Shearer left after Euro 96, when Ray Harford was our manager, so we'd already sank a bit by then. I think we finished about 7th the last season Shearer played for us,so we were not much good in defending our title in the 1995-96 season. We did try to replace Shearer with some Brazilian lad called Ronaldo, but he was already on his way to Barcelona. Now, this will probably piss you all off, but the story is that Shearer joined Newcastle because Walker flatly refused to let him be sold to Man Utd who he considered the biggest rivals to trophies. At least that is the story that I have often heard. That, and Shearer and Sutton hated each other so much, that Harford was not strong enough to stand up to Alan, and Newell was picked ahead of Chris during his reign. P.S. Leeds are cunts (just so I am vaguely on topic).

What are 'salad days'? It's in a song that someone like Tony Bennett or Andy Williams sings, but I have no idea what the hell they're on about.

Who knew that Brendan Fraser used to be in a girl band? And a Christian one with Woody Allen and Dick Emery at that! And that hair reminds me of something.......

Gypsies, bamps in trees All the bailiffs comin' round to tear it down Gypsies, bamps in trees As Cher may have once sang. I don't get the Irish accents they all have despite living in this country for many generations. If they want to knock up houses anywhere they like, they should become Jews and move to Israel. We in the civilised part of the world have rules that they fell foul of, like normal people who build stuff without planning permission.

The remake with Russell Brand (aka the shit Kenny Everett), or the Dudley Moore version?

True, you'd never see cheap signs like that at the Reebok, Emirates or even the Ricoh stadiums. Is your stadium still officially called Sports Direct@St. James' Park or has that been dropped?

I would take a defeat to remove a crap manager. Hell, I've been thinking that for about 6 months now, so it isn't such a bad question to ask. It is all about the long term, and in the long term, a Bruce led Sunderland would continue to spend a fair amount on mediocre players that under achieve. As for O'Neill going there, I doubt it. He'd want to spend fairly big to turn the team around and it looks like the American guy is being more careful with the money from now on.

The mental clips always seem to involve Russians.

I went to a carvery for an all that you can eat deal. Sadly my body wasn't up to the challenge and I didn't eat loads. Mind you I was glad to get out as it seemed that every fat mutant and loud child in the West Midlands was in the place today. Too many people, but then it was a Sunday. Also sent off job application for a job that is worth a lot more a year than I'm on (but still not that big).

I was on the fucking phone to Krushchev and Kennedy diffusing the Cuban missile crisis. FFS, these threads are shit. What next? What were you doing in 1981? Or 1976? Or 1763? This is a slippery slope to the tedious nostalgia that has provided that cunt Justin Lee Collins with a career. Next thread will be 'Ooo arr what is your favourite 80's Grange Hill character?' or 'do you remember Manimal?'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15324686 Police may get involved in the whole Dr. Fox/Werrity thing. The Tories love hanging out with possible criminals don't they?

Is it normal for the odds of the next manager to leave to close over a weekend? It seems to have happened yesterday and this morning. According to oddschecker, only Ladbrokes are offering odds on this as I type. Could there be something happening?

Maybe I'm in a minority, behind the times etc. but I just see an Ipad as a giant iphone. They look sexy and high tech, but they're no better than a laptop unless you want to walk around and pretend you're in CSI New York. The only advantage I can see is if you are someone who likes walking about and looking at a computer.

Wish they could both lose the final. France are shit, lucky tossers and the Kiwis would be so full of it if they won.

At least he didn't take half the first team squad to China to play a pointless friendly against factory workers who make the products.

What's wrong with those two then? I've not read about them at all. They look like chavs in that picture, but as far as I know they are OK apart from their dress sense. Those fat jocks a while ago seemed like a right miserable pair. Spending a few grand on a fucking caravan, and saying bollocks like 'well I might have a haircut and buy a Nissan Micra' in a flat, tedious accent. They won £150m and they came across as the sort who would keep records of their expenditure in a book so they can make sure they didn't spend too much at Netto. Twats.

Coventry won at last. That's good. Blackburn played a dire game against QPR and drew. That's bad, as Kean will be in for the season now, despite the club being bottom of the table.

Bloody hell, even if she wasn't his sister he shouldn't. Talk about a minger.

I like his films in a 'so bad they're hilarious' kind of way.

Hehehe, nar blud im still here. Fuckin towns all blocked off today, cunts You been eating cheese and watching Kidulthood again? That Wigga speak just wouldn't work with a Northern Irish accent.

I was 17 and balls deep in your mother. Still can't quite get the smell of my helmet.

Fuck the Queen. Fuck her up her dusty ancient arse and fuck the monarchy as an institution. Sell them off to the Americans, they love them despite the war of independence.
