  1. What is it with ex-Mackems and hair transplants ? Fletcher Gray and even old Monkey Heed
  2. Not going but from past visits , the Arkles on anfield road (just across Stanley Park from Goodison) used to welcome away fans and the staff were always canny
  3. Why does the Mitrovic debate persist ? Sometimes a move just doesn't work, and sometimes the fresh start turns a player around. Look at Jon Dahl Tomasson here and then at Feyenoord/Milan or Torres and his career prior to his move to Chelsea.
  4. You also have the matter of the debt, that's never ever been paid down. Ashley took it from the bank but because of the Roald Dahl school of accounting it's still there and added to any (theoretical) purchase price .
  5. Rumblings on twitter that somethings going on and rumours doing the rounds that a resignation letter's gone in .
  6. That poster just like the shirt is marketing at it's most shameless. Let's use the likeness of Les Ferdinand from of course the team of entertainers that thrilled us as supporters, an era the current regime have been vital in distancing us from. The man that put together that team (KEEGAN !!) was treated like absolute dirt by and caused a brief uncomfortable murmur for the owner so let's use the statue of Sir Bobby, a knight of the realm no-less. From another era of entertainment, that again the current regime have nothing to do with. A man of class and dignity who just happens to be very much in the public eye because it's the World Cup and there will be clips of him on both mainstream channels at every conceivable opportunity. As well as featuring in a critically acclaimed documentary also stirring the emotions. Did anyone say free advertising ? Being the absolute classless scum that they are we have a Pavel Is A Geordie flag . Nothing like prostituting the memory of a dead man, for the second time in one poster no less, to hock your overpriced tat. Of course Pavel was once again associated with the same era of entertainment as Les. The KEEGAN era REMEMBER ?? The era where one man had the vision to not only save the club we love but to turn it into a powerhouse. One of THE great phases of being a Newcastle United supporter, the era this shirt aims to monetize your nostalgia for, just like Ashley monetized and cashed in on KEEGAN's credibility and affection with supporters. Of course they'd rather we didn't mention KEEGAN, it makes people uncomfortable when you point out that we failed to show the depths of our affection when he was constructively dismissed, when he saw through the sham he realized he'd be helping to uphold if he carried on managing the club. Some held out , most went back. As if there isn't enough shameless marketing at work they have the Tyne Bridge and the Millennium Bridge but not even nature or nursery rhymes are safe from the corporate quid as The Ashley era tries to tie itself once again to traditions it's done it's level best to exploit and destroy. The traditional Magpies nickname that seems to have been abandoned by the new breed of fan. Let's have more tradition in our big advert. Two for joy, you should be joyous Newcastle customers as you fill the tills, after all what a small price to show your devotion and you can even get a discount at certain store owned by the regime. The only surprise is they'd didn't have the front to put five for silver on there. Enjoy your shirts, every single one sold takes us further away from everything that poster displays. Everything that Mike Ashley will never be a part of.
  7. Classless of both the witness and the media. Should surely have been the subject of a reporting restriction.
  8. I'd play Ryan Taylor on one leg or even James Perch ahead of him.
  9. Eerie. Stories of child abuse are horrifying enough, yet they always seem a world away. Then something surfaces and you realise you were there. Decka was one of the older lads on the estate when I was a kid, 2 years older than me. He was in the same class as my sister, and my mother knew his mother through the Wednesday Club. He was good mates with my neighbour whose younger brother was my best mate. We used to play football just about every day at primary school, and many weekends on the moor. He was a cracking little player, arguably the best in the school, and a right character to go with it. I'm pretty sure I didn't just imagine it but he was well thought of on the estate. The kind who could get into trouble and joke his way out of it. I don't mind saying I looked up to him for a good few years. I vaguely remember the day he got picked for Newcastle Boys and the pride that emanated through the corridors of our school. I'm pretty sure we did no work that day as we all dreamed of the same. Practicing signing autographs in our jotters was probably the most any could manage. But then we all grew old and our stories went in different directions, and I never thought of him again. Until Gassa started playing for the toon, he reminded me of Decka in so many ways, and I did wonder whatever happened to him. So it kinda breaks my heart to learn what did happen, and just felt the need to express my respect for the fella. He pulled on the black and white stripes which so many of us dreamed of doing and despite the horrific things that happened to him was strong enough as a person to help stop his abuser hurting other people. That's as you said a man to be respected alright .
  10. Ormond was found guilty of similar charges in 2002 and was sentenced to 6 years. Former striker Derek Bell was instrumental in the previous case against Ormond . https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/dec/01/newcastle-accused-cover-up-1990s-abuse
  11. Mitro's movement is as bad as his finishing . Not good enough in The Championship, wasn't good enough in the Premier League. Shift him on .
  12. The S*n know fuck all to do with this club. Look at who would be in the know in regards to transfers . Really it's only Ashley and to a lesser extent Benitez and possibly Charnley and Carr. The Mirror group are official media partners and as an ex Liverpool manager and both a financial and vocal supporter of the Hillsborough Family Support Group Rafa won't be having anything to do with The S*n neither.
  13. David Coverdale's writing doesn't have the same appeal without Tawny Kitean in an accompanying video.
  14. Good solid displays from Lascelles , Clark, Yedlin and Darlow (great handling tonight on the crosses). Ground it out.
  15. Wolves have took on Paul Lambert's mentality they play so ....well Scottish really, whinging, appealing for bloody everything .
  16. Or in this case over 100 appearances for Wolves AND Sunderland Who is it? Don Goodman used to have big shit hair .
  17. Co Commentators should never be used if they've played for one of the teams their commentating on . If they are there should be another CoCo Commentator who's (in this case) Newcastle United affiliated .
  18. Two shocks . One, that equalizer and two, Kazenga is fucking 26 ??
  19. If Perez scores the other chance no one gives a shit about should've passed it . He then doesn't get even more edgy in his game and try that awful ball. I'm not gonna carpet a lad for trying stuff then trying to do the right thing the 2nd time.
  20. My god , Kazenga Lua Lua is coming on must be older than Obafemi Martins (ie older than water).
