Like what? Where you drink? Well some trampy bar down the coast way. I don't know them all. Well for starters, being the best poster on the internet ever. Where do I drink?, in the house, rarely go to a pub unless it's for a nosebag. Used to be a regular in The Ship, before I moved from Monkseaton to Byker Grove (alledgedly). I can imagine you being a Berkley Tavern man myself. Aye thats what I was on about Kabbaddi. All the crowd shout kabbaddi kabbaddi kabbaddi. Was on before Gazzetta on a Saturday morning. Seemed to be like sumo wrestling for skinny cunts. They used to like slapping their own thighs on that show. It was comical stuff.

Did anyone ever see that game from, (I think), India that channel 4 used to show? It was basically what I'd call 'tuggy' or 'tag'. Was quite funny and better than any of the mainstream US sports, especially American football which is dire. I've watched Gaelic football on Irish tv when I've spent time over there in the past and that was ok to watch if you're a bit bored.

The Sting with Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Robert Shaw. Hadn't seen it in a long time and saw it going for 99p so bought it and watched it a couple of nights ago, just forgot I watched the Unforgiven last night with Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, best Cowboy film for me, like.

Nolan for me. We all know his limitations but what a character to have, a very good finisher, (his goal against Wolves, never doubted he'd put it away unlike 'judge me on my goals/if I get chances I'll put them away' aka Owen), he also has a handy knack of thinking on his feet and improvising a la his 1st goal v the mackems and the goal he scored at the Stade de Shite. We needed his goals and he's delivered as well as being a good Captain.

To be fair, I think Fulham fans are being a bit ungrateful - Al Fayed gives them a statue for nowt, Chelsea had to pay £50m for theirs....... Aye just a bit, he's also loaned them £207 mill interest free. Well I was having a carry on about Torres, really, but Fulham fans have every right to be shaking their head about the statue in my opinion.

Nar mate you missed it, a twitter row I had with Danny Simpson, referring to Man Utd, as "United", he didn't take kindly to my comments, and it spiralled from there. Even the N-O rent boys got involved. I'm an OTL-er Stevie. (Oot the Loop). Did you call him a mug? And what did he call you? I did actually. He referred to Manchester United as "United" on his twitter an employee of Newcastle UNITED with 15000 toon fans reading his pish. I said it was disrespectful, he said I'll call them what I want, so I said fuck off to Manchester then. Next thing all of the young toon fans every where talking to me like they're muslims abusing Salman Rushdie. However, people with a clue and all the older lads almost to a man, completely shared my sentiments. Maybe you should have put a metaphorical arm round his shoulders and showed him the error of his ways and explained Geordie etiquette a bit more gently than calling him a 'Mug'. Saying that, once he knows he's doing something that pisses off the proper support he should 'pipe down' doing it.

Worse again when its a toon player calling them United. Looks like you missed all of the fun and games there. You are what I'd class as a proper toon fan, you'd agree with my stance, mugs don't. Alan Shearer says it. Cringeworthy. Honestly, I even find it hard to comprehend when a fan of a team with no 'United' in their name calls them simply 'United', let alone a Newcastle fan/player doing it. Surely they're just Man U to everyone with our club in their hearts? 'United' is almost a term of endearment and anyone, other than a fan of theirs, should have no business saying it.

Stevie on the wind up.

I did try and get in on my 22nd birthday about 3 in the morning and ended up in the back of a police car explaining that I just wanted to look around the ground and after seeing the state I was in (I was mortal), and checking up that I wasn't a 'wrong'un' they let me off with a slapped wrist.

That's what I mean from the American Sports I only know 5 ever, bakabaal, gridirons, ice hockey, and what's the other sport they play it escapes me now. There is another one these mugs play that's popular. Baseball. I did enjoy 'Field of Dreams' to be fair. (15 to 67 in a sentence).

Surely it's an interest thing as much as exposure to these people? I do know what Carl Lewis looks like, I'd forgotten about him and Tiger Woods and the likes of Ali, Foreman, Haggler, and Tyson who are genuinely 'World famous'. But as for basketball players, how am I supposed to get my information on their appearance without actively going looking for it?

Me too, (as CT started the thread). CT may be interested to read about Julius Caesar's demise in front of Pompey's statue.

Who put 'United played Chelsea last night' on the poll? Sacrilege in my opinion from a Mag, worse again if said Mag is a Geordie which I'd bet wasn't the case.

Television documentaries but mainly reading books and newspapers*. *(Not the Daily Star, aka Peter Andre and Jordon's diary).

Well if that's aimed at me I think that is fucking hilarious. Seriously, mate, I don't know what they look like. Why would I? I don't watch basketball FFS!

Never heard of him. I've got a telly and couldn't tell you what he looks like. I once had a manager called called Michael Jordon and he was a Geek with specs and ginger hair, as for the basketball player, wouldn't know him if he came up my drive with a basketball kit on with 'Boston Celtic' or whatever they're called on. I have heard of Babe Ruth, The Refrigerator and and Dan Marino, but like Jordon, (the basketball player, not my old boss), I couldn't tell you what they looked like.

He also told them to go to Hell. What a knob. It must be pretty embarrassing to be a Fulham fan walking past that statue, like. I'm just waiting for Dekka 'Smithers' Llambias to suggest commissioning a statue of Mike for single handedly keeping Newcastle United in existence and for the statue to be a focal point for grateful fans to show their respect and love. Don't even joke. If it makes Fulham money... Fayed's missed a trick, for an extra few quid he could've got a bigger version of those ornaments that sing and dance like Billy Bass the singing fish. It could've moved its right hand to its crotch and say, 'Hee hee, shamone!' when you clapped next to it.

I noticed that too. It looks wierd after all those years and not as aesthetic.

Does that feel better unloading your burden of guilt years after unloading your guts?

Game over.

He had a spell where he went off the rails, this was when he went down to Wallsend and lost the plot with this lass. Tragic for the lass and her family, and knowing his family, felt for them too, what would you do in the same boat? He's your son/brother, a decent enough kid but does something off his box and thats it, no coming back from that. Couldn't believe it when I found out, I actually seen his Dad and brother the next day and being oblivious to the news smiled and waved over at them, thought to myself, 'They look a bit fucking happy, like' when I got a very half-hearted reply.

If that was in the mid nineties I've a feeling I know the lad and his family quite well. Yes, he was called Fraser Loughlin His initials would've done, like! You went to Benfield, then? Don't start roll your eyes crap just because you're pals with the family, he fucking murdered a young lass with a bright future ahead of her...simple as. It was big news at the time. Yes I did, he was in my year and I knew him very well. I know. I know. Thats what it boils down to, end of the day. Was shocked then and still find it strange now, like.
