Anybody been on smodcast.com recently? Festooned with podcasts. Almost daily now and each one's a gem!

Good to see Sol's kite has shrunk.

I hear Balotelli out for 6 weeks with a knee injury. And Mancini said he would be better than Torres.... Hah!

Proper footy back at the weekend. I hate the international break.

You use smilies like Del Boy speaks french.

1. What would be a good season for Newcastle? Where will you finish in the league? I'd snap yer hand off for safety. 2. What do you think would be a good season for Everton? Where do you think we will finish in the league? 7-8th I think. You do okay but just seem to be on the outside looking in. 3. Who is your best player? Xisco.... Just kidding. Enrique is class. 4. Which Everton player do you fear most? Marc Hottiger. 5. How do you rate David Moyes as a manager? Neither nowt nor summat. Does well with what he gets though. 6. What do you think of Everton fans? How do you rate our support? Never met one. Don't know. I can bet you're not as arrogant as the red side o' your city. 7. What will the score be? Mmm. You'll win. 1-0

So, do you just copy others posts and claim as your own often?

I hated kevin Scott. Just seemed marginally worse than Darren Peacock when we first signed him. Pavel was a great servant and a half-decent shotstopper but my shite he couldn't handle crosses. Boxing day against blackburn was a major standout for me.

About 2.19 in. I was leaping up before the first bounce.

Oh Dear.

Can someone PM me please?

I play regularly on ps3. Feel free to add me. PSN ID is in my sig.

I can't honestly think of any other reason to turn down Milan and Werder Bremen...was there anyone else?..Liverpool?..hate saying it, but they're all more attractive than us at the moment.And didnt his agent say that they were told to find a new club (i.e. us) and he wasn't allowed to go because Milan wanted to pay cash now rather than a loan? It all points to us offering the most dosh for me. We're paying some players 50k+ a week. No player coming in is reportedly on more than 25k. But Mike Ashley could also say the moon is made of green cheese and it would be about as truthful coming from that fuckers gob. Based on nowt then. Fair enough. That bold bit makes no sense either, L'OM wanted to sell him outright and not loan him to us. It was reported in the french press that firm offers to buy him were on the table. It seems other clubs were in for him but he had his heart set on coming to us. No one knows for sure but nothing i've read since the end of July has suggested we were offering massive wages and thats why he was coming to us. I could equally put forward the view that he has been a life-long fan and has always dreamed of playing for NUFC. In fact that (daft) opinion is actually supported by the fact that he is with us. As you say, we don't know for sure, but for me money motivates some players more than the glory of champions league football. Or as mentioned the likes of Milan and Bremen passed and he came back to us with his tale between his legs last week. Well if you want to look at it that way then there is nothing to prove you arent right (just seems less likely to me) but i take the point about modern footballers in general. My optimistic view is that he wanted a team where he could shine, a sporting challenge in a new league to escape the constant media attention in France and the non-stop debate over his actions on and off the pitch. I also want to believe that we are profiting from the Shepherd era where this club was elevated to the top tier of European football, we signed Ginola and Robert, we established connections with great European clubs and the reputation of our support is known amongst people who Ben Arfa is known to have discussed the move with (Cantona) and those who live in Marseilles in the summer (Beye, Cisse). Thats mostly pure speculation from me, apart from the Cantona bit. I think he has looked at us and seen a fit. Whether he can live up to his reputation (as a gifted footballer) with us remains to be seen. Interesting angle reg Beye and Cisse and another thing, to French players of this type the ambience of a club is as important as its stature, a starlet like Bafra thrives on the right kind of supporter and the right kind of passion which is what we almost alone in the PL are all about. I've travelled around Europe a fair bit in the last ten years and people are very happy to talk about Newcastle as much as say a Liverpool, we are still carrying that certain aura that excites certain kinds of players. I think he has looked at us and fancies running the midfield, I might add I would rahter have him than Nasri who is similar, but not as gifted. On the comments page on Le Figaro today some were saying far better than Nasri. Also was interesting seeing their comments about us, some bad but some very good with one lad criticising the 'descendents' of Newcastle (critics) saying that our downfall was due to the stupid owner and we are one of the few clubs with the ability to break into the top 4. Bit over the top but as you say, shows the lingering reputation of the club (which we have the previous board to thank for). A few people on here need to let go of their emotional baggage and enjoy the fact that we've brought in a mad/bad/crazy/creative bit of gallic flair. Its going to be fun. Agreed. He's certainly more gifted than Nasri, but perhaps lacking a bit on application. Wenger doesn't throw many words around and his comment on Bafra (Maradonnaesque) speaks volumes. He really has everything that his postion/s require and properly supported withing the club and made to feel wanted and taken to heart by the supporters ( I have no doubts about that) we really have ourselves that rare thing: a magician. wow. Another Tony Green, now that would be nice. Fitting then he'll debue against Blackpool. but he's on loan, meaning he will fuck off I'm very positive unless an insane offer comes in we can keep him for a few seasons and hopefully he'll enjoy it so much he'll also WANT to stay. Anyway can we enjoy this for a few months? Just adding to the quote pyramid. abit immature that like i would say I concur.

Wasn't keen on the MOTD lot having a jolly chuckle as Barton was getting hacked to pieces. Might as well have put canned laughter and a 'WAH-WAAAH!' Noise at the end of every foul. Twats.

We will not score again.

I'll take a draw.

Wigan 1-up. LOL.

2bias is watching the same river as me by the looks of it.

Happy to be proved wrong.

We will not score.

I knew it.

I can sense a wolves goal.

thanks for the link, nyff!

Me please.
