We might get beat, and maybe quite badly, but it won't be because we're scared or we don't work hard. Never said we were scared or wouldn't work hard. Fair enough, I just read that into "freeze".

Well, a Spanish word possibly used by a Uruguayan against a Frenchman in England, I haven't got a clue. As far as I'm concerned, if you say racist things then you are being racist. Whether that makes you A RACIST I don't know or care, as that's a pointless judgement anyway. IMO we all have tribal and instinctive reactions against people who are different from us, that's normal. The mark of civilisation is that we can use our reasoning minds to correct ourselves before we actually act on these in-built and perfectly natural prejudices.

If it's similar to the word "nigga", then no white player should be using it to refer to a black player unless they know them very very well and the use is well established in their group, particularly if they are opponents in the heat of a big game. Whether or not Suarez was just ignorant-racist or deliberate-racist I don't know, FWIW I think the former is "better" than the latter, in that at least I didn't know he was abusing someone.

I can imagine Shola in the Carlton role as well.

Hope Saylor and the Ameobis host a 'Geordie day', with stotties and bottles of brown ale and stuff. Probably at the end of the season like.

Everyone can see both sides of the argument. I know that the stadium renaming will bring in money that the club could do with (assuming we get paid anything) but I just don't accept that's a good enough reason for the change. Pardew's irrelevant to the renaming argument TBH, the best he can do is deal with the questions in the most general and vague way he can. It's really nothing to do with him.

I certainly don't. Nobody knows obviously, but I can't see a mythical brand suddenly coming out of the woodwork to pay Mike Ashley the money he wants. I think the inevitable outcome is SD as stadium and shirt sponsors.

Well the point that he has aggravated an injury that has been a problem in the past remains. The same goes for Santon. Do you actually know that he's aggravated an old injury, or that Santon has? You seem to be taking a weird pleasure in Marveaux's injury.

He would help a lot in the Man City game, but the following two are far more winnable. If he's doubtful, leave him out, accept our footballing abuse from Man City and hope he's firing for Man Utd and Chelsea.

This is weird.

Stephen Taylor has the eyes of a serial killer, not a rapist.

I guess that's why they're called realistic.

Why not just stop the messing around and give him a 20 year contract now, and one for his first-born son? We know that Ameobis will forever be associated with Newcastle Utd. I can't wait until Shola is manager.

Can't see any other outcome than Sports Direct on the shirts for next season ATM. The effect on shirt sales will be horrendous I would have thought.

Same, it seems like an age since we played last.

The ignorance that leads to statements like that is staggering.

Great thread that. I've always been grateful that we've grown SJP from the original stadium, and kept it on the same site. It really gives it a sense of history that many modern stadiums lack. Hopefully the renaming won't mess with that.

Wahey!

Ah right, I don't know the details of that scheme, can't really remember it. Still, I think, barring unprecedented European success, SJP as it is is big enough for us.
