Good for him doing what he wants to do, at least he's not wasting the countries money by training to become a pilot despite the fact he will never use any of that, very expensive, training like his brother. Disappointed for him that some nobs broke the news about him at least he got 10 weeks.

I wouldn't say Stevie has come any where near being like one of them nutjobs in anything he has said, he simply agrees with an article that doesn't want anything to do with Sharia law it doesn't even say all Muslims fuck off it is just saying anyone who wants Sharia law to find a country that has it and move there. It is a fair enough thing to say, fair enough the article may come from some Nationalist racist organisation but the actual content isn't racist at all, there are white Muslims too you know and they might fall under those wanting Sharia law. Why is it that if someone disagrees with something about Muslims recently they are seen as some white supremacist, I've read nothing in this thread that shows Stevie to be like that.

There really are some sick people out there.

100 games in 14 or so years fucking hell . Agreed about the article mind just more shite, normally it's 'Geordie hero' Taylor or Given I guess those two have been used too much time for longest serving player Harper to state the obvious. Why don't they stop telling us what they are going to do or what they need to do and just go and do it.

I agree, also iirc it was Woodgate that kept the ball in play 3/4 of the way up the pitch, backheeled it in and then a partizan player got the ball took it down the pitch and with only 3 defenders back they scored. Woodys fault the Bastard .

The way it is going it's starting to look like we'll need a whole new eleven these players are getting embarrassed every weekend yet still think they are great. We should start looking at some of the youth you never know they might come off and might be able to get a place in the team for next season, at least it would be less players to buy. I agree with Asprilla btw I don't see £50m being enough especially with all that new TV money coming in, I'm also starting to wonder about Ashley's commitment yes he cleared the debt but that simply made us more sell-able, I just hope if he wants to sell he does it soon so someone else can come in and give KK funds and if he doesn't want to sell then he actually backs his manager in the transfer market.

It's because they're going into a winning side with good team spirit imo. When things aren't going well you need the team to pull together, encourage one another and work as a unit, something that we've been desperately lacking and one thing that I expect Keegan to get right next season when he has his own side and a full pre-season to work with them. Yeah good point, that must be it. I think our players are completely detached from each other none of them look like they really bother with each other.

We should hoy them in anyway lets face it they cant do much worse than the mugs playing now.

Hugely thought of in Spain they were on about how Madrid or Barca were going to get him before we did, how come every big prospect like this comes here and never does anything whereas if they go to Man U or Arsenal they end up doing well

Horrible accident you can see Taylor going for the ball real shame this like Eduardo is a quality player one of the few Arsenal players that isn't a dirty cheating tosser. The break looks in a very awkward place I'm sure if you look close on that motd video you can see the white of the bone sticking out the sock Hope he recovers fully and it doesn't make him timid when the tackles are flying.

And people give Dwain Chambers stick for taking roids everyones on them

Rubbish idea, if it did work alot of people would be concentrating on not swearing and it would take alot of the passion out the game. I think it's fine if they are going to start booking players who abuse the referee but sending off for swearing is a bit far.

I'm waiting on the article whinging about Bobby saying we're bigger than Tottenham etc

Remember Goldie looking chain

Quality player he was still banging them in for Milan wasn't he?

Ah that must be her just remember her being at a Gateshead competition and her getting some stick. Very true although I'm not a fan when it happens which is why I really hope Almunia doesn't ever get called up to the England squad, it's also why I'm not too keen on Hargreves playing for England too. Yeah this is a problem I remember when they snapped up the best steeple chaser his Kenyan team mate (who was the second best) was irate about it, I think he soon changed from Quatari to American though so he's a complete mercenary.

