Did you see Luque's volley in Shearer's testimonial though? OMG WTF INSTANT LEG-END!??!?111!!

He's being offered on loan to all the Prem clubs supposedly. I'd definitely take him on loan with an option to buy. 140175[/snapback] Man City have first option on him on loan though. 140183[/snapback] Ah right, so we're not gonna be getting him then.

Why does this list have to fit on a CD anyway? Have you got no ipod, you gyppo?

I can't see us getting any major signings this season, we simply can't afford it after a series of disastrous transfers, from which we are unlikely to recoup much money. Of course the board aren't going to admit that ever, and certainly not while STs are up for renewal. I fear Roeder may be a fall guy in all this - he has an almost impossible job, and frankly hasn't shown he is equipped to do it. 140179[/snapback] Harsh! He's only had the job a fortnight man! Although I do think the "waiting til after the World Cup" talk is code for "We're absolutely brassic."

You don't like him?? But he's a scouser! The thing that bothers me about Owen is that it constantly feels like we're some bloke that's going out with a lass that's clearly too good for them. You're just waiting for him to realise this and dump us. I think we need a proper season to see how many games we'll get out of him though - bit harsh to judge him from this season. He's a better player than anyone we can afford to bring in, that's for sure, although if we're going to get so few games out of him, then obviously we'd be better off with a lesser, but fitter player. Lad at work is saying that Wigan have had bids accepted for Huth and Andy Johnson. Two players that we'll probably miss the boat on......

Be interesting if they bid the alleged £12million to trigger the release clause. 140120[/snapback] How much did we pay for him again? Is this another master stroke by Shepherd? FFS, sell him and spend the money on someone that can be arsed to play for us. 140156[/snapback] He did break his foot tbf, misery-guts.

If you don't want to do anything touristy, try getting a part-time job.

You've always slated Allardyce and the style of play though when he's been linked with the Toon job 140117[/snapback] Aye, but I saw an interview with Gary Speed re ProZone. It basically tracks everything on the pitch, distance you run, passes you complete, everything. Anyway, Speed was saying Allardyce would point out that he wasn't doing something/was doing something wrong, and if Speed challenged him on it, he would use ProZone to prove it to him, and to work on a remedy. Sounds like a pretty effective tool. So there!

Aguilera tbh.

Hoooooof! Hooooof! Did anyone see Allardyce's England team in the paper on Sunday? He wouldn't play Owen or Rooney and would play Crouch up front by himself. On second thoughts, McClaren isn't such a bad option after all. 140115[/snapback] There was something in the Mag about how Allardyce had picked Amdy Faye in his team of the week in some paper, saying that he'd been instrumental in our change of fortunes. Not sure if it was a pisstake as I was skim-reading, but Jesus definitely wept in case it was true.

Roeder looking to install ProZone at NUFC, I see. Very positive move - Newcastle enter the 21st century with coaching techniques. It's something that Allardyce looks to use to good effect at Bolton.

Arsenal interested apparently. He'll be off like a shot if they come in for him - GOING....GOING....FACT!

I saw Bob Geldof in Houston. He was having lunch in the same restaurant I was in. What a scruff he is! Had to explain to the waitress why he was famous (she had had a call from her boss saying someone important was coming in. She mistakenly assumed it was Geldof and not me).

"Proper" chairman tbh.

Nah. Manic depression means that you're in a good mood some of the time 140095[/snapback] This must just be depression then. Waaaaaaah!

First day back at work after holiday, and I would kill to be on jury duty. Surely this is what manic depression feels like.

If Liverpool want him and are prepared to splash the cash, we've got no chance. I don't see this one coming off tbh. The talk of waiting til after the World Cup sounds to me like we need to offload first which puts us at a disadvantage for getting anyone really.

The sooner the great man gets back in football, the better for him and the game. I envy Crystal Palace and their fans. Trophies await them.

Cooking tips from Leazes Mag. Has this place gone completely Brokeback in my absence?

Nobody need put me cos I'm just back off holiday. Saved you all posting the same thing there.

Leazes hom.

If Freddy dressed up in WWF spandex and recorded a message where he growled and snarled and threatened to "crush Barnwell's skull", LM would find some way of excusing it tbh.
