Hope Rustu made it clear that Emre was distancing himself from that speech.

Then we'll buy someone like Gomis and a backup striker.. Will we?

Did you just make those figures up? What a pointless exercise.

He did a good job, well and effective one on his day, still had a lot of missing days amongst those though. If he was fit every game then i really wouldn't have made the poll, but since he cannot be relied upon, and everyone is happy at our new wages cutting approach from Ashley, then Viduka really is a big target that needs taken out to suit the new streamline self supporting club, and not paying over the odds in wages for has beens and household names. At the end of the day, we can't afford to lose him. Even if we sell him, buy (for example) Gomis, whenever Gomis (or Oba for that matter) takes a knock, we're down to Smith or Carroll. Losing Vids is a non-starter imo.

Viduka's the second highest paid player at the club.

Three people have already voted D. Were these people on holiday for the last two months of the season or what?

B. We need a replacement because he's unreliable with his fitness at the best of times but he's a very dangerous player to have off the bench.

Have I missed something?

I know Cheshire Mag's never liked Harper but he's more than good enough for England imo. Have you seen the competition for a start?

This fella said they were schoolmates back when he was still with the scum. Continued to say it when Bentley was at Norwich and Blackburn, no reason to doubt him now. No reason to doubt Bentley would fly into Manchester Airport? Of course there is, it's a ridiculous fairytale.

Genius.

Is it me or is wrongly editing Wikipedia for a hilarious jape one of the saddest things anyone can do?

Dunno but they play Norwich's celebration music and I hate it. All I can see when I hear it is Dean Ashton rising to head past Shay in about the 98th minute and me kicking fuck out of the seat at Carrow Road.

Not the only one confused by this. I'm just back off holiday and seen the pack today for the first time. I can understand the discounts and single season prices etc but not sure about the discounted price. The offer price from October was £515 for the season with 'free' cup tickets. Except now, those taking up the new deal are being offered the next 3 season below this price (£494 to £515) and even cheaper to pay up front (£444 to £515). IIRC at the time they said that the advance deal would be for a short period and then the prices would revert to those stated at full price (£543). Basically while i'm getting cup tickets, they are still described as being 'free', i've paid £70 over the current offer price. I can take up the forward offer but no mention is made of repayment of the difference. http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=53450.msg1359449#msg1359449

A horrible way to lose but the only way to decide a game that's been level after so long. It's not feasible for finals because of costs but in a hypothetical perfect world, I'd like to go back to replays for finals - semis, quarters is fine, makes it more exciting but winning a cup because of a shootout is not only a shit way to lose but a shit way to win.

Good stuff. Spain are like England/Newcastle, perennial underacheivers despite having all the tools to win. Italy are Liverpool - boring cunts who, even when they're dross, always win stuff, so I'm pleased for Spain.

Jesus Christ.

Not as good as some we signed under the old board mate.
