The media seem to think that Butt has been outstanding this year for some reason so it's not beyond the possibility that they've picked those 3 as "obvious" players to keep off their own backs.

Even the muppets upstairs must know that if they mug Shearer off, there will be no comeback from that in the fans' eyes, that would be the final straw.

It makes no sense not to have a relegation clause in. If every other team has them it's there's no incentive not to have them in, especially for a team likelier than most to go down.

Feel sorry for the guy but in the championship we can't really afford to hold onto him, his wage could be used in a more important position as I'm sure Krul is more than good enough for the championship.

I'll probably be in London come next season which means a fair few away games in the area. Is there any chance at all getting away tickets not being a season ticket holder?

I bet the BBC are tugging themselves silly having bought the games and us and boro are relegated.

They didn't, it was roughly 6 million. Fail. It wasnt solely Jews in the concentration camps think its actually in region of 1 million or two million that actually were. Thanks for setting my mind at rest, I would have been a mess today otherwise.

That's not stopping anyone though. You can always learn the basics of another language. Especially such similar languages. I mean I doubt many Nigerian players speak Russian, Italian, or Spanish, yet there are a whole bunch of them in those countries. But being British we don't try. See any brits abroad, we barely make an effort.

Because no footballers know a word of a foreign language. Most Europeans know at least English and probably a few others.

an official text? Yup, should be coming up on .co.uk asap too http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1648553,00.html

Agree, absolute 100% bollocks to try and stir shit up. Not the first time he's done it either http://www.newcastle.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=85788

Fuck me. Old board: backed their managers to the point of bankruptcy New board: didn't back the managers to the point of relegation Both shit. The end.

Throw in the fact we've got points at 3 of the 4 top-six clubs we've played this season away from home and why not?

Aye, f***ing stupid rule. No idea why it's used, hopefully a salad-dodger Scot could clear it up? Tongue in cheek. I'm not a jock but it's to ensure less dead games I believe. If Celtic and Rangers had to play the teams in say 7th-9th in their last few games those teams would roll over and die, as they have nothing to play for. Same argument could be made for any league surely?

Look at his fucking calves! Looks like he's smuggling a small kid up there.

Someone's been taking lessons from anal.

You need to read about statistics, that's more than enough to provide an reasonably accurate stat.

Fucking dive as well.

Even though he's shite, he provided the assist for our only goal. He's a waste of space but probably one of the few players who can actually supply something from midfield, even if it is only once a game.
