  1. rot.....we were massivly in debt when signign owen and martins,debt doesn't matter,it's managing that debt that matters,get a mortgage and find out.on the second part i agree but not so much cos of europe ,more that the prices being bandied about for certain players are ridiculous and when some clubs stay where they are or get relegated those prices will be adjusted.
  2. Ah yes but this is our coaching staff. So you're saying Pearson is over-rated? Couldn't tell you at the moment as I can't say I'm all too familiar with how he operates. Although I can guarantee he's more use than Terry Mac. how d'you guarantee that ?
  3. is everyone forgetting that ferdinand was 30 and was starting to get loads of back trouble when sold.so some might say we had a years transision and bought the best player in the country when we could afor a position that woukld need replacing a year later. ferdinand getting old and picking up muscular injuries,asprilla never consistant,the problem was the injury to shearer at the start of the next season,don't forget asprilla picked up a lengthy injury aswell,like today if martins got injured how much do you want t pay for a back up striker. also i wonder how much the shearer deal actuall cost in the end if we figure in the extra revenue(merchandise,advertising etc) he brought in)
  4. Want to bet? aye i'll bet it's a long medical
  5. no view to permanent sigining which would be a fixed fee if he did brill over here first he would hopefully want to stay secondly the club would probably charge a hell of a lot more than the fixed fee for people like man ure or chelsea so if we want to sign him at the end of the season i would be confident we would get him eh ? is it "no,view to permanent signing" or "no view to permanent signing"
  6. unless they've already got the bet on i think those odds could tumble

    with that thinking we'd never have bought andy cole cos we had kelly and peacock and quinn,we'd never have bought ginola as we had sellars etc The difference between signing Duff and the players you've mentioned is that he isn't better than the left winger we already had, where as Cole and Ginola were a step up in class. after watching duff for chelsea and blackburn there was more reason for seeing him as an improvment than the relativly unknown cole when we already had the best strike partnership and back up in the league and sellars was playing very well before ginola,who most had only heard of for getting the blame for france not qualifying for a major tournament,came in........aye hindsight is a wonderful thing.

  9. Was it the supporters coaches opposite the main stand that had the windows put out? ours was ok, we played footy in victoia park waiting for the pub to open...brains bitter
  10. Beardsley scored when I went, we won 2-0 with Keegan getting the other, it was probably the same game. How did you get down? supporters club coach,left at 8am on my own,my mate hitched,oxford a week later,2 wednesdays off the trot i went straight to my YTS straight off the coach
  11. He got a premiership recored tbh.. I wouldve kept him with us,at least he is better then Ameobi and Rossi.. Any c**t woudl be better than that pile of shite Ameobi. And Rossi? He'll be a good player in a few years. Us getting him when we did, then not using him properly, just highlighted what an idiot Roeder is. Can't agree more.. chopra is not and will never be a prtemiership quality forward. Huh? Neither of them were saying he was. if he's not a prem player why was roeder an idiot for letting him go Because players like Shola are not football players to start with having watched both i would take ameobi over chopra every time.

  14. I've been, I spent the full game with my back against the wall at the back of our end while Welsh tossers spent 90 minutes throwing rocks off peoples heads from a bastard tree camp. When an old bloke complained to the police he was told to stand at the back to avoid them. We came out of the ground to find the buses had windows put out and they were parked in a field opposite the main entrance, we were bricked as we walked to the train station. We were ambushed half way to the station, we stood our ground and the cowards ran away and started throwing bricks again from a distance. Yellow bastards. i went and saw beardsleys first goal for nufc,sat in the seats above their nutters,and nutters they were,climbing up the stand to get at us,then the stewards beat them to crap.talking to the stewards they said they were all from newport and hate cardiff so they can come in and beat them up and the cops encourage it.........lovely place,also cardiff women are the filthiest in the country,canny for a 1 nighter onholiday but not relationship material.

    New Trivia Question.

    i think preston is one and i'm also told that the whole thing is a myth
  17. problem solved..from todays kron someone has to tell him HE has to make the calls
  18. growing up in the 70's was similar,loads of my mates supported leeds,liverpool,one or two even derby then forest.however by the time they hit 15/16 almost all were supporting newcastle cos they wanted to go to games and truth be told the majority didn't really support their pseudo team ,just wanted to be seen to be successful in the eyes of their peers. most of those kids will be nufc fans by the time they are 18.my fave player was kenny dalglish even when he was in hoops but i never supported any of his teams as a player.
  19. We tried to sell Milner to finance transers, we've had our lowest home league gates since the extension was build and we've turned a small profit into a massive loss. so the story goes we tried to sell milner to buy viduka(4mill for milner and 2mill for viduka),evereyone knows a slight upturn will get the extra 2,000 back and from next season we'll get an extra £20mill or so from the new foreign tv rights(i nkow every team will get them but our bankers will be looking at us alone)
  20. The bulk of the debt at the time of those signings was long-term and was being paid for by the thing it was used to build, level 7. We've since spent £15 million with a bit coming back in but our gates are falling so we will have less money coming in, we're far less likely to be given the go-ahead by the banks to spend money we haven't got. In August we had season ticket money rolling in and two domestic cup competitions to bring in extra cash, we also had the possibility of European football. We're out of both domestic cups so will take no more cash from those competitions, we only have small European gates and a relatively small amount coming in per home league game via away supporters and the few tickets that go on general sale, hardly enough to finance major signings. My guess is that we've got nothing to spend. yet we had money to spend on zat knight and huth,and extra guranteed income through the overseas rights....theres money there,maybe not a souness amount but it needs spent right rather than "he's an improvment" we need "he's quality".
  21. just about to mention that,he has gone up in my estimations(still bottom of the world by 10,000placings but he is now catching up to next bottom in the world..john aldridge)..wasn't savage cool about it.saw stuart pearce do it once and dabizas done his knee in once so bad it was in 2 pieces about 3 inches away from where either bit should have been and came back on for 5mins to "run it off" fair do's to savage like
  22. i think there is a bit cash there,bearing in mind the bids we put in for zat knight and huth last august and the future extra monies mean the banks etc will loan us that bit more,however i think there is a reluctance to spend mega in order to slightly improve ,ie brum turn down £8mill from west ham for upson and if he signed for us would it turn us into champs lge contenders. look at this forum for example,when a player comes along supposedly on the cheap,half the forum slags him off as being crap(gooch) and would then slag off the manager and board for buying him then having trouble getting rid. if it means waiting till the summer to attempt to get the right player,i'd rather do that than get the wrong one now for the sake of just getting someone in.
  23. ssn reporting we have pulled out of a deal for that serb mentioned earlier.
  24. Now the target has been ID'd we need to get the deal done asap, no fuking about and letting a London club sneak in with their capital pull bollocks, especially when its this fuking cold up here. is it verified or more newcastle online wishful thinking ?....have the club/roeder/liege said owt yet?
