Agreed. Complete overreaction and knicker-wetting by the usual suspects.

Can't wait to hear The Don and Charlie Meths try and spin this one.

Scored on his debut then sacked off after only 4 games IIRC. I went out with his cousin for a couple of years, who worked at Newcastle University........she said he was a right arrogant prick and couldn't stand him.

Andersson was a weird one, I think Shearer even recommended him to Daggers as an ideal strike partner, played for Milan and cost reasonable money for the time (around 3.5m?). Missed Clarke and Rafferty, before my time. What about Shinton? Wasn't he top scorer one year with about 4? 80-81 season, which was about as grim as I've ever seen us, he finished top scorer with 7. I had a badge which I bought in the Kard Bar that said 'Bobby Shinton's more slippery than a frog's belly'. Great times. The great man himself used to come down my street every Wednesday in his sponsored Ford Escort, to drop his pools money off at the Littlewoods agent in our street. How times have changed.

Ray Clarke, Billy Rafferty, Frank Pingel & Rob McDonald were different level shitness compared to Joselu. Then you've got some of the nowhere near good enough yound lads that didn't make the grade....Paul Brayson, Anth Lormor and Steve Howey etc, although he made an excellent defender eventually. Modern days I'd say de Jong, Riviere and Ranger were all far inferior to the Hoss. Honorable mentions to Kuqi, Smith and Andreas Andersson.

It's quite beautiful how it's all gone to shit since Catt's penna miss at Wembo......our survival under Rafa Beneathus has seemingly tipped a few of them over the edge if RTG is anything to go by. Nice. :lol:

Decent weekend of football, all things considered.

Who’s clueless? Quite a lot of our fans. They turn up pissed, constantly looking at their phones/checking their bets, boo players with little or no understanding of the game. Worse still, their online equivalents, who've literally never been to a game in their life. You must have seen them?

I just love it when certain players (or indeed the manager) make some of our 'fans' look like the absolutely clueless knackers they are. Beautiful.

Charnley's weapons-grade horseshit about the training ground, is an obvious and public rebuttal of Rafa's demands, almost certainly because he's too cowardly to say it to his face. Rafa tried his very best, but he is done here........enjoy his last couple of games folks, I'm certainly going to enjoy watching the club implode afterwards. Burn baby burn.

Hahahaha, get in.

Get up Ajax.

Oh dear.

Lovely.

I wanted Ipswich to win the UEFA Cup in 82, but apart from that, always want the non English team to win. Was in a bar in Sydney when Liverpool won the CL in Istanbul, and the place was going crackers with non LFC English fans jumping around, I remember being the only fan who was absolutely gutted. Just don't understand it.

Dear god man, have a word with yourself!

£300M for Newcastle is a bargain! But I think the price has gone up to a minimum of £400M now. Still I think with the potential the club has it's not a bad buy even for £500M. The price ashley wants is at least a £1 more than anyone wants to pay. People need to start cottoning on to that. He isn't leaving. EVER! AHKM.

All in all, a thoroughly agreeable weekend of association football. Might get absolutely leathered tonight to celebrate.

Very much this.

What a wonderful man.

It's amazing how they rewrite history about their sewpa hard fans, as I went to a few games at Roker in the 80's/early 90's when football hooliganism was in it's pomp, and our lot wandered around with impunity and absolutely took the piss....they were literally nowhere to be seen. Sunderland was a stroll in the park compared to most grounds back then (especially Boro) but reading their threads on RTG, and it's about how they smashed everybody and anybody there. :lol:

FFS man.

Bollocks, there's some nice areas in Sunderland.

I had a feeling they'd draw 1-1 and win on penalties.

The Don's cheque for his next installment must have bounced.
