  1. You think it'll be even more than they got from beating Spurs and Liverpool?
  2. Even if we do get promoted, with Ashley it will then just be back to the soul-destroying routine of trying not to get relegated again -- trying to do (and spend) the minimum necessary to stay in the Premier League and collecting the television money, getting maximum exposure for his Sports Direct advertising etc. Short term, a season of winning games in the Championship might be a welcome change in some ways. Long-term, the misery never ends until Ashley decides he's had enough.
  3. Drunk sports fan assaults police horse. Only in America. Or not. http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-villanova-police-horse-ncaa-championship-20160405-story.html
  4. No way in hell we get 13 more points out of 8 games -- 4 wins & a draw, or 3 wins & 4 draws.
  5. Another victim of the Zika virus. Expect De Jong will be next.
  6. Not dropped from the France squad. Deschamps can't have been paying much attention.
  7. Really? Even if it says so in Savvywoman.com?
  8. 4 home wins: Bournemouth, mackems, Swansea and Palace. Not impossible by any means. We've won less than 25% of our home games so far. 3 out of 13. So not impossible but highly unlikely.
  9. Oliver Cromwell. So maybe it repeats twice.
  10. Deserts. Just one S in the middle. As in "deserve." Unless you're predicting that he'll have a fatal encounter with an apple crumble or tiramisu or something. Which I wouldn't mind at all, tbh.
  11. One group has to be the Group of Death. Pretty sure that's in the UEFA rules somewhere.
  12. I was talking to a mag on a bike yesterday. Might have been him.
  13. Suspect you meant "derisory." A derogatory bid would be something like: "Good morning, you fat, big-nosed dipshit. Newcastle United hereby offers to buy that useless piece of rubbish Florian Thauvin for 15 million pounds. Yours sincerely, Lee Charnley."
  14. Spot on. Football club management strategy straight out of Monty Python: Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. Sir Lancelot: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid. Bridgekeeper: What... is your name? Sir Lancelot: My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot. Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest? Sir Lancelot: To seek the Holy Grail. Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour? Sir Lancelot: Blue. Bridgekeeper: Right. Off you go. Sir Lancelot: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. [Crosses the bridge]
  15. Married and has a kid. According to this (gay-looking) site. http://www.kickette.com/pitter-patter-philipp-claudia-lahm-welcome-a-son/

    Loïc Remy

    Rape charge dropped? http://www.nufcfans.co.uk/2014/02/loic-remy-rape-newcastle-investigation-dropped/
  17. Xenophobic stuff from the Fairs Cup era. "You can stuff your Spanish onions up your arse" (v. Real Zaragoza) "You can stuff your macaroni etc." (v. Inter Milan) (To "She'll be coming round the mountain.") And then yorkshire puddings for Leeds.
  18. Paying half-a-crown (=12p) to stand in the Leazes.
  19. Keith Gillespie -- How I gambled away 7 million. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/gillespie-managed-blow-7m-wages-134405734.html
  20. Google "George Caulkin" and "time for explanations"
  21. Sorry. Was looking at Giggs' predictions.
  22. So in his BTSport prediction he's tipping Norwich for 18th place and relegation. Yet in today's Daily Mail he says: "Norwich City: Last season's 11th place finish for Norwich must be respected, but finishing any higher this year is highly unlikely. The relegation scrap remains a possibility, but the club's new record signing, Ricky Van Wolfswinkel, from Sporting Lisbon should be able to propel the Canaries out of the danger zone and towards the top half of the table."
