The farcical situation at St James’s escalated even further over the weekend. Llambias has been using former manager Joe Kinnear’s sponsored car since he took ill in February. But it emerged that the Tyneside-based hire company who provided the car sent an employee to St James’s with a spare set of keys to retrieve the vehicle after calls to Llambias were reportedly ignored.

Go directly to A & E and get those spelks out your arse

Stupeedo gonna be lonely

Enrique for me the rest can go fuck themselves

Spotted this just before i left for work on the Chronicle online and nearly with joy ,hope this comes off it is light years away from the bunch of :duff: s we have now with a proper vision of the future and i know its careful what you wish for but bring it on .

Definitely in too

Think your over reacting a bit tbh and Nufc are on a different plant in the bigger picture of fan base ,stadium,merchandise etc and the only problem is our position now but overall we are a much better proposition in the long term imho.

Agree with this ,if Shearer is going to be manager he wont want players sold who he intends to use next season and why should Ashley care when he is bailing out anyway.

The way things are at present i am extremely pessimistic and it just about sums up the amateurs running this club into the ground with no idea .

Count me in

Confirmed on the beeb site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/8081039.stm Knob jockey

A majority of people on here would have had him including myself tbh not so long ago.

Agree totally and Martins will never be half the player Cole was imho.

funny you should say that ,in the chat forum i used the word AMAZING in the pet hates thread and my reasoning was the total misuse of the word unless he made Mcmanaman turn into a rabbit infront of your eyes and that would be amazing

Party pooper your just so sick stop spoiling it

Abit of info off Newcastle blog about the Sultan of Oman Sultan Qaboos Bin Said - Worth More Than Queen Elizabeth II? June 2nd, 2009 by Ed Harrison · 54 Comments When we wrote our article this morning on the Sultan of Oman, we were a little puzzled why no information was coming up - but we’ve found out that the name was not accurate, although we did have the right picture of the Sultan up. sultan-of-oman His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Here are some details we’ve been able to get: Personal Background The Sultan of Oman is Qaboos bin Said Al Said GCB GCMG GCVO who was born November 18, 1940 in Salalah. We suppose he gets Qaboos Bin Said for short. He rose to power after overthrowing his father, Sa‘id ibn Taymur, in a coup d’état in 1970, and if the 14th descendant of the Al Bu Sa‘idi dynasty. He is the only son of Sultan Sa‘id bin Taymur and is one of the 8th generation of the Al Bu Sa‘idi dynasty. He received his primary and secondary education in Salalah and at Pune, India and attended a private educational establishment in England from the age of sixteen. At 20 he entered the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. After graduating from Sandhurst, he joined a British Infantry regiment, The Cameronians, and served in the 1st Battalion in Germany for one year. He also held a staff appointment with the British Army. After his military service, Sultan Qaboos studied local government subjects in England and, after a world tour, returned home to Salalah where he studied Islam and the history of his country. In 1976 Qaboos ibn Sa‘id married his cousin, Kamila, née Sayyidah Nawwal bint Tariq (born 1951), daughter of HH Sayyid Tariq ibn Taymur,[4] but the marriage soon ended in divorce. He has no children, and rumors about his personal life may have affected his authority. Qaboos ibn Sa‘id is an avid fan and promoter of Newcastle United classical music. His 120-member orchestra has a high reputation in the Middle East. The orchestra consists entirely of young Omanis who, since 1986, audition as children and grow up as members of the symphonic ensemble. They play locally and travel abroad with the sultan. Argentine composer Lalo Schifrin was commissioned to compose a work entitled Symphonic Impressions of Oman[7] and is particularly enthusiastic about the pipe organ. The Sultan’s birthday, 18 November, is celebrated as Oman’s national holiday. For six years prior to Said bin Taymur’s overthrow, Qaboos experienced virtual house arrest in the royal palace of Salalah. In July 1970, soldiers supporting Qaboos clashed with forces loyal to Said bin Taymur, and deposed him. Qaboos maintains that his father abdicated the throne. The British government helped to consolidate Qaboos’ power. Qaboos acceded to the throne on 1970-07-23, moving to Muscat. There he declared that the country would no longer be known as Muscat and Oman, but would change its name to “the Sultanate of Oman” in order to better reflect its political unity. Net Worth His net worth in August of last year was estimated at £590.1M but in the list of the The World’s Richest Royals in which he is listed at number 10, two places above Queen Elizabeth II, who is down as being worth only $349M. So he’s probably really worth a lot more than that - let’s just say he doesn’t seem to be short of money - which is good! Political System in Oman The political system which Qaboos established is that of an absolute monarchy. Unlike the situation in neighboring Saudi Arabia, Qaboos’ decisions are not subject to modification by other members of Oman’s family. Government decisions are said to be made through a process of decision-making by “consensus” with federal, provincial, local and tribal representatives, though critics allege that Qaboos exercises de facto control of this process. More recently, Qaboos has allowed parliamentary elections (in which women have voted and stood as candidates) and pledged greater openness and participation in government. As yet, however, this parliament lacks substantial political power. Qaboos’ supporters point to his relative success in governing the country. By Persian Gulf standards, Oman boasts good public order (it is an extremely safe country), middling prosperity (given its level of oil revenues) and a relatively permissive society. Since he acceded to the throne, Oman has broadened international relations, allowed newspapers, established high schools, built highways, opened hotels and shopping malls and spends a substantial portion of its dwindling oil revenues on health care and education. Full democracy, they say, might threaten these accomplishments. Residences/Palaces He has the following palaces in Oman: Al Alam palace (in Muscat) Al Seeb Palace (in Muscat) Al Hosn Palace (in Salalah) Al Ribat Palace (in Salalah) Royal Farms: Bahjat Al Andhar (in Sohar) Arzat (in Salalah) Royal Residences: Bait Al Baraka palace (in Muscat) Al Mamorah Palace (in Salalah) Al Shoumoukh Palace (in Nizwa) Future Flat on Quayside (Newcastle Upon Tyne) ? That’s quite a lot of information, but what comes across is he’s a wealthy individual - that’s for sure.

