You don't say.... I've honestly never watched Beckford play, he plays in league 1 ffs. I know he's got an impressive scoring record but I couldn't list any of his attributes. I find it hard to believe that the majority of people on here have seen anything other than on the premier scouting tool of the web. The league below us ffs. Wonder when people will realise that we can't go out and buy champions league players? What has your comment got to do with what I said? I'm not implying we're too good for him by any means, I said I don't know anything about him, he could be too good for us for all I know. I was merely pointing out how surprised I am and the apparent depth of knowledge about a player who's played in League 1 for the last two years (don't know what he did before then). Ahh right, apologies then as I read that wrong. I know plenty about him as I've seen him play at least 30 times.

Friday!

Thought you knew him?

Announced tomorrow, 3pm Friday.

Maicon? On the Brazil team ahead of Alves Thanks. It was more a comment about Smith tbf

Will Thomo's mate lose his job if the club gets taken over? Perhaps he's trying to prevent that happening by throwing a spanner in th works?

Maicon?

My partner in crime for all of these years

Were you the daft idiot who said we were signing THE Ronaldo in August 06 and it would announced during as friday press conference? Not that I'm aware of. NUT has run with it a fair bit, it may have been him

Agree with that list completely, but Essien takes 11 for me instead of Gerrard

This must be a world record for most over-rated (in terms of money) transfer? Unless it's less than the £10m quoted by Leeds.

My only internet claim to fame is that I started this whole "press conference, 3pm" thing years ago. It used to be "Friday, 3pm" though

Most subjective thread ever to appear on here?

I was thinking this the other day. I thought that if all the Newcastle fans started chanting that during a minutes silence, I'm pretty certain the WBA fans would join in.

No they fucking don't Seriously how do you come too these conclusions? We can fill a 52,000 seeter stadium while Everton can't even come close to filling a 40,000 seeter stadium but they have a bigger fanbase then us because "you would say they have more fans outside of the region"? Firstly mate that's guess work, secondly its pretty irrelivant. Same thing with Leeds. So you honestly believe we have a bigger fanbase and cachement area than Leeds United too?...i think its time to take off your black and white Blinkers...next you will be saying we are a bigger club than Everton all because SJP holds 52k and Goodison 42k or so..irregardless of the fact we have won jack shit domestically for 55 years a lot of that time spent languishing in the second division..fucking hell it hits home when there are 2 clubs in the same league as Gateshead that have won a major domestic trophy since we last have....wake up we arent a big club in anything other than the size of our stadia You mentioned Leeds before your edit. What are your figures based on? I'd love to see the spreadsheet which shows how many fans each club has.

At least we'll never have to see the ridiculous Martins v Owen threads on here in the future.

Reading this thread, watching the tributes on TV, and seeing all of the articles in newspapers just make me cry. I never even met the man and I feel like I've lost a family member

Talking to fans of Man City, West Ham, Peterborough and Barnsley fans. All are truely gutted about this news. Just goes to show you what an absolute legend Sir Bobby is.

Absolutely devastated by this. At least he's no longer suffering. Jesus, I'm close to tears

If anyone came in with GOOD backing, you could say the same. Many makes the world go round.

What about Wise as manager?

My main reason for thinking it's bollocks is that Parky states that he has heard of him. If Parky thought it was bollocks, I'd believe it. Has Peasepud posted recently?

Means nothing now like. Everyone knew that already didn't they? Yep, althought people kept taking the piss out of me for being "ITK" when I reported it. Same when we went for Malbranque.

I work with an Englishman and he had never heard of Mike Ashley before he bought NUFC Yes, but all foreigners know each other. FACT.
