Don't really need him, would hope this is sell to buy rather than sell to recoup what we've spent but it seems unlikely. But then would Ashley allow us to splash cash without being absolutely sure we could sell him and for how much? Also, isn't announcing that we want rid of him kind of showing our hand and lowering the likely fee?

As much as I'd love them to crash and burn, I just can't see it happening. There'll always be some rich 'fans' or people who see it s an opportunity to own such a big name that will bail them out, plus the Premier League will bend over backwards for them.

Thing that worries me at the moment is this attitude that it's perverse for teams outside the top four to have any good players. Stupid Craig Bellamy has gone to become a hero at his local club when he's good enough to come off the bench for Man City every now and again or could be a bit player in Spurs Champions League efforts, every day Rodallega spends at Wigan he's wasting his life, if Schwarzer stays put when it's possible he might be an improvement over what Arsenal currently have between the sticks it's almost like Fulham are cheating against the teams they have around them. If he comes good or even looks like he has serious potential to come good it won't be too long until the footballing world almost demands that he should be in the squad of a better club so they can see him in action for the TV favourites in the Sky 3D Mega Monday Special.

Think he actually said "Effing hell"? Can really imagine him saying that actually "Which one is Simon Bird? You're a divvy."

Seeing as we probably won't get it for another 50 years, do people really want to host the word cup during a period when we're absolutely shit and there's little prospect of us getting any better between now and then?

Barton must have only just missed out on that list on alphabetical order as well.

Over this now, not checking the thread in OCD mode any more and just want it to be put to bed. Might feel a tinge of disappointment if he goes to another English club and if we don't manage to get someone else.

To be fair, no-one really has a clue if the extra S should be there or not http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7426717.stm If the word naturally ends in an S...you just have apostrophe with no following S. The club have it correctly written at the ground. Not sure why all the supposed champions of grammar struggle with it (BBC & Papers). Because, as with many things in the English language, it's not as cut and dried as you'd like to believe - even if we weren't talking about a proper noun which doesn't have to necessarily follow standard conventions anyway. St James's Park in London is officially named with an extra S, and official records of places around the area of the ground which the ground may have been named after are written the same way.

Was at their place once and took the piss saying they stayed at home and watched it on the telly. They said it was because it was a Sunday and everyone was at church.

No one likes him, No one likes him, No one likes him, We don't care, He's wor Joey, Joey Barton, He's wor Joey And he's a Mag

Speaking of wankers writing about Andy Carroll http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1303682/MARTIN-SAMUEL-Andy-Carroll-chance-blew-Old-Trafford.html

The lad was born in 1989, he hardly spent his formative years down t' pit.

He got the ball and scored three garrolls as well.

Main thing I'm worried about is him staying out of prision and not being sold to the first team who fancies a decent punt on him.

Going to a match with you must be a barrel of laughs like, must be like sitting next to Mr Logic from Viz

He's a white Didier Drogba, but ten years younger.

I know, come on, at least put some effort into it. Poocastle, there, that took about 5 seconds to come up with. As for Randy Lerner, more like Frigid... Teacher... Twatface.

Reading the first few pages of their match thread I'm surprised many of them are talking about being happy to get a point. However.. Re: MATCH THREAD: Newcastle United vs Aston Villa by BobMarley1945-81 on Sun Aug 22, 2010 1:09 pm That team is delightful. We have the 3 points in the bag!! Re: MATCH THREAD: Newcastle United vs Aston Villa by nath_villan on Sun Aug 22, 2010 1:16 pm Prediction - 2-1 to the villa. that newcastle team is the team that went down to the championship - in fact, it's worse lol Re: MATCH THREAD: Newcastle United vs Aston Villa by BobMarley1945-81 on Sun Aug 22, 2010 10:13 am Stan against Barton is gonna be interesting, Stan is turning into a sly old dog and could wind this prat up and get him sent off. 3-0 I'm going for, can't see them scoring to be honest and we will come out of the blocks firing to keep the toon army silenced, 2-0 half-time. Re: MATCH THREAD: Newcastle United vs Aston Villa by andgash on Sun Aug 22, 2010 10:59 am A point will do but really i want us to go and beat them. Don't like Newcastle or their fat arrogant fans!

To quote vietnam veterans "You don't know cos you weren't there, man." Standing there at the end of the game with 40 year old blokes grinning and squeeling like they'd just won the league at you, pointing at the bedsheets they'd spent all night painting, of course you're going to give some back when the tables are turned. Compalining about people acting on irrational emotion, good grief, What the fuck is football about? Do someone people on here stand and clap when the opponents score? When we got the fifth were they going "Oh, come on now, we've got the three points, ease off the poor lads a bit. Look, some of them are leaving, excuse, me! Sir! Please stay until the end, you might get one back! OK, if you must go, you'll find Central Station down at the end of Westgate Road, thanks for coming."

Don't forget, this puts our goal difference nicely back in the positive too, which could end up being worth an extra point at the end of the season - could be the difference between Champions League and Europa

What was going on with the dick in the green who was getting a load of shit from the leazes and then seemed to get grabbed by coppers after the 5th went in?

Have to say, that team out there today was abysmal - if they don't get a decent manager they're going to be bottom half this season and fuck knows where the season after

Started upfront for me, bargain at 5.0.

Need to keep a hold of this lad like. Villa were awful, but he was getting everything in the air.
