Northern Monkey

Erm, no.

White people havent had the word 'monkey' used as a metaphor for their roots for the last few hundred years. Like I say, go to Harlem or Brixton and see if it amuses people. rather just send you to find out tbh That is the point. I simply wouldnt say it tbh. I'll leave that for the knuckle draggers. Again with the abuse. Jebus, mate. Leave it alone. You jumped to a conclusion, for whatever reason/motivation. You were wrong, and that was made clear. Its getting old now, to be honest. Just walk away from it. It's like last nights donner kebab - it stinks, you probably wish you hadn't started it, and any life it has left is not anything a person in their right mind would touch.

No, i think Hargreaves plays deeper. However, it doesn't smack of the most dynamic, exciting midfield, does it?? I still get the impression Carrick was a desperation buy. ......... and a big name signing that chelsea didn't want Which has to be a one-off!! Clearly Roman hadn't heard of him......

Sisoko (sp?) and Alonso work fairly well together. Because like Carrick and Canadian Owen, they are different types of player.

i did. And i have done in the past. The fact that a player is black is irrelevant. The fact that he plays like a monkey is the relevant thing. Anyone still assuming that i was being racist just because the player happens to be black, despite my pointing out clearly that it was the ABILITY i was referring to, is the racist, not i. Or at best, a fucking idiot. Agreed. You are a moody bastard but havent said anything that makes me believe you are a racist Cheeky - albiet MODERATELY accurate - cunt. Anyway, i'm not moody, i'm just on the darker side of pragmatic.

Not that bad of a news to me, he is decent but we can get better, don't believe he is going to Chelsea though.. We can get better by splashing out a few million. I am sure Sam can find some random African for less then 500k who can do a decent job in our defence tbh He could look to the 2nd tier in THIS country and find better than what we just discarded, in fairness.

You're deliberately missing the point, presumably to get me banned. Pathetic, tbh. I think i'll ignore your advice on the choosing my words, ta. But cheers anyway. By the way, Shambles IS a stupid monkey. So is Ameobi. So is Babayaro. And so is Steven "Stupid Fat Slow Monkey" Carr. And Luque is a lazy, overrated Spanish monkey.

£17m is too much for that player, i think. The press were absolutely convinced that he wasn't going to Man Utd not long ago. Just goes to show what a bunch of cretins they are, really.

We're not in Harlem, nor is the players colour an issue. Despite the fact that you are trying to make out that i am a racist - which i very much do not appreciate - you may at some point have something useful to post, so thats something to look forward to. And i can call any player anything i like, regardless of their colour, if it is about their ability and that alone. You clearly have little knowledge, understanding or experience of the various ways racism can manifest. You think calling a black fella a 'big stupid monkey' is a relection of their ability? Amusing way of looking at it. No, i think calling a player a big stupid monkey was accurate as a light-hearted metaphor of his ability. The fact that he is black is irrelevant, and the fact that you keep brining it up is tantamount to trying to get someone banned for racism, imho. Let me type it slowly, so it sinks in: His. Skin. Colour. Is. Irrelevant. He. Is. A. Stupid. Monkey. I work with a fella i call my IT Monkey. He isn't black. I have shouted and heard shouted "Southern Monkey" at cockney opposition fans in the past (i got my username from a heated "debate" in a pub at West Ham). So wind your neck in, in summary.

A club in Europe of any kind, i thought. Although it'd probably have to be a CL team for him to go anyway, i suppose, unless he took a gamble on Spurs or the like.

In reality Everton wouldn't even consider anything below £10m. And the rest. Not that he'd leave Everton for Newcastle. I can't see Bridge going anywhere either. Nor is splashing out £6m for a full back Sam Allardyce's usual style. He'll more likely get a decent but obscure foreign player for cheap. Old habits... Sad but true. Everton have the best central midfield outside of the top 4, by a good way.

As long as everyone has the right to post about how wrong i am, how overly negative i am, and how i would still be negative if [insert pathetic, unrealistic, not-at-all-point-proving load of shite] happens, amd i have no right to reply other than to be called all that again, then everyone is happy, yeah.

People are probably going a bit OTT but Allardyce has proved time and time again that he can get the best out of players who are coming to the end of their careers or who have been struggling for one reason or another. Given how the majority of our team have underperformed its no suprise this subject will be brought up again and again. He also chooses the players he thinks he can get more out of carefully, even to the point of psychological profiling. He's not a magician who can wave his magic clipboard at any old donkey and transform him into a footballer. But he is someone who can get the best out of someone players so its perfectly acceptable that some people might have a little hope that he may get some of our vast number of underperforming players playing a lot better. As Melan said, NM, as usual is being over negative. And again.

Ooh, there's a challenge i'm obligated to rise to. Not, clearly. You are again making judgements of someone you know fuck all about, but you just continue if it makes you feel better. I am not comfortable joining in the hero worship and ridiculous statements, and no doubt i will continue to be accused of being negative - as opposed to honest - for it. Hey ho. You are quite clearly, well to most people at least over negative. It would be a stupid thing to do now but I am confident if we had a poll on the forum asking people to choose one word to describe you "negative" would piss all over "realistic" in the voting. I like how i get a public kicking for putting forward my honest opinion. Because it doesn't match yours, i get character-assassinated, or at least the nearest thing you can get on here. This is nearly as good as when that idiot asked to know where i lived, to come and "sort me out". Happy days.......

Given how the majority of our team have underperformed its no suprise this subject will be brought up again and again. But i'm still in the wrong to point out the near-hysterical hero worship. It's commonly known as optimism. Some people have some for the first time in years. And realists are castigated. Fantastic. In a roundabout way I think you're the one who is being unrealistic, in that you're so incessantly and overly negative. Why must everything to do with the club be negative in your eyes? Some of us are optimistic about things for once, none of us are saying he'll transform the entire squad, but for once a lot of us think we've actually got a future to look forward to. No-one is exaggerating what effect he could have on the club, as it stands no-one knows. But the signs are good, that's all. It's called hope. You've no idea what is positive or negative "in my eyes", other than what i have posted here. You think i am "overly" negative. Well i disagree, but i'm clearly in the wrong, because you obviously have a formal scale of allowed negativity.

Doesn't matter how much campbell has a go at him, you can't polish a big stupid monkey of a turd. You just end up with s**** smeared all over yourself. racist tbh I'm not sure its polite, or indeed allowed, to accuse someone of racism. Oh, and you might note that my username is Northern Monkey - so if i'm black, presumably you're right, and if i;m not, you're going around openly accusing people of a very offensive crime for fuck all reason.

You just don't seem to be able to accept positives so have to throw in a dig or sarcastic comment if others seem to be talking about anything that could potentially be good for Newcastle United. Don't seem to be able to accept perceived positives as fact? Yup, thats one of my problems.

None of the current team have proven that they deserve to be captain, particularly. Butt has done ok, but lets face it, he could go back to his first season form. He's the best bet we have out of the current squad NOW, though, i reckon. Taylor maybe in the longer term, but not for now.

Your signature suggests a lot of bitterness towards our former managers. Are you Sam-bashing because you can't bear to be disappointed by yet another Big Hope? Do you even know what hope means? You don't feel any bitterness towards Souness or Roeder? Good for you, then.
