Aye theres nowt wrong with it, the city and its fans get regular mentions and the whole clubs in the spotlight again. I'm taking the kids on sunday.

Aye he was a c*ck on a wind up.

Bramble Zoggy Baba

I think young Bellers was the most effective and active forward on the pitch on Sunday, that is before the goals went in of course. And for that reason I would have someone of his ability in the side no bother. But the problems with the little fella started before GS was in charge ( Rooney speculation was when Bobby was in charge.) I do see your point though.

I forgot all about the threat to leave if the fat bin dipper was signed by the toon. Toonraider, the thing is people only slag off certain players who have left the club, only a very small minority are unlucky enough to be singled out by the supporters. The man in your avatar certainly isnt one of them. The reasons lie in the circumstances of each player leaving our club, whether shite or disruptive, the reasons will be there somewhere. If Dyer left next week I honestly think he would get so much stick from us next time our paths crossed, but if bramble left I think our reaction would be different. Not saying Dyer is shite........oh what the hell he is shite.

Poor bugger, it was the way he moved towards the camera, shaking his head at it whilst trying to cooly chew his gum. Still... 35124[/snapback] Fucking hell! Someone wants to have a word with the parents, the fat little bastard has obviously spent far too much time in Greggs! And what's the kid over his left shoulder just seen? 35128[/snapback] The fixture list.

Was it her that interrupted Bowyer and Dyer's apology press conference? 35060[/snapback] Aye it was, she was on soccer AM and everything that week, she even got into lads mag nuts or zoo. We watch the press conferences for the odd glimpse, the Dyer Bowyer one was classic though.

Cheers, I think she was more bothered at missing the Owen press conference.

Oh ffs. Jesus wept. It proves absolutely nothing man! Edit: Oh yeah, everyone who saw it on Sky would have seen it, obviously. 34943[/snapback] Pathetic but by no means unexpected response from Renton to a good deed from Souness. 35021[/snapback] Seeing as he couldn't have a go at Souness for the result or the performance he needed to have a go for something 35028[/snapback] I posted this on skunkers last night on a similar thread..... My aunt is the tea lady, (yes the same one who starred in the Bowyer Dyer press conference.) She has been tea lady there for over 50 years, her name is Cath Cassidy. Last week she had a heart attack and was hospitalised for the week, when she came home GS and Terry Mac appeared at the door with Dean Saunders. They spent a good 2 hours there making sure she was ok. I'm biased as its my family but what a gent, she was made up, even though she has had the company of Toon managers every week over the last 50 years she thought it was a nice touch, so did the rest of the family. Best thing was, before they got there they got the wrong house in battle hill, and had to be redirected by a bloke down the street, imagine what he was thinking.

Strange, no bitters on any of the Toons boards. Wonder why?

Aye, he would have been a canny player for us I think, we could still go for him in January, depending on injuries. And lets be honest our club is the most injury prone in the world bar none.

Probably a bit mixed but mainly good. The whole ground got up and cheered when it was announced over that he had just scored his first goal for Real last season. Just like Newcastle fans are the best and most deserving of a trophy in all of football eh 27099[/snapback] Of course!

That was an accident, I honestly think sky look for the mongs, someone from here should go over, then again..........

For Gods sake man, how thick do our fans look to the rest of the nation? Is it just me or does anyone else here have to turn the volume down on SSN when they go live to SJP? Oh and 'Owens coming home'......... for fecks sake!

That's not entirely true now is it. If you recall the start of the 2001/02 season he was absolute dross and many were complaining about him. That said, I'd still love to see him back! 24057[/snapback] I meant on arrival at Villa, he has continued to show he creates and scores goals. One bad season I will allow him that. Just remembering that winner against Leeds away.

£9m according to SSN for Jenas.

SSN just now, Newcastle claim NO get out clause.

Solanos form has never wavered, his assists and goals just keep on coming, £1.5m is a snip.

Anyone see the 1-0 sign he gave to the Leazes east corner? I would love to punch his fucking teeth in, the fat twat. There, said it.

