  1. This bit got me. "I will stay here [at Newcastle] unless something remarkable comes up.”
  2. At least we know what he's doing while not playing for us.

    NUFC finances

    I take it you've never used an accountant before then. I'm sure he is an accountant.
  4. Pardew was complicit with everything bad which happened while he was here to such an extent that he would back the club (Ashley and Llambias) in public. That alone puts him in a shit league of his own.
  5. Aye, we're a set of bastards for corrupting our fellow supporters.
  6. I thought that I would go back once Pardew left and than I decided not to bother when they appointed Carver, I'll probably never go back until Ashley has gone, if at all. I really don't like anything about the club anymore and every negative story means I like the club even less. Bigirimana looked excellent when he broke into the first team and he was unjustly dropped, we've basically chewed him up and spat him out.
  7. What success? Well two trophies for a start Don't bother with him.
  8. It's called compassion and human decency, look it up. .
  9. Nothing in that interview comes as a surprise, the club is run by scum.
  10. I felt that the problems in the midlands, and only the areas that I knew was that Asians and West Indians didn't integrate too well, they even seemed to avoid each other. They seemed to live in the same areas where whites didn't live in so it was a case of them and us. It wasn't a massive problem up here because we had fewer at that time and they integrated much better. We've got Benwell now but didn't at that time, or at least I don't remember it being like that.
  11. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/features/columnists/mikeamos/backtrack/8824567.Tributes_to_the_Bill_Shankly_of_Annfield/?action=complain&cid=9116231 MUCH-TRAVELLED striker Tony Cunningham had a “Where are they now” piece – he’s now a solicitor in Lincoln – in last weekend’s Sunday Times. Particularly he recalled his time with Newcastle United under Jack Charlton, a manager infamous for never remembering players’ name. Usually they were either Big Lad or Little Lad. Cunningham was different. “He called me Blackie Milburn, but meant no offence by it,” he says.
  12. I lived in the midlands in the late 70's and early 80's and heard much more day to day racism than I ever did up here. We were terrible as a fan base but away from football racism wasn't a massive problem from my experience.
  13. The abuse handed out by our fans was second to maybe only Chelsea, it was disgusting. I didn't hear anything racist towards our own players and never have even though I know it almost certainly will happen. Howard Gayle was a good player and I was over the moon that we finally had a black player to shut our fans up. I know what happened with monkey chants was racism but I think in those days players were always picked out for abuse. Ginger, you got it. Slightly overweight, you got it. Losing your hair, you got it. Had an affair, you got it. Black, you got it. Basically, our fans abused the opposition players or managers for any reason they could find in an attempt to put them off and black players were massively and disgustingly targeted.
  14. http://i62.tinypic.com/2v7xaf8.png Ah a Mackem calling us shit, he must be right.
  15. It was Jack Charlton who gave him that nickname.
  16. I got kicked out of the Grimsby end when he scored and was escorted around the pitch and into our end.

    http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/john-carver-says-preparation-wear-tyne-8893125#rlabs=5 The Spaniard had been dropped by Carver before being reinstated into the starting XI. Carver said: “The proof is in the pudding, and I’ll guarantee you his physical stats will be fantastic when we get in on Monday. “But it just shows you, sometimes you have to take a young player out of the situation. “His was another outstanding performance. “He was very unfortunate with a couple of chances, in particular the one that just went past the post, but I thought he was outstanding.” FFS That's why he always licks his lips, he's always thinking about eating puddings, that'll also be why his teeth are the same colour as freshly cut grass.
  18. Howard Gayle and he was well liked.
  19. That song was about Howard Gayle.

  21. Not to mention he lost more than he won, I really don't care what he does at Palace it will never change the fact that he was awful here.

    I think we'll finish above Hull with nobody under them finishing above us so I'll go for 14th. Didn't Carver say he was aiming for 8th?
