nah- was well accepted tbh.

looked a class above anything we'd seen for a few years, just picking balls up and pulling strings , very tidy in front of the ch's

I think he will start with willow, and introduce a third ch to play for a 1-0 to either side.

Highly rated by Keegan, and always picked when fit- his career was hampered by injuries iirc. Everton really got his best years, that midfield of the mid 80s was something special- had a real soft spot for everton then. brought some great experience and leadership to our promotion and amazing 3rd place finish first season- A few lads I went with then thought with a bit more belief we could have actually won the league that season. 3 times a mackem mind. edit that was posted about brace- before the edit about nufc and came up as mira- wtf

next?

we need his threat from corners

I think theres a real chance he will start with him. sorry Mr Dave.

tended to be done aye- travel to away games must have been more difficult- no net, Tv football, even full radio commentary was rare. I worked with a toon season ticket holder early 90s, who was in his 60s then and he went to joker on our away days,. was In no doubt who he supporeted tho. I went there once to see them play Ipswich with a mate who was Ipswich fan. Aye, it was normal when I were a nipper to "want all the North East teams to do well". We all wanted sunderland to win in 73 and topple nasty Leeds. Hadn't met any mackems at that stage so didn't realise how weirdly bitter and twisted they were, like. A few years later I was left open-mouthed in shock at their rants about the Metro when it was built and the penny dropped that they had this strange village mentality and hated us for being better at everything than they were. Individually they can be OK, my next-door neighbour is one and so is the lad I sit next to at work, you just have to factor it into everything you say and do when you deal with them. It's like dealing with kids. met some canny Mackems- was working there last year- great lad used to wear a mackem badge,I kept my toon thoughts to myself -its some sort of collective inferiority mental fuck up going on.

us ? nope. seat counter- crowd prediction before every game- posting crowd figures of other clubs to discuss- crowd figures as user names or in sigs? not really seen that on here tbh.- not on a weekly basis certainly.

is there another set of fans so obssessed with attendances?

They get so worked up about it and it's something so trivial If he was a Sunderland supporter that's fine by me, however I would think he's a pretty lousy supporter if he basically lied about his allegiance the minute he got our job. Even Bruce didn't do that at their place. I can only vouch for what I know and that is that he consistently said he was a Newcastle supporter. I've never heard him say otherwise and in spite of the evidence posters on RTG talk about proving he was a red and whiter I haven't been presented with any, therefore I've got to assume he was genuine when he said he was a Newcastle supporter. he had tears in his eyes at one press conference when he got our job, telling how his dad took him to sjp and how he wished he was there to see him manage us.

Uttery bizzare people, will go to ridiculous lengths to invent a link to anything good in our history, and will then go to ridiculous lengths to discredit our achievements.

Yes it was, I've seen some poor refereeing displays go against us and that must be in my top 5. trelford mills in the top 5?

never mind that- come up with some shorter explanations ofr the poll

what a player tho, stillrekon his was one of the best debuts ive seen at SJp.

pretty much agree with that. The identity of the club- the Fans embrace every new signing whatever nationality as one of us. from Day one they are embraced, its up to them them whether they take to it.

it was like

Mackem tbh.

why cos theres a spare place for a blue team?

maybe his username is a clue.

Ashley will 1st step run the club from within its own finances, 2nd stage will be to start drawing a profit- 3rd eventually he will have paid himself back- and sell.

well that went well , its fucked all the spacing up- shorter ideas please.

If people want to make suggestions as to what each number is for- i could add them. eg 10- very likely we are going to get relegated. 9 fairly likely we are going to get relegated. 8? 7 ? 6too close for comfort 5 ?. 4 not very likely 3? 2? 1 not a chance.