Interesting theory, quite possibly true. http://anfieldroad.com/index.php?option=co...d=652&Itemid=51 Written by Jim Boardman Friday, 26 August 2005 Newcastle United have now shown what might have been the real reason for their "bid" for Michael Owen - to put the frighteners on Albert Luque and his club Deportivo la Coruna. Newcastle revealed earlier in the week that they had made a bid to Real Madrid for Owen, believed to be £16million. The buzz coming out of St James's Park was that Newcastle were big hitters in the transfer market and that Owen was on his way. Trouble was, after all of the fanfare of their announcement, they basically gave Owen just 24 hours to make his mind up - a permanent move or no move at all. Owen had earlier said that he was willing to go to play for the Toon if he could not get a deal with Liverpool, but only on loan. Sounness said that was just not on. In fact in all likelihood the deal was never on in the first place. Behind the scenes Newcastle were putting pressure on Deportivo to accept a bid for Luque. Earlier in the week a bid of £7.5million was rejected, but on Thursday the Spanish club accepted a bid for 14 million euros - £9.5million. Luque has agreed terms and now just awaits his medical. Freddie Shepherd, Newcastle chairman, had said the deadline for Owen to sign was yesterday. Sounness seems to be on a different agenda however, saying: "Our offer for Michael is still on the table, we've spoken to his advisors and they're considering it." Perhaps Sounness isn't fully in the picture, Shepherd won't have a lot of patience left with Sounness, who's team have managed only one point from a possible nine in their opening games. After finishing in the bottom half of the table last year their only hope of qualifying for Europe was through the Intertoto - and they failed in that too. Unless Shepherd has changed his mind, Real are running out of options. Owen has made it clear that if he's not part of Real's starting line-up then he wants a return to the Premiership. He's ruled out a move to France and Gerard Houllier's Lyon. Manchester United confirmed they had no interest in signing the player - after Real's propaganda machine tried to bring them into the running to prompt an auction. Arsenal have also admitted they like the player but have no intention of signing him. So Owen joins Liverpool or stays at Real. Owen's already made it clear he wants to come back to Anfield. Madrid and Liverpool now need to meet somewhere in the middle. Madrid won't get what they want for the player. Liverpool will pay a sensible amount for him. Rick Parry, Liverpool's Chief Executive, gave little away when interviewed at yesterday's Champions League draw. He said: "Wait and see. There's been far too much speculation on it already. Let's just rely on facts and we'll see when we get to that day." The day in question being the closure of the transfer window next week. Speaking about stories that he and David Moores (the Liverpool Chairman) had been overruling Rafa Benitez over the signing of the player, Parry said these stories were untrue. He said: "My personal feelings do not have anything to do with it. One myth that can be dispelled is there's never been a difference of opinion between Rafa and me. We're just keeping our counsel." The truth is that Liverpool want Owen, for a sensible price. They will not be ripped off, and so the negotiation continues: "There's some work to do and it's a few days before the deadline, so we'll see." The Reds are still looking for reinforcements in other areas, and one target is Bolton's Stelios Giannakopoulos. Bolton value him at £2.5million, Liverpool at closer to £1million. Stelios is now in the final year of his contract, so would be available for nothing next summer. Trotters boss Sam Allardyce was at Anfield earlier in the week watching Liverpool lose against CSKA Sofia. He says he didn't speak about Stelios, but was losing hope of keeping the player: "I'm not confident we will keep him. I really think he may leave - I'm 50-50 at best."

I agree, as much as GS baffles me, he has given the chairman his targets and the chairman has shafted every single one of us. Hitzfeld could come here, tell FF he wants to sign three players, all cost £4m each. FF goes over to the respective clubs has a night in a nice hotel, gets sunk to the nuts and offers each club £2.5m final offer for each player. Do we blame Hitzfeld when the clubs tell us to fuck off? FF must go.

Why would anyone have a pop at Owen for going for Liverpool rather than us, as someone already mentioned we still love the fact Shearer knocked manure back in favour of us. Owen is honest, maybe too honest for his own good, but honest.

Magic.
