Bassong's a disgrace Duff's a disgrace ...and while I'm here Keegan's a disgrace as well. Luckily Dekka and LardAsh are there to keep these leeches honest.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure they spend a lot of time researching every player. Except Xisco though, I think they have him confused with a rapper.

Fatty Fattison!

We saw in 08/09 that he's a confidence player. The way the morale is going he'll be one of the first that we will see the effects on the pitch. It will be amplified by the departure of fellow Spanish speaker Enrique whose pace is the perfect foil for Coloccini's lack. It will then be amplified further by having a rolling roster of players in the left back role, none of whom are any good there - Ferguson, Perch, Tavernier and Raylor. I'm shuddering just thinking about it.

Running the club and its reputation into the ground.

With the caveat that the money would be reinvested into the team. It's a little know fact, but when a player is contracted for 2 more years it means they are obligated to play for another 2 years. Turns down January contract when he has concerns regarding the direction of the club. When his concerns are found to be well warranted and he calls the owners out on it, instead of responding appropriately they offer him up for free because it's easier to do. They've got no reason to be dealing with the board until their contracts need to be reviewed, at which time, time and time again they become disillusioned with the lies and deceit. That was a joke right?

Aha - but it won't matter because your pie shop will be out of business in 5 minutes if it's run anything like Newcastle United. People aren't so blindly loyal about their pies; can't replace the beef with horse offal and expect people to keep queuing up to buy.

The only pertinent and undeniable fact is that the club have transfer listed the player of last season. Make of that what any person with sense would. If you then put that in the context of other movements it's even more condemning. In January the club sold their leading scorer who was contracted to the club for 5 years. In June the club sold their leading scorer and captain who was contracted to the club for 2 years.

Sign a new contract for less money at a club where it's a given that they'll sell the ground from underneath you if they can broker a deal. Feel for Cabaye - what has he gotten himself into? I guess all the Frenchies will just see us a stepping stone to a larger team with ambitions that extend beyond flipping players for profit and an owner and chairman with the actual interests of the team in mind, not a chuckle bunch of miscreants whose prime motivation seems to be making sure everyone knows they're big man on campus.

FYP

Reckon Joey is taking the piss with the impending announcement - either that or it's not related to football.

Dekka is probably the kind of slimy two faced bastard that tells everyone what they want to hear. Then when reality hits and Ashley makes the final call people feel wronged because they've been lead to believe otherwise.

3-2 final score. So with Tiote, Colo and Enrique we would have won by 8.

Vuckic, 2 in 2.

They need the Columbus Crew commentator.

Taylor really has a knack for scoring.

And the bench: R Taylor, Sam Ameobi, Dummett, Vuckic, Krul, Best

Forster, Simpson, Williamson, S Taylor, Tavernier, Gutierrez, Barton, Gosling, Cabaye, Ameobi, Ba

Clearly just another in the long line of players trying to deflect their own failures onto the faultless club; tiresome really.

If he wasn't a fucking knob maybe he wouldn't have underachieved across most of his career.

FFS! Ridiculous. Guess it will mean Smith will be all over it. Gah.

I knew someone would try to put words in my mouth. I never said that, just quoted numbers. No chance of this happening so it's silly to talk about it. you made the comparison mate. you seemed to imply lovenkrands could be compared with bellamy because he scored more goals than him in the championship. i agree fwiw that there's no chance of him signing but i'd love it if we did get him. despite the fact he's injury prone, getting on and has never been a prolific goal scorer, he's still better than any of our current forwards and his pace and energy would transform our style of play. Not at all, was more saying how poor the standard in the championship is.

Only managed 11 goals in 35 Championship matches. Too many people here still attached to his past ability. Lovenkrands scored 16 in 32.

Makes you wonder what they saw in him to begin with. Deportivo at the time were disappointed to lose him. Setting aside the differences in the leagues, assuming there was something about his ability that was desirable to start with you have to ask the question how things went so horribly wrong. What we'd all give for 6m to sign a 40k a week player now...
