Not worthy of a thread, but anyone else impressed by Scunny's manager last night ?

Very complimentary about NUFC and everything about us

So rare that.

Scunthorpe manager Nigel Adkins:

 

"That's a Premier League side you have just seen out there, end of story, so we don't need to get too disillusioned about the result because that is a Premier League side and a very, very good one.

 

"We play Plymouth at home on Saturday followed by Peterborough at home on the Tuesday, and we have got to look at the big picture.

 

"The big picture is making sure we stay in the division."

Lots of nice stuff, but he's very wrong in his assessment of us.

Just had a quick look-in at the SMB forum. f*** me they are obsessed with us  ;D

 

Most surprising thing, today I went to a ManU forum to make some FF research (wanted to know if Neville was going to start for them now that Brown's out), and half their threads are about Barça! They seem obsessed with us, they had like four different threads going on about how Rooney was better than Messi.

 

Funny since we care so little about Manchester United (we regard Chelsea as bigger rivals continental-wise, have a much juicier story with them).

We win and the next day it's rammed with threads about us. You can set your watch by it :lol:

 

Along with the obligatory "No Newcastle players would get into our side" topic there was one detailing all the allegedly daft things our fans have said, almost all of which are completely fictional. There was also a thread detailing how shit Andy Carroll is, another asking whether we'd have an open top bus parade if we won the league (That's so fucking trivial it wouldn't even warrant a thread on here :lol:) and one full of 13 year olds reassuring themselves that the Championship is much shitter than it was all those times they promoted. Fucking pathetic man.

Next year (I hope I'm not jinxing) will tell if he is or not.

We certainly can't be as bad as we were when we were sent down

Away form is worrying, though.

6 ft 4 in, striker, born in Gateshead & arrested there cant be two idiots who fit this bill but there is. While browsing around I read that Andy Carroll Mk II AKA Gary Madine got nicked a few weeks back for a  city centre fight. Has had some weird loans this season  one to CCC club & next to League 2 team.

sepp blater has cemented his position as supreme dictator (or president of fifa for as long as he feels likes it if you prefer) after a motion to impose a 2 term limit on being fifa president from asia was defeated heavily

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/mar/19/sepp-blatter-fifa-revenue-1bn

Big Sam would of got us in the top 8

 

In spite of having to sell more than £30million worth of players he has put Rovers in a healthy enough league position.

 

His one regret is that he was not allowed to finish the job at Newcastle, where he was sacked by owner Mike Ashley.

 

‘If he had been a little more patient at Newcastle, I’m sure they would have been in a much better position than they are now,’ said Allardyce. ‘My track record would tell you that eventually we’d have been in the top eight or better within a couple of years.
