See where we're at when the next transfer window closes. If we get through that in good shape he can come round mine for sunday dinner. Mind the fat cunt better bring a decent bottle of wine.

To be fair to Villa i think their fans were just caught up in the "lets all laugh at Newcastle" media bullshit that had surrounded us for a year or two. Probably more actually. Ok fair enough much of the back page headlines were the clubs fault, but in a decade we'd gone from everybodys 2nd team to the arseholes of the league. Every cunt was sick to death of us. I remember being relegated previously and how much it hurt. I wouldn't wish it on anyone fans from Sunderland. A few years ago i can remember West Brom coming to SJP and (i think) actually sent them down, one of Shearers last games, and their fans were singing there's only one Alan Shearer! So to see class like that from one set of brummies, then witness the wankers at Villa Park rubbing our noses in it? Fuck them, i hope they go down and stay there.

The main thing i'm hoping for this time around is the quality of the shirt. These iron on sponsor badges obviously bring the price down but they're awful and put plenty off buying the shirt.

Aye. The weird bit for me, or at least one of them, is that of all the players we're linked with bringing in this summer i fully expect them to be a success. Whether it's left back A or left back B, the guy coming in will actually want to be here. He won't be coming here because we offered more than his first choice club. Dead simple approach to signing players, i'm just amazed it didn't happen years ago. Must be cos us delusional geordies demand big names?

Turnaround? He's still shite. Agreed. It winds me up how he works his knackers off now to beat us. Like he's got a real axe to grind with NUFC.

He's just trying to stitch Harry up.

Bubble? That old chestnut! Been hearing that for what, 8 months now?

He's dogshit.

Bit dissapointed for Krul.

I'm looking forward to a few weeks time when this thread title is changed to We will qualify for the Champions League

return of the texaco cup in other words. I wasn't even aware of that competition! I've just been reading about it on wiki, i like the principle behind it.

A few years ago i'd have said merge the league cup with scotland. Totally rediculous idea i'll agree, but it would have made it interesting. But the way the spl is now it would just be laughable. So no, leave things as they are.

I'd be happy with that in black & white for next season. So there's no chance of it happening.

Nicely done. Off topic, but you should see the place Cantona lived in when he was in Manchester, man. Literally a modest semi. Albeit in the same gorgeous area where I happen to reside. I remember seeing his house on tv. I'm guessing around the time he jumped into the crowd at selhurst park. I was actually amazed, and quite impressed that a footballer of such standing would still live in a house like my mam and dads. Re Hatem, i read the other day he's living at the jesmond dene. I'd be more hopeful of him staying if he'd buy a house in the area. Sure it wasn't the article that says he has breakfast there every morning? Ah could have been.

I thought his corners in the first few games were excellent. I remember saying thank fuck ryan taylor isn't on corners anymore.

I could be wrong, usually am.

Couldn't agree more. Calls us a "self styled big club" then spins out the old geordie expectations cliches. And at the bottom of the piece he's saying due to our stadium size and support base we're better placed than anyone for champions league football.

Since the switch to 433 Ba has spent plenty of time as the central striker, against Swansea in particular Cisse done much of the denfensive work on the left. If we stick at it and those two keep swapping duties i've no doubt at all Ba will find his form.

"they never write aboute Sess like that" :lol::lol: Oh jesus, my fucking hernia.

If we win our next two games my arse will be nipping. Because champions leage football will most likely be in our hands. As others have said, whatever happens now it's been a fantastic season. The best for a decade, but in some ways feels even better due to it's unexpected nature. We've been written off for about 8 months now and we just keep proving people wrong. Europa league will do me, be it 5th place or 6th. I just refuse to get carried away.

The last fe games i've been saying i'd take 1-0. So i'll say it again, i'd take 1-0.

The two clowns next to me slated ben arfa for the first 72 minutes, every time he got the ball he should have either passed / ran at the defender / something else he didn't do. Then when he spun rickets i said to prick #1 "we're in here". Didn't see that goal coming mind.

I've been to plenty of away games, not so much these last few years but i've never been to a really big european stadium. So yes, bring it on!

If Pards can turn Obertan into a decent footballer it'll be a fucking miracle. Beyond a miracle. It would make Jesus look like an amatuer.
