Happy Face

I was singing his praises long before that dossier came out.

I'm just about to jump in the shower before I go out, but later on I plan to write Michael Owen and tell him how much I've appreciated his time at Newcastle even though everyone else hates him

Go on. Then tell us all what you get back.

Perhaps they could offer to cut their wages to Bassong's (championship) level rather than cling on to lucrative contracts that would bankrupt the club if the whole squad were as committed. Can't see it like.

His goal to opportunity ratio in 08/09 was the best in the premiership. It's a bit embarrassing to tout yourself in a dossier, but he is world class. If he's not spouted insincere platitudes about Newcastle being the best city in the world or the fans being the best in the world (we don't even chant his name when he scores) when we clearly weren't his first choice, then it's to his credit.

32 this season and 33 last year. Martins only managed 24 in each. His goal to opportunity ratio being the best in the premiership is also a good factoid.

Apparently their PL attendences were indeedd that bad... Only due to stand closures for redevelopment like.

Holy shit, a 2.5% drop. ...and that's bollocks about man City isn't it? They were getting 24,000 in the first division. Very respectable, but Premier league attendences must have been very low if they went up.

WTF?

What Garbage. The league's not 20 year old yet. Of course it's rare that a team has been relegated twice on the trot then promoted twice on the trot. Half the league is made up of teams that have dropped to the championship and come back though.

Al Jazeera reporting as Fox/CNN/MSNBC refuse to...

Having sad all that...he's not going to Southampton though.

He's retired (for about the 15th time) apparently now. His fluids and flights course was the stuff of legends, along with him buying his wife a sweater with the cauchy riemann relations on! She must have banged his brains out for such an extravegant gift.

Congrations and that. Robin Johnson leaves no student behind

You think he should have predicted getting Xisco and Nacho forced on him and no access whatsoever to the Milner cash...depite assurances...and pre-empted it by quitting with no reason? ,,,and that this would have put a stop to the lies that he's a quitter?

as per usual then. Criticising Keegan = Regime is so brilliant and true. Is there even any point discussion whether Ashley and co are morons? Not really, that's pretty clear. I'm not saying Keegan is ultimately to blame for us going down. He's cunt for doing what he did. That stands on its own regardless of if we'd have survived or gone down. Was Curbishley a cunt doing it to West Ham? Would he be more of a cunt if they'd gone on to do a Newcastle? Or do the owners there getting a replacement in straight away who's still there and looking forward to another year in the PL absolve him of cuntishness?

I like Hattie Jacques Pretentious Cheese Wog. Occasionally have some Ponce on the Heath. ...but if anyone offers me Joss Ackland's spunky backpack I chuck it back in their face and tell them to fuck off. It can destroy the part of your brain known as Shatner's Bassoon.

...and the circumstances are he's never left a club worse off. ...not Like Steve (7 clubs in 10 years) Bruce who still seems to be in demand.

To be fair..Keegan has always walked away from clubs, for whatever reason. Can someone tell me why having NEVER been sacked is supposed to be a bad thing though?

Okay Captain Pedantry, between $22.5m and $45m.... Most people targeted by the music industry had settled for around £1,500 each. This case was the only one of more than 30,000 similar lawsuits.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/technolo...000/8108589.stm 30,000 people settled for $1500? That's $45,000,000 they've raked in. No wonder they're not fussed on finding any imaginative solutions.

Donate £100 to cancer treatment or £100 to Germemi's wages? It's a toughie

First of many leaks from the "data room" . Tomorrows news - Joe Kinnear due £5m for not saying anything derogatory about anyone upstairs.
