Oh aye. Where do they "claim to be the 'fans voice'", then? i think everyone knows exactly what i meant. OK, so they don't claim to be "the fans voice". Or they do, in a REALLY subtle, cunning way, by not actually doing so. Subliminal messaging, its the new black.

Because he isn't out of contract? Same with Carr etc... Both hopefully in Wave Two out of the door.

Shepherd 'impossible for anyone to takeover Newcastle'

the bank? -
this. it seems they've moved from articles with a bit of their own person opinion/bias in, to articles made purely to put across their own opinions. They're within all rights to do this, but it basically means the website becomes very boring so no doubt they'll lose users. Whether they care, I dont know but its just a little annoying that they can own .com and still pedal such bias. all opinion is about bias.

As always, its nothing but heresay (pure and simple). We haven't a fucking clue who will be coming in, or who SA wants. Lets not forget the "Sidwell nailed on for the toon" and "Roeder will 100% be in charge in August" bollocks. Much as i love the internet's ability to get full of shite written by fools, trying to pretned that we know about who a manager wants when the fella has been inside SJP for about an hour, and is pretty savvy in his dealings, is a joke. Fair enough say who you want and why, but going on like nay of us have some kind of inside line is comedy at best.

nah, Babayaro won't last.

FFS Bramble had his chance, he's shi*e He is better than what we are left with and if Allardyke is as good a man manager/motivator as he is being bigged up to be why shouldn't we think he could have got the best out of him? Should have been given a 12 month contract imo. Wrong. How many times have you actually seen Bramble play? Seen his positioning, lack of pace, inability to concentrate, inability to read the game, stand and ball watch??? jesus. Any ex-pro who's seen us a bit and has been asked, has said that Taylor can be a great player; ask them about Shambles, and they seem to snigger. FFS Bramble had his chance, he's shi*e

That's no reason as none of the players were high earners. The wage situation would be eased at least three times that much by selling Owen(for example but I hope that's not going happen) plus the probable 9 million pounds transfer income... So you'd rather pay Shambles a reported £50k a week, and the rest probably a total of £30-40k a week (thats about £4m a year), JUST FOR BEING TOO POOR TO PLAY? <deep breath> hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha!!!

One of them boys would be better than Moore and Shambles combined, frankly. .com has its uses, but lets not pretend its the voice of NUFC fans, its two lads who some people agree with at any given time, and some don't.

What an absolute, unadulterated pile of gibbon piss. Physically, Titus is one of the worst defenders in the Premiership, and his "potential" is based on one good season about 7 years ago. Utter, utter shite he is, and i for one am very happy to see the best of him. If it was SA - and it could have been, every PL manager has seen Shambles fuck up repeatedly - then well done, you big headed gum chewer, you made a good decision at the first time of asking. If it was FFS - nice one fat bloke, you finally did something compeltely right. All in all, a big fat plus for someone.

None, the were all far, far below what we need.

Agree. My point was the lack of Top Club experience showed in the press conference regards the Michael Owen situation remember this is a guy who has spent his life at a club like Bolton doubts about him not having a enough of a Big Club experience is a perfectly valid one the situations that have happened at this club political and press wise for the last 5 years will be a whole new thing for Sam Allardyce and his managerial skills to deal with. But as i said there were positives in his press conference such us a new structured and constructive back room stuff which will provide a good support for the players to prosper. He's not at a "Big Club", though. Teh hope is that he validates us in showing that we can BECOEM one. "Big Club" in recent history for me is a club thats experienced High finishes in the Premiership 2nd, 2nd (Keegan) 3rd, 4th, 5th (Robson) and played Champions League football and has had World Class players, Alan Shearer greatest premiership goal scorer of all time and one of England's greatest ever centre forwards and Michael Owen one of England's highest ever goal scorers. No club outside the "Big 4" has had that since the Premiership has began we are the 5th biggest club and are a "Big Club" due to our Premiership history. There is no doubt the Newcastle United experience will be a big test for Sam Allardyce because it involves "Big Club" pressures managing "Big Club" players (Michael Owen). Sam Allardyce has proven he can managed a small club pressures to get them 8th, 9th and 6th ect ect whether he can achieve Freddy Shepherd aims of bring back 3rd, 4th and 5th and European football consistently is something Sam Allardyce will have to prove. So we are a "big club" based on a couple of decent seasons over the past 15 years, ONE current (wantaway, only here for the cash/move back to the PL) player and one EX player. Jesus.

hopefully the first wave, and the next we get some cash for, even if its not as much as some would pretend they are worth.

all that hassle for 2 free drinks? fuck that, i've never been THAT skint.

:-[ Unbelievable. Give the bloke a chance. He should of made it clear in the press conference keeping Michael Owen and building a team around him was something important to him comments of "its not all about Michael Owen" and "i will be asking him if he wants to stay or go" are not good enough for god sake Sam don't lose a World Class player before you have even had the chance to work with one. Firstly, thats the fucking Sun, get a grip. Secondly, it is important for us to have good players, naturally, but lets not pretend its "X player at any cost", cos thats bollocks. If Owen wants to stay and give it a go, fantastic, he's a top player. If not, fair do's get rid, and look to the future. Michael Owen is not the only striker in the world who will get us 15+ league goals a season. Thirdly, Allardyce is goign to have to make a lot of decisions and see the back of a fair few players now, at Christmas and next summer. A lot of the so-called first team will have to be replaced, and if that has to include Owen, then at least Allardyce has been shown to know a decent footballer from a hole in his arse, and we have to trust him (until he proves otherwise, although hopefully he won't) in that he will get the players we need.

Allardyce confirmed as Newcastle manager - 3 year deal.
Northern Monkey replied to Paully's topic in Football
WOW that's some achievement already. 2 months grace of support from NM (although I'll believe it when I see it) before he's declared the worst manager in the league. Is that 2 months starting from now, or the start of the season? Woudl you rather i declared that solely because he was manager of NUFC, he should get 100% support no matter what he did, or that he was GUARANTEED to get us to 4th next season? Sorry for being realistic, like. Just a habit of mine. But you get down on your kneed and start sucking him off if thats the sort of thing you like. Me, i'll support the man and see how things go. -

Northern Monkey replied to Paully's topic in Football
We're not goign to be challenging for 4th next season, and to be honest, i think we'll not get into the UEFA places next year either by the end of the season. Disappointed in the appointment, really. However, Allardyce should get all of our support, as he tries to prove himself. In my mind, it should only be a few months before his intentions are clear, hsi attitudes come out, and the existence or otherwise of a long-term plan, etc, is clear. After that point, we'll be able to see whether or not he deserves full support. -

Yet you feel you can comment on Samuel when you clearly havent seen him or if you have it was a number of years ago.. I was actually commenting on OUR players, who i have seen far too much of. We have amongst the worst defenders in the league. Therefore most options would be better. Well that one isn't. In your opinion we only have one quality striker at the club and one with potential to be good yest Viduka isn't good enough for us. Yet Samuel obviously is because Babayaro is shit. Do you just love the whole negativity thing so if we keep signing shit players you will have plenty to moan about? We have NO good left backs. We have 2 decent (and better in one case) forwards - at the moment. I don't personally think Viduka is any fucking good, but please feel free to continue calling for him - when he arrives and does fuck all, you'll be able to spend ages making excuses for him then.
