  1. No, but why would there be? No reason, just curious as to whether there had been any suggestion he was definitely part of first team plans.
  2. Forgive my non-religious following of NUFC PR lately, but has there been any credible indication from the club/management to suggest Santon will start on Monday and oust either Simpson or Raylor?
  3. I'd play our B team against this lot: Bislop Beye Bramble Bassong Beresford Beardsley Batty Bassedas Bellamy Best Ba
  4. Krul Raylor Saylor Colo Bernard Tiote Acuna Cabaye Sameobi Asprilla Les Ferdinand
  5. Just remembered this was a Monday game. Fffffffuuuu.....
  6. Unlimited until the next gameweek deadline.
  7. When you press 'reply' it will take you to a new page. From there, if you scroll down, you can insert quotes from the recent posts in the thread.
  8. Dying at a football match. No one should ever have to worry about that when they go to a game.
  9. The quick reply box doesn't have smileys (unless you know the codes). If you want smileys, click the 'reply' button. [The smaller red oval below]. <snip: Beren, I removed this because its purpose has been served and the screen-grab displayed mimi's IP address>
  10. Was the rumour from America?
  11. Italy with another perfect 1-0 win with a late goal
  12. I read that as 'pitiful armpit' at first.
  13. Not when you know whose miss it was
  14. Four ex-Aston Villa midfielders.
  15. Good thread. Will be an interesting read once the answers are given.
  16. On a related note, does anyone else find Capello to be a complete and utter wanker?
  17. That's some serious Star Wars shit. Sith Lord (NE5), Sith Apprentice (Ozzie). Jedi (majority of N-O) and Sith (NE5 and Ozzie) both want the same thing (prosperity for Newcastle), they just see things little differently. [/geeks see fictional comparisons everywhere]
  18. I think he's a fantastic talent, but not sure if I agree about us being a better team with him. I'd like to think we've evolved (or begun to evolve) away from a team which is built around him. howay mate, i admire your aspirations towards carpet football but we're a team that starts Peter Lovenkrands up front for fucks sake. there's no way on earth that's better than playing Carroll, we wouldnt have to build our team around him at all, it's fairly simple to set the team up to play the same but nick it in to Carroll if there's nowt else on. As a player who's great in the air and taking it on his chest, as well as tidy on the floor and good at bringing others into the game he'd improve us massively. Peter fucking Lovenkrands ffs. Fair points. I do think the temptation to lump it long would hinder our progress as a team. The Barton setpiece-Carroll knockdown-Nolan tap-in routine is over. Enrique no longer here to cross it. Gutierrez not at his most effective when he's putting in crosses from the byline. Just can't see what other we could play with Carroll spearheading our attack. Maybe it was bias then, or sour grapes now, but I do think I'd rather have Leon Best starting up front for us now over Carroll Reading that back, I can see how ridiculous it sounds, and will invite a lot of laughter, but I do think time will justify that statement. I think he's massively underrated as a player and he's more than a deft poacher, and if he can keep his fitness/sharpness he'll do very well for us. Leon's actually really impressive in the air, and is good at encouraging our midfielders forward. Interesting times.

    A productive thread for them then Worth a read right through Last few pages are just peopel pleading for the thread to be deleated out of embarrasment. People slagging off the Echo and The Mail for reporting it, and then people pointing out the official SAFC Twitter had retweeted it and Sunder;and players had been sending their best wishes and talking about the last time they met his non-existant son and what a great lad he was Shouldn't laugh about these things, but I suppose a non-existant kid getting non-existant cancer isn't quiote as taboo... You're kidding me?
  22. When he gets time on the pitch you can see how hard he's trying, but it's actually a bit of a problem - because he seems so desperate to impress that he's snatching at his chances. Too much, too young IMO. Add that in to his detrimental effect on his own team's defenders (ie - giving them justification to lump it long) and well,... long may it continue.
  23. Dredging up old posts to prove someone wrong/brag about being right is bad form except when the post/poster you're humiliating references a point in the future when they intend to do some face-rubbing. They're fair game if they do that and should take any stick that's coming their way on the chin.

  25. Your sig needs updating. Rich, Henke and arguably YG are safe (the pre-emptive Obertan replacement is tricky).
