  1. Michael Owen: I don’t like music, I’ve only heard seven albums http://www.getintothis.co.uk/2014/10/michael-owen-reveals-hes-only-heard-seven-albums-heres-his-thoughts/ Following Michael Owen’s revelation that he hates films and has only actually seen eight, Getintothis’ Chester de Zeeuw, caught up with the ex-Liverpool FC star to talk music – and why he really doesn’t enjoy that either. Music and cinema go hand in hand. And that’s why Michael Owen has given them both the boot. The former Liverpool and England footballer revealed yesterday he abhors films, having only seen eight of them. With that in mind, Getintothis thought it only right and proper to ask him about his music tastes. In his own words, the BT commentator reveals the seven albums he’s heard, what he thinks and why he’ll never listen to music ever again. 1. Air: Moon Safari I don’t really like music. But if I were to pick one album that I’ve listened to all the way through I’d pick this. It kind of floats by. Which is good. It also reminds me of 1998 when I won the Premier League Golden Boot. Robbie [Fowler] played Sexy Boy to Steve [McManaman] and I thought ‘that’s a bit of a nice jingle‘ so I picked up the album in Woolies. It was only seven quid. I played it in the kitchen while doing some ironing. It’s quite therapeutic. It’s like background music. So you don’t really have to pay attention. 2. Dizzee Rascal: Boy in da Corner I’ll be honest, I wasn’t really listening to this. It was kind of just forced upon me. I was feeling poorly while on England duty in the run up to the Euros in 2004 and went to find a quiet corner to have a lie down. Unfortunately, Rio [Ferdinand] was in the next room and all I could hear was this shouting horrible noise. It didn’t surprise me when he missed a drug test. Looking back, it’s funny that I was the boy in the corner being made to listen to Boy in da Corner. You can’t make stories like that up. Can you? 3. Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road I really liked Candle In The Wind when that came out. And one day I was in a newsagents in Chester which sold 50p second hand jukebox CDs and saw this and thought ‘what the hell, I’m having that.‘ I put it in the stereo in my car and was really disappointed. It didn’t sound like Candle In The Wind. And it kept jumping. On closer inspection it was full of scratches. I tried to wipe it with a chamois leather but it didn’t work. I think it’s still in the glove box somewhere. I was on a chat show years later with Elton, and he asked me if I liked his music. I said ‘yes’ but I really regretted it. Because I realised I don’t. 4. Lily Allen: Alright, Still By 2006 all the lads were having babies. I was at Newcastle and injured but remember always being dragged to Christenings and kids birthday parties. I’m not sure who’s house it was. It could have been Charles N’Zogbia‘s or perhaps Celestine Babayaro‘s. Either way, this yappy noise was played over and over again. I remember sitting on the bouncy castle, my white shirt covered in Ribena, thinking it was one of the worst days of my life. 5. The Beatles: 1962-66, aka The Red Album Everyone says they like The Beatles. But I don’t. I don’t really see the appeal. Steve Staunton brought it round to mine one night when we were making a jigsaw but I told him to turn it off when Eight Days A Week came on. I mean, I know they did a lot of drugs but that’s just a silly song. And it’s over four CDs. Who releases four CDs? Arrogance. Plain arrogance. I don’t like that. 6. Ian Brown: Unfinished Monkey Business I haven’t really listened to this properly but it’s the album I have heard the most. I heard it once at a BBQ at Gary Neville‘s house. Once when Gary Neville drove me to Chester races. Once when I was at a Man United charity do, organised by Gary Neville. And one other time. Gary Neville was definitely there. But I am not sure where it was. It could have been at Phil Neville‘s house. It’s Gary Neville‘s favourite band. Everyone says he looks like a monkey. But I think he looks like a really nice man. Ian Brown. Not Gary Neville. 7. Jeff Wayne: Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version Of War Of The Worlds I believe this is based on a film with Tom Cruise. But I’ve not seen it. Again, I didn’t choose to listen to this. I was on the treatment table in 2006 when my doctor, Richard Steadman – he’s nice – was fixing my knee and he pulled up a big portable jukebox and played it before he put me to sleep. I remember having crazy dreams about plants that spoke and everyone traded biscuits as currency. I woke up and promised myself never to listen to music ever again. I haven’t. Except when adverts come on. But that doesn’t really count.
  2. Anyone ever done Insanity Workout? Fuck. Me. 5 days into it now. Hernia surely impending. Absolutely done in.
  3. He'll go when he wants, He'll go when he waaaaaants, The hell of Mike Ashley, He'll go when he wants.
  4. Agreed! Fantastic film. Fincher's tights film yet. Affleck and Pike are perfectly cast as well. Great performances.
  5. If he has any sense he'd leave. He's one card in the pack at PSG, sort of player who could see his career peak over the next 3 years. Why sit on a bench. Anyone who thinks for a second he may even consider coming back here is an idiot though.
