  1. Well, I quite like the new kit. I will still only buy the home one as they are £40 each!, but yeah - prety nice. Its like one of those paint coats which changes colour depending on which direction you look at it! - one is dark green the other black! There, that settles it.

    What do we reckon for this one then? Personally I can see Mr Hiddink''s Russia taking it to ET - well organised, starting to peak, Holland may have already peaked and as we have seen with Portugal and Croatia who have rested players it is not so easy to get back in to the swing of things.

    Therefore I am going for a draw, and anything can happen in ET/Pens.

    Wow - i am better than Mark Larwenson/Alan Shearer/ Andy Townsend/ Martin O neill :-)

  4. I still want to believe!, but here''s why i''m wavering (make that not-believing)

    1) The TWO signings last TUESDAY (including Bell)

    2) The TWO singings last THURSDAY (he was 85% sure), FRIDAY at the LATEST!

    3) Then his story changes to possibly MONDAY. One day he is bound to get the day right!

    4) The whole Ameobi saga.


  5. Dion''s Lightsaber - ''''I put money on Croatia to win it and have stuck a few quid on Croatia to go through tonight....   But I havent picked a winner yet all tournament so basically I have cursed Croatia and would advise you all to steer well clear as a result.''''

    Thank you for your warning!, as it was 0-0 after 90 mins I would have lost my money! I did not place a bet, so I am quite pleased :-)

  6. I aint gonna knock a signing before hes played a few games for us, but Andy Cole didn''t really show too much for Burnley... We will see. I sincerely hope we get extra striker(s) even if it is him - i wouldn''t want to rely on him. As for the other bloke, maybe GNG was right - just a day late... few apologies may be in order... on the other hand might be good guessing... I don''t know what to think!!... About anything!...

    Surely Roeder isn''t crazy enough to spend 3.5m on a player like Ameobi!

    Here''s the not so great side of the Newcastle No.9

    On the other hand though I would be pleased to see the board are showing abit of ambition for a change but 3.5m is 2.5m too much IMO.

    Mate, 3.5m will be in the long term based on several things. Also, how you expect us to get a premiership player for 1m when players like Martin Paterson are being quoted at 2m I dont know. People seem to forget the rising prices of strikers, every team needs goals - none more than us. Would be an excellent signing.

    [quote]Plenty of managers have rated him good enough to keep in a Premiership set up[/quote]

    Thats the thing I can''t get my head around. Why hasn''t a prem club come forward?

    And considering our finish last season (not entirely Glens fault I know) why would a player apparently worthy of the prem join us? Can it really be purely because of who our manager is?

    [/quote]

    I believe he genuinely has massive respect for Roeder and visa-versa - listening to any time Roeder has commented on him. And he can still play in the premier, and face it we do need a striker (he is a very good one). My only worry is for the money left over to strenghten other positions of need - may we be relying too much on incoming loans? Whatever happens, if we bid anything like 3.5 mill (regardless of how much is add-ons etc), no-one can question the ambition of our board.

    Sign him up!

    p.s. I dont think this is the Thursday signing(s) though ...
