Thing is, whatever you think of Given, he loves the club, and if he feels the need to speak out, he's letting the fans know that there is something wrong. The current board has a reputation for getting its defence in before the event, ie Milner, or Owen's contract, so by doing it this way, he's making it clear who he thinks are in the wrong on all this.

Well the guy we've probably got lined up plays in a league with minimal crossing, and he's got the handling of a fish. Why do you think we are after this Argie? Because in the summer his club signed a replacement, saying that he was off to Newcastle.

We've got somebody who comes out for crosses and screams at the defence. Steven Taylor?

It is my personal opinion that the recruitment team want, and have always wanted Mariano Andujar at number one, with the money for Given funding some other player. Sell Andujar on when his reputation goes up, making a tidy profit and then promote Krul/Forster/Soderberg/Johnson/Alnwick, before selling him on for the next prospect/cheap Argie. Repeat ad infinitum.

Nice one, change the argument because you're struggling again.

NE5, Mick etc. We do not care. Care we do not. Not care we do.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariano_Gonzalo_And%C3%BAjar This guy was supposed to be joining us in the summer. I wonder...

Shay doesn't particularly like the agents, so he's good in that respect. He's always had his own lawyer who acts on Shay's orders, and he uses a PFA agent when absolutely necessary.

Happy New Year

I only saw this film once in the cinemas, but I'm convinced that it is a tribute to the Hitzfeld campaign.

Both the Quotes of the Year and Quiz of the Year sections on the BBC Sport site are filled with a disproportionate amount of negative NUFC content. Or am I paranoid?

I'd ask him to give a truthful account of the whole KK saga.

To be fair, the accompanying N-O thread that featured other people besides myself and Jonny Hall, and no longer exists would probably have been even funnier to look back at

I'd forgotten about that thread you started on TT, absolute genius Link? http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?showtopic=4691&hl= Better than I remembered Worse than I remembered (in embarassment stakes)

That was meant to be a purely tongue in cheek comment btw before anyone reacts.

Is it coincidence that the person who runs the website, and presumably put that idiotic countdown clock there, is the same person who found it necessary to spend hours of his life hoaxing and disrupting a group of well-meaning Newcastle fans who just happenned to disagree with him?

NUSC has diverged from being a misguided group to becoming a complete joke. They need to boot out whoever made that comment to SSN, and not refund his tenner.

Not a penny.

it's all Taylor and Edgar. Their lack of intelligence has torn our defensive unit apart.

Need we just what, on Alonso

Fuck you 2008.

I would actually try Duff at left back.

I think the last two games were freaks tbh. This is same old same old.

Duff misses again.