  6. The presenter on Final Score can fuck right off all his shite about 'the best win record of the last 5 toon managers so the fans should get off his back.' Fucking grinning spenk. Good cross Sammy. Newcastle-style defending from Swansea.
  7. Embarrassing defending. Ball watching like a team of under 7s.
  8. When we are in possession of the ball, do we just think 'they should have the ball for a bit now'? Giving it away like charity.
  9. And the media are more than happy to oblige with that narrative.
  10. Not fussed in the slightest Cabella getting benched for Speedbump. We'll get turned over regardless anyway. 3-0 at best.
  11. If he isn't gone after the inevitable Swansea defeat, I'm out like.
  12. Shocking. Absolutely shocking. Can't be bothered for a full analysis because our performance doesn't deserve a second thought. All i'll say is that if Obertan is coming off the bench and creating more chances than the rest of your team combined, then you need to fuck off right then and there. There are errors in every corner of our club. Not one offshoot of Newcastle, Academy to PR to taking Riviere off and bringing Cisse instead of the two of them together (you'd think he would go for it when his job is on the fucking line?!), nothing offers me any hope that we will not get relegated this season or the next (basically when Ashley is in charge) and end up as Championship fodder. Every single time I see us play nowadays I feel like someone is taking the piss, like there is an in joke that I'm on the outside of. It's the only excuse for the ineptitude. No one, not one on that pitch is up to standard. Not even Tiote, noticeable tonight only because the others looked like they were learning how to play football for the first time. Pardew is the footballing equivalent of a 100% tory funding cut of the arts in the North East. Against my better instincts, I feel sorry for him. I know I couldn't deal with the pressure he is under right now. I know I couldn't look at my wife or children after the shit he is given. I know I couldn't deal with balancing a cunt of a boss with the media perception that everything is rosy. But the fact remains - he is a stubborn, mediocre manager at best, abysmal, dinosaur manager at worst. Even Allardyce is showing that he can adapt his style of play these days man! Jesus fucking christ.If he isn't gone in 24hrs, I am going to the bookies to put some coin on us going down. If he does go... MASSIVE IF (sorry for the caps)... There will be the massive question of what Newcastle United's identity is when replacing him. Yes, we all know that Ashley wants mid table at best, but sometimes I feel like the media hasnt got a fucking clue as to what has been going on up (up, yes, up) here for the past 5 years. Anyone who loves football should loath the fact that this man is able to operate within football the way that he is doing so. Where does he want the club to go with his new manager? Glenn Hoddle for old time Spurs sake? Moyes? Tony Pulis won't come here if he left Palace due to their transfer policy. We have joked about it on this thread but the possibility of Carver becoming the next manager seems a genuine one with this blob in charge. He knows the southern square root of fuck all about football. I'm preparing myself for the trip to ladbrokes tomorrow. End of the day, it's a cliche but getting rid of him is like sticking an Elastoplast on a tumour. A big, fat, smug tumour.
  13. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/9488479/premier-league-newcastles-jonas-gutierrez-thankful-for-cancer-support Newcastle United midfielder Jonas Gutierrez has thanked everyone for their messages of support. The Argentina international recently revealed that he is suffering from testicular cancer. The entire footballing community has been shocked by the news and has come together to support the 31-year-old. Gutierrez is touched by the messages he has received from his team-mates and fans, and thanked them all for their kind words. "I am very happy for what the Newcastle fans did, and thankful to the supporters of Velez Sarsfield and Almagro,” he told Todo Noticias. “I am also thankful to all the people linked to football because I have received very nice messages from them. All this gives me more strength not to give up. "Many players of the national team gave me a call. Ezequiel Lavezzi and Martin Demichelis knew about my situation since the moment that I underwent surgery. Javier Mascherano, Lionel Messi and Pablo Zabaleta have also given me their support.” Gutierrez was diagnosed with cancer a number of months ago, but he publicly revealed his condition only recently. Explaining his decision, Gutierrez said: “Everyone on the streets was asking me why I didn't have hair anymore as I always had long hair. “That put me in a difficult situation, not because I didn't want to tell but because I didn't want to tell my story to everyone one after the other. “Since the moment I decided to make it public, I feel much better. I am free and calmer.” Gutierrez also spoke about his situation with Newcastle. "I don't want to say if they were good or bad, I can't judge them,” said the former Real Mallorca defender. “What I can say is that it hurt me very much when they told me to look for another team after that I had the surgery. I had been at the club for five years - that was tough.”
  14. Credit to him, and I am certainly not his biggest fan, by Obertan was canny tonight.
  15. wtf that was a second yellow?! Eh?!!
  16. Fucking shite at set pieces we are like! Utterly abysmal.
