Belated Happy Birthday!

Media hype at its best, probably in the hope that a fairy tale career could promote "soccer" in the States. He's only 19, but whenever I've seen him he doesn't look a special talent compared to other players in his age group.

Benfica IIRC. Monaco, but only featuring as a sub.

Tynetalk these days is largely the dumbest of the dumb. Lawton must be going senile if he's taking opinion from there As I've said I think we'll end up with Poyet. I also suspect it'll be grim. A couple of good months in the third division apart he's done nothing at all in management. It's another managerial disaster in the making. Might not be the biggest forum in the world but at least they have good footballing discussions. Some on here just want to agree with each other no matter what. Perpetual arse licking really. Not only that, we are snobby as well.

How many of these very young Über-Wunderkinder are actually really turning good later?

They already have an option to tie him down for another year, haven't they? He would have been mad to accept a different offer (if there has ever been one) when given the opportunity to manage Real.

That's the thing (and the same applies to the supposed meeting with people who didn't renew their executive boxes). You'll only fool most people once and then they'll never trust you again. I mean, how stupid does he think people are? You want an answer? See http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/...board,14.0.html

It's strange and ridiculous how out of touch they seem to be. The only moment where it looked like they understood football as a business was when they appointed Keegan and reeped the reward. Shame they did their very best to shoot themselves in the feet (nine times).

Scored, probably now going to be the newest greatest player ever...

I got talked into the real ale movement when I was working in Birmingham and have to say it do like it. Much better than to drink the shit you usually get.

Is Kamen Shapkarov a member? [/blastfromthepast]

Back again for me with a different link.

Among the blind the one-eyed is king.

Eh? Apart from Wise, we seem to have noone in the backroom staff who should be pulling in anything like that money. I'd bank on us having the least expensive (in terms of worth and number) coaching staff in the prem He's probably referring to all the people Fat Sam wanted but have already left the club again...

Who is he trying to kid? Is he really thinking fans are that stupid?

I wish him all the best and that he keeps fit - and retires.

Has Geordielad hacked your account?

It might be fatalism, but it's the reality of the situation we face. I'd be astonished if we don't lose three senior strikers in the summer, to replace them is unlikely enough, to replace four is near impossible. See, I think that replacing Shola is quite easy. There are loads of strikers in the british Divisions of the same quality (and likely to be on smaller wages), nevermind in the European leagues. If Shola had proved himself in any way in the last couple of years the decision would make sense, but he proved to be an unreliable, injury prone donkey with only few glimpses of talent. He deserves being sacked for not understanding the offside rule anyway.

Giving Shola a new contract because there might not be anyone else from the current setup left is fatalism but not reason.

Spurs, Blackburn and Pompey would be a dream.

Would be nice to see 'arry getting more or less two teams relegated this season.
