Has Dalglish had the same haircut for 50 years?

Cost =/= Value. His value to us is immeasurable.

Thing is it's not exactly an isolated incident. Had it just been the first time then I suppose you could put it down to fan exuberance but it happens every fucking time we play down there. Regular as clockwork some mongs will run on. The FA need to get hold of this and do something concrete to stop it. Fine them £200k for every fan that sets foot over the barriers, £500k for getting onto the pitch itself and a match without home fans for every idiot who goes anywhere near a Newcastle player.

The internet is serious business.

He's got you on ignore. I'm sure he's not the only one.

Just like Blackburn sold Bentley and Duff, like Sunderland will sell Henderson, Everton Pinnear, Man U and Ronaldo etc. etc. It doesn't make it right, but he'll be doing what every other football chairman has done and continues to do. I know. I'd rather we kept him and built a team around him but I know that's not happening either. We've got the nucleus of a good first XI and I want to see that developed with a bit of investment in players but I know Carroll is a diamond and will go on to bigger and better things.

The only reason Ashley would knock £30m back this summer is if he thought he could get £40m for him the following summer. He'll be sold eventually and we all know it.

Although it'll feel like it, losing tomorrow won't be the end of the world if it happens. We're mid-table with 28 points in the middle of January and a few wins away from securing survival and, I for one, would have accepted that in August. The bigger picture is still ok should we lose. Compare that with Villa who would be well and truly in the shit if they lose at Brum tomorrow. 6 points in the last 2 games have eased the pressure and we should go there and give it a go.

That's the key. Carroll can say what he wants but if the club accept a bid for him then he'll have very little choice in the matter. Still think he'll be hawked around this summer.

Pretty galling to think that even when we know they're light in the middle of the park Pardew is STILL seriously considering playing Smith in there. Can't for the life of me understand why he can't just move Barton inside one and put a pacey (if a little limited) winger on the right. Hoping Pardew gets it right but if Smith plays then we're up against it.

Mackem brother-in-law reckons Malbranque might get a start on the wing with Richardson and Henderson in the middle.

As poor as Shola is, the mackems won't want him playing tomorrow. He's scored against them a few times and he will be up for it. Hopefully.

Exactly. Smith setting foot on the park should be the absolute last resort. He'll get booked within 15 mins would be my bet of the day.

Only one candidate for the mascot. Little arsehole.

Given the lack of options in midfield I'd start with Ameobi and Best up front. They'll put themselves about in their own way and would need to be watched. Let's have a fucking go at them and see what happens. Pump the balls in to them and pick up the scraps.

Guthrie made one mistake which lead to a goal and he clearly kicked the ground which could happen to any player at any time. It could but Guthrie has been dreadful every time I've seen him this season. The games have passed him by and he's looked really poor. Rather throw Gosling in there tbh. That's how much faith I have in Guthrie. I have even less faith in Smith.

I'd rather have cancer as aids.

Going there without Tiote and Carroll makes it tough. They're good at home and they've beaten better teams than us this season at their gaff. I reckon we'll be relying on set-pieces to notch and can't see us keeping them out. Prove me wrong lads. 2-0.

Bothroyd's fucking shit. Don't think Carroll will go this window, probably next. Isn't football wank sometimes?

Aye, lets see..probably warming the bench at Birmingham. It'll be interesting to see where he ends up after his contract ends. If he's pricing himself out a of a move now his wage demands are only going to go north once he knows the new club won't have to fork out a transfer fee in the summer. The fucker will end up at Wigan if he's not careful.

WITH HIS COCK WHILE LISTENING TO IT ON THE RADIO, THE FUCKING SHIT SHITHOUSE.

Keep it tight for the first 20 mins and we've got a canny chance of taking something from the game. Concede early and we're fucked tbh.

Him being fit is another body in front of Smith in the CM queue. Whether he plays on Sunday or not, that's got to be a good thing.

If he wants to be somewhere else then it's fair enough. Let's see where he ends up. Not exactly the end of the world but would have been a good addition to the squad at the price he's going for.
