14.00 means 7% and more. Gimme a break. If this was to be concluded tomorrow I would be laying it but not for after a year or so.
Names are JJ, Kieron Dyer, Olivier Bernard (we have heard similar in the past), Brumble and Bellamy. Only Bellamy out of this lot is so important that we could be talking relegation. Dyer and JJ are huge talents and add a lot but NUFC could do enough to avoid rlegation without them. Hard to get relegated with Shearer in the squad and also Shay Given and even Nobby Solano. Let alone Woody and Bowyer (first because they can do something silly anytime and second because Bowyer has prooved he can be part of a relegation team anyway). They also should have the money to buy someone and stay up. Lua Lua can play for Bellamy enough to avoid relegation. Bernard is big for this team too, but the good thing is that for every jackass as the ones that are in question for that case there is a replacement that is at least a professional (a worse player of course). Also, I can se Robert rising if the times call for it. If JJ Okocha (world greatest 'ball-magician') can keep Bolton up, then a comparable 'ball-magician' in Robert can keep NUFC up along of course with the Lion of Gosforth, Shay, and the professionals that will play if the stupid lot is barred (Dabizas is a professional, Speed also, Andy Griffin who will be called to play for Bernard also, Clarens Acuna-well I don't even know why he isn't a starter anyway???He has never let us down). If it was only for the likes of Hughes, O'Brien, Griffin,heck even Dabizas, I would say ok, lack of talent, at 14.00 take your chances and if this happens you could be laughing. But with the chance of them being barred anytime soon being no more than 20% (very high too? All of them? Any of them?) and with all the talent left in the team and with the army getting behind the lads (because such a thing, make no mistake, would bring the army back behind the lads,this is no boro) and with the Premiership giving us big hand via refs (this is an absolute rule: When they steal from you and get teams -like Arsenal- 10 points worse to finish 10 points up, they wouldn't want to destroy you. I am very pessimstic about my teams but were never in doubt for CL spot last year because I knew they would help us in the end after having stolen us so badly. Otherwise I would be like suggesting that the refs have killed us last year 'just because the premiership doesn't like us' and this of course makes no sense) and with Viana offered -no other choice- a place in the middle where he likes to play (is not a winger, only a wanker) to proove he has a place in Euro 2004 Portugal and and and... I just don't see value on grabbing the 14.00.

Of course, I am far from objective here. But relegation would be too much.
