Maybe this is our season to do the same. Win the UEFA Cup and then go down.

I wonder if Shepherd ever stops and thinks, 'Hold on. I've made a right fucking mess of this. Graeme Souness? I must've been mental!'

I think with the sole addition of Given we might've won the league.

I'm fucking not. They've been utterly shit. Almost as bad as us.

Heard it happened when he was out on this piss with Woodgate and they were taking turns smashing pint glasses over each other's head.

Mate, sometimes I think the same about this entire forum minus your whinging contributions.

Christ Almighty. What? You don't think there's anything daft about proclaiming that Krul will become one of the best goalkeepers in football history after playing one match?

It's bad for other female officials that she's fucked up so badly as it potentially casts them all in a dim light. There is a chance that she was subject to positive discrimination which is Newell's principal complaint, I think. FWIW, if you go down to North Shields' Soccerdome and see the women's league there, you'll be surprised at how good some of the lasses are--some easily better than the majority on this board, I reckon--and some of the tackles flying in make me wince.

Christ Almighty.

True. Tbf, though, it wasn't just him.

Maybe you jumped in a bit too soon in your enthusiasm.

It's a great idea. Sadly, I can't see it getting organised.

It used to be that Dyer was considered average because the rest of our squad was really canny good. Now, he's probably one of our best players because the quality has dropped so much in the past few seasons. As such, I hope he plays.

I see. So Fat Fred can use the wonderful local media which always takes the club's side to talk shite and diss supporters whenever he feels like it. Whereas looking for a right of reply for supporters making an honest effort to persuade the club to appoint a decent manager is "dishing the dirt to a scumbag cockney journo". Shows exactly where your priorities lie. but you said the club appointed a decent manager. Souness. You backed him. You wanted the club to back him, sell the "cancer" and build his own team. So what are you moaning at. If the club really took the piss out of fans and gave us a shit team, sold our best players like your real team does, the mackems, then those who think we have a shit board, and you, would correctly have different priorities. Hows the Souness wallpaper ? Have you stripped it down yet I don't know owt about any Souness wallpaper, but my Souness bog-roll's going strong.

Good shout.

Read SBR's and Ferguson's. Both decent reads. Anyone have other recomendations? Can't say I'm too interested in the tabloid bullshit, but anyone who actually talks about football would be good.

Apparently not, as we're even worse now than when I was going. Maybe it's all my fault...

I stopped renewing after Souness' first season. In fact, I'm amazed anyone continued given that indicator of our club's direction. The football was shit, the players were useless, over-hyped rubbish, and the atmosphere was fucking terrible apart from about 3 matches all in the cup.

So Carr is good enough? No, he is not. But he is not as bad as you lot say he is. I would be very happy to have Carr as our back-up RB after Luke Young. Luke Young is piss, tbh.

I don't think he's as shit as some make out, and he's actually had matches where's he's been very good for us--but they've been few and far between. Taylor's at least as good defensively, quicker, and better in the air. Not much of a crosser but much better getting forward and supporting the attack in general.

More chance of me scoring for the Toon if he continues playing like he has so far this season. Sibierski's been a far better purchase for about a tenth the price.

Keep: he's been decent this season--even if his final ball is often lacking, his workrate's been exceptional and his head hasn't dropped once. Don't forget that he's still very young. He's been a damn sight better than Zoggy, an aal.

Just seen the highlights. Looked like Harper made some decent saves throughout the match, but our marking from free-kicks is atrocious. Chuffed that Parker scored, and don't give a fuck that he didn't take a pen. You can only pick your best penalty-takers at the end of the day; maybe he's shit at them.