THE LADS TOO DAMN GOOD! HE HAS TO STAY. F*CK ALL WHO SAY HE'S s***. Had your pic taken with him from your avatar i guess but if it had of been Amoebi you would defend him too Its all about opinions but the majority of people on here now dont rate him imho and stick him in a quality team and he would hardly get used due to his general team play and effectiveness ,he cannot control a concrete block never mind a ball .

Find the threads on Smith,Nolan,Raylor and Duff and that blows your theory right out the window Aye but we hate them cos they're s***, whereas Martins is class and we hate him cos he's black, innit. Innit? Imho Martins is a shit centre Forward and after 35 years watching the toon you get a good chance to compare them and rate them contribution wise and tbh Martins is Shit up there with Billy Rafferty ,Ray Clarke to name but 2 oh i i almost forgot A'@~?i but thats not really safe to say now

Oi dont spoil it for others

Find the threads on Smith,Nolan,Raylor and Duff and that blows your theory right out the window

Sorry to run this Sky story again but its the highlighted bit that caught my eye that makes it more interesting Newcastle United could be sold within a month and at least two parties have already expressed their interest in buying the club, according to Sky Sports News. Sky Sports News' chief news reporter Bryan Swanson understands no bids have yet been made after Mike Ashley put the club up for sale following their relegation to the Championship. Ashley is believed to want in the region of £100m and Swanson has been told there is every expectation a deal will be concluded 'quickly' after a 'high level of interest'. [glow=red,2,300]It's understood the two parties who have expressed an interest did not approach the club when it was initially put up for sale in September last year.[/glow] Leading London investment bank Seymour Pierce, who have been commissioned to sell the club, have yet to comment on the latest takeover talks. Maybe a non story but it Could be a sugar daddy or Fat Fred and his posse

WE.DON'T.NEED.ANYMORE.GRAFTERS.WE.HAVE.ENOUGH. You're confusing "cloggers" with "grafters" - cloggers being no-talent hacks who scrape a career out of a reputation of hard work and/or thuggery. Grafters ACTUALLY work hard. So in fact we DO need grafters, players who will run all day, play hard but fair, who sweat bucketloads for the team. Like Habib Beye and (dare I say it) Steven Taylor. But we ALSO need skilful players - the difference is that we can't afford "flair players", the very skilled but lazy/stupid players (like Martins). In essence we need to find a balance of grafters AND talented players, while trimming the useless cloggers and extravagant flair players... Common sense at last

How to ruin your reputation as a successful business man in one easy step or words to that effect etc , Fook me dont know what to say bad timing or good timing you decide but at that price its a bargain and the only problem is getting the right buyer who has the vision and sense to put the right people in the right places with a PLAN ,the dawning of a new era or the dawn of the dead

WE.DON'T.NEED.ANYMORE.GRAFTERS.WE.HAVE.ENOUGH. A pint of what your drinking hope your being sarcastic or
