Andy

Fucking heart sank when I saw this had been bumped.

Oh behave will ya. Name a better one then? West Ham went down with a better team but they all left. We've managed to keep a team of Premiership quality players together. Premiership quality players... Who got relegated from the Premiership. Logical.

I'm sick of hearing "tough game this one, hardest test yet blah blah FUCKING blah..." this league is full of peasants and we are fucking royalty. We'll rape them to shit.

Yeah, shame he's pretty shit at almost everything else though. I hate the Ranger-hype, but I get the feeling he'll make a much better forward than Carroll.

It's no wonder so many other fans loathe us when half of us can't even take a bit of banter.

Yeah, I guess I could have put it like that and saved myself some typing. Well unless you think the Chuck Norris stuff for Shola and the Nile Ranger ridiculousness is sincere I can't remember anyone on this forum seriously claiming any of our players are 'class footballing geniuses' for, well, years. They've got a lot of 'they're fucking shite', but that tends to happen when you get relegated. Sorry, I didn't think it necessary to add a disclaimer that I was exaggerating for comic-effect and that the words I'd enclosed in quotation-marks weren't necessarily actual direct-quotes. I was obviously wrong, I'll remember for the next time. You would've thought David would be able to interpret text-based communication by now, given that it literally consumes 85% of his life.

Probably the best cross I've seen from one of our players since Robert left.

Oh my god. Isn't that all we can do though? This league is inferior (Stephen Carr got promoted FFS), so we are all in the process of watching how the team perform at this level and adjust our mindset as to what is and what isn't good enough. It will take a while to fully establish what a good player is and what a good player isn't at this level. Agree with this. I don't know why some people seem to have it in their heads that playing in the championship is in any way comparable to playing in the premiership, and that the same level of ability is required, because frankly the gulf between the two divisions couldn't be any wider. Smith looked good against WBA and he'd look good against most of the shit in that division.

I will feel Delighted I will feel Happy I will feel Satisfied I will feel Neutral I will feel Disappointed I will feel Fuming Rubbish grammar, David.

Clearly Taylor who cost us the goal like.

If you think that's tricky you should try deciphering his e-mail address.

At least he's going to a decent club rather than Hull, but still sad to see him go.

I've seen some "surprising" thread titles in my time, but this one takes the prize by a million miles.

Possibly the worst thread on this forum ever No.

Is that a new rule? Yeah, we felt like it had been too long since we stamped our authority around here.

6 words and an entire article extrapolated about it, but does anyone know what interview that quote came from. Exactly. "It's no dream of mine" -- no shit. I'm sure every player in the squad would say the same thing, if asked... It's hardly a statement of his desire to get out ASAP.

The NE5 line was a touch of brilliance tbf James. Well done.

You're not alanshearer, you fraud, your username is wrong. Are you the Andy? No, hence the capital letter. If I was the Andy I would have called myself andy.

I have had to take a 10% pay cut due to the current climate. Surely this applies to football just as much as most other industries at the moment, probably even more so. And that is before we even move onto the fact that you got relegated. Despite of the current climate I've just had a 20% raise. Nice! Was that as a result of your goal and performance last night?

Of course not, but I have no expectation or reason to display loyalty to my employer and nor do I earn in a week what most people earn in a year. Thus my situation doesn't even border on being comparable or relevant.

I have a question; if habibbeye was offered a pay cut to stay at Newcastle for the rest of his career, and Shearer was made boss and the club showed sufficient ambition to get back into the top flight, how likely do you think it would be that habibbeye would accept said pay cut if there were financially slightly-better offers on the table from other clubs?

In all seriousness, much as we'd love to help, how many people on here do you think have owned and lost French passports? I'm an expert on such matters actually. 1 in 2971 are not good odds. He got lucky.
