DK, you are getting carried away. We've still got Souness as manager, Owen isn't going to single-handedly transform our team into top 4 contenders. The atmosphere will be great at Fulham to begin with, but to be honest it might go pretty flat if we perform like we did in the second half against ManU. If we want champions league football next year, we have to change managers NOW. Souness is incapable of managing a top 4 side, no matter who we have as players, I am more certain of that than anything else in the world. Also, you seem to be forgetting that our squad is still paper thin, and our defence is far from alright. A few injuries and we are still in the shit mate. 24319[/snapback] He's not getting carried away, he just had a head start on you in the sense that he wasn't manically depressed to begin with. This has allowed him to reach higher on the mood swing-ometer than you.

A live poetry recital. 24298[/snapback] I can just see him there with his lyre speaking in rhymes to the masses.

Thing is though we've got two options: 1. Agree to Villa's demands and have Solano for the season instead of Milner. 2. Don't agree to Villa's demands and have Milner for the season instead of Solano. Solano > Milner IMO.

For sure. 24283[/snapback] Ecshellent.

The first thing Jol needs to teach him is not to hide when his teammates want to pass the ball to him.

Worst analogy ever. 24264[/snapback] I dunno like, that article that... Gaz Pearson Writer, Newcastle-Online ....wrote comparing Shepherd to Mussolini (or something like that) takes some beating.

Good luck to him there. He was never going to be anything but mediocre for us. Maybe they can turn him into the decent player all these coaches seem to think he is.

spot on 24179[/snapback] If this "abnormal influence" is being used to bring top players to the club, I don't have a problem with it. The club used Shearer brilliantly to land Owen, that's all.

A good and, for an outsider particularly, well-observed piece. Without wanting to bring things down too much, I honestly believe we would've gone for Owen ahead of a fictional willing player, who would've cost £14m and been 10% better. 24054[/snapback] Just as well. Fictional players don't score goals.

I predict crushing disappointment as Fulham crash the party.

Fair play to Shearer. Shows he's clearly got some clout when it comes to attracting big names (even though Owen's his mate). Sounds like he might well be playing a part (and having a say?) in the fact that we're after Solano again too.

Another exciting conclusion to your dreary 9-5 existence! Maybe you'll just check back here though before your nightly wank.... Thought so! 23720[/snapback]

Can we let them have Milner on loan and then just recall him a fortnight later?

Unloved. I'm off to watch the telly. Byeeee!

Do you know the answer or are you just being a smart arse still? 23623[/snapback] Still being a smart arse. None of us know, but the point is that he will be signing tomorrow so why does it really matter? 23628[/snapback] It matters because until he signs he isn't our player. I'm asking in case I missed something. 23675[/snapback] Only puberty. 23681[/snapback] You absolute knob. I bet you think Hawksbee and Jacobs are funny don't you. A nice bit o' banter with the lads. Magic. 23689[/snapback] And I quote: I'll put a wink next time to save you taking the huff. 23692[/snapback] And puberty gags make you superior how?! 23699[/snapback] It's not the puberty gags that do it.

Aye and not before time.

I doubt it. He'll no sooner tell them that than he will tell them what his weekly wage is. They've no right to know.

Rusted up special for the occasion.

...dy said it was easy.

County Sheriff

Sounds a bit mental.
