Phillipe Alberts goal against Man United. Still gives me goosebumps. Bellamy's goal against Feynoord is the only thing that comes close, but that wasnt in the league.

Very sad news. Being a Berwick fan i have seen him play loads of times. He was one of the best players in the division, and after reading other tributes on Pie and Bovril website seems like he was one of the soundest guys you could meet. Alway wanted Berwick to sign him but not to be. Sad loss.

Don't know what defines a Geordie tbh, but he's from Newcastle supporting area whatever. Born in Ashington like me. Don't like him in the slightest.

Did anyone see SSN this morning. I only got a bit of it before I left for work and they were going to interview Ross McCormack from Cardiff about his future. I would take him alongside Beckford. We would still have Carroll as well I would have thought.

More Play-doh geordie when you look at his nose. I think he got that playing for Gillingham in the cup many years ago. Like most centre halves he was more comfortable using his heed than his feet, and tried to clear a ball in his own penalty area that was 6 inches off the ground with his heed and got a good kicking for his trouble. Still, he was a player with a massive heart and he was a huge over achiever considering his abilities. I saw lads nutmeg him, run around and nutmeg him again when he was a kid, but he was very focussed and single minded and always tried to be the best he could be. He'll make sure that there will be no passengers in the mackem squad and they'll more than just survive next season. And all this talk of him being a "plastic geordie" is total bollocks. He's just maximizing his talent, as he's always done, and not trying to upset any club, or set of fans, that might progress his career in the future. He's a very shrewd cookie making the best of what he's got, and that's to be commended. I agree. Think he will do well for the mackems. Bobby Charlton has annoyed me ever since his interview in the Boro away dressing room after they beat us to the title. No idea if it makes him a plastic geordie, but I do think he's a cunt.

No quotes in that article. Something to fill the paper with.

He would be a good Championship player.

That doesnt really matter anyway. The pressure up there is unbelievable, and not only for old firm games. If they drop points in any game the media go into overdrive as there's little else to talk about. Every minute detail is trawled over. Just listen to the Real Radio phone in on Setanta. Its ridiculous. Adams is being a bit arrogant saying that its a 50% chance as well. If you fuck up, teams like Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and Dundee United can easily beat the OF on their day.

Some website claimed he was and showed picture of him close to other men. Couldnt give a shit if he was or wasnt.

They seem to be basing the story on this:

Good article. Although I have to laugh at someone who spends time writing for a fanzine calling message boards the 'home of the lonely'.

Did he not say when he left that the pain of defeat was starting to get stronger than the joy of victory? Im sure he mentioned the look on the Spurs managers face after we howked them 7-1 a few weeks earlier.

This is quality. haha.

When I'm old, I'm going to look old and saggy anyway, so who gives a s***? Exactly. I havent got one yet, but im thinking about getting 'United' done in another style of writting. Something like Arabic or Hebrew. Whichever one looks best.

this is very true. some of the worst stuff ive seen. The Derby and Wigan away debacles not too mention the stuff served up at home. That was my fault. They were the only two away games I went to during his management.

By writing off the loan he's just making the club more attractive for someone to buy. I doubt anyone would be interested in the club if the loan was still to be paid back. Ashley doesnt really have much choice.

Im getting a top and that lettering looks class. Only think is I need us to have a player confirmed for next season.

The fat bastard hasnt learnt from any of his mistakes. He blames everyone else whenever he's interviewed. I would hate to see him back. Unfortunatly i can see only pain ahead. Even if we do end up with a brand new arab buying the club, no doubt we would get the most useless fuckin arab going. If we were to get an American owner, he wouldnt be a Randy Lerner, it would be some fat shit clueless American. The worst American owner going.

Whereas the papers have talked alot of shit, mainly about the fans, they have a worrying habit of at least partly being right when it comes to stories like this.

Terrible timing. All my optimism from last week has gone. Even if it takes a month to sell the club we will be feeding off Championship scraps for players. And I can't belive some people are wanting Shepherd and Keegan back. Shepherd isnt the only person who can manage a football club, and Keegan isnt the only alternative to Shearer. Fuckin hell! Get a grip.

Ive not got one and won't get one. Will only get one when I know I will struggle to get to every game because of demand. I prefere to pick and choose where I sit game to game. I know someone with a season ticket who doesnt go to away games and will apply for me. So at the moment, I don't really have any need for a season ticket.

Good. Usless cunt.

I will be gutted to see him go if he does go. Has been getting better and better this season despite the teams overall form. He shows he cares as well. Im chuffed we will be getting rid of some of our dross, but on the other hand will be gutted his players like Enrique have to leave.

Probably because we never replaced him. Good list though, although I think some of the clubs would be demanding more money than what they say on there. I think we should go for James McCarthy too, assuming he hasnt signed for Celtic yet.
