit to make the journey. "We are delighted to support West Auckland FC's return to Turin," said FA chairman Lord Triesman. "It's so important they are able to celebrate the 100th anniversary of their famous match with Juventus. "This is a wonderful story and it's only right that they will be in Italy to commemorate the remarkable achievement of winning the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy." The trophy is widely seen as the forerunner to the Jules Rimet Trophy, which was won by England in 1966. West Auckland, then a team mainly made up of coal miners, defeated German side Stuttgart in the inaugural competition in 1907 before beating Winterthur of Switzerland 2-0 in the final. Two years later, they retained the trophy - which became theirs to keep - by beating Zurich in the opening match and then trouncing Juventus.

how do you do this with an amp and speakers? im not sure how it works sorry if i sound very dumb maybe you could pm me to explain. connect it via RCA input (the white and red sockets at the rear of the amp) and the headphone socket on the iPod, bit of a naff way of doing it in my opinion as you ideally you'd want a system where it charges your iPod at the same time.

Do you think he'll have the cheek to sign on? I don't doubt it, he's probably applied for a disabled badge for his car, he probably qualifies for that though.

Oh well, here we are, July the 1st, the parasitic malingering dwarf is no longer a Newcastle United player, good fucking ridance !

hoping the nightmare may soon be over.

Say what? Bent as is in, crooked, untrustworthy, devious, rather than Bent as in, hello sailor, shirt lifter, bum bandit.

The Story of Anvil Like a cross between Spinal Tap and Waynes World, unintentionally funny, cringingly so at some points but heart-rending at the same time, recommended.

Say what you like, things are never dull at this club etc etc it must be hellishly boring supporting anyone else.

Daily Star: FORMER Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd is a shock front-runner to buy out Toon owner Mike Ashley and take over the troubled club. Starsport understand that Shep-herd, who was ousted by Ashley two years ago, is favourite to resume control ahead of an American-based consortium. A source close to Shepherd last night claimed his camp are confident a deal can be struck. And he dismissed fears that Ashley won’t do business with Shepherd, who has been fiercely critical of the sports magnate’s regime, which has overseen the club’s alarming decline, culminating in last month’s relegation. “There are two serious parties interested in buying the club and Freddy is one of them,’’ the source said. “At the moment, it’s 50-50 but Freddy is cautiously optimistic. “He’s upset at what’s happened to Newcastle and will do everything he can to get the club back on its feet again. It’s nonsense to suggest Mike Ashley won’t sell to Shepherd. “That is not a hurdle in itself though obviously a deal like this isn’t clear-cut and can take time.’’ Shepherd’s possible return will be good news for Alan Shearer, who has privately backed his fellow-Geordie’s bid. The squad return for pre-season training tomorrow with Shearer a frustrated onlooker after weeks of inactivity on the takeover front. Shearer had hoped to be reinstalled as manager ahead of the squad reporting back but instead it will be coach Chris Hughton who puts the players through their paces. But Shearer knows that if Shepherd’s bid is successful, he will be holding the reins again. The pair enjoy an excellent relationship and have held talks over the summer, with Shepherd promising the 38-year-old his first act as chairman will be to present him with a four-year deal. Ashley is demanding £100m for the club he bought from the Hall family and Shepherd for £135m in June 2007, spending a further £100m to reduce inherited debts. Shepherd has signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot discuss negotiations. He is ready to re-invest the £37m he received from Ashley for his shares, though Ashley’s £100m valuation is thought to be a stumbling block. Shepherd’s consortium, which does not involve any foreign investors, are willing to pay up to £80m. Although Ashley is desperate for a quick sale, it remains to be seen if he will drop his asking price. Of last season’s flops, only Michael Owen and Mark Viduka have left on free transfers. One of the first tasks for whoever takes control will be to slash the £72m wage bill.

3 seem to be the best for download limits, I think 15GB for £15. Got my dad an O2 dongle, £2 for a day, £7.50 for a week or £15 for the month.

He went on loan with an option to sign permanent but They declined the offer due to him being shite, thanks Dennis.

This caught my eye for some reason: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/V-neck-top_W0QQitemZ...ItemQQptZWomen_

Rumour has it: Purchase price agreed and funds proven but things to finalise: - KK Compo - Overdraft (said to be around £40m) - £15m that Ashley spent on players out of his own pocket - Promotion bonus (If we get promoted in the first year, Ashley wants another £20m or something like that)

Thats comforting to know, but I don't think I'll be taking mine for a swim !

Greeks bearing gifts for Owen as Olympiakos ready to offer huge wages to Newcastle striker Olympiakos have launched an audacious attempt to sign Michael Owen. The Greek club are offering Owen Champions League football and a bumper wage packet to quit the Premier League and resurrect his career in Athens ahead of next year's World Cup. Having already signed Blackburn striker Matt Derbyshire and former Aston Villa defender Olof Mellberg from Juventus, Olympiakos believe they will beat the wages on offer to Owen in England. Hull and Stoke have both expressed an interest in signing him, but Everton could be his best option if they follow up their initial round of talks.
