Striker swoop ruled out →
Olympiakos have blasted reports suggesting they are locked in talks with Newcastle striker Michael Owen over a summer switch.
Freddy Shepherd back by the start of next week?
As so beautifully put by a member of Toontastic…
Frying Pan —-> Fire —-> Frying Pan
Although things can’t really get much worse, the thought of Shepherd gurning his way onto SSN promising that we’ll be “pleasantly surprised” is a bit depressing.
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye...
Good riddance Michael. You have until the end of today to pack your bags and f*ck off.
So it's one day before the renewal deadline...
…have you renewed?
Both of us from Shite Seats have, but many are using a bit of brinkmanship and holding out for the new owners, with the concern at the back of the mind that renewing whilst Ashley is in charge will see him pocketing the cash and not reinvesting it into the club.
Time ticks along and the players are back in training, with the chuckle brothers of Calderwood and Hughton...
It gets no better...
