Owen missed a one on one against James, does that mean he isn't a top rate stiker? Not saying Shola is going to be top class or whatever but you can't read too much into one missed chance.
It's not just one missed chance though is it? He's been missing for about 5 years now has he not?
I agree with you btw that he does get unfair criticism, but I think this is because we know from experience he isn't good enough for us.

So it's now Chelsea's fault that Man United are playing a 4-5-1 formation which doesn't work? It's Chelsea's fault that Arsenal sold Vieira, and lost Henry to injury?
It's Chelsea's fault that Liverpool bought Crouch rather than someone like Owen?
Riiiiiight, ok then. Chelsea are ruining the Premiership. You sure it's not Souness?
It's not anyones's fault, but surely you concede that a foreign multibillionaire buying an EPL club essentially as a plaything is not good for football. Not only have they literally made it impossible to compete for the premiership, they have completely fucked up the transfer market at a time when thransfer fees were stabilising.
People talk about the dominance of Liverpool in the 70s and 80s, or ManU in the 90s, but this is different. Chelsea can buy anyone they want, money no object. They don't have to make a profit or even balance the books. As long as Abromovich is there they will win the premiership every year for 10 years. Now that is boring.
And yes, it is partly Souness's fault. Apparently he turned them down, or so he says. Pity, it would have been a great leveller.

I had always thought that was Dyer, but I have nothing to back that up I admit. It just seems like something he would do, although I can imagine Bellamy doing it too.

Noooooooo!
If you must see it, then download a pirated copy or sneak in.
I feel abused after last night. Would you want Guy Richie to profit from abusing me?
Oh OK then. I'll go and see "Goal" instead.

He was obviously going to be a bad thing, but what can anyone do? I don't think it is an over exaggeration to say he is ruining the premiership.

Isn't this what that audioscrobbler thing is for, not that I've ever used it?

I thought he was poor personally. He seems scared to anything with the ball at the minute other than to pass it back to Shay, and he doesn't even do that very well.
When Taylor is back he should be dropped, but because he is a Souness signing, and a very expensive one at that, he won't be.

Is that you Sweet Left Peg?

Newcastle v Sunderland is a Derby game.
Newcastle v Middlesborough is not a Derby game.
Sunderland v Middlesborough is whatever the fuck they want it to be. It doesn't concern me.
For 90 minutes yesterday, I wanted the Mackems to win. It's kicked us up into the top half of the table, which will no doubt piss them off. It's got them thier win, which means they wont come to our place winless, which would have been dodgy. Ultimately, if the Mackems winning helps us out, them I'm not going to sit there and wish they were getting wellied.
As for the Smogs? They're just another team that I cannot stand. They go hand in hand with Spurs, Wolves and Everton for me. Have no time for any of them. There are various reasons for most of them, but the one that stands out most is that thier fans can be total tossers when they want to be, and they've all got various massive chips on thier shoulders.
tbh.To be fair, everyone I have ever met met from Boro in a non-football context has been really canny. I just think they are a football irrelevance, they simply have no reason to exist. If only Gibson was our chairman, imagine what he could have achieved!

OK, I have to ask, what does B&Q mean?
Are you demonstrating your support of the large, national "do it yourself" retailer?
Aye, only good Proddy boys are allowed tae work in B&Q ye know.
It's a true Gers shoap. Nae Kafflicks allowed.
God Save Ra Queen.

I quite liked desperately seeking Susan.
Agree with what others have said. Lock, stock was class, but I don't rate Snatch at all and I won't be rushing to see this.
It's alright despite Madonna though, wouldn't you say?
Well I guess she was in character (i.e. playing herself as she was in the early 80s). She had a powerful effect on adolescent lads then. Wouldn't watch it again now mind.
I forgot about Evita where she was quite good, although obviously eclipsed by Jimmy Nail!

I feel for Ameobi, its not his fault he's not a football player any more than its my fault I'm not.
However, he obviously is not the heir apparent for Shearer, and I don't think Owen is really the primary striker type either. I think to be successful we're going to have to fork out a lot more money come next summer, but I'm not sure we can afford it.
-
Bellamy was and still is a class player. I'd have loved him to stay here and become a local legend but because he couldn't stop his mouth from going and our current manager is a tosser it was never to be. Anyway, he's gone and now we've got someone who is five times the player in Owen.
And he was signed by the 'tosser'
Completely disrespectful to call Shearer a tosser tbh.
Aye because it would kill you to give Souness any credit
Would Owen have come here if it wasn't for Shearer? Would he fuck!
Souness can take the credit for all the lemons.
-
The reason Owen has never scored 20 league goals in a season is becaise he spends a lot of time out injured. His goals to game ratio is superb. Unfortunately, his injuries are unlikely to stop here.
Still, I think he is a brilliant player, I keep pinching myself that he is here. Souness is one lucky bastard!

Souness should be grateful Hughes didn't utilise Bellamy properly against us last Sunday. It would have been a blood bath, but instead he completely fucked up his tactics (makes a change from Souness!).
AF, have you any evidence that Bellamy was a disruptive influence in the dressing room, independent from what Souness or his cronies have said? Funny how both Dyer and Bowyer are still here, isn't it?
It's almost like you wanted Bellamy to murder us to prove Souness wrong
Not at all, I was just making an observation. I'm not sure why Hughes didn't go 4-4-2 against us, was Dickov injured or something (really can't remember). However, if they had put up that performance against ManU against us, they would probably have won by a large margin and Souness might be out of a job. Do you disagree?
It's a funny old game as they say.

Bobby Robson has stated several times that Bellamy was the worst player he's had to deal with (or something along those lines - and he didn't mean ability wise)
I thought that was Robert. Anyway, I think in his autobiography he states Romario was the most difficult player he had to deal with - but he was worth it for the good of the team etc. etc.

treat a bloke at work once in his late 60s who had put his cock in a 2 litre coke bottle and couldnt get it back out. so he chopped the whole bottle off and just left the top ring on. he was too embarrassed to come see us for a week and by the time he did come in it was black and dead and ready to be amputated!
moral of the story
use a bigger bottle!
Or a wider-fitting hoover attachment. That was one of our funnier ones when I was in A&E
There was this brand of hoover that was made once which had spinning blades set back about 6 inches or so from the end of the tube. Now, iirc, the average male member is about 6 and 1/2 inches, and it led to a major epidemic of mutilated men going to A&E having had the the last 1/2 inch of their glans penis (i.e. bell end) cut off.
. Not to mention very substantial blood loss.This is a true story btw, I have seen the articles myself published in very respectable medical journals. It's before electronic copies, so I can't link it, but trust me, it's true.
How hard was it for Shola to miss?

I think you have just described a potential new Olympic event. I'd watch it.
