Fat Sod. Will the staff at Debenhams have their pensions protected in administration ? I know a few people who work for Debenhams, they're all really scared abou ttheir jobs, understandably, but the reason why Debenhams didn't want him is based on his business ethos. Ie they've looked at the way he treats SD staff, looked at what he's done to us and thought 'We really don't want a bloke like him running (ruining?) our business. Can't blame them but they've been in the shit for a few years. It absolutely serves him right, he's behaving like the spoiled cunt he is. Hope he loses the lot. Nothing he can do to our club could possibly be worse than what he already had done and continues to do for the past decade. It so serve him right. Vengeance is best served cold? Bring in the freezers and die to expletive deleted. Not than I'm bitter or anything like that!!!

I have not, and will not, ever - EVER - buy anything from that shop. Full stop.

nufcjb, we can only dream but I love your optimism and style!

Particularly when the 'fouled' player rolls around like he'd been poleaxed!

Always thought he was under rated and certainly Sir Alf didn't think he'd fit his England style.

Criminal, yes, but when did that ever stop him doing (or not doing) the obvious?

I was at that game - he was just sublime - on the same wavelength as Messi for sure.

No-one seems to have mentioned Gareth Southgate recently. What an amazing job the guy is doing! An average (at best) club manager, seemingly one of the 'suits' favoured by an out of date FA, he is really doing the absolute best. Bringing in young talent, being brave, playing adventurous teams with adventurous football. Who knows where it will all end with him at the helm?

If he was around today, he would be compared to Messi as one of the greatest. It seems his managerial career is blighted by outdated opinions and offensive comments which are completely out of order and deserves to be punished (NUFC should have taken action much, much earlier and are just as much to blame as Beardsley) but he was, without any doubt, one of the greatest of his generation and I was privileged to see him play and destroy opposition teams. The Beardsley shuffle? True genius, in his playing days. Not so good now.

Really good setr of questions! Some good answers too!

My thoughts exactly. FCB's track record is pretty consistent. In fact totally consistent. Sweet FA transfer budget, sweet Fa anything.

I just love this!!!!!!!!!!!!

That man just goes from great to amazing!!!!!!!!!! Such a gentleman, true hero to us all.....

Jees....wouldn't that be heaven? Scared to even think about it....

Agree. And also one of the least inspiring managers I've heard in a very long time....Can you imagine a half time motivational speech??? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Over to you Mike Bizarrely this might work in our favour. If Rafa is courted by the likes of Leicester - and others - then it might, just might, make the FCB wake up and do something to not lose him. Like give him total say, running, and budgets to make this club great again. And exponentially increase the value of the club. Or is that way too logical???

Boring, boring, boring. Time everyone just stopped reading or even believing in this. Do we honestly think Cashley will sell his cash cow?

Could it have been Ashley in drag???

This shows the lot! Some awesome early kits http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Newcastle_United/Newcastle_United.htm

That guy is a hero! The programme should be aired on every TV and radio channel in the country. Repeatedly.

Which rules would they be then ? Rule 5.1.C: Do not, under any circumstances, enjoy yourself or show ANY love for this (shit hole of a) club.

Is it any wonder we are where we are with statistics like this? Spare us all and let him die?

No they never man! You could tell when he was interviewed about the game beforehand he wasn't bothered at all. He wanted out that competition it's clear to see. It's totally wrong! We have got in this daft era where players apparently need wrapped in cotton wool. I remember Shearer used to play against all sorts of s**** in cups, Stevenage, Grimsby etc and we took the cups seriously. No coincidence playing likes of Shearer in the early rounds got us to a couple of finals. Right geniune question cards on the table time. Let's get some serious answers to this: If Rafa Benitez signs a new deal under this regime and there is no spending still and more early cup exits will he be complicit and what sort of regard would he be held in then? Simple answer: Rafa will NEVER sign a new deal unless he has written total control and an agreed transfer budget each window. Without that he will walk away. And who on this earth could blame him?

It's so comforting to know that we have a kind and caring club. Part of the community, and all that.

Everything, but everything needs an upgrade. Starting with the owner, the first team, the ground, the training facilities, the...oh the list is endless.....
