Ashley probably brokering a deal with Toon and Slazenger for the next 10 years supply of kits..... :frantic:

Retrospective or Retrospectively Thanks........ logged for future usage!

Newcastle United should write a letter of complaint that we have been dealt with in a completely different manner to that how Man Utd were treated. While I don't disagree that both Barton and Willi should have been red carded for their offences, I also think Rooney should have been. If Clattenberg did see it properly, he would surely have red carded him. If the FA accept that he saw it and acted in a way he deemed to be appropriate he should be given a couple of weeks in the lower leagues as a punishment. As should the useless lines man who gave Bowyer offside in the first few minutes of the Carling Cup Final! Officiating standards seem to be getting worse all the time!

I am good at giving people the chance to do that! It is what I come on here for!

Posthumous probably does mean after death but, I couldn't think of a word that meant after the event or something... Did you not know what I meant?

Following our recent two incidents that resulted in pothumous bans for Newcastle players, Barton and Williamson, for incidents in games that would have been red cards had the referee seen them blah blah! Wayne Rooney has escaped a posthumous red card for his amazing elbow attack on a Wigan player at the weekend. Mark Clattenburg wrote in his post match report that he had seen the incident and deemed it only worthy of a quiet word in the players ear! Unbelievable!

I agree that it is pretty much nailed on that he will be leaving in the summer, especially if Real or Barca come knocking, plus that would lead to the lad getting into the Spanish national set up as well..... You can't blame him! Think he should sign a new contract anyway though - just to make sure we get a decent fee when he does go. Not too much to ask.

I saw Lee Sharp out just before Christmas is a bar in Chappel Allerton near Leeds.

I have just done a very RTG thing and made myself laugh in the process... On facebook there is an advert that seems to appear on every page that I go on called "Sunderland Bucket List" or something like that and it is, apparently, a list of things you must do in Sunderland before you die (of boredom). I clicked to remove the advert and a second graphic came up asking why I had removed it and one of the options was offensive and I couldn't resist. Apparently Facebook take this sort of thing very seriously and build up a profile over time that will stop them from allow such content to appear on their pages......... I actually let out a little laugh to myself as I did it... I am truly sad!

Just watched the highlights (again) on MoTD on my Sky+. That Tiote goal........ I am smiling just thinking about it.

Albania on Wear........ haha.

I think it is fair to say that the author of that incredibly well written piece really doesn't like Joey Barton does he? "Barton's disgusting challenge" - when referring to the incident that lead to Diaby being issued a red card. I can only assume that he has not seen the incident yet, in the same way that Wenger never sees anything! If there had been the slightest thing wrong with the way Barton went for the ball then the FA would have been all over it by now, and you can guarentee that they will have looked at it several times to make sure there was no chance of issuing another postumous red card to one of our team of little savages. Personally the way Barton conducts himself in the game now is admirable and testament to a man who is trying to change!

The Martin Jol one is pure class!!

The amount of clubs that get linked to MON is verging on ridiculous, every time there is vacancy up pops his name yet, he never is employed.... Is it not possible that he is happy just not working anymore and maybe we won't see him at any club as manager ever again?

Really! My neighbour would probably top himself if this is true. You better keep an eye on him then.... suicide watch!

Please let the Steve Bruce leaving rumour be true! That would make a pretty decent week even better............

Aye, great news - always liked Carver. He will do for me!!

It would be quite funny, if after all this talk and SMB meltdown, that the deal to Villa falls through, I heard on the radio this morning that Sun'lun are holding out for £20m minimum for Bent. How could he return to the club after this if they fail to do a deal for him over the next 14 or so days? Read on SMB that Bent is, apparently, a very sensitive man and takes personal critisism very badly. After reading some of their comments about him today he must be suicidal. I hope he isn't left on his own in that Birmingham hotel for too long...............

Latest RTG thread countthey are up to 15 related threads on the first page!!

Maybe the end of Heskey as well?

Four (4) separate threads running on RTG about this, Do they each think they are breaking the news? Really need to read what is already on there before adding more of the exact same........... Edit - make that 7 or 8 related threads?? Edit 2 - their server has gone into meltdown and kicked me out due to too many users currenty on-line!!

Very interesting insight into how our club is running. No doubt that while Ashley is making huge errors in judgement he is a pretty astute business man and has a clear plan to take this club out of deby, albeit most of the debt is now owed to him personally - the fact that this is interst free is helping the club recover from years of being run so badly. It is clear that without Ashley we would be as good as insolvent. The only way we could survive without this man at the helm is for some uber wealthy idiot to come along and plough in millions and I mean 100's of millions into the club in the vain hope of receiving some sort of entertainment in return. It will be quite some time, if ever at all before we are the type of club that attracts wealth in the same way as clubs like Man Utd and Chelsea can.

Tiote heard saying afterwards: "If he isn't gonna fuck ya, I will"

With or without Allardyce the words "attractive football" and Blackburn Rovers" just don't seem to go together!

Obvious to me that Mariner was intimidated by Chelsea and Drogba, to the point where I would say that he was not the man to handle matches with that team on the field. Howard or Webb would have booked Drogba for that without a second thought, while the pair of them are true cunts at least they have balls for the big decisions. It is insane that Drogba was allowed to continue without even a word from the ref following that dive. Follow that with at least two deliberate hand balls, one resulting in a goal that fortunately was disallowed (because the linesman saw it).