Have those two things been proven? Can they even be proven? Yes THG doesn't stay in the system that long he was Banned 4 years ago now he's been clean all that time he's had tests since coming back and during his ban (when he made a dismal attempt to play in NFL europa). He has always been the size he is now (size isn't everything in sprinting though Tyson Gay is alot smaller than Chambers but also a hell of alot better also Shawn Crawford and Jason Smoots are bigger than Chambers but I wouldn't say either are better especially not Smoots) and since track and field athletes are amongst the most often tested sportsmen and women around I doubt he'd been on THG very long as the testers are normally quick to catch up with the newest steroids. Jaap Stam and Edgar Davids were both banned after testing positive for nandrolone and there wasn't much of an outcry when they returned after only 6 month bans this whole thing has been unfair on Chambers imo he admitted to using the drugs he wasn't like Marion Jones and lied about it, served the ban which was given too him if they didn't want him back they should have given him a longer ban. I hope he wins in Valencia then goes on to make the British Olympic team, not that we will win anything in the sprinting events at the Olympics but he is our best shot. Spot on. What strikes me about this is alot of people in the media that are talking about this subject probably didn't know or care much about sprinting. If they really want to vilify someone so much theres a lass who does long jump or triple jump who was born and raised in England but is competing for Italy now and from what I remember she is good.

They're completely out of his system now, he already had the physique he has before he took THG he was already a very good sprinter he just wanted that little bit extra to get amongst the elite (mainly Americans). I'm personally glad he has been selected he's shown real determination and it simply would be unfair on him if they turned round and denied him, they set the ban length. We are amongst the harshest when it comes to steroids, I'll scrap what I said about Gatlin I've just found out his 8 year ban was cut to a 4 year and now it's been cut to a 2 year one, they reckon he might protest to have it halved again he'll be at the Olympics by this rate .

You held your own those guys seriously knew nowt. Love their comments like "was that your comeback?" when you fully answered every point the mong was making. Class how he uses beating Stuttgart once as an example of how brilliant Rangers are people like that are generally funny until you relise they genuinely mean what they are saying. Also it was gold when he mentioned 2 players who went on to bigger things from Rangers, then he really did struggle to think of another till a page later he said Alan Hutton.

Everyones an expert on us at the minute, we've just got to take the constant barrage of shite hurled at us because we all know (for the majority of fans anyway) it's not true. The people on that forum really know fuck all one of them thinks Martins is perenially injured like michael owen and duff. Also the amount of glory hunters on there makes me sick they're the sort of people where in a footy conversation in person they would know nowt besides what Man U had won in the last decade, but when they are on a forum they just copy and paste shed loads of shite from wikipedia or repeat what some arsehole sports writer has written. Whooopee the same Ireland fans that also love Man Utd and Liverpool. The US fans will be the same dimwits that want to be Irish for some bizarre reason and due to all the Irish flags at celtic games probably have mistaken celtic for being Irish. Australia and New Zealand he's making it up that lad. Didn't we just spank Celtic 4-1 recently in a pre season game? I've noticed they constantly ducked your point about the only reason Celtic and Rangers win things is because pretty much all the other clubs in the Scottish league are light years behind them. I don't know how you could have been bothered to put up with a load of nonces like that they were in their element attacking Newcastle then as soon as you point at their club your talking shit, don't know anything etc. Celtic and Rangers would struggle in the premiership imo they do well now and again in one off games vs premiership teams but so do league two teams does that mean they could hack it?

Attention seeker-tastic that comment @yourservice posted is class, I noticed this one: Certainly some odd fuckers out there like

I hate them especially around derby time, their shite when on about football because all they seem to be bothered about is beating us or finishing above us I doubt many of them would be disappointed if they finished 19th so long as we were 20th. I've met one or two that were canny but the vast majority are scum probably just the town they're from though because it is a total shit hole. I probably hate them a little less than Cockneys though.

Shame some of the other lads lost their medals because of it although Dervonish deserved to loose his medal simply for the horrific bbc program I saw him on where he messed about pretending to be building his house. Campbell's retired now too so you wont have to worry about it any time in the future either. I definately think they are pushing the boundaries now like, I hope Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell aren't found to be on any drugs or that will show your assumption would be true in the 100m at least.

He's a decent centre back and he probably wont improve loads unless he gets a good centre back alongside him he does have tenancies to do some pretty bizarre stuff but generally is quite dependable. Out of him and Richards it is without doubt Richards that is the better player, he's quicker, stronger, more composed, better tackler, better athlete just all round a better player.
