Milner and Smith out wide...

He's the one who gets the tables.

13 of us around a table in Akbars

Was his career ever going to amount to much after he left us considering his age? Keegan sold Cole to bring in Ferdinand and I think he was possibly right. When KK and Terry McDermott were back last time around I think they admitted that wasn't the case, with Terry Mac saying he had whispered "oh no he doesn't" to Keegan on the steps as one fan was saying "we should back off, Kevin will have a replacement lined-up" (sic). I'll try and find the source, but have a feeling it was video rather than written. EDIT: Was actually from a Keegan talk-in: In terms of the question at hand here: I think Cole was better, personally, and became a better all-round footballer after he left us in addition to being a better goalscorer than Ferdinand anyway.

The three I've played in have seen the Blues alright for a 'keeper with the Reds struggling a bit, mind.

On a Saturday? Madness.

Ah, bugger. Knoxy doesn't mind playing a half for each, so that's definitely a goer

Yep

To be fair my psychic abilities did anticipate the game 1 year and 4 months before it was mooted, hence why I got Jack to sign up then

Chris, man

That Shiraz place was the same according to TA. Bit of a shame.

It's a rare occurrence/special occasion at worst

Good start there with Prophet/SanToon straight in. Howay man Neesy, you start things on Mondays. I think I'm kidding myself with the "few drinks" bit the way this is panning out.

This is how it was in the early N-O meets, like. Shak tried to order sweet and sour pork in Koh-I-Noor at 3am.

Classic. Again it doesn't exactly fit the "central" location bit as it's heading out of town on Westgate Road.

Slim, did you just pick that because it's the #1 ranked Indian in Newcastle on TA?

I'd be down with this, or the place Disco suggested if they could accommodate a crowd easily as well with no fuss (the main thing, IMO). How many we got coming? MKSC is eating with the wife, Slim won't come if it's not up to his standards, but mostly everyone else in plus Brett?

Slim would be golden.

I love how for Slim it's about the food and not the company

Let's just pile in there as soon as people can face it so we can meet up with those that don't fancy it/can't come ASAP?

Trying to be polite, innit.

Noooo Japanese buffet for £12 and £6 for all you can drink beer saki etc dont be fools! http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/restaurants-bars/review-tenji-japanese-buffet-barrack-1739655 Sounds very good as well but goes completely against the "don't eat loads" idea If I'm paying for a buffet I'm eating until I'm brimmed.
