Just the extra eight league games and the extra round in the League Cup. Not anymore, we enter the League Cup at the same stage as the teams in the Premiership who arn't in Europe.

Nothing to shout about really, we just start off in the league cup where we would of in the Premiership if we didn't play in europe.

Hexham is further away then what Shields is, Hexham is about 20 miles away, where as Shields is about 6. Anyway, this could either be really good for them or really bad, I don't think he has it in him to make them top 6 or anything, but enough for mid table. It really just means he has f#cked up his chance of ever becoming our manager.

It would be a bad move for Celtic, whatever happend to Billy Davis?, I'm sure he would take it.

I have the toon logo on my left upper arm, but in plain black, I've wanted it since I was 14, but didn't like how the blue banner cannot all be blue, but when I went on holiday in late 07 I got it in henna, I thought it looked great in plain black, so got it done in plain black about 4 month's later. It looks mint, better then the coloured version, but I still think the henna guy did it better. Anyway I'm thinking about getting another tattoo on my heart, and when I went to get it priced last week I also saw a tribal style seahorse and I would like that on my other upper arm as it's a signal of the city (I will have to think about it for months though, because I believe a tattoo is not something you should just get for the sake of it, you really need to know if you want one).

JJB, I'm not even going to mention Sports........

Reminds me of something I thought the other day. How come Mackems don't boycott Greggs? Because it's only us Geordies who know where it's from, noone else actually knows it from here. Also how can they boycott it, would be rather pointless since research shows that most mackems shop in Newcastle, over 60%, where as only 9% of them shop in Sunderland, I think 30% shop in the Metro Centre.

It looks like they are a building, construction, developement and also a holiday comapny based in the Dubia or some sort. The leader is a man called Hanif Shaikh.

So do I I don't think an 83 year old Swede with a semi-on for flat pack furniture would be interested in us. The IKEA-ideoligy fits last seasons squad: We accept your money, but don't care about the job or the result - help yourself...... thats so true though

So do I I don't think an 83 year old Swede with a semi-on for flat pack furniture would be interested in us. If it does come off it means he could build us a new stadium from a flat pack using only alan keys with a retro look.

I've just heard a rumour that Ingvar Kamprad is one of the two interested parties in taken over the club. I really doubt it, but do hope so. I only heard from a text from a friend of a friend who works at St James', I doubt it's true, but we can all live in hope.

+1

Just a media ploy by him, managers and players do it the time, use a team like sunderland who are interested, he says he's flatterd, some bigger club has a look, doesn't want to miss out and comes calling and sunderland sit their twiddling their thumbs. The same thing happend at Newcastle all the time, Rooney, Ronaldo (striker), Ronadlinho, and other managers.

I don't think so because we don't owe any third party, such as a bank, any money. Ashley has financed the club with his own money so we're safe from administration if that's what you mean. And we are still a very viable business for someone with just a little bit more nous than Mike f***ing Ashley. Erm, I think the whole gist of the the thread is that actually we owe Barclays quite a lot of money. Really, I thought the only bank we would be dealing with would be Northern Rock, hmmmm, and didn't Ashley transfer alot of the debt that he couldn't pay off onto Sports Direct, so we only owe them money.

Sounds like it is already under control and they are just hopeing to put it under even more control, something which every club will be doing right now.

A broadsheet wouldn't be making up direct quotes man. In my short time on this world, I have came to relise that too often the media and loads of other people take quotes out of context, and also they have a habit of refering to quotes from the past and use it when it suites them.

Sounds like more media bull to me. I mean, they have gone a few days without rubbing it in our faces, and now want to do it again, so they tell stories again. One big cheer for the media. Yes of course he will want out at some time, but I think it's still all media bull at the moment.

Go to church to avoid it?

I love the first one, it's by Adidas aswell, why didn't you give it to us?

The more I look at that Bolton top, the more I hate it. It looks like they are wearing it the wrong way around, I wounder how much the betting is that the stripes on the back go all the way up.

Rangers win the Scottish Cup, a great first half, 2nd was okay, the goal killed it off, but what a goal it was. Much better then what the English final was by reading this thread.

Told you, it's been a pretty good game aswell. Tackle on the goal keeper which allowed to go on an earned a corner, their is some good fotball and refereeing being done in this game.

WHAT A GOAL, WHAT A GOAL, Novo came on for Boyd who refused to play in the 2nd half because it's too hot scored an amzaing goal with 20 seconds of the 2nd half.

I'm watching the Scottish FA Cup final right now, and you know what, it's great. I'm watching a game where contact is being made, tackles are going in, players are being pressured off the ball, going down to legal tackles and challenges, and it's all being allowed, so different to the game we now see in England. It's great to see real football being played. Both teams are going at it aswell.

Yeah, he should just go, but obviously he's not going to, I mean if you were on £120,000 a week, and had 4 weeks left on your contract but no work to do, would you give it up?
