Im just thinking, it wouldnt be much of a chase. A high-speed Carr Chase?

Bryan Ashton > Dean Ashton But seriously, Dean Ashton should only be signed as a last resort.

Ashley has shown f*** all yet. The fact that Ashley has been silent on the public front can be nothing but good in my opinion. Showing up in the away end means he is getting the fans on his side (although he hasn't fooled Crumpy Gunt yet) and his silence in the media is positive. Shepherd branding the women of this city as dogs or whatever just made the fans hate him, and blame him when things went wrong. Ashley's silence merely means he is trying to run the club in a quiet, efficient way. He also must be switched on enough to realize we get enough media attention without him giving interviews and risk drawing more criticism from the media hounds.

It makes for a great story today, but I'm sure they're very aware of what needs to be done. They'll probably keep Windass on, if only for the sentimentality, but as a backup I reckon.

Yeah, they seemgingly love loaning crap strikers... Aliadiere, Camara, Kepa, Bellion... not a great list!

Avram Grant isn't that clueless surely?

Obviously forgot to explain this to our squad.

Portugal, 8/1, Ladbrokes. Get on NOW! Got me a tenner on that and a tenner on Germany at 7/2. Also stuck a fiver on Mario Gomez top goalscorer. And I have Holland in the sweepstake at work.

Fat Sam to cringe everytime one of the two sides plays a pass to feet.

What time does this kick off? Might have a listen on fivelive.

This. Edgar should go on a 3-month loan to the Championship next season. one of the promoted clubs would make more sense, see what he's made of...they'd bite our hands off at a utility defender like him surely? doubt he'd get 1st team football at any of the clubs tbh This. Wonder if Carroll might get farmed out short-term to a promoted club? Stoke might want him instead of Shambles Ameobi.

Yeah, Switzerland here we come!

If we don't sell Ameobi this should really be his last of chances - people said this season was his 'last chance' but he wasn't really played when he WAS fit, so it would be unfair to damn Shola due to the fact Allardyce sung his praises in the press then played Carroll ahead of him. I do think he should be given a more prominent role than he was given under Allardyce - and the fact that Premierleague teams are allowed to name seven subs should mean he'll be in and around the first "18" as it will now be without restricting the progress of Carroll too much.

I am convinced that Crumpy Gunt is a Londonder being forced to support Newcastle by a gun-wielding psycopath, as he seems to enjoy no part of the matchday experience or generally being a fan of the club. In other news, people cheer the team onto the pitch.

Steve Gerrard, Gerrard, He tells the ref which card, Steve Gerrard, Gerrard, Also I wish AIDS upon anyone who does that fupping stupid Soccer AM "easy, easy" clap on a matchday. Utterly crap.

I gave Mick a mention in that thread about the drunken mackem and ethnic cleansing, leave him alone man.

Great news in terms of us being able to sign a few of their players. Otherwise a crap decision from Thaksin. Let's have bids in for Petrov, Bojinov and Dunne.

He started KK's first game in charge against Bolton, although I can see how you missed that, due to him being utterly anonymous.

And during every one of the Setanta games featuring Newcastle, it was Les Ferdinand against the world. And the commentators are all utter utter cuntsticks. Every time Rooney/Ronaldo/Tevez/Barton touched the ball he would utter "AND COULD THIS BE A FOURTH/FIFTH/SIXTH FOR MANCHESTER UNITED???"

I certainly hope not, he's an alreet poster.

I saw Andy Carroll and his rather fit girlfriend in Seashells chippy about 2 weeks ago, he was getting garlic sauce and chips. Fair play to the lad. He's about my height as well, great fashion sense too. Nice car, big black Jeep with tinted windows.
