iirc the signing went through with a few games remaining for France, so I watched him closely. He was crap. probably the only first choice world cup winning striker ever to not actually score a single goal during the tournament if memory serves. And am I right in thinking the only Toon player ever to have a world cup winners medal?

People love rewriting history like. If he's half as good as Dyer was at his peak he's worth it. would rather chuck in a £10m bid for sturridge, then when we get told to fuck off look at this lad.

I'm sorry mate but you know nothing. Leazes is the fifth best poster on here. In the last 4 years good posters like Leazes have gone and been replaced by inferior posters. This board has been dropping down the posting list for years now, who is to blame for this? Who is repsonsible for the loss of profile and the decline in interest? The lack of ambition of the current posters is there for all to see, in fact I pointed this out 4 years ago and the likes of you refused to admit that I was right and you were wrong. I'm not claiming to know anything, if you re-read what I wrote I said I wasn't having a go at leazes. All I am saying is I would like some variety in the posts I read, not the same argument in 5 different threads, is that too much to ask?

Replacing Andy Carroll with Yakubu is like replacing Chris Waddle with Billy Whitehurst. Clown. Still angry at this point were we? Cheer up I wasn't suggesting Yakubu was a replacement for Carroll, but I think you know that. At least I hope you do. Surely not? Anyway.. According to this.. Stephen Ireland .. could be available for £4 million. That would be a steal as long as he would accept a big wage cut because I would imagine his wages are astronomical having moved from City reluctantly. He was one of City's best players only a few seasons ago and he is still only 24 or so. could say the same about Joe Cole or SWP (other than being 24) but they both look finished... Other than being 24? I would say that kinda of puts Cole and SWP outside of the discussion regarding signing Ireland. I just think it's a big punt on someone who we haven't seen the best of, (apparently) has a shit attitude, (seems to be) injury prone and who may never recapture his previous form. Reeks of Alan Smith all over again...

wey that's tits as well... looks more like a training top to me.

How hard is it to put the crest entirely on one solid background colour? It fucks me off the it's only slightly popping onto the white, makes it look like a proper afterthought...

must every thread on here descend into the same argument?? Is there some way of flagging these threads on the forum homepage so I know not to bother clicking on them? This is neither meant to wind up Lazes or anybody else or to demonstrate me taking a position for/against either of the club's most recent hierarchies. It is a genuine question from someone who can't be bothered to re-read this all over again.

Gary Hooper, 17 goals in 22 (micky mouse league) games this season, 23 years old. Reckon he's be worth a shot if we could get him for under £5m. Would still need another PROVEN top level striker as well though.

AC is a young professional footballer who did what any sane human being would have done in his position, so he’ll probably get booed by our increasingly narcissistic away support. I like Andy Carroll. He played fantastic football for us, helped us up the league and ended up bringing us an astronomical amount of money. No one could possibly say that he hasn't done an incredible amount for Newcastle. But I don't see why you have to be insane to say 'no, 20,000 a week will be enough for me. I don't need more money, if it means leaving Newcastle.' depends if he becomes a fake badge kisser or if he doesn't celebrate if/when he scores in my opnion. Will still get shit from a lot of the crowd though I suspect.

They're trying to lower their average age in the Chelsea squad and the likes of Drogba & Anelka are in the twilight years - I reckon one or both will be off by the end of next season so no way they will want to sell Sturridge unless someone pays well over the odds for him. Looks a great talent from what I've seen and would love to see him here though.

you can get a DSLR that will shoot video for around £600 quid (Cannon 550D) which are fairly decent (it's basically the same as a Connon 7D but in a less sturdy casing). If you're into extreme sports you can get an HD Hero for a couple of hundred quid which is shock/water proof and you can attach to a bike helmet or whatever, or go diving with it, got no screen on to watch what you're shooting though so you would need an external monitor... If you want an actual camcorder that looks like a camcorder, sony or panasonic are a good bet - everything seems to record onto memory cards as well these days so that makes editing a piece of piss. If you really just want the most basic editing functions you'll probably be fine with IMovie (if you're on mac) or Windows Movie Maker (PC) both of which I think may be free? Or as someone already pointed out a lot of the cameras come bundled with some basic cut and paste editing software. If you want something a bit more advanced get Adobe Premiere Elements/Final Cut Express/Sony Vegas. Absolutely pointless shelling out X-hundreds of pounds on Avid or Final cut studio for what you require. Hope that's some help?

Ireland & Best down at Tup Tup Palace? Folan aswell, how can you forget his 6 pack I couldn't remember the bairns name! is he even old enough to booze?

Ireland & Best down at Tup Tup Palace?

Nee idea who that fella is like, would have thought Beckham was still the most recognisable sportsman in the world personally, or maybe C Ronaldo/Messi??

Would hate to lose any of Barton/Nolan/Colo/Erique but Tiote has been an absolute warrior in the middle of the park, as others have said previously I can't remember when a player in that position has had such an impact on the first team!

Not very popular eh Kev?

We've had some shit in my lifetime but that is right up there with the worst of it. If the front is that shit imagine how utterly gash the back with it's inevitable panel will be... Main problem with puma is they are a gimicky manufacturer - it's all about capes and panels and where can we stick the fucking cat on this one... unlike umbro who have the more classic (and better) looking tops these days.

You got a good recipe Snake?? All the ones I've previously been given by friends have been a let down.

Made these last night, added some mixed nuts to the recipe and topped with melted dark chocolate...really nice, took some to work today and they didn't last long! http://www.channel4.com/4food/recipes/chef...er-booster-bars

here you go Donald, get yours banished... http://www.derekacorah.com/contact.php

Unfortunately the warranty has long since lapsed, I've had it 2 years and it was 2nd hand when I bought it. Its a shit laptop anyway, other than the fact you can flip the screen around and turn it into a tablet - which is only really useful for photoshop in my experience. Gonna get a shiny new mac when I get paid

violent comic book tosh but I thought it was moderately entertaining...

Cheers Rob - It's an HP and I read a bizarre fix last night. Apparently there's a problem with the North Bridge (whatever the fuck that is?) and what I read was to switch it on then bundle it up in a towel for 8 hours or so, then switch it off and back on again - and it fucking worked, I shit you not! It will no doubt be fucked again by the time I next use it and I don't fancy having to go through that everytime I want to switch it on so probably gonna buy a new one?
