MOTD

[LoveItIfWeBeatU]

We're still clamouring for Shearer. I love being told what I think.

Some cockney t*** ex-footballer on Soccer Saturday (I don't know who he is) said "They all want one man to do it". I was shouting at the screen, "You dare say Shearer!". What do they base this demand for Shearer on? The made up s**** in the papers? It's like me saying "I know what his favourite dinner will be. Jellied Eels".

 

I liked Alan McInally going into one and feeling quote strongly about it saying that Allardyce most certainly should have KEPT his job because we drew 0-0 away at Stoke.

What the f*** does he know about us and our club. What a t***.

 

At least Jeff Stelling had the sense to retort and say "oh come on Alan, they were absolutely awful". McInally's face was a picture, he was getting really wound up about it.

Exactly! All these twats in the media go "Sam should have been given more time" but after every Newcastle game on TV in the last three months they've all come out with more or less "Newcastle are fucking shite!"

I'm meant to be popping into the town for a few things.  However if I switch on the TV and see that Craig David is outside SJP, I might wander up later on.

 

As sad as it seems I'm desperate to get on TV.  The scenario would be that he interviews me about who I'd want.  However, just as he asks the questions, and assuming its being broadcast live, I gurn at the camera, then preceed to speak absolute twaddle, insisting that we bring back Gordon Lee as manager (I wasn't alive, but I've heard he was cack!) and that the first signing he makes should be Steven Glass.

 

However, before the cameras cut back to Craig David in sheer embarrassment, I get one last swipe and go on a massive rant about the media and the s**** that they speak.

 

Then the next thing the viewers see is some bloke going, "Have you ever considered being a driving instructor?  WELL YOU CAN, WITH THE INSTRUCTOR COLLEGE!!!"

I've resigned to calling him that after stumbling along to a game a year or so ago (forgot which one) with 2 mates half-cut.  He was there doing a piece to camera, to which one of my mates shouted behind poor David, in a Bo Selecta style voice, "Daaaaaaavid Craaaaig, on his North-east tour".

 

A pathetic attempt to get on TV I know, but the horror on the camera mans face was a picture!

I don't really want to get into this whole 'they think we think that they reckon we really think that we're a big club' thing, but what I don't understand is - well, actually, I do partly understand it - why the same accusations don't get levelled at Tottenham and West Ham.

 

West Ham in particular are turning out to be horrible johnny come latelies, larging it up about what great fans they are because they usually sell out a 35k stadium for the first time in years, neglecting the fact that they've never actually won the league, and are the perfect definition of a yo-yo club.

 

Tottenham's press coverage seems to imply they're some kind of institution despite finishing in the top six a massive two times in almost two decades and having amassed a gigantic two league championships in their history, the last of which was not that far off half a century ago.

 

Now, regardless of the validity or not of any of the things levelled at Newcastle, if you look at the two above cases, why don't their clais of greatness get treated with the same opprobrium? I wonder, just wonder, if it is to do with the "L" word?

Oh Brummie. How could you possibly suggest that, because those 2 wonderful clubs come from our nations capital, that they should get different treatment from our boys in the gutter press

How very cynical of you

to use "fill me in" in a thread on MOTD, of which Mark Lawrenson appears, is ironic to say the least...

Absolutely true about Lee, NE5 - we were on the brink of actually achieving something with Lee but the Board, unhappy with the disruption being caused by unnecessary visits to Wembley, and the cost of extra policing when we started getting full houses, acted without any delay and hastened the departure of the main culprit, Mr Lee, to Everton - all credit to them ; after all, we don;t want the calm ,match-day atmosphere disrupted by excitement, do we...!!

and all because he [correctly] sold Supermac. [which he now admits himself was the right decision, as his career was over 3 years later, and he knew at the time that his career would finish early]. Quite incredible that so many NUFC fans ignore all of this.

I thought one or two people would have had something to say on this ie those who think the board at this time were "just the same" as those we had who competed at the top end of the first division and regularly qualified for europe

Just caught the end of it tonight. Hansen patting the seat next to him when saying Shearer would be with them tomorrow night.

Do they really expect him to come out and ask for an interview in front of them ?
