Dire - A Crying Shame
Recent reports that our much hyped No.
8 was "close to tears" after our 2-1 win over Southampton due
to being on the receiving end of abuse from an alleged hand
full of United fans Saturday evening, will have further alienated
him from the masses and I for one have no sympathy whatsoever
and if anything, the article in the Chronicle further emphasizes
why his presence at the club is universally regarded as an insult
to those of us who pay his over-inflated wages.
The story, no doubt engineered to make the 'poor lad' look like
the 'victim' in all this, has back-fired and spectacularly.
It has stoked up feelings that lay dormant, but never ever out
of mind amongst genuine Toon supporters who were, prior to the
reports, prepared to live and let live. Supporters who do not
want him anywhere near a Black & White shirt but were nonetheless
willing to accept his presence in one for the good of the team/club.

Transfer
Talk: Toon Double Deal?
According to today's Chronicle
Newcastle are lining up a £10m double swoop for Portsmouth pair,
Nigerian international striker Yakubu and Senegalese
midfielder Amdy Faye who emerged as a shock
transfer target last night although no quotes from the club
nor the player suggest he is indeed a genuine target.
Alan Oliver reporting on the story claims: "While there is
still quite a lot of talking to do, there is a feeling at St.
James' Park that both could be United players by the time the
transfer window closes a week on Monday."
Remember this is the same journalist that reported Brett Emerton
would be a United player by the end of the week - in July 2003,
and that Wayne Rooney preffered Tyneside to Manchester...
In other news various papers are reporting that we'll up our
bid for Distin to £7m and Sammy Kuffour doesn't want to leave
Bayern Munich until the Summer. Whether there is any substance
in any of the recent rumours or not, it does seem likely that
Souness will add at least another new face to his squad. Watch
