Apparently he's still injured today so Harper will play for Newcastle against the Spurs.

Regretably it is a trait which has been known to surface when I've got to 'that stage' and the wallet is empty(as it usually is,I'm a student and spend what little I earn on away trips). As I said:

well if your wallet is empty you should stop drinking, how would you feel if someone stole your pint? This is not acceptable behaviour at any time but even more so on an away trip.

Totally agree. I should have stated that what was implied by 'that stage' is that I'm very,very drunk, where all morality has gone out the window and the only thing I'm aware of is that I need more drink. I'll grow out of it...until then keep an eye on them pints

**Green Tribe** · 11/04/2005, 4:58 PM

i thought u were a red bull bloke, beavis? that behaviour could get u a kick in the nuts if someone caught you, not to mention it is very dangerous(spiked drinks?) My friend used to do it sometimes, stupid cow!

What do you all make of this ad campaign??? I think its bang out of order and making a joke of not qualifying for the world cup, should've thought about it a bit longer Shay...

Given linked with a move to Arsenal: http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/spor...s-NZogbia.html

Almunia has just taken over the captaincy for the next three months, no way he'd be dropped mid season. And there's no way a top team would come in for Steven Taylor either.

**drummerboy** · 29/12/2008, 9:50 AM

t a fantastic performance by Shay Given yesterday. He must have made 7 or 8 world class saves in the first half.

**tetsujin1979** · 29/12/2008, 9:57 AM

Linked with Man City today, according to the Indo - http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...n-1587164.html
Gerrard described him as world class after yesterday's game

Times gave him 9/10.

To put Liverpool’s dominance in perspective – in the first half they had almost 70 per cent of the possession – Shay Given, Newcastle’s long-serving, long-suffering goalkeeper, rivalled Gerrard when it came to nominating the man of the match.

Alone among his teammates, the Irishman was free of culpability, making a string of fine saves.

Given performed until the end, repelling a firm header from Lucas Leiva in the 89th minute, and the caution he earned for hoofing the ball away in protest at the award of a corner spoke of the frustration that must have burrowed into his soul.

His actions speak volumes and a new rash of uncertainty is again engulfing the player, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal, while Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have also shown interest.
