I think we should sack him just for a laugh. Have no manager, let the players pick the team. They could literally fight for their place as half time entertainment. All the coaching staff go too apart from Terry Mac, who just watches the fighting from the sidelines whilst stroking his tash and muttering random bouts of gibberish, whilst Mike Ashley watches from the stand shouting pseudo-football-fan hooligan-esque abuse at the loser. It will be great fun.

1. A Premier League Match 2. A Championship Match 6. A FA Cup Match 7. A FA Cup Semi-Final 8. A FA Cup Final 9. A League Cup Match 12. A League Match in another country. 14. Milan Derby 17. An English Derby. 18. An International 19. A World Cup Match 21. A European Championship Match 22. A European Championship Final 25. A Champions League Match 27. A UEFA Cup Match 30. A Friendly 32. A team get promoted 33. A team get relegated 35. A Penalty Shootout 36. A saved penalty 41. Watched a game at Old Wembley 43. Watched a game at the Millenium Stadium 44. Watched a game at the Nou Camp 46. Watched a game at the San Siro 50. Travelled more than 400 miles specifically to watch a game.

I'm glad you clarified that 4 out of 10 is 40%. It increased the dramatic impact of the statistic by at least 110% for me.

Well, I guess the general idea is to increase protection on the full-backs. And it might actually make sense, you know, if we were playing Barcelona every week and not the likes of Sunderland and Derby.

He is. Barton is on the right.

Yeah, I doubt that. There is more chance of seeing Riquelme playing for Huddersfield next season than Barcelona.

No. He doesn't train, he helicopter.

Shame, I was aiming for you. Major scalp and all that. Now I know to keep my aim in the hundreds next time

#89?

I got there first Dave, I got there first. #261

It's times like this where a random-deletion lottery would come in handy; just to spark a bit of life into the thread, you know? Clearing up a bit of bandwidth at the same time? I'm gonna randomly pick User ID# 468.

And whilst we're on the subject of striking over money and financial issues, who wants to buy us a new server?

I know, Dave, I know, tell me about it. All those fucking letters. Delayed. Just like that... Who'd have thought it?

I dunno. Prison Break is delayed though. And 24 is postponed. And Heroes is rubbish. I think it's safe to say that the quality of this thread has just risen dramatically. Who wants to talk about the strike?

Would you sacrifice European football though? Depending on the wider picture, if we guarenteed to play some good teams/get far in the Waffa then yes providing they stayed up to be beat next season, if not no I'd prefer for us not to get beat by them. Eh? He means he'll only answer the question if you use your hypothetical crystal ball to predict the future.

What if we win one game, lose the other, then qualify to europe through the intertoto cup?

Why can't we get beat off them and fail to qualify for europe?

Bit lop-sided imo. What if we had two left backs?

Midds two seconds faster than me. Might as well just kill myself now.

Because they bite.

Jesus fucking christ on a BMX, we all need to get a grip here mates; there isn't a hope in hell that this will happen ffs. He likes to cross the halfway line occasionally, for a start.

To be fair, I think most people were calling for Souness' head two and a half minutes into his abortive reign and were proved right.

At the end of the day mate, it comes down to the fact that we only have a multi-billionaire owner. Way I see it, we need to get this board out and bring in a multi-billion-zillionaire owner if we want to get where we belong. And frankly, champions league football is barely acceptable either. We are NEWCASTLE UNITED and we are above travelling to places like Moscow or Kiev. Or Barcelona or Milan. I won't be happy until we are so good that UEFA give us an automatic bye into the last 16 every season; which is how it should be. And when I say "happy" I mean "moderately satisfied." And when I say "last 16" I mean "don't bother turning up lads, you win by default for being so amazingly good." I was actually being very sarcastic with me comments. That comes as a shock. I wasn't.
