Am I the only person on this board who likes Carling?

More to the point though, I'm pleased for the bloke, always liked him, did a good job at Fulham. Wouldn't have him here mind.

Delighted for him. Every season, I wish for Fulham to go down because they're such a pathetic mickey mouse non-entity outfit - they played Chelsea in the League Cup 16,000 turn up and 10,000 of them are Chelsea - utterly pathetic club. Lee Clark had it right when he said Chris Coleman should be manager of the season every season for what he did with Fulham, yet they sacked him??!? What do they want? It was a disgrace and Coleman is a good lad in my view, the way it happened was shocking and topped off a shite week for him after revelations that his wife had been bugging his car because she thought he was humping somecunt else. Anyway today he's been given a really good opportunity, and has been appointed manager of Real Sociedad. They're not Barca or Madrid, but it's still a well respected job, they were in the CL not so long ago, and maybe it will herald the beginning of English coaches trying their luck abroad and obviously gaining more knowledge of systems, players and the game. He's got some cracking games to luck forward to, Nou Camp, Berabeu, Mestaella, the two Basque derbies with Athletic, he deserves this. Fuck Fulham hope yous fuck off to the Conference. Good luck Chris, canny bloke, but you don't look Welsh. IF he gets them promoted. They were relegated last season..

I'm a bit concerned that the money hasn't came out of my bank for my season ticket yet, was just wondering if anyone is in the same boat or knows how long it normally takes the Box Office to process the applications? I had put a covering letter in with my application requesting to change my seat, not sure if that could cause a delay? Cheers people

After Vieiri too now according to SkySports.com. How many strikers do they need?!

Is that true? "W0ZZUP SHEERA!!1 F4NCY COMIN 2 PLAY 4 B0LT3N NEXT SEAS0N?!!11! ITS GUN BE MINT!! OMG11!LOL!!11"

Happy Birthday bud!

Even when first and second (and third) pick up injuries? Then is he still good enough as 4th choice, when circumstances mean we're relying on him for goals? Care to name a poorer 4th choice in the top 4, seeing as that's where we aim to be? i'd say he's on par with the likes of alan smith, aliadiere, baptista, kalou, robbie fowler etc Fuck off i don't see many of that lot outscoring shola by many. do you? shola was scoring goals at a decent rate before his op, carrying an injury and playing in a shit side. he's not the best player in the world but i'd be as happy with him coming off the bench as any of the others listed above. I agree with you in the respect that he is nowhere enar as bad as alot of people make him out to be, and I'm quite happy having him as a backup striker. But I'd certainly prefer Smith, Baptista (if he could re-produce his form that he showed at Sevilla) and Kalou to Ameobi. Kalou may not have had the best of starts to last season but I felt towards the end started to show that he could mature into a fairly good player. I'll give you Fowler and Aliadiere though, one's past it and the others just shit

Reckon there's a chance they'd take Dyer off our hands?

Not sure I'd fancy that, seems too quiet on the pitch for me.

That's what I was thinking. Never thought I'd say this but I'd be tempted to give it to Butt, or possibly Solano IF he is a regular next season.

That's fucking disgusting

Allardyce to mimic Bolton methods Sam Allardyce has revealed that he will use Bolton as the template in his bid to bring success to Tyneside. Allardyce was renowned for innovative thinking at Bolton, using scientific techniques to keep players fit. And having enabled Gary Speed and Ivan Campo to play well into their thirties, Allardyce will waste no time in installing his methods at Newcastle. "To grow the backroom staff is going to be important in maintaining success," Allardyce told the Newcastle Ryder. Allardyce believes that attention to detail will be crucial in re-establishing Newcastle as a genuine Premiership force. "I don't know how the current United players live their lives now, but I'm sure they live very professionally," he said. "But there are one or two things that we think are unique in what we developed over the past seven or eight years that have been extremely successfully for the Bolton players, no matter how young or old they are. "The Gary Speeds of this world are testament to that - he's still playing a high level of Premiership football at 37. "Some of the younger players like Kevin Nolan and Nicky Hunt have played at England Under-21 level. "Then, of course, there are some of the foreign players we've brought in over the years where people have suggested they're mercenaries and only came for the big bucks and to take it easy. "But the likes of Youri Djorkaeff, Fernando Hierro, Ivan Campo, El-Hadji Diouf and Nicolas Anelka have produced magnificent results. "If I can get things in place - working with the players I've already got here at Newcastle - then it's only going to help them get better."

He scored 19 last season, 14 in the league. Not what I'd call shite tbh

Can't believe you's all watch Big Brother. It's f*cking shite man

Owen yes, but is Dyer really one of our better players? Not sure he would be in my starting eleven..

What he said.

I've sat near the front (think it was 2 rows back) and it did hamper the view a bit. Saying that, at the time I was quite a bit younger and it was my first game, so loved being close up to the players

I've never really had any problems with Sky, though I know some who have. Not sure if that's much help like

They could do a lot better tbh.

Ronaldinho surely?
