Kanji

That cunt Diame get a squad number yet?

Don't you imply our Rafa would say something like that. You've just been shat on by Stifler. You need to sign off for the day

Fucking Sunderland

Yeah don't agree at all. Smith was a far better player than Colback and they are both useless c***s. Smith could own the championship and Colback is a chronic struggler. No comparison.

sounds interesting. Now that I've read a half dozen NUFC books, I want to branch out into stuff like this.

I'm convinced in the games I've seen him play that he's actually a special talent with a poor fitness record who's not been able to display his obvious ability. I hope he stays fit because I'm certain we have a super class player there that has a very similar playing style as Kingsley Coman. Having said the above, he's on a 5 year deal and needs to 1) stay fit 2) make himself a sure starter 3) if we sign a first choice player, force himself into the side. Everyone needs to earn it.

Just spotted this. Jesus. Really? I've had more excitement out of watching planes fly over our house, watching Channel 5 and thinking about death than I have out of Villa for at least five years now. NUFCDoog on to something here

I bet he's still likely on relatively cheap wages.

Thanks Tooj... Maldini is my other footballing hero, may look into seeing anything good about him.

Need to play him consistently and afford him the same time some of the lesser quality players have been given - left wing role should be his unless or Sissoko or Ritchie or played out there or another first choice LW is brought in.

I'll just continue my point that I want to see us play on TV, and I think most of the people out there who want to see us play on TV too near and far would prefer that and I really don't care about the argument leffe is making so I guess I'm just massively selfish. Anyway, Leffe, hope you enjoy watching Spurs week in and week out whenever you want, in full HD and on Demand on NBC and NBC Live Extra oh and Champions League on Fox, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports Go, Fox Sports Soccer On Demand website... I'll just hoy on a few pounds a month for NUFC TV online radio and listen to Mick Lowes and see us here and there and quietly accept that.

Got that Neymar weirdo haircut too

Excellent news.

saw more matches via ESPN3 (online site) than ever in 1 season, was amazing. Nothing personal, Kanj, but I hate this attitude. It's why ESPN loves the Yankees and Red Sox, why we had a Big Four, why Barca and Real rake in spectacular TV deals etc etc. I'd much rather have the money spread out, and see each team shown an equal amount of times, even if it means having to endure Stoke v West Brom every once in a while. Sure, if they just featured Newcastle more, or had Man U on every week in the Premier League, then they'd get better ratings and more viewership. If you want that, then fine. Just don't complain when Man U then have an absolute shitpile of money, and spunk 100M a time on players. I hope that Sky have a similar deal to the old Premiership one, where every team gets shown a reasonable amount of times. Well, as a guy who lives all the way in Orlando FL, I'm speaking purely on a level of I don't get to see us play often in 2016 and I have to pay to listen to us play in 2016. So I really don't give a s*** about the other teams in the division and playing nice to them. The NBC TV Deal gets us every single match for the PL (and therefore access globally to anyone...) but this shit Sky deal doesn't really work globally, for anyone, so only those nearby and able to head to matches get to see us play. Even those in England who may not have the money to attend matches or travel up are made to suffer.

Sky are a bunch of clowns, if they just featured us more they'd get better ratings and more viewership

Pretty much this. If he was foreign with tats he'd have a cult following by now, but he's just another local lad getting dogs abuse from the shoes off, 3-in-1 haircut, Soccer AM bred mongs we have following the club nowadays. It's complete speculation - you might be right Kanji but he's not a premier league player in as long as there's a hole in his arse and relying on the likes of him is folly. As for the nonsense UncleBingo has just spouted, well... Had we gone and to draw or beat Fulham last Friday, I'd have pointed out that since he was back fit and playing for Rafa, we've not lost a match (was an unused sub v Southampton) but i would have maintained, like I have for an eternity - he's probably better suited to be a backup CB or LB and really nothing more than that. He's not good enough with the ball and he'll continue to make us an unbalanced team in attack as long as he's playing.

I still want to replace him, don't get me wrong. I'm happy with him as a purely defensive backup. But if we want to progress as a club we need to upgrade his position or sell him at some point when we have the right reinforcements in place.

We didn't have him fro Leicester, Sunderland, Norwich or Southampton. Convinced that if he played in those matches we'd maybe have snuck another point or two. Leicester's goal came directly off of Colback stupid foul in the channel which led to a free kick that Okazaki overhead goal from a few yards out. We were turd defending out wide versus Norwich too.

Colback, who started that match and Leicester out there.

You ain't thinking too hard then, because we played Jack Colback and Anita out in LB and were torn to shreds on that side.

wtfffff

Had Dummett been fit for maybe 2 more games we'd probably have stayed up last season. Hate him or not, he's a pretty good defender, but we do need to replace him because he's worthless in possession of the ball.

You scared away Jetro! You did mate, by sending him photos of you naked in black makeup and telling him lies that you were Kanji West. I'm not your mate, but that's hilarious.

Finally bought Touching Distance, adding to my collection of Newcastle related books. Looking forward to digging into this one, have read a few Keegan books now and really have learned so much more about the man himself.

Mr Owl would say 3 as well.
