There probably is. But all the stuff in the press is conjecture masquerading as fact IMO. How the fuck could they know what's on a contract which is yet to even be signed?

If you pin it people are less likely to see it, you 'tard. I scroll straight past all the stuff that's pinned. Unpin it, hermer.

La la can't hear yoooo.

HTT, Freddie's a better business man than you could ever hope to be. 23531[/snapback] True. But he's corrupt as fuck, which I think was the point being made. Self-made millionaire though, so you can't really argue with that. 23535[/snapback] Getting in way of a good honest wind-up. Shocking. 23544[/snapback] Sorry mate. And Calimag, you have to read all of my posts in your head in Tyson's voice for the next week to earn an autograph.

23486[/snapback] Even funnier if you read it in a Brummie accent.

I've had some ribena and you're a cockend. 23528[/snapback] You are an internet hardman..... 23534[/snapback] That's me.

I don't think there's anyone that thinks that this is all of a sudden the end of all of our problems. The people I have a problem with are the ones that have suggested that today's events are contributing to them.

No I won't be there. On the press conference tomorrow though - you can guarantee there'll be a raft of "So Michael, how does it feel to be at a club you didn't want to sign for?" type questions by bitter arseholes in the Southern press gutted because they've had to get up early to get the train to Newcastle to cover the biggest transfer story of the summer. Hope Owen's got a decent answer prepared to fuck them off with.

Nee chance. Books for bairns.

Appallingly unprofessional stuff from Gold there to point to another Premiership club and suggest that the manager might be about to get sacked. What a tit.

22978[/snapback] Brown Cortina with a tan roof is more mancy's style.

I fully expect Michael Owen to be a Liverpool player by the end of the week.

What's this talk about "luring Owen"? Its not like they failed to reach an agreement with the player - he'd walk back to them even if they paid him in sand. They will not match our bid for Owen and that's that. Load of utter bollocks. Amazing how the press can put out this shite without being held at all accountable. 22961[/snapback] Yes but what if all the public uproar caused the board to re-enter negotiations with Real? 22968[/snapback] I don't think it matters when there's such a gap between our offer and the one Liverpool have made. There's no way they'll bridge that gap.

22960[/snapback] I've got a vision of the two scousers off Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells, one giving the other a bunk up the wall to try and catch a glimpse of Owen.

Really? How surprising. 22931[/snapback] Nothing will please that lad, I swear.

I reckon Liverpool (the club, not the fans) really thought that Owen wouldn't join us, and that if they bided their time Real would cave and accept their offer to get him off their books. I bet they're kicking themselves now.

Ask him has he heard of a young lad by the name of Steven Gerrard, at all? 22904[/snapback] Aye, and ask him whether they thought of issuing death threats to Owen's family to try and convince him to sign. Like they did when Gerrard was going to leave.

so why do all the reports say he has only 'agreed to sign' ? 22871[/snapback] I think you might be taking the meaning of that too literally. I'd be very surprised if we've made this announcement with nothing in writing. I might be wrong like. 22879[/snapback] Be typical NUFC though wouldn't it! 22881[/snapback] Real Madrid President is quoted as saying he is already our player. I think it's all sorted just subject to medical. 22888[/snapback] well if that is the case you know he'll get injured next wednesday dont you sorry 22892[/snapback] Aye, broken leg v N. Ireland.

Class. Sounds like a right bitter knobend. Hope he isn't a good mate of yours.

For us to have made an announcement I would assume he's already signed the contract with a "pending a medical" line in it.

To be fair there's a few on there more than willing to accept that we've yet again shown a lot of ambition and left them gutted. The thread entitled "Yet again" is a canny read. There's just as many bitter as owt though.

One of the mackems at work has just spent 5 minutes trying to lecture me on why this will make no difference to us. Unfortunately I didn't hear any of it cos I was holding a print off of the official press release from the NUFC site in his face going "Kiss him. Go on, I'll let you kiss him if you want. Kiss him." He was getting redder and redder by the second.
