  1. Going to watch 'What if' tonight with the missus. Don't go to the pictures much and it's always the bairns choice or something the wife wants to watch. Can't wait.
  2. No chance of getting the Celtic lad, we're not a big enough club again.
  3. He's accusing you of being an ex- Soviet spy, he's just a dyslexic.
  4. No team building here. Sell on value squad is what we have. Pardew making us into a hard to beat team at best.
  5. Never mind CT, we were shit and played for a bonus 3 points. Clueless manager, Riveire might be canny in support of a proper striker. Cabella no better than Ben Arfa.

  7. Kudos to Ayatolloh's season as well. There was no young kids, bright lights novelty about our first season back up as we'd only been away for a season, however the twatting of Villa and the Mackems were both a bit special and a couple of wrongs were made very right those days. (Even better being near both set of fans in L7).
  8. By the way, not sure if it was the season before promotion, but at Grimsby it was nearing kick off and another big following was making its way from the bars to the turnstiles apart from one mortal looking bloke with a tache who was singing Newcastle songs but heading the opposite way, he just wouldn't have it when he was told he was going the wrong way and he continued on his way shaking hands with people and smiling and waving.
  9. '83-'84 as a young lad of ten/eleven was great even though I only got to the match once that year in what must have been our only home defeat v Shrewsbury. My favourite season is probably the '92-'93 promotion year under KK as I was then a carefree young adult and had just witnessed the chasm of the abyss we just managed to avoid by going down to the 3rd division. The shiny new PL was new and sky were bullshitting it up just for a change. The biggest gate in England on the the opening day of the super duper sky sponsored greedy bastards league was in the division below at St. James' Park where 28,000 people, (minus the flask and blanket Brigade), got absolutely drenched in the roofless terraces to watch a side who'd just avoided relegation to the third tier take on Southend Utd. It only took a few games to realise this was the start of something special, I'd never seen us play like this before and it was an absolute pleasure. The end of the back pass to the keeper rule came into effect and it suited our game down to a tee where others struggled to cope and panicked when put under pressure at the back. The only downside to this season was near the backend of it I was made redundant and had to curtail my away games but I managed to get to some great games that year, beating PL Boro away 3-1 in the cup with for once a big following thanks to cup ticket allocation rules, (Ayresome Park wasn't a happy hunting ground at the time), Roker Park and the start of a great winning record down there thanks to Liam O'Brien, Derby away was our first away game and great revenge for our 4-1 reverse only a couple months ago, they moved us from behind the goal to the side of the pitch between games but the atmosphere was still electric and the same thing happened with those Derby kids playing football getting chased after the game. Had some great away days around this period including three of us staying in Sidcup for the Charlton game played at Upton Park. We met a few kids from there on holiday and stayed with the Spurs fan out of them, the rest were Charlton, a 3-1 win, thousands down there, the poor Charlton kids desperately taking us to different 'Charlton' bars only to see each one stowed off with Pissed, loud singing black & whites and back in Sidcup later on that night to give the unsuspecting female population the entire back catalogue of Sid the Sexist quotes, eg. in a chinkies Chinese at the end of the night to lasses wanting to hear our accent, 'Do you like Chinese food, then, love?", "Yeah I lahve it", "Whey come an chow mien then.". "They're nice ear rings pet, do you like jewelry then?" "Yeah". "Well tek a look at this, it's a fucking Gem." etc, etc. (Would've got you a slap in the Toon, but err, didn't down there that night). The night at Grimsby where thousands managed to get in and we probably outnumbered the home fans was a fitting way to round the season off as champs and get us promoted, David Kelly slotting in the winner almost a year after he scored the late winner v Pompey to give us hope of staying up. Fantastic season and quite funny seeing the states of our large following taking over places like Peterborough which was another great day out in the sun.
  10. Man U cast offs, eh? Apart from being overpriced and generally poor, what could go wrong?
  11. If ever there's an away game I fancy us in its these. Unless we're absolutely dire we tend to do ok here. 2-1 to us.
  12. There's a bloke drinks with us, lovely lad, but his hair is almost cast iron, it never moves, even in a gale. His fringe is funnier than Edinburgh's.

  14. By coincidence I bought three for a fiver the other day for old times sake, just the normal broon ale and I noticed two things, it wasn't quite the same taste, they've now put 'Tadcaster, North Yorkshire' on the label now they think enough time has lapsed since S&N, not Heineken, decided to move out of Tyneside.
  15. "Right, we do a series where I get to 'dine' at contestants houses or flats. It's always me and three females. The winning female gets to lick squirty cream off my John Thomas. We call the show 'Cum dine on me'. What's not to like?"
  16. They're not just advertising to you or me who are sceptical of SD but anyone watching a clip on MOTD or sky who may have no idea of our club or care even less if they did. There's a lot more Non-NUFC fans throughout the world than there is Newcastle United supporters and I'd hazard a guess more non-NUFC fans have seen his advertsing around St. James' Park and in the tunnel for interviews than Mags. SD is always there. if it isn't important why is it there?
  17. Au-fucking-contraire. We're not a glamour club as long as he owns us, this club has plenty of evidence of being a glamour club but you have to turn the clock back pre-Ashley. As for the interest free debt, that's really great of him to do that, it really is. If we aren't paying interest the debt must be going down all the more faster. It's what? Not moved at all? Advertising works however much we laugh about it so to disregard it isn't helpful.
  18. Couldn't find a courbette, had roast budgie and home brew ale pie instead.
  19. Arsenal really should be a goal down here. Half time analysis from Sol Campbell, Lee Dixon with Adrian Chiles. Commentary by Tyldsley and Andy Townsend. It's a veritable who's who of wankers.
