Edit. Wrong thread

That is easily the single most unhinged and despicable thing I've ever read on any forum ever and for it to happen on here is truly sad. When you sober up in the morning I hope you're ashamed of that.

Further evidence that the term "Premier League proven" means nothing if they come from a team which play different and have different expectations.

I was hoping that the days of signing guys like this were over! An absolute diddy. Who the fuck sanctioned spending 55m on this guy, he's not suited to the way we play

Nah man, you have to be scoring those Wissa! We'll live to regret that.

Thank you, I got Michael Owen's book on philosophy for Christmas, I feel like it's starting to sink in.

It has the feel of "one of those nights", I feel like we could win this game, but we're also at risk of losing but there is always the chance we could draw. Stay tuned for more analysis.

For a fanbase our size, our podcast and YouTubers are the fucking pits. I often wonder if this is the trade off for being blessed with Frank Chippa.

Shit draw, makes a change from getting a cartel team away from home I suppose, just shame that Villa are better than the majority of the cartel!

We have enough athletes, we need artists. Gallagher can huff and puff but I doubt he'll blow a low block down.

Based of his 2nd stint. The first Newcastle game I watched was the Arsenal Cup Final so I remember nothing about The Entertainers, but I acknowledge that he's on the Mt.Rushmore of Newcastle figures based on his first spell.

Ranking managers based on win percentages ignores important context so I'll factor in how well they done with the resources available to them and the general feel good factor around their tenure. Also, I'm too young to remember The Entertainers, Dalglish & Gullit with any clarity, so with that in mind: Gods: 1. Eddie Howe (The Hero) - Saved us from relegation, qualified for CL twice, worked wonders with a limited squad despite spending restrictions and injuries and gave us a team to be proud of. Oh! He won us a trophy too! 2. Sir Bobby (The Godfather) - Qualified for Europe numerous times with an exciting squad, deserved more support from the hierarchy. A wonderful ambassador for the club, a man I'm immensely proud to call one of our own. Great: 3. Rafa Benitez (The Samaritan) - I dread to think how low we would have sunk without his intervention. A great manager who had absolutely no business wasting his time with the Mickey Mouse charlatans who were 'running' us at the time. 4. Chris Hughton (The Gentleman) - Done a commendable job guiding us through the quagmire of the Championship and helped foster a great team spirit among the players, was doing a fine job in the PL until what happened happened. Fine: 5. Kevin Keegan (2nd stint) (The Return of the King) - Took a while to get going but the excitement around his return was incredible to witness, shame it was short lived and ended the way it did. 6. Glenn Roeder (The Nice Guy) - One good season followed by a bad one, a thoroughly decent guy and done his best. Crap: 7. Sam Allardyce (The Glutton) - Signed absolute dross, played shit football. End. 8. Alan Pardew (The Charlatan) - Done remarkably well to finish 5th, yes, it was helped by some wonder goals and several other teams having bad seasons but it was fun at the time. Downhill from there punctuated by his ridiculous excuses, the derby defeats and being a shill for Ashley. Elevated in this ranking by how highly he speaks of the club. 9. Graeme Souness (The Destroyer) - Tore down a perennial top 5 team in a remarkably short space of time, chased away good players, signed shit ones and was a horrible old cunt to boot. Set the wheels in motion for relegation. 10. Steve McLaren (The Calamity) - Nice enough guy but getting that team relegated takes a special kind of shit manager, way out of his depth and should have never been hired in the first place. 11. Joe Kinnear (The Clown) - A drunken buffoon but his legendary rant was funny. Bruce: 12. Steve Bruce (The Wretched Obese Horseman of the Football Apocalypse) - I don't even known where to begin. I suppose the best way I can sum it up is that he made me try my best to detach from football and kid myself that I didn't care anymore. I have the utmost respect for everyone who stuck with the club during his tenure, it was just too much for me I couldn't handle seeing Bruce and Ashley suffocate the life out of it like an anaconda. A bitter, plastic Geordie, utterly consumed by the shadow of Rafa the entire time. I hated everything about him from his non existent tactical acumen to his 'woe is me' sob stories in the media. Alan Shearer & John Carver were only ever interims so they don't qualify but rest assured they were both shit.

Shame this never caught on......

Cheers lads, that's pretty much it. Tin pot southern spreadsheet shaggers seem to be our kryptonite. Thanks for Howe, Mad Dog, Graeme Jones and Cal Wilson now kindly get yourself to fuck.

I can't quite put my finger on why Bournemouth irritate the living hell out of me. Just know that they irritate the living hell out of me and I hope they get relegated.

This is the correct answer.

Surely it was Rockie P's in Norham no? A mainstay of the charver uniform at Marden along with the Berghaus, if you were an Admiral/General of the charvers you got to wear a Berghaus Mera Peak, a Tog24 if you were a just a footsoldier, a Sprayway for the cannon fodder

Never sell this guy, ever. At 19 I was still doing prank calls and knocky door neighbours

That has to be AI, surely! If not:

I'm more raging about the Spurs draw than the mackem loss, fuck knows why!

Just because a player scored against us or even had a good game against us doesn't mean we should sign him. Leeds is his level, we should be aiming higher than gimps like this

Bruno, I love you to pieces, you're a bonafide club legend, one the greatest I've ever seen wear the black and white and a damn good captain too. But can you please please please knock it off with that gimpy run up, it gives me the fear man!

The consensus from the Milan fans did seem to be that he's a very good player but liable for the odd calamity here and there. At least he got it out his system during a win! Tonight's performance isn't going to change my opinion of him, shit happens and there's no place to hide for a CB when you're not allowed the races

Despite the fact that they've spent most of the season in the 'yewrapeyun playces' and we've spent that time stepping on rakes, it seems pretty crazy that we've just leapfrogged them. I don't think they can get much better than they were at the start of the season, (especially now they've played everyone and teams will give them more respect and prepare better) and I certainly fucking hope that we won't get much worse. Nature is healing, roll on March
