Oh, good start. We're still shit then.

Based on what I just heard on 5Live I'm more hoping for a dose of Walter Smith Syndrome.

Sack him and replace him with Terry McDermott

I predict a riot.

:iamatwat: Oh Jesus fucking Christ. So that basically means Blair is coming back too. Couldn't give a shit either way tbh.

Was that you just on BBC Radio Newcastle saying the same thing?

A perfect appointment for a club plagued by bipolar disorder - massively sentimental, possibly retrograde, but also at the same time possibly a masterstroke of genius by Ashley and Mort. No denying it's given Tyneside and fans everywhere a much needed boost to morale, but still concerned about what it will mean longer term. What does it do? *Instant morale boost *Club shop sales will be boosted *Season ticket sales will be boosted *Confirms to the rest of the footballing world that NUFC is all about the melodrama

Barton's shirt might have H.M. something on it, but it won't be H.M. Treasury. HMP

Yeah, with a free shirt and season ticket for the first supporter to find those two child benefit database CDs. O0

Would we be seeing the team wearing a strip that said H.M.Treasury instead of N.R.?

Just watching the news, says the PM and the Chancellor are considering nationalising Northern Rock. If that happened, I presume we'd lose the sponsorship deal?

I can't decide whether Houllier-Shearer suggests that Roeder's been involved, or if it's SBR, or both...but it's certianly a novel proposal...

Blasphemy. You just wait 'til ToonAmy sees this and there'll be a fatwa* (*or Christian equivalent) on your arse...

I want tangible evidence of his altruistic intentions in buying this club, delisting it and clearing its colossal debts. Otherwise, I'll just carry on thinking that all he's done is bought himself a great big rusty old classic car (bit of a banger, but much loved by its fans) and he's just going to play around with it for a while, maybe do it up a bit and then flog it on eBay... Nah, I do think he remains a bit of an enigma to us all really. What's he want with our club? Why us?

You've still got your Xmas avatar up you fucking eejit.

The real problem of course is that people are being way too picky about who should take over from Sam. I'm stunned by the ridiculously high expectations that some fans have of the future manager, whoever he may be. The sheer number of doubting Thomases attending this club is quite overwhelming. Nobody's good enough, are they? There just isn't an obvious candidate that everyone could unite around.

Why the heck did you post my internet details for? They're not yours. It's an IP range. And why did you post an IP range? To show people the effort you go to every time you log in. Class.

Genius.

Woah! You gotta be shitting me, Yorkie lad? mackems.gif

No. Fake as your mam's tan.

The power of metaphor is immense, Ridz. You choose Tomato soup. Dull as ditchwater though isn't it.

So what sort of soup do you like oh Great One?

Except they're totally different flavours of soup. One's Oxtail. The other one's Minestrone.
