Or is it?

He's still crap, 'tho

oooh, looks like the comedy "ginger Pele" is going to Norwich as well!

before we know it, Spurs will have no laughably bad (if you dont support the slags that is!) players, thats just crazy.....

thank god for Bunjejovic and Tarrico though,.....oh and big Dean Richards...

Kieron Dyer is for sale on Ebay if anyone's interested.

The boos last night were pretty obvious and I can't see him staying at Newcastle much longer. I have to say, although he was excellent at Ipswich, I haven't seen him do much at all since he moved.

I was really annoyed at the booing. For god's sake it's between him and the manager, not him, the manager, the tabloid press and the fans.

It's equally as stupid as when a substantial portion of the crowd booed Viana ON to the field in the last match of last year. That's just plain dumb. I can understand why Sir Bobby nearly walked out of the job the following day.

Awww, poo. Looks like Woodgate the Lost Boy is off to Real Madrid. Alright, so he's injured more often than not, but when he's not, he makes our defence about ten times better. If he goes, I hope we use the cash on an immediate, decent replacement.

Arse. It's 12:20pm on a Saturday, and already my weekend is ruined, thanks to that bunch of under-achieving tosspots that call themselves a football team. Just one season I'd like us to get off to a reasonable start, but it seems that's too much to ask.

He was class today. Dudek wasn't.

I bet Kirkland's playing before long. Luckily for Liverpool, James is Dudek's equal on the clown front.

Yeah. And we had our fair share of James ourselves, remember?

It's always been a Liverpool issue, that. Dodgy goalies. I loved Brucie Wobblylegs, but even he was a bit of a jokey, Barthez-type figure. It'd be nice to get a stone-cold world-class keeper in sometime.

Just been watching an old mate of yours, SB.

Jason McAteer playing for Tranmere against Doncaster Rovers. Cheating git with no talent. Easy to wind up, too

And the good old faithful beat Newcastle 1-0!

Odd interview with Sir Bobby on Sky Sports News. They asked him about Wayne Rooney and the stories linking him with us at 30 million, and he just hesitated, smiled and said "I have no comment to make about Wayne Rooney". Now, while I'm 100% certain that story is pure cobblers, that's unlike any statement I've ever heard him make about a player before. Strange.
