Incognito

Is Stevie,the old fella who Sky's cameras always sought out still alive?I met him once before our 5-1 victory at Coventry in 1998 in the pub oppostie Highfield Road-he said to me."Haway fatty ,buy me a drink!"He missed his lift home and I blagged him a lift home with one of our directors in a Jag.Don't know who-think it was Dougie Hall.Gullit wouldn't let him on the team coach and he sent Lionel Perez out to tell us.Wanker.Stevie was about 80 then.

Basil Boli? He's the animal who head butted Stuart Pearce once!

Glad to see he did score ,somewhere after his injury in Germany.

I'd have made him watch Rangers personally.

Room for the Scouse Benny the Ball now.

What happened to Gennoe like? Retired due to persistent back problems. Should have stayed,we're always dodgy around the back.

Fuckin' Gary bastard Bennett....poncing around with his chest pushed out pigeon like afterwards,as i'm from Coventry,Gary Bennettt is the reason i love David Speedie.One of the few home town players i've ever liked.

I would be pissed if sam does that,no way in hell Jaaskelain is any where near as good as Given!Pissed of Givens out,Harpers not in the same league as Given!For all you idiots whose saying Given should not being playing where have you being for the last 4 or 5 seasons?? Yeah i totally agree ,he's probably saved us at least 10 points a season.Which is scary considering last years finish.

The mackem defeat still rankles with me.

Ruel Fox's debut at Selhurst Park against Wimbledon where we lost 4-1 or 4-2.We were wank especially Hooper in goal.Dunno the score, we'd fucked off at 80 mins and we scored late on,Pedro i think.Also Alzheimers fuelled by beer doesn't help matters.Game was circa 1993 or 94.

That would up-set a lot of locals. I rate Jussi very highly but Given had been better over the years imo. Out of the 2 ,and i think we all agree on this that over a season Shay will be more consistent and betterb than Jusi but that on their best days,Jussi can be better than Shay.Just that Jussi makes more fuck ups per season than Shay who i wouldnt swap for anyone tbh.

Definitely better than Robinson, ya? Anyway, good chance again for Harper As is Def Leppards drummer tbh.

Wheres Ameobi?

do you consider Mark Hughes a success at Blackburn? do you consider Boothroyd a success at Watford? do you consider redknapp a success at Pompey? yes juries out yes. would you consider them to be good managers had they managed poorly for the previous 12 years more often than not,not seeing out a full year in charge of the club they were in charge of ? How can the jury be out on Boothroyd when he has already lead a team that were predicted to at the most reack the top half of the table to a promotion and are currently top of the championship? cos they also got relegated and this season has a long way to go. is allardyce a success at nufc cos we are doing better then we were before he came ? Totally different as Boothroyd as achieved a promotion and Allardyce hasnt actually achieved anything YET. allardyce got notts county and bolton promoted. And is a successful manager in the fact that he made Bolton punch well above their weight for 4 or 5 seasons.Ok no trophies but to get Bolton to where they were when he left is a massive success.

Seems to me Ramos is due a failure,much as Jacques Santini was.Wishful thinking maybe.It will be hard to get Spurs into the European places from where they are.Top 6 in England,when at the moment they according to league position just scrape into the top 6 in London.

in 88 when Monaco played us in a friendly I was dying to see the young Gazza play against Hoddle, clearly the southern poofter wouldn't stand a chance. Hoddle took him apart, vision, control, awareness, everything. Gazza looekd like the kid he was. Gazza was ulitmately better, but not that night 1987 Gazza played against Hoddle and embarrassed him at SJP. Gazza played him off the park in a very important game for us. Mind you Hoddle scored early on iirc. From that game on Gazza's form was the best I have seen from any player. There again he did it to most. I stood in the Kop when we got beat 4-0 and Gazza had a blinder. He played them on his own, people were drooling about him (over my back as I found out when I left the ever so friendly, loveable scouse shithole). Steve Williams at Arsenal was a force back then too and Gazza was in a different league to him. He may have been a kid in fact he was. I also saw Gazza play in the Youth cup final at Watford in 1895 and he dominatee the whole game. IMO Hoddle was a poser with talent, but Gazza imposed himself on games I dont think you can compare the two-Hoddle was clearly a better passer of the ball,whereas Gazza could beat players with a trick.Both were superb set piece takers though.

Kid on left saying,"I think he was in On the Buses" Or we hail Nissan Main Dealer!!!!He saved us!!!!!

But they are mackems,with the merest touch of Emerald,far be it from me to cast aspersions.Or flock the amickted as some might say.

Rename this thread to Mackems reduce...... glass eyes to tears of laughter.Why reduce Villas tickets,that game will hardly be a sell out.Can understand us and Man U,as they will sell out whatever but Villa.Villa have a good away support and this will cost the thick twats a few quid.They must be mental.

By history ,i can see Ramos managing Spurs,Arsenal ,West Ham and QPR by 2012.

Hoddle took him apart, vision, control, awareness, everything. Gazza looekd like the kid he was. Gazza was ulitmately better, but not that night Similar players definitely. To be fair,Hoddle is the best i've seen in my lifetime in the flesh.Beckham couldn't lace his boots.What a passer of the ball,and as for dead ball situations.A great video to watch is BBC,s 101 Greatest Goals.Hoddle scores about 5.The one at Watford circa 1984 where he back heel turns and chips the keeper inside a crowded penalty area is the best i've ever seen.

Football in the days of standing terraces etc was better than now johnny, thats the main difference. It was great seeing those individual players, but believe me, supporting Newcastle now is watching a far better club than those days. You will grow up and talk about Shearer, Rob Lee, Ginola, Sir Les and the title challenge in 1996. People of my age never had anything like that. It is less of a working mans game now, and so has suffered. Those players were players who were closer to the public than too many players now. Hear hear,and that comes from a man who lives 250 odd miles awy from the team i've supported since i was 5,and watched them in the flesh twice a season if i was lucky

It works both ways mate,you never saw Glen Keeley either.God if you thought Titus was bad!!!!!!!!!!

David may better than Shearer then? :parky: Mick, I always thought that too as he is from Sunderland but his dad (mother a mackem) was a mag and 'swayed' him and his brother to supporting Newcastle. Ridiculous comparison tbh. A fine reponse to a daft, and flawed, method of assessing ability tbh Cheers pie,good of you to see the error of your ways
