where abouts near Hexham?? an City move for keeper Isaksson Isaksson has been playing in France for Rennes for two seasons Manchester City are set to sign Sweden international keeper Andreas Isaksson. The 24-year-old will complete his move from Rennes in a £2m, three-year deal once City have concluded the details of David James' transfer to Portsmouth. "This is a big step forward for me. My ambition is still to play with one of the biggest teams, but right now it feels very good," Isaksson said. Isaksson has almost 50 international caps and played in three of Sweden's four World Cup matches this summer. He sat out the first against Trinidad and Tobago with concussion but was back between the sticks by the time Sweden played England. Isaksson has turned down the chance of adding another cap to his tally after pulling out of his country's friendly against Germany on Wednesday, so he can get used to his new surroundings and prepare for the new season. "The best thing for me is to be in Manchester and train with my new team-mates," he added. "It will be significantly better opponents than in the French league and I have to raise myself another level if I want to do well. "It is a tougher game in the Premier League. The goalkeepers aren't as protected as we are in other leagues and you have to be aware of that." "But Stuart Pearce believes in me a lot. He and the club seem to know exactly of what they are buying." City open their Premiership campaign at Chelsea where Isaksson will come up in direct opposition to the man he replaced at Rennes in 2004, Petr Cech.

Cos your pals? Jonny re: dippers you have to draw the line somewhere.

That explains it. Less than 1/3 of the posters now live in the NE, that's why it's good for posters to show no discrimination on here, the amount of times I've seen the phrase "yanks cunts" or "kraut twats", just remember we're all in this together.

Stop being pedantic you. Because those countries are mainly in the northern part of Asia, and I think while SE Asia is smaller, we'll have more fans from there than the rest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Asia-map.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia Why put that up?? Just why? Even by smoggie standards you can be annoying. There's a lad I've known all my life called Fat Martin the Twat, and he reminds me of you as he's so picky and dull. What I meant was there's under 600m people in SE Asia, while between India, Pakistan, China and Japan there are 2.5 billion, yet we'll have probably more in SE Asia, so annoying at times. I can just hear your voice now you, like a camp Tom O'Connor.

Apologies you live on the runway at Reykjavic airport.

You live on a boat parked in Rejkjavik harbour according to this.

:grt: Fucked my bet up, but well done, that Deery scored 2 of the best goals you'll ever see. Nice to see them Rangers fans chucked oot as well. You's have the hardest accent in the world to understand. Not one person apart from you and me would know what "saunter" meant.

Stay, so we can see where geordies have fucked off to all over the world as well as overseas fans.

Down south

Not many of these use gen chat. Gen chat is like a different message board all together, I know of at least 5 people who get in gen chat who will look at this board less than once per annum.

Aye but I've clicked NW by mistake bluecry.gif

Right, we done this ages ago but there were so many replies and no poll was done. I just want to confirm my theory that on one of the toons biggest message boards anywhere in the world, we have more fans that aren't from the NE than that are. The question isn't where you were born, but where you are now to show our diaspora.

I think you need to get a grip, I wasn't having a go at the size of our crowds, I've never had a go at the size of the crowds, I've always said we've had good crowds. I said earlier in this thread that I wasn't having a go at the crowds, nothing has changed in that respect, do I need to add a disclaimer every time I mention the crowd? have you got the Alzheimer's as well? Go back to the middle of the post. http://www.indiaplaza.com/productimages/grocery/groceries/images/horlicks_plain.jpg

