This board is fucking shocking sometimes. :-[

Heeeeeeeeeeero!

I'm not a drinker, but I'll be watching this in The Saluatation in Tynemouth, and I'll be getting fucking rat-arsed either way. Howay the lads

A hiding from the mackems? Where are they in the table again? Struggled against Fulham, at home.

I find that funny on so many levels! blueyes.gif Care to expand on that? O.k. Firstly, the jibe about "intelligent" scousers is just a lazy, ignorant unfunny attempt at humour by playing on prejudices amuses me (almost as much as when your fans sing "sign on, with a pen in your hand" without any sign of self awareness for the social deprivation on Tyneside). Secondly, the person held up as "intelligent" recently stubbed out a cigar in someones eye - but that's alright because as long as he stops assaulting people then he should be your next captain. You (or many of you) slag off Owen because he dared to say that he wanted to sign for Liverpool instead of you and yet a man that has played a grand total of half an hour is held up as the type of player that you want at your club. As an outsider looking in, it seems that as long as players/staff talk about the "toon army" being thew best in the world, or newcastle being a "huge" club then they are allowed to take the p*** (Shepherd/Hall/Bellamy/Dyer/etc) but when you have someone that doesn't want to play that game (Owen) then he should be ejected from the club asap. That, is why I smile.. How does the 'social deprivation' on Tyneside (which one, north or south?) compare with other parts of the country?

Is it?

Happiest I've seen Newcastle fans at the match for years. 9 goals in the last three home games.... snorefest

Do you actually support Newcastle? Im not gonna say oh we will hammer them when i truly believe we wont, if we do ill be loving it if we dont ill be like meh i expected this. Spurs will be looking to start their season, we are rivals of theirs now in terms of league positions, and in those terms the games for us against them and vice versa are probably are most important games of the season for both sides. If both teams had similar form then anyone could win but Spurs having such bad form says to me that us being Newcastle that they will come here and win. Im hoping that SJP will play in our favour and we will win but i sadly cant see it. Im just being honest. Spurs will not come to SJP and get three points.

Do you actually support Newcastle?

i think you'd be delighted if the club folded as we'd never get beat again I have no problem with NUFC losing games as long as the effort both on and off the pitch is 100% Are you on smack? Proper WUM

Howay Baggio, your predicting a defeat to the scum :-[ ? Not confident at all, Rocker. They seem to have got themselves difficult to beat and the way we've been playing away from home lately I think we could struggle there. I hear you. Just don't like the look of it in text

Howay Baggio, your predicting a defeat to the scum :-[ ?

See ya

Why are people complaining he's saying this? Beggers belief

and they all lived happily ever after, the end...

Had a dream Anelka scored a goal for us the other night

Was taken to a few I can't remember at an early age, but the first game I remember going to alone (or with my mates) was the 1-1 draw against Leeds at St James in 1998. Leeds scored very late on, and Ketsbaia equalised for us in the dying minutes of the game.

Horray!

At half time I put a tenner on no fourth goal to be scored. Fingers firmly crossed.

I've got to say - as an outsider - most of you are f****** nuts!! Barton has played a grand total of 0 minutes for you and he's a hero because he's had a pop at your best player?Honest to God, you're not easily swayed in the slightest are you? hasn't it occured to you that he and his agent (and btw, those two deserve each other) have sat down and thought "right, i've done f*** all for the club that has just spent millions on me but they're all having a go at Owen - if I do the same then I'm guaranteed a cheer when i eventually make it onto the pitch". Seems to have worked an' all Before Owen joined you he stated publicly that he'd rather have come back to Anfield, however your chairman decided to spend £5m more than Liverpool had provisionally agreed with Madrid in order to force Owens hand - either he spent another year on Madrids bench (despite having the best goals - to - minutes ratio in Spain) or he joined you with a clause in his contract(that Shepherd at the time denied - not like him to lie to Newcastle fans, was it?) that said he could rejoin LIverpool (or anyone in the top 4) if they offered £12m. You knew that at the time, and yet you still were tricked by Shepherd into vturning up to greet/.emotionally blackmail Owen. D'you know what? I hope he does go in Jan - then all you silly f****** who are demanding he leaves may get your wish to see the full development of Martins Whos demanding he leaves? Personally, I don't have a problem with Owen. Nor do I have a problem with what Joey Barton said. Sorry, and do the 20k thousand (mostly children), who turned up to 'emotionally' blackmail Owen, represent the entire population of Newcastle fans? The majority of Newcastle fans were worrying about our defensive failures at the time, not gawping at Owen. See, this is the problem with people looking in from the outside, they only see the minority extreme opinions, not the sensible majority opinions, like the folks that turn up at the gate week in week out.

Oh for that in the first team! Whats his technique like? Quite young too? Got a canny technique, often beats his man. Reminds me a lot of Bellamy style, running at players and the like. Whats his position? Striker. Think he will make it? Fingers crossed. Played on the wing for long stretches last year, has he been put up top for good?

Ah right :thup: Nick, you didnt seat in my seat today and say ' this seat is fucking class' like you normally do, it was becoming a good luck ritual! Anyone think that the hulkamania ear cupping gesture from Owen was in response to the boo's which may or not have been directed at him?

Aye, I had bought me mate ticket on me card last week, I was picking it up for him. You see me, obviously?

Loved the Emre chant at the game today 'Emre Emre Emre Emre, Emre Emre, Emre Emre Emre Emre, Emre Emre' * To the 'ole ole ole ole' tune.
