no I have not said that and I have never said anything other than this board - since 1992 - is the only board that has shown ambition to be successful in over 50 years. Do you still think we need defenders before forwards ? And do you still think we have a bottomless pit of money ? And do you still expect a "shit" board to continue generating money and being among the top spenders in the country ??/ What a fuckwit you are i never said that, you cretin. if you re-read those threads you posted up the other day in a you'll see just how poor your attempt to put words in my mouth to suit your lame argument is. i actually said that we were foolish to go into the new season with just 6 defenders, for some bizarre reason you don't agree with this. i never denied the fact that we were desperate for strikers, quite the opposite in fact.

...and they've got the next daniel cordone

my west ham mate ripped it out of me on transfer deadline day when they got tevez and we got sibierksi. who's laughing now? we've got le super sib

leazesmag thinks we have improved under shepherd thread over tbh. let's all laugh at leazesmag

while we're on the subject, what the fuck is it with newcastle and injuries? can anyone remember a season in the past ten years or so when we haven't been near the top of the premiership sicknote charts? same old every season tbh.

taylor looked offside to me when the ball was first played into the box. i dunno how hughes can winge about martins' goal mind.

If Luque had grafted anywhere near as much as Sibierski he would have won the fans (and probably the coaching staff) over a a long time ago. that's the problem. he's the proverbial gutless johnny foreigner who only here to pick up his wages.

i can't see the argies hanging around for too long like. to be fair, tevez has looked total crap.

i've got a feeling this decision could bite could come back to haunt them. my west ham mate isn't happy. they haven't got a history of sacking too many managers, and pardew did well with them last year. depends who they end up getting in though. sven is being linked in the london press already.

By all accounts he was fantastic up front on his own against Arse the other week. But I do agree that having someone like Le Sib (or preferably someone a lot better) does help him. He had Dyer supporting him though as an attacking midfielder / 2nd striker. In any case, I don't think he'd benefit from playing upfront on his own too much. Especially in the Premier League. Has he ever really played up front on his own for us? I don't think his upturn in form can be attributed to suddenly playing with someone else. Playing with someone who is actually able to help him I would say. i'm sure martins has played the lone ranger role this season in a 4-3-3/ 4-5-1...whatever you want to call it and has generally looked a bit pap doing so. not his fault, i just think he's more suited to playing with a strike partner....much like micky owen in that respect.

Your definition of legend doesn't match mine. if he keeps banging them in at the rate he's going at, he's going to achive cult status with me. he's ketbaia mark II in the making. all he needs now is a novelty nutcase celebration.

what an extraordinary array of mullets

i think playing alongside sibierski has helped him. he doesn't look much good as a lone ranger up top - far better when he can peel off a target man. how good was le sib's through ball for his first goal. le bald genius is fast becoming a club legend

taylor's goal looked offside to me. nowt wrong with oba's though. and their blurk was the last man so by the letter of the law he had to go...not that i wouldn't be screwing if we'd been on the receiving end of that decision

doesn't surprise me, new owners and all. ian dowie for manager if pardew walks?

i predict that we'll loan him out until his contract has nearly run out then sell him for a nominal fee because no one fancies his wages. another cracking bit of business from fat fred.

i thought hidden was a steaming pile od diddly pap tbh. couldn't see what all the fuss was about. i enjoyed pan's labyrinth, volver and walk the line

for two starts int he premiership for arsenal and a no show in the world cup? hmmmm

*winces* Brave man! This is one to listen to on the wireless, alone in a darkened room tbh. i was in the same seats for the league cup game last year. it was a horrible night, watching shearer on his last legs and having to them bleat their 'that's why we're champions' ditty ALL BASTARD NIGHT

i'm in with the home fans for the chelsea game. could be another painful one.

ecouraging signs on saturday.

a bruised toe ffs. that's marcelino-esque

looked like a premiership goalscorer just not a great team player. you think? he looked poor in front of goal from what i can remember seeing of him. Im sure he had a better than 1in2 record and thats not to be sniffed at playing in that side. really? for west brom? that's pretty good considering he started most games from the bench
