The Fish

reminded me, in some weird convoluted way that I won't go into, that it's lunchtime.

I think I speak for Rob W aswell if I say that £20m at todays prices when we're massively overstocked in midfield makes sense, but JJ could have been a top class central midfielder if he'd had the right management/self discipline.

es it always rain on me?

howay Papa, tell us your real feelings. nothing new to add here, just to say that the buying and selling this summer has not given me any hope for next season. We've let too many first team players go and brought in squad players (with the exception of Parker, Boumsong and Emre)... the big issue for me is that those players that we have let go have not been replaced adequately. Bellamy - No-one Robert - No-one Hughes - Moore? Ambrose - No-one O'Brien - Moore? Butt - Parker or Emre I've been assured that Emre prefers the center of the park so he's no replacement for Robert. Coco could be a sound signing, and he strikes me as a player of the calibre and experience we've needed, but has he not been signed to replace Babayaro? and if so, why the feck did we sign the lazy nigerian bastard in the first place? Moore is a shocking signing. no more no less to say on that. Viduka/Anelka.. I can't see them scoring the 20 goals we'll need from a front man, and they don't have the team spirit to work their bollocks off and provide goals for other players. They don't strike me as being particularly useful when it comes to repairing a "fractured" dressing room, and forgive the terminology but it's Souness', they look for more cancerous, than Hughes, Bellamy et al. this whole thing stinks to high heaven and this season looks more and more like it's going to be Newcastles worst in the Premiership. the fault lies with two men, Grame Souness and the man who appointed him, both have to go and both have to go before Xmas

does it like they do on the discovery channel

I can see both sides here, JJ jasn't been performing to the level we expected from him and £10m is a fair price for the player that he could be. You have to wonder though, if managers of Wenger/Ferguson and Jol's calibre are interested.. maybe there is some talent in there after all? He's certainly got the basis to be a great player, but seems 10% short in all areas. He certainly will not find that 10% working under these coaches and this manager,a dn he wont want to stick it out if the fans don't want him. He's still young and has I truly see the potential in him to be something special. I'm not sure we're going to sell him before the window closes and if that's true I expect him to stay for another season under the new boss, whoever comes in at Xmas. The problem for me is the reason he's leaving, he's not being sold for footballing reasons.. so all this talk about him not being good enough or underperofrming is not the reason he's going. It's a falling out with Souness by the sounds of things. Another one. I think Jenas' major problem is that he never knew his role at the club, he wasn't a defensive midfielder who was ordered to hold in front fo the back four while more delicate midfielders surged forward, nor was he given license to roam and he certainly was not played alnog side a defensive midfielder and told to play from our box to theirs. I'm a firm beliver that if you don't know your specific job, you will perform at all. That's why I prefer Keegan to Robson, Batty was clearly bought and instructed for one prupose, as was Ginola, Kilcline etc. How many players have we had that can play "anywhere", "Utility" players.. They're the jack of all trades and the masters on none. Jenas would have benefitted from a Batty or even prolonged appearances beaside Gary Speed in the center of the park. Told, "Jenas, you pick up the ball from Defender/Defensive Midfielder and you carry/pass/work the ball up to the strikers/attacking midfielders" He's got the engine, he can tackle (if he wasn't so afraid of getting hurt or booked), he can pass, he's got good feet, he's got a shot, he's not pondersome and he's got more height than your average central midfielder. He goes and we get £10m, fair enough.. he goes for £5m I'd be VERY disappointed in both Shepherd and Jenas. If, like I suspect, he stays for another season or so and he gets to play a consistant role in the first team then I reckon we'll see a marked improvement. P.S. Freddy just stated that we've had no transfer request from JJ

is judging me without factoring in vairables like; time, levels of exhaustion, apathy, distraction... nor does he seem at all considerate of the fact that poor spelling is like xmas wrapping, it's that which is inside that counts, not how it is presented. oh and the famous person above sucks a big fat woody

I get ripped for reading comics, for still being infatuated with an ex, I get ripped for the large number of girls that I have had "relations" with, I get ripped for being really good mates with my dad. but then I rip everybody about everything, I am impossibly masoginistic and revel in awkward silences... I fucking love them.... so alls fair I suppose

got to be honest I don't fancy any of them much prefer women with a little bit less plastic and little bit more classic

was poorer dfor being without a Physic teacher called Mr Newcombe that's right a Mr Nukem teaching you physics... perhas this is why I'm not quite... normal.

is so right he can't be wrong

is not a bovarian mollusc

I've no photos of me... how about a witty remark instead?

so the woman at the local bar has had 7 kids and I'm bering honest here... I can't see how anyone could have fucked her....not even once... so quite how she's managed to pop off 7 fucking kids... is to me.... fucking random and worthy of this thread. thank you and goodnight.

missed my input and sold his sould to the "divil" to get it back.... now he must ask himself... was it really worth it?

brought a smile to my miserable mush tonight. you glorious prat

howay medina, you didn't give us much insight there marra

is not bernie cliftons real ostriche! but could possibly be Harold Bishops Ankle

I mailed Love in Action... funniest stuff I've read in ages. "You're funny....Parodies are Good... love and hugs Dave Watson" won't mean anything to them, but made me feel superior.... so that's nice.

doesn't realise I made a booboo

should tell SG that his pic aint working

knows how to survive around the central station were chav dodging isn't a sport for fun, but a matter of life or death

I'd rather we didn't have to lose to the mackems for Souness to go, but I think that if we do, he's gone now and that's not nessecarily a good thing. sack him just before the xmas window. never lose to the mackems

made a sentence which makes little or no sense, and for that... he should be ashamed
