Optimistic Nut

I still think we'll see Solano. Was the Sky interview where he was asked about him done before or after the Owen unveiling?

They'll have been gutted watching the interview today then when it was confirmed there was no get-out clause as well.

What's half of free?

I'm surprised Sunderland didn't go in for David Connolly. He's just signed for Wigan for £2m.

AS & Marca seemed spot-on with the whole Luque & Owen affairs, so I think that was probablt true.

Brilliant day, but the highlight had to be when the fans started chanting for "Nobby Solano", and Souness took a couple of steps behind Shepherd so he couldn't see him, before egging the crowd on to sing-up.

If he's going to keep spending like that, he can continue to pull the wool over my eyes as much as he wants.

He said yesterday in an interview with the France squad that he was offered to Newcastle, then Marseille & Monaco but he rejected it.

What if it's Jimbo on the telly but can't take a photo of his telly because he's already on the telly? Then Jimbo's telly won't be able to be pasted on here unless someone else's telly has Jimbo on it, and they can take a photo of their telly instead?

We should rename you Pessimistic Htt.

#Waits until someone says 'When he arrived?'...# 23256[/snapback] Well, if we can't manage to at least equal 5th now, what will it tell you 23365[/snapback] Rightly or wrongly, Souness said judge him when he has his own mark on the squad. Well he's got rid of the one's he wanted to, and we have 8 of his signings (Babayaro, Boumsong, Emre, Parker, Luque, Owen, Shearer & Dyer [who he gave new contracts to]) as regular starters when fully fit. He now has absolutely no excuse whatsoever.

Just said on "Revista de la Liga", that had Newcastle missed out on Owen, we were set to pay 38 million Euros for Fernando Torres from Athletic Madrid!!

Nah, 10 minutes ago.

Would Bernard on a Free be being too greedy?

you know for a fact it'll be 1-1.

Start of the 2002-3 season I can remember Robert & Bellamy playing a reserve match a couple of days before we drew 2-2 at Anfield.

That gobshite's still on the telly.

Yes those.

I can remember there being a make of Spanish sweets called Solano when I was over there.

Sorry Peasepud, couldn't resist.

--------------------------------Owen----------Shearer-------------------------- Luque----------------------Parker--------------Emre-------------------Solano With Bowyer, Jenas, Dyer, N'Zogbia, Milner, Ameobi & Faye in reserve!!! *continues counting chickens*

They've just said, "Villa's valuation of the player". I guess around £1.5-2m what they paid for him.

Been on TalkSport & SSN.

Finished the 2006-7 season in 7th, just missing out on the Champions League spots by 3 points. Used the Malbranque cash to spend £10.25m on Michael Essien.
