Byfield is on £5k a week at Millwall. He's clearly an idiot for cheating on Jamelia too.
First goal wins today, I think.
Some thoughts from the rovers website:
"Samba - 9 - My MOTM, despite what I just said about unnoticeable defenders being good, he was extremely noticeable and in a good way!"
"I've just logged on to vote Samba for MOM. Not suprised he's got 100% of the vote so far."
"As for rating your players - I thought Samba was awesome, particularly in the first half and at both ends of the pitch. He was just winning everything."
"Samba was superb yet again today and I have to agree with something nicko said midweek, I don't think there's a better centre back in the Premiership. He even left Andy Johnson standing for pace at one point in the first half for goodness sake! I've said it several times before but I hope we get his contractual situation absolutely nailed down such that it will take a Rio Ferdinand like £30m to prise him away should "the big 4" come sniffing round which they surely will."
I'm down at the club shop to get his name on my new shirt tomorrow. He's fooking immense. We've had some bargain signings in recent years - Friedel, Tugay, Nelsen - but this boy is the best of the lot without a shadow of a doubt,
I will re-evaluate him at some point Da_man, but he had a fucking terrible debut (think it was his debut anyway) against us in January. He came off the bench and just looked like Mokoena, slow, clumsy and off the pace. I only even remember his performance because of how shit it was.
Will be interested to see how well he's supposidley settled in for you lot now.
Didn't Newcastle sign him for £17m? What sort of club signs a player then puts a clause in saying he can leave for £6m less?Striker Michael Owen insists he is not eyeing a move away from Newcastle.
The 27-year-old England international admitted to a release clause in his contract, believed to be about £11m, but has no intention of exercising it.
He told the News of the World: "There was a release clause that no one was supposed to be privy to, but if people go and mention that I can't help it.
"Since I've been at Newcastle, people have been thinking I'll leave. A lot think there's an agenda - there's not."
Owen has struggled for fitness ever since he joined the Magpies from Real Madrid in August 2005 and he has made just 15 appearances.
And he is now competing for a starting berth alongside manager Sam Allardyce's summer recruits Mark Viduka and Alan Smith, as well as Obafemi Martins and Shola Ameobi.
606: DEBATE
Interesting he came out with all this after his clause expired is it not?
PB
However, he has scored seven goals in that time and is hoping to have a long run in the team after coming back from a thigh injury in the 0-0 draw against Aston Villa.
He added: "I've only been at Newcastle two years and the speculation's been unbelievable.
"At the end of every season, people were asking 'Is Michael Owen going to stay or not?'
"I live up there and and my kids have been to school up there for two years. There is this perception that I divide my life between living in the north west and Newcastle.
"Well, I'm up there Monday through until Saturday. If we get a Sunday off, I'll sometimes fly out after the game and spend the day with my parents and family.
"Then I'll fly back up on Monday and spend the rest of the week there. Even my team-mates say 'Are you up here today?' and I say 'Yes, like I am every day'."
Newcastle.
Normally I'd be angry at such a joke answer, but I suppose it actually does answer the question in this case.
Yep, it does. Newcastle are the only side stupid enough to do something like that. Although we probably would as well.
Well, we were utter shite yesterday.
I really think you are in trouble based on what I've seen so far. Four points isn't a terrible tally but the performances have been dire. Keane's not a miracle worker, with the squad you've got on current performances you're really going to struggle.
Nah, I think Sunderland will win enough games at home to be safe. Chopra looks like he'll score a decent amount of goals. They do need to play Miller in the middle of midfield sooner rather than later.
I've already commented on your stupidity in another thread.
We're playing three of the top 5 teams in our first 5 games. How about you wait a little later into the season before you start voicing your wrong predictions.
Gordon is easily going to be your player of the year.
Northampton 1 Yeovil 2.
Somebody call the police, we fucking robbed them. 1 all at half time, and there was only one side in it during the second half (and it wasn't Yeovil!).
Then in the third minute of stoppage time Lloyd Owusu manages to stop being a fucking useless waste of space and scores. Two wins out of three in the league now, and we're now up and running for the season. I'd still settle for finishing 20th though - anybody who reckons we'll it the heights of last seasons overachievement needs their head seeing to.
And my other side took their points tally to MINUS SIX. Fucking nicely done boys. Pissing this tinpot league.
Fergie on FA Cup winners getting Champions League:
"I just don't agree with it because you can win the FA Cup playing nobody," the Manchester United chief told the Sunday Mirror.
"The only two teams Chelsea beat to win the cup last season were Blackburn and ourselves, while a few years ago we played Millwall in the final. With all due respect to Millwall, that didn't warrant a place in the Champions League.
"I think the idea is totally ridiculous."
I concur.
It is bollocks, wouldn't make any difference whatsoever.
