  1. 'Cos it's knee-jerk. Draw away and your nearest oppostion win. Soon enough you'll lose ground. We'll end up in the play offs if we can't win enough on the road.
  2. It's 100% the reason we aren't top tonight.
  3. Take a look at our last 2 matches and if you've an ounce of sense you'll see that the Cardiff result was actually the out of the blue shock result. What happened at Derby has been coming for a while now. Hughtons choice to play Best after his completely anonymous performance on Friday is shockingly poor. If I was Lovenkrands I'd have Hughtons office door off its hinges at 9am tomorrow.
  4. Alcoholism is a lifestyle choice not an illness. Illness is, or can be, a result of alcoholism.
  5. His Mother is a convicted shoplifter. His Father caught selling cocaine. Is it a surprise the offspring is a cunt? Would you want that cunt lifting the WC next June? Would you want wobbly gob lifting it? It's like a 'biggest cunt of the squad' competition. edit. 'cunt' being the word of the day!'
  6. Apparently so. http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/Newcastle-footballer-charged-with-assault.6051451.jp
  7. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/staffordshire/8502701.stm Shocking news. Blackburn supporters battling each other supposedly. Sorry if posted elsewhere.
  8. A captain like Roy Keane you would say is a benefit to a team. He'll kick arse of any player he thinks isn't doing their job on the pitch during a game. Michael Owen is/was just a pathetic cunt.
  9. Get a loan bid in for Beckford. Nominal fee at end of the season. He's worth nowt now to Leeds.
  10. I'd seriously open a four(teen) pack if I heard that some deadly bad news had hit Souness. A grade A cunt of the highest order. The ONLY manager (or player) that I knew would be a disaster from day one. I suspected quite a few where not good enough but have always given them a chance.
  11. If I was Wayne Rooney I'd have a paternity test, especially if the child is speaking by the age of 8
  12. Name me a more effectice midfielder at SJP in the last 30 years. Goals/assists he has no peers.
  13. How exactly are you classifying "a club like us"? ie one which not so long ago was constantly in the top 20 of the highest turnovers in the world in spite of supposed completely incompetent ownership (so obviously with a lot of room to improve it's finances), and which would certainly go straight back in the top 30 at least immediately on promotion. Which clubs has it worked for out of interest? don't confuse turnover with doing well. seems like you are forgetting the outgoings. Not at all. When run properly we have a financial advantage over a lot of teams in this country, all but half a dozen or so at the moment. We can afford higher transfer fees and wages than a lot of teams in the Premier League. There are limits of course, but just because we didn't cross the line and win the league or a cup when we were actually trying doesn't mean we should just give up and be happy to just get by as a club without any ambition other than to stay in the Premiership. This lad is proposing "a club like us" shouldn't get ideas above our station and should settle for buying a couple of cheap players on low wages a year. This is apparently the road to success, but actually it's the road to mediocrity which leads you down the path of falling attendances and reduced merchandising ending up back where we were 30 years ago. Eh??? I'm not proposing we settle for mediocrity... I'm just suggesting we have a more sensible transfer policy. I can't see any merit in us buying foreign players for large sums of money for the reasons I listed earlier. I would also prefer we didn't buy players from top 4 clubs. Yes you are. Completely. Any player over £6m who was any good would have been bought by a bigger club than us, no sorry, by a FAR bigger club than us, and they wouldn't want to play for us anyway even if we fluked into the top 4 because Newcastle's s*** so why bother. Let's just go for players who noone else wants or ever wanted (don't want any cast offs from "big" clubs do we) to avoid disappointment. What an amazing strategy for success. I'm still waiting for a list of the teams it's worked for. Because buying cast off from big clubs worked so well, didn't it? Duff, Butt, Geremi, Owen, Smith, Babayaro, Carr. They all performed and provided good value for money, didn't they? Oh wait... they didn't. As for our record of buying expensive foreign players (or players on high wages)? Martins, Luque, Coloccini, Boumsong, Viana, Kluivert, Bassedas, even Emre and Robert ffs. Even if you think that some of those foreign players are decent, they certainly were never good enough to play for a top 4 team - which is what we were aspiring to be. You think that Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal or Chelsea wanted any of them? Genuinely? So why should we go and spend huge amounts of money on them? You seem to think I am denigrating us as a club - the complete opposite. I'm suggesting we shouldn't buy players who aren't good enough for those teams. We need a better scouting network and we need to steal a march on the richer, bigger teams who will be hoovering up the good, established talent. I love the way you suggest that a strategy we haven't even tried is worse than one that's failed. Robert went a long way to securing NUFC CL football.
  14. Ashleys plan from day 1 as the court case showed.
  15. Presenter said himself "Ashley places orders THROUGH AGENTS" It'll be the agents hunting out the sweat houses and not Ashley.
  16. I noticed yesterday that Nolan had to be brought back to the dugout because he stood berating Hughton after he was taken off. He was not a happy chappy at all. Hughton cannot be disappointed with a point (although 3,200 supporters should be fucking furious) because at 5-20pm that is exactly what he set out to achieve. At 5-50pm it could and should have been game on.
  17. Getting Geremi out the door might ease the financial burden.
  18. Can't see how Spurs are going to sustain the spending they have been doing. Eventually the owners must say enough is enough. There wage bill must be astronomical. Will Harry walk away from the 4th Club to hit hard times?

    Apologies if this has already been posted. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1246900/Shay-Given-fights-agent-6m-Manchester-City-fee-Newcastle.html?ITO=1490 Proves the judas cunt was planning his exit well before the Liverpool humiliation which he more or less used as the 'straw that broke the camels back' excuse. I hope the cunt suffers a career ending injury.
  20. I'm not negative just pointing out that handing out this type of contract to this type of player is likely going to fill the squad with players who MIGHT not ever cut it in the top flight. I think 2.5 yr contracts should be the order of the day. Help us up. Earn a new contract by end of next season or be moved on. isn't that an 18 month contract then? They'd have 12 months remaining which if we sell should get some sort of fee.

  22. To players who've yet to prove they can do it in the top flight. Seems a strange way for Ashley to be doing business.
