Happy Face

Yes that's the real issue here. Everyone else gets the book thrown at them except Man U and good old fergie Which other managers have been done for it like? Serious question. I remember Jose giving some fans a bit of lip, did he get done?

Gascoigne was the single greatest English player of the last 30 odd years. Beardsley was one of the other talented ones. Anyone voting the other way is over romanticising things.

Anyone who complains about getting the finger wants to look at their lives. Same people who probably sat there giving the bloke a constant stream of abuse for the whole game.

To be honest I couldn't get to many games when I jumped on the original Keegan bandwagon. I was at school (13) and couldn't afford many tickets which you had to queue from 7am to get hold of anyway. I must have went to about half the home games each season from 93/94. As soon as I went into employment in 2000 (and expectations were low enough for me to jump up the waiting list) I got a Season ticket and haven't missed a home game since, so I'm more of a Robson bandwagoner. I've certainly been to more miserable games than entertaining ones anyway. Hard to believe it's my 15 year anniversary this year.

I couldn't take all the credit, other people have helped keep the club afloat too.

It is strange Rob that people haven't realised the inflation that has hit quality player prices. As I said earlier decent players with good potential now start at 8-10 m. Good mid-range players of international quality are 10-15m ...and as you say real quality start at 15-20m plus..You're Mascherano etc... yes true The difference being Rob's saying we need to spend that to challenge the top 4. Parky said we need to spend it to challenge West Ham. If anyone thinks we should be pushing for a top 4 place next season, they're VERY optimistic.

I tell you what....I would love it.

I'd be more inclined to believe an account of WW2 by Joseph Goebbels.

Are any of the reasons given so far specific to the North East? Personally I think poverty breeds the best players. The North East and Scotland being the last places to have it eradicated (to a significant extent).

In a choice between Aids and Syphilis, 99% of people chose syphilis. Ronnie Gill headline "99% of people say 'Give us syphilis'"

Like I sait on TT, it would be like going back with that gorgeous mad bitch who was the best lay of your life. You know it's a mistake, but fuck it. Can't see why people are so dead against it given the alternatives. ...and no, Mourinho IS NOT an alternative.

We've been bottom of the league before.

Put it in perspective mate. We're a deflated, managerless team in a season that's going nowhere and with a team that is likely gonna be revamped entirely over the next year or so. To all intents and purposes, this match was meaningless as it was always gonna be a walk in the park. The 5-0 was a much hyped top of the table clash between the two best teams in the league at the time. The two don't even compare. It is, but i've got a manc mate, who i've kept at bay for over 10 seasons with one results, no come back 6-1, well we scored one you cunt, what the fuk did you do oat 5-0? Shut up up glory hunting prick. It was his birthday night out as well today, how fuking heart breaking is that? Nothing, i've got nothing to say any more, that one little thing i had taken a fuking way. I'm gutted, totally gutted, i cant even begin to think about the shite i'm going to have tp put up with from noe on, i knewo me team wont do jack shit to sort it out ofro me. Cunts. Just remind him that we've put 7 past them 3 times ..twice at their place.

It is funny that any coverage of Newcastle goes on about our desparation for trophies, as if all the other clubs just take part out of sportsmanship and their fans don't mind winning fuck all.

Enrique kept Ronaldo at bay for the first half. He had to go to the other side to start getting success. Stupid bitch.

If football is like sex, a blow job is a trophy, nice, but not the be all and end all. We're celibate at the moment though and just a dry hump would be nice.

If we're not a big club, why all the column inches? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...3/sfnpad113.xml http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/01/...ing_kemsle.html http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle3177770.ece http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle3168442.ece http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/comment/article3333824.ece

Why the fuck do they persist with goal of the month?

So I suppose my 8 or so away games this season makes me a paltry part time fan? MY opinion is that Shearer should be nowhere near the managers seat. Well if you are so against shearer then who do you suggest is going to take over this absolute shower of shite?! Does your opinion matter more than other fans? Who would I suggest? Houllier, Lippi, Mourinho or Hitzfeld for a start. If clubs like Birmingham have the balls to approach managers like these, then why not us? And look a laughing stock when refused and end up with McLeish? Maybe we could ask them, then get Strachan because Shearer's happier in a job where his bosses want him there.

With Smithy being sent off, as he was in the changing room we missed him as he is the the best clapper at the club. Milner is usually giving it some, shame on him. Obviously we missed Beye & Barton who are solid dependable clappers as well. Taylor is a weasel.

Was Allardyce told by the press, or was he asked not to say anything to the press until the club had released the joint statement? I think it was the latter really. When asked about it directly he just had to check if he was allowed to confirm it imo.

They've said they want an experienced man. Can't see it being Shearer.
