Newcastle vs. Spurs gloating thread.

[Maquiladora]

Surprising for Newcastle

Id play as well as Chelsea if i were threatened with the gulag.

[Imran Siddiqui]

And Tottenham are where in European competition this season?

[Agathon]

I bet Sporting oust Newcastle and that Viana bastard scores a hat trick. In which case we should revoke his loan and make him walk through the Bigg Market on a Friday night.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Naw, if Sporting beat us, we'll make sure Viana doesn't do it to us . Isn't there a provision that loaned players can't play against the squad that loaned them out?

[Agathon]

No idea. Perhaps.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I assumed that usually that is written in loan deals. Loaned players can't play against the squad that loaned them. It also creates a conflict of interest.

[Agathon]

Not for Viana. He'd want to stuff the toon as badly as possible. Little bastard.

[Maquiladora]

Im sure it definitely applies, like Crespo at AC Milan if they play Chelsea.

Heres the draw for the CL:

Matchday 9 - Tuesday, 05 April

Liverpool 20:45 Juventus
Lyon 20:45 PSV

Matchday 9 - Wednesday, 06 April

Chelsea 20:45 Bayern
Milan 20:45 Internazionale

At least that takes out one of the Italian teams, I was sure they would draw two English clubs together, since Uefa hates us.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Can you blame them, you little hooligans?

[MikeH]

It only applies if you specifically write it into the contract. Chelsea always have for Premier League loanings.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I'm sure Newcastle would as well. What's the point in not writing it in?

[Maquiladora]

Yeah Uefa would love the Liverpool or Chelsea fans to go on a right bender in the away legs, theyre waiting for the slightest thing to ban us from Europe again, despite Turkish fans killing people, Barcelona throwing coins and bottles every game, and Italian's throwing mopeds from the upper tier, theyd never get banned though. Perhaps they havent noticed we dont need barricades as standard in all our stadiums to keep our fans in check but most of Europe does.

[MikeH]

They want to get a highly paid player off their books and their wages paid by someone else, there's only one taker and that's a deal breaker?

They don't think they'll be playing them because it's a foriegn team?

Perhaps, but I'm sure they just have form contracts for loans. They just fill out the amount of time and the costs and everything else is the same for every loan. Don't think they draft a new contract every time a loan comes up. Not sure why Sporting would press to remove that provision unless they were sure they'd play the Magpies in Europe.

[Agathon]

Newcastle will play Sporting. Viana will not play. Sporting asked if he couldd, but Fat Fred said no.
