The Mighty Hog

Michael Owen is 25. If he's not worth £20m then I'm Ruud Van Nistelrooy's jock strap. At least he'd feel like we were really keen and he'd be a big star again. 12112[/snapback] I'm assuming that by meeting Reals valuation that he sees we are keen. IF the fee is £12 million and we have "agreed" it why go back and give them £8 million more. Keep that £8 million and give it to Owen, then he'd know how much we want him. Also why would this £20 million come from? Bearing in mind Souness has already had that amount to spend already since the January window. It's not like he's sold the outgoing players for vast amounts. Fat Fred isn't going to be giving up his dividends.

Well isn't the price agreed with Real? It's just that Owen is waiting to see if the mancs and the scousers will come in for him?

Funny how it works for Wenger and Ferguson though. 12101[/snapback] Not really, they are clever enough to do it through the mouthpieces in the local rags. They allude to certain things in post match interviews then follow it up in the press so Sky and the Beeb don't get sound bites from them. 12103[/snapback] Only half true. I have seen both quite angry and saying just what I'd have liked Souness to have said. Wenger with a less red face, of course. 12104[/snapback] But you admit that they don't go ranting and raving infront of the camera/mics? Wenger and Ferguson have been pissed off in the post match and both have been fined for it. Souness did it and got the same. The point is that they have also done things that the others haven't. We've got a perfectly good sycophant in Anal Oliver who can be the mouth piece and nothing will happen to him, he's out of the FA's reach. Wenger and Ferguson have done the same. This is where the real pressure has come from.

Who says he won't complain? Going infront of the TV cameras and screaming at the bastards last season got him (not to meantion the team, descisions wise) fuck all. How about a different approach like coming back when the blood has cooled. He could still end up getting ignored, fined and banned but atleast it won't look like a heat of the moment rant or sour grapes.

Eugene was a legend. Glad he fucked them over and took half.

A woman doing the dishes.

Well it keeps his price up, if nothing else.

I see Sky gave both Bellamy and Robert a 6 in their ratings.. 11754[/snapback] The bloke that was doing the match updates on 5 Live said all of Pompeys chances came from Roberts deliveries. Nothing else about how involved in the match he was. Mainly had my ears open for ex-player news today more than anything else.

Is that the sound of straws being clutched at and Oliver cranking up the PR machine? Incedently on the Bellamy front I was listening to the Blackburn match and they said that Bellamy had been carrying a knock this week. Also they weren't massivly complimentary about his performance. But neither did a few Blackburn players. namely Dickov (for obvious reasons) and Emerton.

Basically saying there's no chance now. We were given the price 6 weeks ago, never even came close to it even when we've upped our offers. Boa has been made captain and is staying put. Even if we met the fee now he'd still stay put. Seems to be poo-pooing the Boa Morte unhappy angle, if he had itchy feet he'd never have got the captaincy.

Thats full time now(Apart from Scousers/Smogs) Aston Villa 2 - 2 Bolton Everton 0 - 2 Man Utd Fulham 0 - 0 Birmingham Man City 0 - 0 West Brom Middlesbrough 0 - 0 Liverpool 5.15pm Portsmouth 0 - 2 Spurs Sunderland 1 - 3 Charlton West Ham 3 - 1 Blackburn

A free month can be a good way of starting a clean slate. Go for a month then just get into the habbit of drinking smaller amounts when your out. It's piss easy in the pub. Just have a soft drink every other pint. Tougher if you're doing bars and clubs though.

And Dikov has just seen red after Etherington scored. Some handbags afterwards aswell.

West Ham are 3-1 up now.

2-2 at Villa now

This is the really stand out thing. We can pull it apart all we want but really people are laughing at us, it's because of this that shit like that can be printed. Because most reading it won't disagree but chuckle along.

doesn't that make you shit for hours? 11457[/snapback] No

Eugene. Geek chic. Enough said.

Les Dennis is a canny actor, am sure he's been doing some stuff in the recent past. Maybe even theatre work.

The deafening silence isn't encouraging.

Hollyoaks, awful tv. So plastic. But Darlene is my favourite. She's got lovely....... eyes

Girls Aloud. That amount of cleavage should come with a health warning! So should the songs, like.

IF, and I mean IF, this is right is there much chance of him playing on Sunday? Colemoan has been saying that Boa Morte has been training very hard, so I'd assume he's match fit.

Sultana bran and a glass of cranberry juice. I start the day well, it just goes downhill after that.
