There's hardly anything more fun in football than sniggering at Liverpool, man. And hey, I know all about lamenting the glory days of the 80s.

And the '90s!

Well, one of 'em.

1-0 to Arsenal at half time, but Newcastle are definitely still in it . . .

We'll get in by winning the CL, mate

Oh, Bellamy in a slanging match with Newcastle again. *yawn*, how often is this going to happen?

What I don't get is, where does he (Bellamy) think it's going to end? It appears as if Shepherd has got a cob on with him now. I can only conclude the Exit door beckons

Is this what he wants??

Mr Emoz??

Don't ask us, we haven't a clue what he's thinking.

I'm behind Souness on this one though. Manager is in charge of the team and you play where he tells you to or hand in a transfer request.

I dunno. Every account I've read suggests that almost everyone who's met Bellamy thinks he's an arse. So I don't know who's desperate enough to sign him. Newcastle doesn't seem like a fun place to be anyway: accounts of Didier Domi being bullied for being religious and Pistone getting a sheep's heart at the club Christmas 'do keep popping up.

Other tidbit: Bellamy apparently described Newcastle as ".. a rubbish club with a rubbish manager" to Boumsong and Babayaro.

And Dio: agreed. I saw CB after the Arsenal game on the TV talking about the incident. He seemed to eb perplexed.

That perpelexed me really. At the end of the day, you do what the boss says. Voice your opion (sensibly), but if you can't persuade him to your view, then tough, IMO.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for West Brom. It's still possible for them to redeem themselves and stay up. I think they've had a lot of bad luck, so I hope they survive.

Me too but for my team Narr-itch. Havent been able to watch many of their matches on TV cos im way too busy. I hope the canaries manage to keep there head above the water. I hope Brom do too - were old buddies after all!

Me too, just because I feel more than a little sorry for Bryan Robson as well. That being said, if they do go down, he's a cracking Div1 (sorry, Championship) manager and I'd put good money on them to bounce right back.

Naaarwich can stay up just because they're probably the closest Prem side to me at the moment...

Hurray! We've signed the mighty Amdy Faye!

As for Bellamy, well, he's always been a whinger. On the other hand, Souness is infamous for falling out with his players. Bellamy is a striker being played as a winger so I can see him being unhappy, but he's done himself no favours at all. I can only see him leaving now, which is a pity because we need his speed alongside any of our other lead-footed strikers.

Thing is though he is a bit wasted out there. Other than the lightning breakout from a corner, he doesn't really get to use his speed out on the wing.

Yeah, that's what I mean. His point is valid, but nobody's going to notice that the way he's going on.
