Perhaps it’s limited budget and not enough money to buy someone better than what we have. Burn is more than decent and the defence was more efficient than the attack last season and maybe that’s where the money was focussed as the best way of getting better results. Turn some of the many draws into wins.

Careful and responsible building over several years makes perfect sense to me. The vultures are circling and we’ll get fucking murdered if we put a foot wrong. Add quality when it’s available and don’t get the collective knickers in a twist if we don’t finish top four next season. starting to look like there’s unrealistic expectations and a sense of entitlement appearing here. What happened to ‘we want a team that tries’? we want a team that tries, has a sensible plan and is playing the long game.

Beckham wasn’t one for sashaying around a fullback either. Fucking donkey.

Nice to see a bit of proper old school sniping here. Altogether too bourgeois usually.

He’s the new Ketsbaia. Lots of nowt, occasionally inspired. We sold ketsbaia- who I fucking loved by the way and moved on and played in the champions league under SBR. ASM will be a footnote remembered fondly but he’s never going to be a legend. I’d take a player 75% of his ability who plays regular, does what he’s told and contributes consistently.

I see there was a lad called Emerton playing for the reserved recently. Finally over the line. Freddie Shepherd always gets his man.

Owen Hargreaves.

I wonder if it’s about walking the owners Salukis like when the players in the 50’s were expected to walk the chairman or managers whippets? Maybe Barnes is allergic to dergs?

Glorious failure as opposed to humdrum failure

Monica Bellucci popping round for a bit afternoon delight.

Written in the stars then.

Ivan Zamorano is pretty sexy too mind.

Ron Futcher. nobby styles

Faustino Asprilla

Be great if there was a team called Nasty. Newcastle are front runners in the race to sign Nasty midfielder Neville Cunt.

When was the last time ASM scored 13 goals in a season?

Agree. Brilliant but we aren’t equipped to be competitive in CL and PL at the same time yet. Take the loot, moderate expectations and avoid getting knickers in a twist when we are struggling a bit at Christmas.

.com saying Monday.

One of Ferguson’s many genius skills was spotting mature experienced players that did a brilliant job for a year or two. Sheringham and Larsson. There’s a lot to be said for them if there’s no stupid transfer fee

I think one of the things that prevents him from being viewed as an all time great (outside of Tyneside at least) is that he was so inelegant. He did things of utter wonder and implausibility but still managed to look like a shambling scruff when he did.

Beardsley was the rarest of beasts that had both. If he was South American or Italian or from anywhere but Benwell he’d have got more recognition than he did.

Someone on my street is growing industrial quantities at home. Go out to put something in the bin and come back telling wor lass about a conversation I just had with god.

Demba Ba.

Mirandinha. Robert Lee.

Knee to explode like JFK’s heed 2 seconds from time.
