aye, we are better off with Owen 152828[/snapback] Leazes Mag, I presume.

Poor Hargreaves. Puts a good shift in at CM and gets rewarded with a place at RB.

Class stuff, Sammy.

Nobody said he was shit. But the fact is that no big clubs were interested in him at the time because there was a perception that he was a troublemaker and more hassle than he's worth. He's kept his nose clean and played very well since he went to Blackburn, but that doesn't change what his behaviour was like when he was at Newcastle. I'm just so not-arsed about Bellamy and what club he signs for and think people need to fucking get over it tbh.

Sonny Anderson was a Brazilian international tbf.

what about for Host nations that don't play a competitive match? 152561[/snapback] Good point but perhaps Germany's 'low' ranking is a result of this. On a slightly different note, watch Australia shoot up the rankings in the next 4 years, given we're now a part of Asia, will be playing many more competitive matches and going by this WC, will be one of the leading Asian nations. 152567[/snapback] I think you're forgetting that you're about to lose Hiddink. I expect you'll struggle to replace him and his influence tbh. Didn't he say that you lot were a shambles when he first turned up?

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: 152535[/snapback] Just had the exact same reaction. Brilliant. :lol::lol::lol:

Calm down dear, it's only a Welsh dwarf!

Only if you start a "I'm jealous of the US because I can't be so flamboyant outside of San Fansisco" campaign. 152520[/snapback] That wouldn't really be a campaign, would it? 152521[/snapback] Fair enough, admit it and I'll change my sig. 152522[/snapback] Ok, O-KAY, it wasn't a P-KAY.

Zath, you should start a campaign. Can I suggest "No WAY was that a P-KAY!" as your slogan?

Britons in quotation marks, I notice. I dunno, they find themselves one decent sportsman and they get all territorial about it.

I'll be sure to tell my other half that shes an arsehole based on the car she drives... 152477[/snapback] Tell her she's going out with one an'all!

Bruce Arena is Homer Simpson when he had hair tbh.

Well? What's your real one according to the computer, Mongerson?

Mates with her sons. Namedrop-alop-a-dingdong! Judy was a looker back in her day btw-sometime circa the Norman conquest. 152420[/snapback] The children are about 14 or something, aren't they?? Groomer!

Real name: Sca Board name: Gemmimo

Spastinho!

Judy has got a face like a smashed cinema seat, but what on earth was manc-mag doing in their bedroom? Richard wasn't there, but no denials on Judy.

Nasty business. You'd have to be a bit of an arsehole to knock a schoolkid down, check the damage, and then take off.

Have you tried rebooting?

Pool ball in a sock.

Wait til Leazes finds out that spongebob is no better than one of those tax-dodging benefit-bludging immigrants.

A full recovery in 5-6 months is quite possible. I had mine operation excactly one year ago and was allowed to do full sports again in December. The biggest problem normally is rather the lack of match practice which means you need another couple of months to rediscover your form. 151708[/snapback] I reckon rediscovering your form as a chubby, bespectacled German lecturer is a different kettle of fish tbh.

Look at my above post, Eriksson said he was fit to play but whatever reason he didn't even make the bench. 151654[/snapback] those quotes don't paint the best picture i admit. but i find it hard to believe that a fully fit and confident michael owen would have refused to play for us, regardless of what erikson says. maybe i should be more cynical. i'm basing my opinion of his commitment to nufc on the performances i've seen him put in for us. he was obviously desperate to get fit for the world cup but does that mean he isn't committed to newcastle? was he deliberately misleading our medical staff or was he genuinely concerned about coming back too soon? i don't know. to be fair to him it was the last game of the season - he didn't want to take any chances. 151664[/snapback] A match very important to us (NUFC), the club that pays his wages. It has been widely reported that the sole reason Owen joined us from Real Madrid was to improve his England chances. Have you forgotten this? 151671[/snapback] Renton man, he came to us to get regular football for two reasons: a) he was pig sick of sitting on the bench, and b ) he wanted to play in the World Cup. You're making far too much of the England thing. Yes, he clearly loves playing for his country (although I think a lot of the shine will have been taken off by this World Cup), but he's not stupid enough to want a football career where he just went through the motions at club level to get to big tournaments with England. He's still got to have a club career and that's with us at the minute. He broke his foot and now he's buggered his knee. I don't know what you want from the bloke???
