Kevin Carr's Gloves

Skysports.com understand that Portsmouth have made a renewed bid to snatch Obafemi Martins from under the noses of Newcastle. We revealed on Sunday that a €16 million (£10.9 million) deal had been struck between Newcastle and Internazionale for the Nigerian striker. "I can confirm we have agreed a fee with Inter Milan for Obafemi Martins," chairman Freddy Shepherd told the club's website. "It is now up to the player and the agent to agree terms on offer." However, it can now be revealed that Pompey have not given up hope of landing Martins and have now made a fresh bid - with an increased offer of personal terms. It is now believed that Martins is seriously considering making the move to Fratton Park rather than St James' Park. Newcastle held lengthy discussions over the weekend with Martins's representatives and progress was made. But nothing was signed and that has given Portsmouth the opportunity they needed to make their move. While Newcastle can offer Martins big wages, they cannot live with the new found financial power of Pompey - who are now bankrolled by Alexandre Gaydamak. Manager Harry Redknapp is keen to bolster his squad and Martins would no doubt represent his biggest coup to date, despite the summer arrivals of England internationals Sol Campbell, David James and Glen Johnson.

It was really good as close as a series could get without becoming a documentary. Some licences taken but not as bad as the Conn Iguddon (SP) series of books.

Looking over everyything haven't we just made up the interest of this Sheik. From what i can see it it just an investment group.

Dicky Bird? 182123[/snapback] Don't you dare mock Dickie Byrd. He is a legend.

I love that analogy. Didn't they go on a losing streak in the Championship before Big Mick turned them around? 182057[/snapback] Won their second game iirc. Which was a shame as had they lost it they would have been officially the worst team in recorded history in any league. 182093[/snapback] One short of equalling Darwen's record of consecutive league losses wasn't it? 182094[/snapback] So where are they now they haven't won since they joined the prem.

Aye if they can get the Hall's 40% it shouldn't be hard to buy up enough to have a majority holding in which case I think they may be able to oust Shepherd from the chairman's role, assuming only a simple majority is needed. If that happened then I'd fully expect Fat Fred to fuck off with his tail between his legs. 182022[/snapback] You can bet that Fred is telling the Halls that a condition of selling has to be his continued involvement. Not going to be that easy to get rid of the fat cunt. 182025[/snapback] I don't think he can make that demand.

I know we slag them off for mentioning us all the time but........ If it is a Sheik wanting to make us great the the makems will just die!!!!!

You've got to ask what someone who can't drink or have casual sex is doing going to magaluf.

The Muslim community are victims of their own silence. I have not heard strong muslim voices denouncing the Muslim on Muslim violence in Iraq. I have not heard strong voices saying that these suicide bombers are going to hell for going against the quran (see my sig). Until this starts to happen Mistrust and fear will prevail. And as we all know "Fear leads to hate, hate leads to anger, And that way lies the dark side"

Heres tp you Bobby come back to SJP soon. "There's only one Bobby Robson" "One Bobby Robson" "Were walking along" "Singing a song" "Walking a Robson wonderland"

I'm the same at weekends, I'll be up 8am at the latest tomorrow. 180162[/snapback] me too with a hangover most likely.. never mind I am catching up on a few films I Sky+'d, Along came a spider and the Manchunian Candidate 180164[/snapback] Bloody man u supporters get everywhere.

Been going for 13 years now.

The worst case I have seen of this was Owen Hargreaves against I think Sweden. He put in a tackle next to his own byline and gave away a corner. He was rolling around 2 yards off the pitch and while no one was looking crawled back on to it just in front of where the corner was taken.

I agree. But our transfer policy has been a shambles for some time now. It's not the how much money you spend Leazes its how you spend it. Freddie out.

What was your question Rents? 178994[/snapback] 178995[/snapback] I don't know the answer but to bring down a plane with a cabin device would be difficult. The reason being the amount of explosion and the lack of containment which the explosion needs to cause problems. I am not explaining this well but. a small amount of explosive set light to on its own wouldnt go bang. It needs to be contained in something to cause an explosion. If that something is for instance a plastic container again not much harm done as burning plastic wouldn't harm the inside of a plane. It needs metal to fragment to be seriously dangerous. The terrorists may have thought of doing it. But it really shouldn't have worked. Then again the f*ckers shouldnt have been allowed to take control of a plane with stanley knives. A couple of decently handy blokes could have retaken control. Plus if it wasn't for pilots being arseholes their cockpits should be completeley sealed with no access allowed by law during flights.

Car accident got my knees completely f*cked smashed botrh femurs. One was forced through the back of me pelvis. Broke 5 ribs me clavicle dislocated both shoulders broke me wrist.

I vote he means obnoxious 177011[/snapback] Not unless that is now a big word for c*nt. George Galloway is a tosspot he will do anything to be an MP and get attention. He has glorified suicide bombers called for attacks on his own country and thinks Saddam Hussein is a good guy. At the moment he is sucking Islam's dick cos that is his electorate. 177024[/snapback] Mohammed on a monkey spunk moped! 177032[/snapback] I am waiting for the fatwah as we speak.

No change there then. I personally hope Titus breaks Bellamy's knee when he comes here.

Doesn't it annoy other norn iron people he seems to think he is English?

What annoys me is all the five live tw*ts who said Souness was right to sell him are the same ones saying he will be an incredible buy for Liverpool. Alan Green is a c*nt.

I said this a year and a half ago. Steven Naismith Kilmarnock.

Apparently he isn't just a normal merc leaving us for the cash. He actually plays for Argentina in the world cup. W*nker.
