Craig

Yous blatantly haven't got a clue tbh. 62698[/snapback] Correct 62700[/snapback] I heard it the other morning and thought I'd stump you lot with it. 62720[/snapback] Giz a little clue, is it cricket for Scotland and Football for England or something like that? 62735[/snapback] Nah, both footballers. One played for England and one for Wales. 62739[/snapback] Didn't Ryan Giggs have a brother who played football? Ryan played schoolboy for England and full international for Wales, did his brother represent Wales at schoolboy level or something?

It is Bobby Moore: 1964 FA Cup 1965 European Cup Winners Cup 1966 World Cup

Was it Bobby Charlton? '66 World Cup '67 1st division premiership '68 European Cup. Was he even captain? Craig who is it? 62638[/snapback] Nope, wasn't Charlton - right era though.... 62684[/snapback] Bremner? 62687[/snapback] Nope 62692[/snapback] Who was Liverpool captain then? Emlyn Hughes? 62704[/snapback] No.... And it's football captains...

Is it just me who sees this as purely and simply sour grapes on Allardyce's part? I bet he wouldn't have said a thing about it had his team won and he'd finished the game with 11 men! I don't see his issue tbh, so the referee has an audio link-up with his assistants, what's the difference in the referee being called over by his one of his assistants which we all know happens?? He should be charged with bringing the game into disripute IMO

I will conceed that we're in a worse position than we were 2 years ago. But I won't agree that Craig Bellamy is the sole, or even primary reason for this - in fact I'd argue that he is one of the reasons we went into decline...

Fair enough. I still get the impression that you are constantly defending him from accusations no-one is making (e.g. I haven't seen a single post blaming him for Owen being injured all the time), which is a bit pointless. 62543[/snapback] Mistaken identity on my part tbh - soz....

I've never rated Souness, I don't think he should ever have been appointed as manager and I'll breathe a sigh of relief the day he is replaced. However, I think he gets blamed for things that are beyond his control. Maybe not by you, but by a growing proportion of people. I've never defended him, I've just voiced the view that it would be madness to replace him mid-season...

I'd buy a few of them t shirts over at Newcastle-Online!

So what should we have done? Looked into our crystal balls and see that he was going to get injured and therefore not bought him? Of course, this would never have happened if SBR was still in charge 62424[/snapback] If SBR was still in charge, we would still have a player who played in 54 premiership games in 18 months, while still carrying a painful knee injury ..... Has since been accused by people inside the club of feigning injury and being a "cancer" 62455[/snapback] Bellamy is injury prone too tbh. 62457[/snapback] maybe he was, but he showed a lot more appetite to play for Newcastle than Owen has so far, and others too. Would you call that a "bad influence", No I don't think so. 62463[/snapback] Bollocks! Craig Bellamy was me, me, me..... "If this club signs Wayne Rooney then I'm off!!" Michael Owen has a groin strain for fuck's sake - Bellamy declared himself 'injured' in order that he could talk to the chairman - BIG difference! 62466[/snapback] and Shearer said the same under Gullit ? And Rob Lee would have gone too ? Please explain the difference. Also, please explain if you think its alright for players not to be bothered if they play or not, why we don't buy more Marcelinos ? 62470[/snapback] When did Shearer stand before a TV camera and state that?? As for Rob Lee, you're speculating. Bellamy actually said that.. 62474[/snapback] Shearer has stated on many occasions that if Gullit had stayed and he was out of the team, he would have no choice but to leave. Which is exactly the same as Bellamy said. 62482[/snapback] The BIG difference being that Shearer was talking retrospectively... He'd never have said it at the the time but then that's the professionalism of the man. Don't remember Shearer ever publically calling his manager a liar either, or Owne for that matter

If there was even a modicum of truth in that he'd have kept his trap shut and let the football do the talking.....

Precisely....

But you are Shearergol. 62454[/snapback] Jesus Christ, is that gag still going?

They've always slated .cock ever since the club demanded that they give up the .com address (about 10 years ago now) so there's nothing new there. As for insider gossip, well I think the changes re: the transfer windows have helped see to the decline in that one. They do have competitions but that's not really a new thing either?! And no, I'm not Biffa...

So what should we have done? Looked into our crystal balls and see that he was going to get injured and therefore not bought him? Of course, this would never have happened if SBR was still in charge 62424[/snapback] Why do you always come up with the same shit comments? 62446[/snapback] You're the one who appears to think the Robson could do no wrong and that we'd be better off if he hadn't been sack if I'm not mistaken?? Souness was NOT the right man to replace him, but that doesn't detract from the point that Robson had to go - tbh he should have been relieved of his duties 3 months before he actually was!

One thing's for certain in my mind, if the crowd do get on Luque's back now, then his confidence will be hit and as a result, we may not see him at his full potential. FFS, get behind the players - particularly those who have yet to be given a fair crack...

You're all bambi-oozling me like...

It was about the time it was hacked IIRC. 62365[/snapback] I think it was far earlier and I am pretty sure remembering Phil Craig saying that criticism of their website played a role too. For the website itself: Of course it's their website and they do and say whatever they want (and I made my fair share of contributions occasionally). It's just that I think it isn't as good as it used to be. 62373[/snapback] Is it just merely coincidence that neither of them share your viewpoint on the Bellamy/Robert situations?

Fuck! Repaired it, try again!

Seems like your 'run of the mill' item for sale on Amazon. Righto, now read the second review! http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...5212390-4676451 WTF??
