I agree with Alex. Unfortunately I think we are in for a hard hard season. Even when Souness is binned, the new manager will be stuck with a squad full of central midfield players and one 35 year old forward. Still, it's all Shepherds fault Deja Vue. Start again, again.

question earlier from Jimbo....

Are there many asylums seekers that can't read english ? PS pretty much everything in the highway code is geared to the phrase "when it is safe to do so".

do you manipulate the "quote" facility ??? If you click "reply" it does the same job as "quote". Is the "quote" a method of selecting "quotes" if so how do you use it ??

I think Drogba is a top, top player. Couldn't believe people knocked him last season, for not scoring enough goals because he played for the team more than he wanted. Since when is that a problem !!! He has everything for me, strength, pace, two good feet, heading ability etc. And Chris Waddle talks garbage, always did. He wants to be a coach or a manager, he'll be another Trevor Francis, Souness etc no managerial quality whatsoever.

...there's your answer Rob

I think that Jeanarse is telling a pack of lies when he says he is living in a goldfish bowl. I think he basically is angling for a move and is making an excuse. Why? Who knows, I would guess he knows the club has a shite manager and is going nowhere [but doesn't have the balls of Bellamy to say so] or he is itching for a contract like Dyer's new one. Can of worms whichever way you look at it, and indicative of how the club is being managed and run these days by the fuckwit and his chairman.

you Ayatollah you !

Happy Birthday Jimbo

It's your parents problem - why should the Army have to stand in for parents???? 8487[/snapback] too many parents blame other people for their little luvvies failings.... I can see your point that those who don't want to do it wouldn't be very happy, hey but that's life. You can't always do what you want.....trouble now is, too many think they can....

Well, along with Faye if he's trying to get shot of him too, that's 2 of his proper playes that didn't last long

steady, you might get called a racist ! Thing is though, there are lots of aresholes in football, and they are increasing all the time, among the highly paid ones anyway. Not excusing Bellamy for being a gobby bugger, it's just that it doesn't bother me so long as he was committed to Newcastle and gave everything when he crossed the white line, in Souness own words, which he did of course. In fact he was one of few that did. I would call a gobby bugger a player with desire to be honest. Fair enough. Your comment about his passing ability is enough for me though, he isnt' that good a tackler. The one thing I think he does well is make himself available to take the ball and find space, but that is nowhere near enough to be a player for Newcastle. Agreed. I would have sacked him on the spot for lining up with the Chelsea players for the last game of last season as well. Not bothered about the repercussions of playing with 10 men either, I'd have just sent him packing. I realise he is a stop gap, but selling the amount of players Souness has done means we may have to make more stop gap [panic !! ] buys yet. Foolish. If we can't get them, we are foooooked A 3rd striker ! I think Shearer is only barely going to get his place. We need three ! Going back to the original point, selling Bellamy is a disaster. We now have to replace him [impossible for the price we got for him], replace Shearer and on top of that wouldn't have had a back up for either. The club has had a disastrous time transfer wise, and the current positon they are in is self inflicted. Forwards of the calibre we should buy at Newcastle are expensive, we should have people like Shearer, Ferdinand, Beardsley, Bellamy, Cole all the time. How much do we have and where do you start ??

Bet those who think we are better off without Bellamy and trusted Souness will be pleased ..........

So you think we should give players away ... No good you complaining about Shepherd not splashing cash if you are happy with the club giving players away son And what does the highlight mean ? I reckon you should take some English lessons what is this supposed to mean ???? Took you a long time to think of a reply son, I take that to mean you don't have proper answers as you avoided them when you finally got round to the ones regarding Souness selling bellamy and diving down the league, instead making a stupid jibe as detailed in bold. Nor the statement that FF is telling Souness who to buy and sell, he might be a crap manager but a yes man he is not. Very good. Regarding the bit in bold again, if I had been manager, or you, or anyone else [unless they are a complete incompetent fuckwit] wouldn't have assaulted Bellamy, I wouldn't have played him where he wasn't so effective, I wouldn't have sold him, and I definitely wouldn't have brought players like Faye, Babayaro and Moore to this football club.

What is the "google toolbar "......is it something to do with a google account ?

But you can get on here to post the fact you cant get on the Internet? 8382[/snapback] another possible help http://www.mcse.ms/message1749226.html

http://www.win2win.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=16664 Have a look at this...if you search in google for this fault exactly, there are lots of others who get it. I think I had it myself once but it disappeared when I reinstalled IE6 ( I think this is all i did but not sure). I was hoping to find a link to a microsoft site to specifically deal with it, but suggest you look as well, I will continue having a look for you

thats what I think too, cheers........