Here's a fucking crazy idea.... how about we just have the champions play in the champions league? In a knockout competition, thus eliminating lots of pointless league matches that no one cares about? And we could have all the other teams that finish high up in the league play in a knock out tournament called the UEFA cup, which would actually be good cause there'd be some decent sides in it.
Fucking ridiculous notion, obviously, but it'd better than the predictable BULLSHIT everyone swallows season after fucking season.
How depressing that the sport of football was a lot more entertaining, interesting and unpredictable 'when I was a lad'. Money's fucking gay.
Oh yeah and Ferguson can still fuck right off. aaaaargh one of the BIG FOUR might not make the chamoions league?!?!?W!".wm PANIC
The current "big four" have the won the FA Cup for the last 10 years.
I've said it here before loads, but if football is to become more competitive, the Champions League has to go back to only the champions qualifying. Then no one can budget for being in the competition year after year. Right now, the top 4 can and do. Their wage bills are enormous.
But if that happened all the top sides would chuck their toys out of the pram. AC Milan instigated this because they went crap for a while in the mid-90s and they were shocked that European football might actually continue without them being in it.
I completely agree. Everyone knows the solutions, but there is no chance whatsoever of it being initiated. Pure ridiculous Catch 22.
I concur with the above two learned gentlemen. The Champions League has completely destroyed the Premier League.
I'm going to be thereEx-Nottingham Forest Captain John McGovern will be the guest speaker at a Sportsman's Dinner at Abingdon Town FC on Thursday 6th September. John won league titles with Derby County and Nottingham Forest during the 70s, plus 2 League Cups and 2 European Cups with Forest. He will be bringing along his European Cup medals and will reveal what it was like to play during the Cloughie era.
The evening will be hosted by ex-Premiership referee Dermot Gallagher
Holy fuck, Solskjaer has retired.
Wha????
Absolute legend and I love him to bits
says who?
Sky Sports News does.
Ok Hlebsfall.
Thanks
Sky Sports News.
I wonder if there is a player who has picked up as much money as he has compared to minutes spent on a football pitch?
12's a bit young to retire
Michael Owen at Newcastle
Holy fuck, Solskjaer has retired.
I'd have thought that most football fans would have liked Solskjaer. There was something quite inoffensive about him and he was obviously very good. Shame he's gone but really it's amazing that he lasted this long with all the injuries he's had.
Holy fuck, Solskjaer has retired.
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...690166,00.html
A great professional and clearly a Unite legend for 19999 alone let alone the years as the most consistent Supersub in the country.
Who was it he came on with 12 minutes to go against, and he went and scored 4?
Nah, quite clearly Winston Bogarde's time at Chelsea is the all time winner of Cash paid to minutes actually played.Michael Owen at Newcastle
'old' Gunnar scored 130 goals and won the champins league. The later of which fucking deserves him earning £50,000 a week for the next 20 years to be honest.

He's a buddist. He'll be back in human form then for another european final winner*
*no stated facts may not be true.
Ole was probably one of the best finishers around, and was extremely unlucky he got bogged down by injuries after probably his best season in 02/03. Scored the most important goal ever in the history of football as well.
Sad to see him retire like this and not on his own terms but we'll probably give him a proper send-off and a testimonial. I read he's getting his badges for coaching as well, he'll probably make an excellent coach. He'll probably join the Sunderland staff.
Fingers crossed.
Notts Forest
There was also the 4th Round against Liverpool in 99, what a magician.
Nottm Forest.
Ole.
Brilliant finisher and a very good footballer. It's a testament to how good he was that he probably should have been finished a couple of years ago yet managed to come back and get a few goals last season when he was half-fit.
Alex Ferguson should have been planning without him for some time so now it looks even worse that Manchester United only have one leading striker.
I love Ole.
Wouldn't be at all suprised to see United go for Anelka or someone like Defoe now.
Yeah, the press seem to be touting Anelka for a move to United.
If we don't get a striker now we're looking to be fucked really. Unless we play Roma style without a forward. But I don't see that working.
A month ago we had too many strikers, fucking hell. I hear Adriano is unhappy at Inter, we can pay him in pies and donuts.
I do not understand why there is not a bid slapped in for Eidur Gudjohnson. He would be perfect and is readily available. I am sure wages would not be such an issue if he was moving to a top side.
Well if we are going to see sense and get another striker in, we'd better hurry the fuck up and do it
There's plenty of strikers going at the minute. They could have had Yakubu, for example. If he can do so well for a mid-table side, just think how well he could potentially do at a top club.
Defoe
Kenny Miller's been made available for a transfer.
He was a filthy cheat.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBjy4jO-Dd4
In all fairness, I did quite like him.
Apart from that.
Is Ole going to get a testimonial?
slightly off topic but anyhows
seeing as though your a newcastle fan and all
and this is not at all a slaging off of newcastle fans as a whole
but im quite disgusted by the treatment mido got the other day
what are your feelings on the subject?
