What a waste of a post. All tongue in cheek. My point stands.

What a waste of a post.

Very sad, my heart goes out to him. Hope the club and everyone involved give him their full support at this difficult time.

I'll always treasure that memory of Martins feinging one way, Tainio falling over and Oba burying it.

Martins has somehow got this rep - "oh he only scores screamers" - he doesn't, he scores plenty of good strikers goals too. I realise this doesn't fit in with the view that he's not good enough for us, a team who just finished in the bottom half of the Premiership.

Great, I wish had a cagoule shirt.

talking of laughing all the way to the bank... I've got a lot of time for Catts but £3.5m? thanks very much Brucey. My best mate's a Boro fan anarl and he can't stand him. He'll be dancing when he hears that.

Hear hear.

Bet they won't get the media backlash like we have at times. I agree with them though, fuck him.

Says who?

Gary Speed was also a winger when we signed him from Everton. Certainly remember him playing alot of games on the left of midfield for them, and iirc did so for us at the start before being switched over by Sir Bobby. Speed never truely was happy playing out on the left wing ever since he left Leeds. He started with us on the Left side, cos basically since Dalglish go rid of our world class winger, we had no one to fill that roll. Speed early days with us got a fair amount of stick from some very fickle fans, but really he was playing out of position, once he moved inside we saw what a quality player he was. Everton fans absolutely hate him though, I have no idea what went on there, they used to have a song for him "Oh Gary, Gary....Gary, Gary, Gary, Gary Shithouse Speed" Love Everton fans they're the best http://www.nufc.com/html/speed-house.html

We were still without Enrique, Cacapa, Smith, Faye and Beye at this point last summer weren't we? I'd like to have had all our signings in before pre season but I'm not going to go slitting my wrists just yet because I think, although we are short of bodies, for the first team we just need a couple of top class players to really spark us off (and you never know, we might have already bought one).

Wouldn't be the first average winger KK has converted to a top class central midfielder. Here's hoping.

"Aye, probably, they all look the same" said Miles.

The word 'linked' is the key. It translates as "I've just made this up."

Well put. I'm always annoyed when people say "Yeah Chelsea have spent loads but so have Man Utd" when Man Utd have earned it by being absolutely fucking brilliant for the past 15 years on account of their incredible manager and the youths they brought through in the 90s, not by being the fashionable choice for Abramovich's toy.

We never went anywhere with Hislop given that his display at Blackburn cost us the title.

Pav played the last four, kept clean sheets at Arsenal, Man Utd, West Ham and at SJP against Forest.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/newcastle/article4368656.ece Keegan quoted as seeking "four quality players" apparently. I've not seen those quotes before anyway.

Shocking that like.

At least Oba and Shola managed to beat some players and have some shots. Smith gets worse every time I see him, he'll have to drop further than League 1 to reach his true level.

SSN doing some shit stirring. "He wouldn't speak to David Craig, can we read anything into that?" Aye David Craig's a cunt.
