While sitting next to someone who smells so bad it's possible they've caused you to have a heart attack.

And with Boro and Chelsea my best win in quite a while. Cheers.

I never said he didn't. Howey was never the same injury wise from about the time Keegan left.

Rush was brought in to play centre forward in response to Shearer and Asprilla injuries. Barnes and Pearce owe us nowt. It won't just age it was that Beardsleys legs were going. He only played half of Boltons games and wasn't great.

Hope so, its persuaded me.to place the Gas in a small accy tonight.

The dismantling was down to age (Beardsley), recurring injuries (Howey), long-term injury (Shearer), Want away (Ginola). IIRC Albert was picking up regular injuries as well. Didn't Asprilla spend a long time.e.out also ?

Yes he had Howey but he'd started picking up regular injuries that was to dog the rest of his career, Shearer got a long term injury, Ginola had his head turned by Barce and wanted out when he couldn't get that. Beardsley wasn't what he had been. Andersson was a stop gap due to Shearers injury and yes Arsenal built a great team for less.....does that mean every other manager that spent more and won less was rubbish ?

Except maybe to see your mate bigfella ?

Why would you go to Boldon though ?

That was basically the view from my middle school window. Hence my educashun. Edit, Airport, Simonside, Cheviot that is, not SJP.

30million, even then, wasn't a great deal to replace Shearer, Ferdinand, Ginola, Beardsley, Steve Howey.

Simonside in the mid ground also.

Think Norwich, Watford, Burnley. Want Everton, Leeds, Burnley.

JB....Jim Beam ?

Mackematics obviously.

Haven't spoke to anyone who'd be against moving if we stayed in the city centre as much as we all love SJP.

I remember them days as well and I get the bit about becoming a feeder club. I didn't mean it that way, just that your manager has a good relationship with our (current) loan chief and you could take advantage but like I say you already have the pick of our young'uns.

How about the Newcastle college Scotchy Road site and move the College up to one of the to let places on the old S&N site ? Just thinking aloud

I'm older fashioned than you and I just expect my strikers to help the team win.

While Targett is I think we may well look towards more of a ball playing full back, a Trippier of the left, if the players we were linked with is anything to go by. Wouldn't be disappointed with Targett mind you.

Has he been involved in as many wins and points ?

Then the mightier Wigan.

Given that he went to you because of the relationship with Joey Barton, he may not be the last one you get if he's treated well and progresses. Edit....saying that he's the pick of our youngsters.

25points above relegation.......39points to play for

Not our defence.....our defending. The midfield off the ball has been very strong and with the players available I never thought we'd be able to do an effective high press.