I think that he would still request high wages to leave Barca, but I dont see why someone doesnt step up and pay them. I'd love to see him back here again.
Very happy Maloney got the winner for us at the weekend. He's such a tidy little player and barely ever seems to lose the ball. I just hope he gets over this homesickness and we stave off the Celtic rumours, he definitely deserves a chance over Petrov at the minute. Him, Reo-Coker, Barry and Young in midfield could be glorious over the next month or so.
Talking of Young, he was absolutely electric on Saturday. The money we paid for hmi is now looking well spent. Dazzling pace and skill and a final ball to match. A Villa legend in the making, guaranteed.
Ray Jones died on Friday and it's now been reported that Puerta of Sevilla has died too. He had a heart attack on the pitch when Sevilla were playing Getafe, and it's being reported now that he has died in hospital. Nothing official yet so hopefully it's not true, but it's incredibly sad if it's true - he's 22 years old.
He collapsed on the pitch during the game then once again when back in the dressing room, its on Sky Sports News and has been reported by the Spanish media. Their match tonight with Athens has been suspended.
Might put a bet on the match going to SUDDEN DEATH IN EXTRA TIME.
Poor sod.
Too early Rosk. 22 year old been dead for an hour.
Fucks sake.
Andy, if you have a cry everytime someone on here makes a comment like that, you'll end up being a very sad little boy. It was merely a joke at a dead man's expense.
I'm 22 as well, hope I don't collapse and die anytime soon. Puerta was undoubtedly in better shape than I'm in and I expect he lead a much healthier lifestyle. Makes you think..
He probably had some abnormal heart defect like Kanu, which wasn't picked up on.
A lad round here collapsed and died during a Sunday league game because of a heart condition he didn't know he had.
His family had an initiative backed by a charity where lads our sort of age could go and get a test done. My mum wanted me to go for one because I had a heart murmur when I was a baby. I couldn't be arsed going so didn't bother.
It's pretty frightening really. It's not like it's a one time thing either.
If I had one I'd rather not know though.
That was pretty good to be honest.
Except that he'd lose his bet since there is no more sudden death in extra-time.
Kieron Dyer's injured again.
Stretchered off after 12 minutes.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer club.
Two broken bones in his foot apparently.
If he was an animal (which he is), he would've been put down a long time ago.
Foot or leg? Cause they're saying "below the knee" on SSN.
ahaha Sunderland are SHIT
They said foot on the commentary but who knows.
ahahhahahah Rosk has 50 quid on Sunderland
I think Dyer has had his bones replaced with crayons.
£50 on a mostly second string team is mental, hopefully super Stokesy will turn it round for his money's sake.
Goal for Maloney, YUS! PLEASE STAY SHAUN!
They were only 4/7 or something as well I think, stupidly risky bet just to make 50% profit.
I'm a little ashamed to have recommended us to The Rosk. Should still turn it around...surely?!
KIERON DYER.
that is all.
One of my mates is at Kenilworth Road now in the away end, season ticket Mackem. He laughed when I told him Luton would win, I think I'll be giving him a ring at full time.
Evens. That's why I backed them too.
Keiron Dyer, fucks sake. It was always going to happen I guess. And they bought him because Faubert is out for 6 months!
Watch Bellamys hamstring ping before full time.
Liverpool are gay.
2-0 Luton
Fully deserved aswell.
GASHGASHGASH
Fucking hell. Sorry Rosk, your money is gone, mine too. At least you dont have to support the bag of shite. Probably what we deserve for taking so many of the Luton home tickets on the last game of the season last year. The Luton fans were pretty pissed off by that from what I've heard.
Quality and fight simply is not good enough yet.
I suppose that's cos he gets his money back in the event of a draw. Not that that'll make much difference...
I've got a 6-fold with l'pool, Birmingham, West Ham, Charlton, Fulham and Wolves. All winning except Fulham and Wolves. I've won fuck all so far this season, come on
Fucking hell, a Leicester player's collapsed in the tunnel at half time at Forest, they're dropping like flies! New terrorist campaign perhaps?
He looks like Richard Reid. The shoe bomber. It's been used before. Every useless Guardian writing cunt can fuck off, and leave the Islamaphobia bullshit out of it.
For posterity. He looks like Richard Reid. Fact.
Anyway...
Clive Clark has collapsed in the dressing room for Leicester. He's on loan from Sunderland. Kick off's been delayed, if indeed it kicks off again.
Black people look like monkeys. Let's make monkey noises and chuck bananas at them. Only the really black ones though.
"Mido is a paedo" is far superior anyway.
The smug cunt.
Clive Clarke, on loan from Sunderland. In the ambulance, conscious, and taking oxygen.
2-0 down and now down to 10 men.
Shitting all over Wrexham then.
Nice.
'Mon the Luton.
Shit, even Harewood's scored.
For fuck's sake Sunderland.
3-0.
Well played Luton. Well played.
So good I posted it twice by mistake.
