Just in case everyone missed the joke, they didn't have HD in those days you know, arf arf.

Shows how little the Sun knows about Newcastle, thinking that a three hour meal for Freddy is "lunch" and not "snack".

I liked the round one with the magpie that's on the retro tops they're flogging at the moment. The grey 'smilie' badge with NUF and then the "C" upside down at the bottom was shite mind.

The thing I most hope we get out of Big Sam is someone with the bollocks and willpower to come in and have a good look at the club from top to bottom, at the training, the coaching, the medical team, the reserves, the academy, the facilities, what the players have for breakfast and, where applicable, say "Freddy, this bit here is utter fucking shite, scrap it and start again."

Biggy biggy biggy, can't you see Sometime your jowls just hypnotise me, And I just love your sheepskin coat And your fat brown envelope...

Superbia in Paella?

I reckon out crest is top banana. But even if you think very few crests/badges are good, some of them are nowhere near as bad as others http://www.footballcrests.com/SwindonTCrest1.gif

Ronaldinho The Honey Monster, man

Quick one, seeing as we're in a quiz thread, and someone's probably posted it before anyway: Who's the only player to score for Newcastle and save a pen for Man United?

Most active he's looked is when he had that period of running down the wing acting like he was desperately trying to get the rest of the squad to join him in a rendition of YMCA.

It was good to see Martins in black and white. He started his career in black and white as well.

Spurs or Blackburn? Quite like that blue though, tbh Supposedly 3rd kit. Someone suggested a chant of "Are you Blackburn in disguise" when they wore it. Bit of a shit disguise like, if I was the Blackburn squad and wanted to be in disguise I certainly wouldn't pick half-white half-blue footy strips to walk around in.

Martin O'Neill is an average manager? That puts him considerably above the last two fellas Freddy has appointed then, who were both considerably below average.

"if it had been the other way round, we'd all be up in arms" Yeah, I'm close to tears that a mackem set fire to last years kids top, it's almost like he shagged me mam

If Allerdyce tried to play Arsenal style football with the bunch of cloggers he had at Bolton he'd have been battling the mackems for their premier league record.

Sorry, considering he's been banned by his own club for chinning his team mates and slagging off the management and players, is a right nasty piece of work and been pretty crap this season anyway you'd be looking at a serious bargain basement price, not £5.5m.

Link Look at the pic they've used of him

Really hope we sign him, the very mention of his name sends my mate into a rage after he crassly over celebrated Sidwell's two goals in the pub before realising at 90 minutes he'd transferred him out of his fantasy team the night before. That and I rate the lad from what I've seen, definitely worth a shot on a free.

Yep, got this through the wires at work too that it's "understood" he's been appointed. Looks like it's done.

I would be delighted with Hughes, very satisfied with Allardyce, and 6th-9th is light years from where we are now... What do you want, for us to win the league next season, with Hiddink leading us to a string of 5-0 victories? that sounds acceptable ... and for my other two wishes I want a sackful of money that never runs out, and the power to control time Careful, this shit always goes tits up. I've seen it on Are You Afraid Of The Dark.

OK, so in spite of him doing everything he can to avoid saying it in so many words, HTL believes that Freddy should go (either that or he's hinting at option C). Glad we've cleared that up - you're right I'm thick and needed it spelled out to me. Just found it odd you were arguing tooth and nail with some people saying exactly the same thing as you on the matter, that's all.

Just so you're not being misrepresented HTL, it wasn't "review his own position" I think the reason people are banging on about it at this moment (after a woeful finish to the season and Roeder resigning/jumping before being pushed) is because they want you to say one of three things in order to make sense of this statement and at the moment I don't think you've actually said any of them: A) Roeder was a good appointment B) Freddy should go. C) I didn't really mean it when I said that if Roeder turns out to not be a good appointment that Freddy should go.

Is Freddy going to say that he HAS to get this appointment right, or has he learned his lesson after last saying that last time?
