David Icke - Son of God

SHOLA! SHOLA! SHOLA! SHOLA! -Aye, we get the idea, Shola to the power of 10,000

Whatever goes with my flame retardant onesie. The last thing I want to do is get too close to that transfer window they've set alight.

An interesting line... http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=694389 Didn't MON quite famously force out not one but two of exec directors at Villa too?

The insinuation it will have been cut because she said she's a Sunderland fan. I'm sure that's what swung in and not the myriad of other much more likely reasons that probably contributed to her talking head not being used. It's not unusual for journalist to film much more than they need then cut it down to fit the ever changing schedule. Absolute fucking spenks

Shola.

Amazing Colo's managed to sneak in considering he neither plays in London or for one of the Sky 4. Shows how good he's been this season.

Even Paully wouldn't be seen dead in those.

It wasn't a bad miss. He was one on one with Mignolet and had to quickly get a shot off which he put straight at him.

Much better in a midfield three than a midfield four.

Palacios, wasn't it. The way he stopped the ball dead with one touch was ridiculous. Absolutely phenomenal skill.

Absolutely immense.

Depends how good his advisor is/how much cash they'll offer him. He's on a fair whack here now and I can't see him being a regular first teamer at either Chelsea or City.

So we're getting the Botafago kit with shitty spikes coming off the stripes and a white panel, collar and cuffs rather than a black. Sorted.

We know the club will let him go if a huge offer comes in, but aren't their suggestions he's very shy and doesn't want to move to a much bigger city?

God knows what they're playing at with this one. http://www.newkits.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/NewcastleHalves.jpg I'd say third kit, but it isn't different enough to justify it.

Newcastle 4 Arsenal 4 Newcastle 5 Sunderland 1 Man U 1; Man City 6 Man U 8; Arsenal 2 aren't classic ? They're games, not seasons. The main problem is the sheer amount of bilge outside the top 7 or 8. The quality is just awful in midtable.

It was the same last year. Second season syndrome apparently.

The Premier League has been mediocre for ages now. I struggle to think of the last classic season.

Aren't we one of their blue chip clients? That usually means there's a degree of uniqueness about our kits and we don't just get the off the shelf tat other lower profile sides do. The alleged kits seem to match the basic collar design/'keeper kit design that Puma have since launched which suggest to me that's what we're getting.

Our kits are almost certain to be the ones in the photos that were doing the rounds a few months ago, just with Virgin as the sponsor.

They've been practically forcing them and unsuspecting Chinese men and women at the university all season.

Some of the performances under Roeder were fucking dirge. I remember a 1-0 defeat at Reading where he finally got to play Owen (and the returning Shola), having harped on about the unavailability of the pair of them since the opening weeks of the season, and we looked probably worse than when they weren't playing. Can remember Steven Taylor's shot into Row Z from 35 yards and a blatantly offside Owen goal being all we created in 90 minutes. Was totally fed up by then. I remember the Sky cameras panning onto our dugout to see Roeder and Terry Mac slumped right down in their seats, arms crossed looking complete devoid of ideas. A pretty telling image

Huntington gave one of the worst NUFC performances i can remember in that match. woefully out of his depth. pisses me off that we should've been out of sight in the first leg but we got sloppy and lazy. a better, more authoritative manager would not have let that happen. It brutally signalled the end of that lad's career at the top level. He should've never had one in the first place. Some of the backlines we put out around this period are genuinely frightening to look at. By rights we should've got relegated with the likes of Huntington, Ramage, Babayaro, Bramble, Moore and Edgar pushing for starts.

I still have a small soft spot for Roeder. He's was diabolical once given the job full time (his stint as caretaker was brilliant though, simply because it vindicated everyone who had been abusing Souness) but I was so used to us being shit by that stage I was more or less immune to watching us plod through the season to our then regular bottom half finish. I suppose the fact he talked about himself in the third person (among other mental traits), shook the hand of a pitch invading Mackem during the 4-1 and didn't slag the club off upon his departure marks him out as one of the more tolerable managers we have had in recent times. I certainly won't get into an argument with those that hate him though, because I can understand why. As for Carr he was utter shite. He'd had one stonking season at Spurs a few years earlier and his career had been on the wane ever since. My two main memories of him are backing off Timothy Atouba against Spurs, letting him push further and further into our half eventually allowing him to score and, along with Parker, swearing at the supporters during the defeat to Sheffield United. To be fair to Carr he apologised for that. Scotty Lionheart didn't though.

I hope he signs, just because we're going to need a bit of depth if we get into Europe. He shouldn't be first choice though.