Just ran the upgrade advisor for windows xp, this is the report. I am bothered by the reference to my ADSL modem, it is only 14 months old ! Does it mean it won't work ?? As I had to insert my W98SE disk when I installed it, should I uninstall the modem before upgrading, then re-install the modem after upgrading ? The reference to the bus also is a problem, does it mean I have to find the website and download a patch ? Also the reference to the NVIDEA nVIEW Desktop manager.

basically son no one knows how much Shepherd gets involved in transfers, Bobby Robson did though, he said last week that all the sales and buys were all his and the chairman didn't interfere. Now, are you prepared to say that Graeme Souness is any different ? My opinion is that if Shepherd attempted to interfere with this manager he would be told pretty abruptly where to go. Robert is less of a loss than Bellamy, but to say just to let him go for nowt is OK, and get caught out replacing him - well I think if you think that you are a complete fuckwit like Souness. You are obviously right about sorting out discipline, but who was nr 1 on the indisciplined list ? Thats right, mr fuckwits model professional, Kieron Dyer. A good man manager would have sorted out discipline by gaining respect from his players, not assaulting them on the training ground. In any walk of life, such things would be rewarded with the sack and if he had got it we would be in a much healthier state with someone else managing the club. Souness was also appointed to give us a good football team believe it or not, and I am pretty damn sure that selling our most influential forward and not replacing him with someone as good was not in his contract. I am pleased you think that a "happy" dressing [is it shite a happy dressing room, witness 2 player scrapping on the pitch, it was happy when we were in the Champions League though] and finishing 14th in the league is better than an "indisciplined" one that finishes 5th. You see, you can't argue with results. If you do, you are a fuckwit son. Bollocks. Souness is the manager now. It's always the managers job to take over the running of the club and run it to the best of his ability. He paid his fee back, or a large chunk of it by his performances and helping the team qualify for the Champions League. no one knows. We might find out when he deservedly gets sacked, for doing a utterly shite job.

I think the whole question of selling Bellamy is a complete no-brainer. Our most influential and effective forward, for a pittance, simply because we had a new manager with a reputation for being a bully - he must have pissed his pants when Bellamy confronted him - correctly calling him useless and a prick - to give him the chance to show everyone how hard he is and what a disciplinarian he is. Souness thinks he is "tough" but he isn't he's an idiot, peddling good players everywhere he goes only ensures one thing, everybody loses. The fans, the club and himself. You NEVER NEVER sell your best players, unless it is for genuine footballing reasons or the player in question has to be sold for financial or personal/family reasons. In Newcastle Uniteds case, the issue of financial reasons should never be an issue full stop. The only other reason is ambition, and that means the club has failed. During the time when Keegan was manager, no one wanted to leave Newcastle because the club was ambitious and showed itself to be ambitious, we should be like this all the time. Which leaves only footballing or personal/family reasons. Bellamy and Robert have been sold for one reason only, and it isn't either of those. You are totally ignoring the point I made that Souness is responsible for decreasing his own amount of cash by underselling players he has peddled. If he sold well he would have added to his transfer kitty. He has also been backed so far with 3 big players. Now that's not too bad. Taking into account the sale of Woodgate etc there is probably more, but it's his own fault that there isn't more money again available to him. Simple fact is, Emre, Parker and Boumsong should have been added to the team with the good players kept, like Bellamy and Robert and we would be far stronger for it. Can't see why you blame Shepherd. Why do people keep saying Shepherd tells Souness who to buy and sell in the transfer market ? It's so unlikely it defies belief. You implied he bought them at the same time. He bought Robert 2 years before Viana. And Robert proved to be good value, he and Bellamy propelled the team forward massively, and we got champions league football. It was a big fee, but if the player performs the fee is largely irrelevant to a degree, the context of the fee would look better if we had actually got a proper fee for his sale rather than make such a loss, but as explained earlier, there is only one man to blame for that. If you are going to lose quality players, you make sure you have replacements through the door first. Only an idiot would do otherwise, and yes Souness is an idiot. Especially for the reasons he has stupidly kicked Bellamy out, he has had a whole season to look for a replacement. No excuses, it's his fault and his alone. Emre has promise, but he is another central midfield player so we are no further forward to replacing Bellamy and Robert than we were 2 months ago.

Totally agree, distasteful and thats putting it mildly

Tragic thing is, there are people out there who will believe such shite
