Doesn't beat Jewels Remain Still Cleaming

With us not having a "Daft questions" thread the the football section... What's the deal with the Scottish national side supporters? While England are or were notorious for not being able to go anywhere without wrecking the place, Scotland fans are welcome pretty much anywhere and seem to have a great time wherever they go. How does that fit in with 90% of Scottish football fans following either Rangers or Celtic and wanting to bray the fuck out of each other for the rest of the year? There were a fuckload of Scotland fans in Newcastle yesterday (why, I have no idea), packing a metro platform, and some of them wearing tartan and the odd Celtic top were singing "We'll be coming down the road", which another group joined in with. Then the second group started a chant of "Big Jock Sex Offender" but it never seemed to kick off and the next song they were all singing together again. Is it that the protestants and catholics are able to put aside their differences to support the national team? Or is it that Rangers fans want to be English and Celtic fans want to be Irish and that leaves Kilmarnock and Hibs fans attending the national games? I know it makes a change, but I'm not being facetious for the sake of it, I genuinely don't understand how it works, educate me

The fact he's 29 and NUFC is quickly becoming Logan's Run can't be very good for Colo's will to stay or Ashley's will to keep him.

You had a link to this page instead of to the image in your img tags http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/607/newliverpoolthirdkit111.jpg/ Apparently that shirt is influenced by 80s tracksuits, so it's perfect for scousers.

I'd love Taraabt here for a sensible price. He's got a fantastic touch, a great turn of pace and excellent vision. I might baulk at a figure in the region of £10m though simply because of his attitude and being unproven in the prem. But fucking hell, the lad could land a ball on a 5p at times.

Ooh-aah Demba Ba Say ooh-aah Demba Ba? This lad's name goes with everything!

For people saying its sentimental shit, just give it to anyone, do you not think having a special number set aside is an advantage to the club? Carroll seemed to step up his game when we gave him that responsibility. If Ashley takes a bang to the head and tries to land someone of Sturridge's calibre, do you not think we could help sell it to him by saying he'd be number 9 and pointing out the significance it has to the fans, the players like supermac, shearer milburn he'd join? Rather than just a choice between everton's number 23 shirt or our 31 shirt, because we gave the number 9 to whoever was our starting centre forward when it was squad selection time?

In amongst all the usual comments you get on a Barton article

Surely, surely we can afford at least one player that costs a decent wedge after all the Carroll money and all these freebies?

Maybe I've just been on here too long but this thread man I've got some magic beans to sell to some of you guys if you're interested

Allez the lads, allez the lads Allez the lads, allez! Allez the lads, allez the lads Allez the lads, allez.

Maybe Pardew has a Wenger-like plan to nurture one of them into a striker

CWARR! Huh! Good God y'all What is he right about? Absolutely nothing! Say it again.

Gyan or Bent.

The French are well know for being good strikers

I'm delighted so far and although part of me is sure they will fuck it up, I'm not sure how. Talking about how we might fuck it up by selling players, I don't think there is anyone we could sell now who would really piss me off apart from Tiote and maybe Colo.

Had a lie in till 7 this morning. Seems quite nice compared to ny alarm going of at 5 or 5.30 the last few days

For people who are wondering, when you get to Billy's age this counts as a pop culture reference.

Allez Newcastle!

Someone sign up under the username Mag At Work and make posts like "I've heard we're signing Tevez. Bet you 200 quid it happens" And "Ashley's broke and he's going to stop running the club as a going concern and liquidate it." And "I met Shearer the other day, when I was working on his house and he refused to give me an autograph. he said his one regret was that he didn't sign for Man U and he'd always resented Newcastle. Then he shat in his hand and threw it at the new Bobby Robson sculpture."