This is fast becoming pointless, this is the last time I'll repeat this here, you knocked the style of football played under Keegan, you did it by having a go at the "crash bang wallop" style before Lee arrived. I know you've stuck up for Keegan but he played "crash bang wallop" football as you call it, his approach was if they score three, we'll score four and you can't deny it, he was all out attack and we all loved it, the thing is, you're now using that against Joe Harvey in an attempt to make Lee look good. I will make one thing clear here. I have not knocked anything about Keegans time as a manager other than buying Arsprilla. YOU find it, or you are a liar. I have also NEVER mentioned Joe Harvey, at any time, anywhere. And you are right about one other thing, it is pointless debating with someone who won't answer questions. I actually don't give a flying fcuk if "the fans" didn't like Gordon Lee for selling MacDonald, because events proved him to be right, the team did better, he was finished with football 3 years later, and only a complete plank would still deny these FACTS. You didn't answer why Lee left. You said he left because we were just a cup team or something. What sort of reply is that ? In actual fact, one phrase the toonarama do get right is where they quote Lee as saying "they talk big but don't act big" [that YOU pointed us at :lol:]. Too much for you to understand. Why did he buy England players at Everton and not at Newcastle ? Why did we jump 10 places higher in the league after selling your 2 golden boys ? Answer the question. Why don't you answer the questions asked you by NE15 ? You are giving Richard Dinnis the credit for finishing 5th, as we were 9th with FIVE games in hand when Lee left. Fine. I hope you don't criticise Dinnis in future :lol: The players were going to go on strike because they were pissed off at the club losing Lee. I went to games. I had a season ticket. How many did you go to that season ? Answer the question. Be careful, I will ask you some questions based on this. And now I expect not to get a reply. You're a joke. You really are slow tonight, I said you mentioned Keegan when you were complaining about a certain type of football, the type we played under Keegan. I didn’t say that you actually typed his name, does that clear things up? Do I need to go in to more detail or will this, the third attempt clear it up? What were you referring to when you typed this? The right lines being, in fact "controlled possession" football, rather than "crash bang wallop". Anyone who knows anything about football will tell you that controlled possession football is the way to play, becomes more important the higher you go, yet you cling to the absurd idiotic notion that having a number 9 to hang your hat on is preferable to having a good, successful team. Was Souness right to sell Bellamy and Robert because we finished higher last season without them than we did the season before, when they played? I know Bellamy left in the January window before you try to deflect away from answering, just answer the question. Of course Newcastle were right to sell Macdonald, the team did better for 1 season then it was 2nd division football while Macdonald was probably devastated at being stuck in the shitty first and top division. As you say “only a complete plank would still deny these FACTS”. I did answer why Lee left, please pay more attention, people don’t take your questions seriously because when they answer questions you either don’t see the answer or chose to ignore it, it makes you look a bit daft. Point out where I said Lee left because we were a cup team? I’m sure somebody who brands people liars can prove that statement. I’m not giving Lee or Dinnis the credit for the 5th finish, history says Dinnis was the manager of the club when we finished 5th, who am I to argue? Who do you give credit for finishing 5th and why? The players were not going on strike because they were pissed off at losing Lee, they were threatening it because they wanted Dinnis as manager. What would be the point in going on strike after a manager had decided that he wanted to go to another club? Stop trying to change history again, you just look daft How often did you stand in the Leazes during Lee’s last season at the club? I just wonder as you are the expert on what the Leazes sang. As for how many games I attended 30 years ago, no idea. Get to bed Mick 4fs. Can anyone tell me when St Nick's gave their patients internet access?

