I know he lost the ball but i thought he showed a lovely first touch there.

I knew it. Things were going too well.

Awful.

I think so.

Not only that but there isn't one post condemning what he said they just carry on as normal.

http://www.express.co.uk/football/view/280644/Support-for-Newcastle-owner-Mike-Ashley-from-unlikeliest-of-sources Freddy Shepherd is still a Newcastle fan FORMER Newcastle United chairman Freddy Shepherd celebrated his 70th birthday last night with a big party in London. It was attended by a number of football luminaries but safe to say there was no invitation for current Toon owner Mike Ashley. Shepherd was ill in hospital in 2007 when he discovered Sir John Hall had sold his majority shareholding to the sports shop magnate, effectively forcing Newcastle United-daft Freddy to sell up too. The largesse of the Hall and Shepherd era, which encompassed Kevin Keegan’s great entertainers, has been followed by the frugal financial times of the Ashley empire. After Hall and Shepherd lavished around £130million on players, Ashley followed his Sports Direct policy of pile high and sell as he placed a squeeze on spending while flogging marketable football assets like Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan. With Alan Pardew at the managerial helm, young and hungry players like Yohan Cabaye and Sylvain Marveaux were imported. I am still a massive Newcastle fan Former Newcastle United chairman Freddy Shepherd Pardew’s energised side travel to Stoke tomorrow still unbeaten in the Premier League. Around 4,500 members of the Toon Army travelled to Blackburn in midweek to witness a spectacular 4-3 defeat which seemed to belong to a bygone era. The fact that they almost pulled the Carling Cup tie out of the bag earned more praise. Some of it has come from an unlikely source, Shepherd. He admitted: “I am still a massive Newcastle fan. True to say Mike and I have not always seen eye to eye but you’ve got to give him some of the credit for what is happening this season. “I think it’s time for the fans to get fully behind him and give him a chance. After all, no one really owns Newcastle because it’s simply a football institution. “Maybe he is right in his policy and I was wrong. Maybe we gave our managers too much money to spend in the transfer market. I reckon we spent around £300m on players like Alan Shearer, David Ginola, Les Ferdinand, Tino Asprilla and Michael Owen. “Though we never won anything, it was still a great adventure for everyone connected with Newcastle. We were known all over the world. I have a photo of the day they pulled down Saddam Hussein’s statue in Iraq – there was a guy with a Toon shirt beside it. “The fans are now clearly behind Alan Pardew and the team, and if they get behind the directors the only way they can go is up.” Shepherd has been offered five clubs to buy since he left St James’ Park but added: “I am a Geordie. You can change your bank, your accountant, your wife, but you can’t change your football team.” Ex-Magpies player John Anderson watches all their games for BBC Radio Newcastle and has been impressed. “They showed real bottle at Blackburn,” said the former Republic of Ireland international. “Going into added-time 2-0 down, a lot of sides would have thrown the towel in. They got back into it with two great goals and were unfortunate to lose in extra-time. “They have a togetherness and a belief. They don’t seem to know when they are beaten. A lot of people were saying this was a big season for Alan Pardew. This is his team after coming in halfway through last season. Right now he deserves an A-plus.” Pardew revealed: “He (Ashley) wants us to be a top-10 side. Success drives him on. He does it in a way that sometimes can be brutal but my job is to manage that. “Hopefully we can be successful but we’re not going to be by paying over the odds and trying to compete with Manchester City.”

Agreed, though i would obviousely happy to see him leave.

Get in !!!

Aye, she's fit.

The striker seemed to be sharing a joke with the gorgeous Raffaella, who had been out shopping with the Italian international. We're not sure if his model girlfriend found it funny, but a male companion he was traveling with certainly did. Balotelli has been in high spirits all week after City demolished rivals Manchester United, 6-1. Some Twitter gossip even suggested the Blues forward was driving around Manchester in a convertible Bentley high-fiving City fans the day after bagging his famous brace. The former Inter Milan, who was at the centre of a fireworks controversy the night before the big derby, celebrated his first strike by revealing a t-shirt showing the words, 'Why Always Me?' Yes Balotelli, why is it always you? Read more: http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/oddballs/879792-mario-balotelli-caught-flicking-through-porn-magazine-in-newsagents#ixzz1bvGwsqh8

I would laugh but we haven't played them yet.

Yes but, there is a limit and they can raise a lot of money on their own without a sugar daddy.

The reason is because there is no eveidence that ticketless fans were the cause of Hillsborough. “Sheffield Wednesday FC’s own admission count system showed the terrace did not exceed its 10,100 capacity (for the Leppings Lane end). As part of their analysis, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) counted the number of [Liverpool] supporters entering the ground, including those through the turnstiles, through Gate C and even those who climbed over the turnstiles. They gave three admission figures based on their analysis. Their first figure was 9,267, their ‘best estimate’ was 9,734, and their third figure was a ‘maximum estimate’ of 10,124. The HSE report stated it was unlikely that the terrace exceeded 10,124 and that total admissions were approximately equal to the designated capacity of 10,100 people. Taylor surmised there was no substance to the allegation that ticketless fans caused the Disaster,” The Hillsborough Football Disaster: Context And Consequences, page 17

Anyone remember in the league cup when Tottenham and Burnley were level so the game went in to extra time and Tottenham went through on away goals even though they played 30 more away minutes than Burnley.

Great to see Hughton doing such a good job.

Don't think it was Sammy. Never mind.

Ben Arfa, doesn't he ? Could have sworn i seen him wearing Ponotofolas in another photo.
