A thought that will distract me all day.

http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~917829,00.html You're All Just Fan-Tastic! By Gary Oliver GLENN Roeder heaped praise on the Newcastle United fans who braved an "attrocious evening" to roar the team to a 3-0 Carling Cup victory over Portsmouth. More than 25,000 turned out at St. James' Park and gave their full backing to the Magpies as they ultimately cruised to a convincing win over their Premiership rivals with second-half goals from Giuseppe Rossi and Nolberto Solano (2). And afterwards, Roeder raved about how important it was for United to enjoy such "positive" backing, saying: "To get 25,000 in on an absolutely awful night was tremendous. "They were behind us the whole way. They were very positive and they helped us to go on and win the game in the manner we did. "Not many clubs will attract 25,000 on an evening so attrocious in terms of the weather. Their backing is so special for us and I cannot praise the fans high enough." -------------------------------- No relation i hope? They'll angle anything these days, the weather being bad is used to thank the fans who came, even though it was such a small number, it can now look mooohasive coz of the rain.

I got to see 2.5 goals in 55seconds, well worth the fuking wait.

I make it 23:53, 7mins minus adverts after the prog has finished to show us plus other games. Utter shite, no wonder they lost MOTD.

Fuking disgraceful. Now there actually going to analyze this match! Can you believe it?

Suck dick for a living. Regional TV or so it should be, but the CC highlights so far consist of Manu vs minnows + breakdown for almost half of the 1 hour broadcast. This match was shown fully on SS1 live, so no excuse for the poor Manu fans who by their 10's of millions couldn't see it. Now the remaining 5 matches, plus yesterdays round up fight it out for 25mins minus adverts, fucking great. Not only that, but the regional news announced the fuking score of the Toon match for those who wanted to be surprised. Fuking joke television at its very fuking best. Whats the bet we get goals only?

Youth development, player fitness & man management. Should be an academy director

Really no need, the lad was just saying hello (in his own perverse way)

Exactly. Guaranteed titles and praise at Lyon, or taking the flak for a bad signing at Newcastle...hmmm. he would have given up the guaranteed titles and praise at lyon for our managers job, i know that for a fact, whether he does it for our dof however, i very much doubt Really? You ask him in person or sent an email? bluebigrazz.gif

Best wishes to his wife. But like its been said, if he doesn't want a sympathy vote why is it being mentioned? Utter tripe trying to guilt trip us.

Problem is he wont IMO attract any premiership clubs, so were never gonna get much for him, Signing him up for another year is a waste of 1m-2m(?) in wages that we will never recoupe in a transfer for him. Probably. Best thing is to get a high % of next sale in there. So if he does come good we get some back. £4m back for Boumsong & Bramble when we paid £13.5m is unreal.

I think Lee, Clark, Speed & maybe Barton (i here he's done or doing his badges) would be good additions to the coaching staff, but i'd like proven coaches above them to teach them the ropes. Would be amazing to have them personalities in the acadamy with GR over-seeing things at that level.

Am really not happy with the loss on this guy. £500k? What a bunch of muppets we are. I know i'll get wrong for saying it, but should we not at least resign his deal for another season, boost the price of those wanting?

I spend less than £100, has to be said. Any match i go to these days is usually for free. I've never had a ST, but when i was younger more often than not i was there, fully kitted out, spending willy nilly on any old crap. The Toongate crap stopped my buying shirts, i've never bought one since, but i've had every top though since, only other people have bought it for me. I did buy stuff for the bairn, as i had to, but beyond that i try to spend as little money on the club as possible, i've got so many other causes to put my coin towards, and would rather spend what little money i have in the pub with all my friends knowing FS is seeing as little as possible from me. However, i've made a promise to myself that i will become a ST holder once the little man is old enough to go along, i just hope im funding someone else by then.

Aye but i wanted without transport etc, just what the club would get. well i would say just over £1000 ok ta, will remember on the tally up.

They'll give it a good go, but he's mentally too strong to crumble like Gazza. Poor Gazza was a mess, and is only sorting himself out now. Rooney at 21, is more mature than Gazza at 35. Also he's protected well by club, advisors and most importantly, family. Gazza had none of that.

Aye, can't use any his 6 convertibles.

His wages with Real are reputedly £150k pw and a Spurs director told me there was no way Spurs could even think about being able to afford him. If he does leave Real Beckham will go to USA, the MLS Commissioner has already said that they would waive the salary cap for a player like Beckham to join the MLS. Beckham is only on £70kpw, the rest is made up in media rights. OK, cheers for that. Do you think FFS would be happy to give up any media rights income to Beckham? This talk may be good for the papers at the present time ut I don't believe for a moment that Beckham would move to Newcastle (or move back to the Premiershp for that matter). Beckham needs a move back to the EPL more than we need Beckham as a player. That's if he's bothered about getting back into the England team. His image rights are no concern to me, there not worth half of what they were, and we don't need them. Him signing alone would be enough to fund his move, and payment for his 1st years wages, generating extra interest abroad (mainly Asia) meaning more eyes are watching the club. If you lot didn't have enough RW's i'd expect Beckham to move to Spurs, a capital move could still be on for him, depends what happens at West Ham. (there own takeover)

44mins on a plane to London, less to Beckingham Palace. Al least she'd be back in England where she can get back in the papers.

Where would Newcastle be today if that 'fuking idiot' hadn't taken over? Not in the premiership, that's for certain. Did i say he was an idiot for taking over the club? No. I said he was an idiot for trying to silence the fans. What it has to do with you is beyond me :roll:

Isn't his contract running out? If so we should be able to get him on the cheap - not that I'm advocating that mind. Forgot about that, you'd see him move in Jan for £2m or less then. For £2m and if he's willing to take less than £50k, i'd have him for the next 2 seasons, it would raise our profile in Asia, hopefully making money along the way.

Real would sell Becks for £5m in Jan, especially if he's unhappy, and the manager is benching him. Beckham himself has limited options, GR has vastly over estimated Beck's own position in the Country. None of the top four would want him, and that leaves only us, Spurs, and maybe Villa ready to make the move, and being able to afford it. His wages though i think would be less than Dyers, 32 next B-day? He'd accept £50kpw, as he'd be moving for the football, and not the money. If Becks ever wants to play for England again, he needs to get in the squad before next summer, to do that he needs to return to England where the media, England and the fans can see him on a weekly basis

Better the devil you know, than the devil you don't? Even though i hardly know anything about them, i know too much about Shepherd and i know he is no good for this football club. We need someone to asset strip, make us financially viable and build a solid business foundation, coz if we don't were going to keep sinking. Do you think Belgravia will allow Mr Dyer to sit around, playing one game in a blue moon for £65,000 per week?