Roger Jones played 5 or 6 games but was injured twice, in those 5 or 6 games you could see enough in him to claim that he's the best keeper you've seen at Newcastle, talk about knee-jerk. I don't remember the Leazes ever singing "Gordon we love you", you've said this before and have not been able to back it up so I'll just go off what I can remember and I was in the Leazes end about half way up behind the goal. I didn't have to correct you about the last game being the Man City game, I questioned what this had to do with the size of the crowd considering nobody knew he'd resigned apart from the directors and players. Regarding Toonarama, I agree about Keeley and Bird although Alex Bruce was hardly given a chance and he didn't look that bad when he got a game, he looked a tidy player. As for not talking about that web site, fair enough, I'm not surprised in the slightest that you don't want to mention it considering it goes against your opinion. Gordon Lee only finished 1 season at Newcastle, we finished 15th in the league, we never qualified for Europe with him as manager, as you like to say, FACT. Lee said he left Newcastle to be with his Family in Lancashire, later on he said it was because Newcastle had no ambition, the pay rise had noting to do with him going to Everton. I mentioned Keegan because you knocked the style of football played under him, you did it by having a go at the "crash bang wallop" style before Lee arrived, when did Keegan preach possession football? The gates were reducing before we sold any of Waddle, Beardsley and Gazza, do you know that the club could afford to keep these players? I don't, I'm not saying that they couldn't as a fact, I'm saying that the club may not have been able to afford it, do you think crowds of 26,228, 23,434, 24,750, 21,038, 22,810, 21,525 were big enough to afford them and then spend a load of cash keeping them happy? Before you start going on about us now having 52,000 crowds, remember what NE15 said, we were one of the best supported clubs at that time in the country, did that mean we were successful? Honest mate you taak pish at times. Your argument was wor gates were too shite to keep players, never in my life have I ever heard a bigger load of shite. If I was you and if you had any fuckin pride at all I'd be pming the powers that be on here and saying "look I havent fuckin got a clue what am on about and admit am taakin fuckin shite" and get them to put it on news now as well. The 26,228, despite being a shite side full of Pat Heard's etc... 4th best average and fuckin more than Spurs that season. Wadd;e fuiced off to Spurs so whats that got to dee wi gates???!??!?!?!?! fuckin. 23,434 again in an era where football was on the decline and the toon were fuckin shite, a respectable gate similar to fuckin star laden Spurs and Everton who were streets above us. 86/87 25,000 fuckin incredible when you think we flirted with relegation the whole season, then we sold Beardo. Next season capacity 26000, averaged 22,000 in your heart you know you're a nob if you can't recognise the capacity had an impact on the fuckin average 4gs! 23000 avearge 88/89 incredible considering it was one of the worst sides in toip flight history. The last gate you query is the 22000 average in 89/90, when we were in the second tier of english football. Believe me pre-fuckin sky no **** got that in division 2 apart from us and Leeds, you even said Gazza left in 1989, without doubt you are a fuckin KBJ AND I TELL YOU FUCKIN SOMETHING ELSE YOU'RE AN IGNORANT VIRGINA ** I've looked at this 15 minutes after it was posted and done 11 edits to avoid banning.

I can't really argue with the figures you mention except to say that the only figures I've ever seen are that Spurs offered Gazza £125,000 a year which was twice what we offered, I have no idea if this is true, it could be bullshit. McKeag told Gibbo and Oliver Gazza had been offered £3,000 a week, and he knocked it back.

AF you forgot mine Could I have STEVIE 77 please

Our average league gates with Waddle, Beardsley and Gazza were: 1983/84 - 29,811 1984/85 - 26,228, Waddles last season. 1985/86 - 23,434 1986/87 - 24,750, Beardsleys last season. 1987/88 - 21,038 1988/89 - 22,810, Gascoignes last season. 1989/90 - 21,525 The gates were falling before we sold anybody. Gazza's last season 88/89 pmsl. Mick if yee had any first hand knowledge of the toon in the 80's you would not have forgotten our opening home game of that season. Gazza's home coming with Spurs! If the toon had've been succesful (come 10th say) in 88/89 we'd have averaged 30,000 no problem. We got two 14,000 gates when we had already been relegated, or was it West Ham that put us doon? I remember Lormor's over head kick in the first minute. It's a miracle having been totally fucking shite, that we averaged 23,000, no other club that would come last in the league would've got 23,000. The reason the season before was so low was because the capacity was just over 25,000. Totally flawed points Mick, wor crowds had **** all to do with players leaving, totally ridiculous to suggest that was a reason they left. I know I got Gazza wrong, it was the season before. The point I'm trying to make with gates is that maybe the club didn't have the money to keep them. I remember Jack Charlton commenting that the club had spent/wasted (I'm not sure which) a fortune on players. I'm not trying to put our gates down, I've tried to explain to NE5 that most clubs gates were falling not just ours, I know we were always one of the best supported teams even when struggling, clubs must have been over the moon when we played them as we took so many to away games. You're basically saying the revenue we received from gate money in the late 80's caused us to sell our best players. I repeat, total pish, TOTAL PISH, that's the end of the matter. The fact remains we could've kept Gascoigne, he was offered £3,000 a week, but he signed for Spurs for £3,000 a week, it had everything to do with the ambition of the club, and the draconian way it was being run.
