No I wouldn't, because if you remember I never claimed that Souness had the mental capacity to make any kind of judgement, especially on the Bellamy matter.

£50 million isn't unlimited, but it's a lot closer to it than anyone with more brain in their head than lard would have given him. Giving Graeme Souness that much money isn't being a good chairman and backing your manager, it's being taken for a complete and utter mug.

He's got some abandoned shack in Gibralter he apparently "operates from" for tax purposes, and he's a "worldwide club publicity agent" or some such nonsense, which I presume means leaving a few business cards around seedy bankok clubs. That's about the limit of what he brings to the club AFAIK.

While backed on it 100% by the Fat One, don't forget

That's because he plays football like an octopus falling out of a tree.

"OW MAN TITUS, I TOLD YOU TO WARN ME WHERE YOU WERE ALMOST THERE!"

It was considerably worse than the holocaust and I can only apologise - we should go back to friendly banter about rape like those jolly smoggies at St James (I'd forgotten that was them!)

Did you laugh your heads off, or are they both still attached?

When I was half asleep and Five Live came on as my alarm this morning they listed the clubs that had made it through to the next round and I'm sure they mentioned Porthsmouth. Maybe it was a premonition. Or maybe they said Port Vale.

When I was last over in the post-apocalyptic wastes of Teeside "Stand up if your shag your kids" was sung when we were sitting down and the Boro fans had started a half arsed chorus of "Stand up if you hate Geordies". BTW, I don't like this "Small town in Yorkshire" chant to be honest, a small town in Cleveland is much more insulting - I'd imagine they'd love to be part of Yorkshire.

Remember banning the toon fans from wearing dust masks "In case people thought there was a terrorist attack" :roll: Maybe that's why they called it off a few seasons ago, in case people thought those 5 snowflakes were anthrax.

Will people have the bollocks to turn up in numbers at Official Mong Day for the unveiling and chant Shepherd Out rather than "There's only one David Beckham, we love you Freddy mwah mwah" Edit: A chant of "Do we look like fucking mugs" to the tune of "You're not singing any more" might get the point across better. If anyone's nabbed by the media on the exciting prospect of a Beckham signing look straight into the camera and say "Posh, if you're watching, it's just like you've heard up here. It's freezing cold, we all own whippets and work down pit, there's no clothes shops and we don't even have electricity. You're better off in Spain, pet."

I can imagine Fred signing Johnny Wilkinson for that.

Me, yesterday at 12:13:35 PM

Most of the chants are probably obscured by the cheerleaders, drowned out by the goal-point music or deflected by the foam hands tbh.

A Freddy Out banner will just result in the sack for Roeder and spending our defender fund on Beckham. It would have to be a big banner saying "Freddy out, and no appointing Shearer and signing Beckham won't cut it"

Nowhere near as disgusting as the sickening accusation that we're your local derby. You should be ashamed.

Very muted reaction to the appointment, looking back. http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php/topic,19310.0.html Of course there were a few people who'd been hitting the prozac.

That would be some manager!

Please don't punctuate the site like this either !!!

I wouldn't dress up in anything even remotely resembling a sandwich if I was going to confront Fat Fred.

And you're how much further up the table with your team of europe contenders?

Don't believe the might Brutal Deluxe got through with a pathetic 31 points. Still, in cup games, sometimes you've got to win ugly. At the end of the day, that's the price on the ticket. Much better showing this week, 57 points with supersubs Scotty Parker and Ian Pearce yet to step up in replacement for malingerers Ronaldo and Ashley Cole, who have both been fined a weeks wages by the BDX incumbent for their no-show this game week.

Think we're going on the Wednewsday now just to cover all bases (wed-sat rather than thurs-sun)

The official site is now warning that the tie may be moved forwards http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~910242,00.html
