I'm old.

The biggest disaster we ever had was losing Ferdinand to Spurs immediately after Shearer knacked himself - quite what Dalglish thought he was playing at I never understood.

Oh I'd just give up hope now if I were you. It will never happen. Ever. Again. Or maybe it will...you never know. That's the pure joy of supporting the Toon though, isn't it?

Not got a snowball's chance in hell of getting a work permit, by the way.

And there it goes again. Easily pleased.

Well you are American so I guess we must believe you. Felt a swelling of national pride for a bit there. As long as that's the only swelling you felt, then we're fine.

Aye. It's terribly sad for the poor lad and his family. Quite rightly, I doubt he'll be thinking about football anytime soon.

i bet they wanted to say, yes we want to him, but are scared about spurs coming in for him I bet they'd actually prefer to say something which made grammatical sense.

Rumours linking Arsenal to him though sadly. Ah Fleetwood Mac. Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies?

Pue, Hue, Barney, McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub... Dibble is a midfielder... Dibble was a goalkeeper actually.

"Turmoil" is rather an emotive term to be using really...

Completely underwhelmed by the prospect of this permawigged failure playing for us, tbh. Sorry like...but we should be getting better than the likes of this reject.

They quoted it in the Mail article. Work that one out. In the much the same way as "No news is good news", good news is no news either.

Only really ever enjoyed listening to him and Wor Bobby, tbh. Mebbes aye mebbes no Dalglish as well a wee bit, but Souness, Roeder and Gullitt always made me squirm listening to them.

Someone else (can't remember who?) on this forum was saying earlier on that KK's not the same positive guy he was first time round. I'd agree. I think he's wiser and more level-headed. And I still absolutely love the guy.

Not exactly clear how it happened but what a tragedy for the lad and his family, and everybody else involved. RIP.

These youth prospects are just toy guns. Where's the proper armoury? Where the fuck are the big guns? Where's the Sherman Tanks? We've got no defence and a shoddy midfield, and a dubious strikeforce. We have no bullets. We have no shells. We have no flakjackets. All we have is a bunch of fucking mercenary bounty hunters on the take. Where are our infantrymen? etc etc...repeat ad nauseum until Shiteam pops in for a WUM

You should hope that happens, if not then I'll bastard haunt you. And you would as well. I know that much for fucking certain!

I missed this but totally agree. We would all love to be playing brilliant football and winning every game but it's not going to just happen. We need to build on solid foundations and move forwards as a club. We've made the big step before but we haven't been able to maintain it long enough and it's gone as quickly as it's arrived. Under Keegan the first time and Sir Bobby we built something which we failed to capitalise on. We could throw money at the problem and get close to the top and just end up where we started from. I think we need to do something different this time and build from the bottom up so that we can maintain our position and then move forwards again. Will it work? No idea but I hope it does and I hope if or when we reach those heights again we're more capable of sustaining our challenge and hopefully putting something in the trophy cabinet. And for your sake, I hope you live long enough to see it all come to fruition.

This is absolutely 100% what I think too.

Being a s**** WUM can hardly be classed as a disease. It can hardly be classed as a gift, either. Certainly not in his case anyway.

Take it you're referring to Sunderland there. If so, would just like to say: That would be an improvement for Sunderland. Shiteam is actually a Spuds fan not a mackem. Same disease, different location.
