Can't believe you're not even happy that we're unbeaten this season like.

FOYS

Do Sky always pan around the crowd at such length before kick off? Was a really nice touch there, made me gutted I wasn't there.

Easily one of the best players around when he's fit and on-form like, Van Persie. He'll get injured soon though.

Ah I see. Cool, not a big deal, I'll keep an eye on it. It's happening in both Chrome and Firefox btw, pretty sure I've had similar issues on IE at work, bit weird. Cheers.

Why can't I see the pictures in this post? http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,68418.msg3276670.html#msg3276670 I right click the icon and open the image in a new tab and get this message: I wouldn't mention it but this same thing seems to be happening quite a lot since the change. Perhaps it's only happening when the pic's hosted in the place above, I dunno.

That's a fucking backpass man, howay.

Ah man, why couldn't that Van Persie effort have gone in, fantastic stuff.

cut out the parts which deal with the 'level of ambition' or whether or not we've brought enough enough of the right kind of players - on reflection, I think I was trying to highlight how we're now managing to hit with the majority of our transfers (very few reds, mostly amber/green). Could even look at other Premiership clubs over a similar period and see how successful they have/haven't been - I don't have the info to hand but my hunch is that several of our competitors are still bringing in talented but unsuitable players along with "name" players who don't bring the improvement in performance that their wages and transfer fee suggest. You cut out the bits that you didn't agree with. I started to quote a few of the arrogant, patronising quotes you've made in your "own thread" and couldn't be arsed anymore, there were too many and I got bored. It's almost as if you've become over-excited at the only decent post you've made in 2 years and reacted to every reply like a know-it-all egomaniac, it's a real shock.

The ego on you in this thread's hilarious, and this post sums it up.

Despite all the money in the game the players's wages have gotten out of hand now. I don't necessarily blame Sky because clubs could have used the Sky money for anything they wanted - training facilities, scouting, youth, stadium, community work - but they're stuck with average players on £50k+ a week and are panicking in case their turnover decreases. I was always against a wage cap, mainly because it's difficult to enforce in continental football really, but something needs to be done here.

Big lack of £35m transfer fee talk in this thread, I'm surprised. Summer just gone was the first summer in a while when we appeared truly lively and pro-active in the transfer market (I presume because of the 'money in the bank') and we still shipped a lot of players out and left gaping holes in our squad, leaving us pretty vulnerable imo. We do appear to be being a bit smarter with the players we bring in though without a doubt, ensuring they fit the bill financially, culturally, etc. I'm all for that and I think they've done incredibly well getting the likes of Cabaye and Tiote in. Players like Obertan, Gosling, Santon and Marveaux are bigger risks due to injury/form/fitness/etc though, and it's very easy to go on like things are hunky dory after 7 games. There are holes in our squad that WILL get badly exposed barring a minor miracle, I'm half hoping that the injuries and suspensions come in mid to late December to force our hand in the transfer market in January, as that's the least painful time it could happen and Ashley seems to like to try his luck in this regard if things are going vaguely well or we're basically surviving. But yes, we appear to be putting more thought into the players we bring in and that's great. It fucked me off when we used to spunk a fortune on a player like Albert Luque without any thought on the mentality of the player, how he'd fit into the dressing room, and how he'd fit into the team. More Tiotes, more Cabayes, more keeping your best players, and I'm happy as we're moving in the right direction but I do think we could show more ambition with the level of spending and ensuring that key positions are covered so that we can make a real go of it in all competitions.

They should just get it over and done with, it's been on the cards long enough. The arrogance of the 'top' clubs just takes the piss now, getting very fed up with it.

Sometimes wish the European Super League idea would take off.

Fuck off bagpipes.

Have you done a leg count? A head count? An arm count? Was he breathing? Looked fit as fuck mate.

He has good intentions for himself, nobody else.

Scotland are out of the ambulance and on their way back down to the premiere, their lives in tatters, blood everywhere, but with new-found hope and a spring in their step.

Scotland have woken up! And they're asking to get out of the ambulance!

San Marino only has a population of 31,918. Andorra 84,082. It's completely ridiculous.

Scotland have just walked into a door in the premiere and split their head open, they're unconscious and on their way to casualty in an ambulance. Only hope now is if Megan Fox saw it and tracks them down to give them a sympathy shag. The chances are looking remote, and the girlfriend's changed the locks.

Scotland managed to sneak their way into the actual premiere and have got their eyes fixed firmly on Megan Fox. Unfortunately it seems that 2 of her entourage are looking at them suspiciously - if another couple get involved then they're finished and out the door. Meanwhile the wifey's texted "Where the fuck are you, I've heard you're trying to shag Megan Fox. Well 1. You've got nee chance, 2. I don't like that, 3. Don't come home you twat". It's not looking good and it will take a miracle to turn things around here.
