A better solution would just be an all Ireland team like in the the rugby. It would build bridges and also make the side better.

Who said they havent tried to recruit Protestants? People from Protestant backgrounds generally dont want to play for the Republic, I also think you need an Irish passport to play for them too. So its hardly a surprise that few Protestants get recruited. From the Republics point of view there is a pool of players in the north, so why shouldnt they get players from here? The players also make the choice to play for the Republic as well.

What do you expect though, Northern Ireland isnt in Britain, but it is some part of Ireland. The majority wouldnt accept an Northern Irish identity as people generally see themselves as Irish or British here.

I'm as confused as owt, how can he play for Eire if he is British? Anybody born in Northern Ireland can play for either team for some batshit reason. Doesn't make sens that like They're 2 totally seperate countries. It's like saying anyone born in Belguim can also play for France if they so wish. If someone is British then surely they can play for any of the nations in the UK? People in Northern Ireland have dual citizenship, Irish and British. I for example am Irish and go to Dublin to sort out my passport and that.

You know what I mean.

If he is unprofessional out on loan then fine him a couple of weeks wages. Learning to be a professional is one of the main things he needs to do tbh, he seems like a bit of a joke at the moment.

Can do a lot worse than Bothroyd on a 1 or 2 year deal for free. We're going to get rid of Kuqi, Ranger will go out on loan and we will probably sell Lovenkrands as well. I wouldnt give him more than 20k a week though, so if he wants more then he can go else ware. Pardew will no doubt be trying hard over the summer to get a couple of good quality forwards anyway, so it doesnt hurt to get someone for free who can come in a few times during the season if we're stuck.

Isnt Smith on something like 60k a week? That would cover about 3 young squad players. Add that to Campbell's wages anarl. Its a priority that we get rid of these players on big wages who never play man.

Interesting thread. People are happy to get rid of basically all our remaining forwards? Are we gonna sign a starter or 2 and a few squad forwards as well? Personally I'd do this: Sold Kuqi - shite Smith - shite Guthrie - championship standard, will have cover if we need it anyway with Barton possibly losing his RM role and if he doesnt we have Gosling to play there to free Barton for CM. We will probably sign another CM as well. Campbell - shite Routledge - isnt good enough to challenge for the top 10, QPR are willing to buy him so get rid. Xisco - hasnt settled and probably never will. R.Taylor - not good enough. Perch - shite. Loan Ranger - so important that he gets regular football and grows up a bit. Vuckic - needs regular football. Kadar - regular football and that leek. Lua Lua - regular football. Id get rid of Lovenkrands too, but only if we sign another squad player to play up front. Hes shite, but we need squad players for up front. I would also consider Harper's position at the club, it might be time for Forster and Krul to be the number 1 and 2. We cant really afford to lose too many players with our small squad either.

Eejits whoever they were. This seasons kit has the perfect balance of black and white imo.

Good to see plenty of Newcastle fans sending him welcome messages on Facebook. He's replying to them all too I think.

Is that their original colours? I just find it strange how their away kit is Man Utd's colours.

Anyone else depressed that this thread and shite threads like it are going to dominate the football section for the next few months? Typical summer of course, but well worth avoiding.

He makes me fucking sick. I was furious earlier, but hes gone now. My mind is at Newcastle and how we build for next season. Fuck this mercenary cunt. When he is on his death bed he wont have a club that foundly remembers him as a legend. Thats something trophies cant buy. We'll move on. I hope Newcastle fans leave this bitterness behind now and dont take it into next season. I can talk like, I hate the cunt, but im willing to forget him and move on.

Im going to sound like a right cunt. The season was unreal, fucking top class. I cant feel that though at the end of a 3-3 draw in which we lead 3-0. Thats utter failure right there. Thats the last game before next season. I want our players to fucking play for the shirt every game and most of our fringe players cant be fucked.

They finished above us, it fucking kills me and im nee local, but youve to hand it to them, over 38 games they got more points. We blew a 3-0 lead man, let them enjoy their moment, they will celebrate it like they won the champions league, but we will be back. 2 points, thats fucking nothing, howay Newcastle.

Fair play to Giggs, Imogen's some bit of stuff.

Absolutely never.

Not sure to be honest. We could finish 8th tomorrow. Considering Liverpool will probably finish 6th, why should we be selling our best players to them? We should be buying to compete with them really.

Or maybe Pardew is his yes man who is willing to live with next to no transfer funds and being told what to do. http://forums.atomixro.com/images/smilies/troll.png

I think we'll continue this trend for as long as Ashley is here as well, no matter how high we finish in the league.

The most worrying thing about this is our track record with left backs since Bernard left us (the first time). That position was always a pain in the arse and it was sorted with Enrique there. We more than likely wont replace him properly and have to suffer awful left backs once again.
