  1. Lucy Verasamy of SKY news. Absolutely gorgeous and a lovely smile. More beauty than sexy but nice to see in the morning.
  2. To be fair, I think it's the ONLY way to ensure sustainability. I can see a lot of clubs getting into real trouble down the road (I realise we already are, but we're in a lot less debt than some). It would be great if we could be ahead of the curve and get our hands on the thing that ultimately, only the fans have the right to own. Good points. Again, if this is feasible and workable, how satisfying would it be to tell the world, we didn't like the bastards, so we took over our club ourselves. Football could be in for a rude awakening, if we owned the club with a modicum of sense, if we were debt free, if we weren't owned by a chancer borrowing millions to be johnny big balls, I think we'd have a fucking great chance in the long term. And also considor the kudos we'd have from the world of football. I really hope this is a go-er. Shame on anyone dismissing it out of hand without properly looking into it.
  3. I'm not huffed! You can't really have a reasoned debate on this yet for the same fucking reason I can't...... We haven't enough info! I'd love it to be workable and will listen in the hope that it is.... will you give it an open mind?
  4. Cant believe they are actually doing it And then you knock down the idea to put something in place where we control our own club and wouldn't have to put up with this shit. Hear the fuckers out! They've made the effort, it's the least we can all do!
  5. If this is all feasible then I hope people can give it serious thought, KD appears to have given it the basic 'what a load of shite' reply, which, to be fair a lot of people will, I just hope though, that enough people look into this with a genuine open mind and if its really on, then grasp the nettle and own our own club. I really think just the idea itself is very refreshing, how could it not after this current owner we have? Be brave! Sieze the moment! Don't be little people being dictated to by some cunt with money Grow some fucking balls!!! Just give them a decent hearing. I will.
  6. No. As someone else has already said any compromise would be tantamount to surrender. Anyway, give that fucker an inch and he'll take a yard. As for NUST spending their money on buying the naming rights what does that achieve? We keep the name but his pockets are still being lined. It's an awful suggestion. If done correctly it could be a fucking huge embarrasment to him. But the flip side is he'd get some cash he shouldn't. Doubt it, he's done worse and it hasn't bothered him. If NUST did that it would only legitimise selling the name. Maybe, and it's little more than flying a kite, really. I still think it could be an option. (Even though the NUST have KB'd it.)

  8. If you see her in the 'you won't forget about me' video, well, very nice. Haven't seen her lately, is she aging well?
  9. I talk as much shit in real life mate, I wouldn't have it any other way. I like your chats with the kid with the Blyth spartans sig. (the one who slagged his mates for not going to Vegas for his stag do, can't remember his name, atm.)
  10. nooooo please don't leave its nice to get an appropriate response. I thankyou. So..... What star-sign are you, then?
  11. NUST?..theyve (allegedly) got 20mill tucked away...? I've already brought this up on this thread and copied it to the NUST website and to cut a story short......They're not going down that route.
  12. At this whole thread. There's a few posters in my short time on here, I'd love to see what they're like 'in real life'. Fucking hell, man!! If the 'mom' is still interested in what people get out of coming on this MB, (I suspect she isn't), then it's seeing the world through the eyes of some of the funny fuckers who post on here. There, I'll get out of your thread, now, sorry for interrupting.
  13. That's a bit like the one where a Mackem, a Jew and an Irishman walk into a bar. The bar-tender says, "Is this some kind of joke?"
  14. More made up hogwash. "A German source..." If he doesn't sell the naming rights to SJP he will just sell Stephen Taylor in the winter, stating it's the fault of the fans who didn't want the name changed; the club needs finance etc etc etc, blame those among you, not me, waffle waffle lie lie. It was Herr Kutt, the adidas company barber who gave the game away! However, if true.... ....I think adidas have made a total hash of our kit for the last few years and can't see them stumping up the money that the fat cretin will want for the right to make our shirt, (the contract ends this season), and also to sponsor the stadium. If it's true about the SBR stand* thing then I'm afraid they're barking up the wrong tree for me and trying to be clever with a deceased mans name is a pretty snidey thing to do to ease the disgrace their companies name will have here in Tyneside. Lets hope they have a re-think. *In case we'd forgotten, we have a stand officially called the 'Sir John Hall' Stand. This is the Leazes end and the sooner it's officially got its name back the better. You'll occasionally hear someone say that they're in the Sir John Hall stand today and you can tell straight away that their NUFC allegiances and memories don't stretch beyond the mid-nineties. For me, there's only one stand that could be re-named and this is the East Stand and I'm afraid this name is spoken for in the shape of the Late Joe Harvey, you can't expect adidas or whoever to have the first clue about these things as they are not Newcastle United people with no idea of our club.
  15. I've still got a 25 inch telly my brother won on Metro radio about 15 years ago. I've never been on radio though. EDIT: What am i talking about. I've been on Nightowls before never won owt though. I'd be staggered if there are people who haven't at least got a mention on Night Owls. Alan Davies keeps twittering about he and his wife listening to Alan Robson by the way... "Alan Robson.....Now there's a real cunt."
  16. Feel for you mate and really sorry to hear that. For now we're sticking to the 'I have to work in England' story which is a whole lot easier to spin. Thanks dude, it's got to beat the "mum and dad aren't friends anymore" line that I had to use. The only bit of advice I would give is that no matter how bad things are try and keep on workable terms with the Mrs, it will make future situations/issues easier and the kids need to see it. Didn't feel great last night, I'm coming down with the lurgy. Read this post and felt worse! I feel for the lads involved but can only stress the importance of never slagging the ex off in front of the kids. At the end of the day they're more important than either of you and they'll be upset as it is.
  17. Just a thought, I think this could be an opportunity for a forward thinking, switched on company, in a joint venture with NUST, to call the fat bastards bluff and make him an offer, (Publicised, of course), to buy the stadium naming rights. He'd then be fucked if he refused as the Company with a NUST contribution would have given him what he wanted, money. He'd be publicly embarrassed for refusing us. If he accepted he'd also be publicly embarrased as the company and NUST could then claim the moral high ground and make a great show of presenting 'St. James' Park', paid and saved for by said company and our support, keeping our heritage. Either way, he'd be made to look a tit and as a body of support we'd show that we can 'put our money where our mouths were' which would put that little chestnut in its place for the little people at other, more jealous clubs. Of course if the NUST has a need for the money and may be closer than we think to getting him out with a buy-out with or without outside help then by all means ignore my suggestion. It is just one of the ways we can put him under pressure. Boycotting his shops is just nowhere near enough. Any action should be in conjunction with a one match total boycott, ST or no ST. It would send a powerful message to everybody, but ultimately, you're only as strong as your members, and if people bury their head in the sand and come out with the usual excuses, 'they don't speak for me', etc then the boycott part won't work. The publicised offer, on the other hand, wouldn't need a boycott...... Just a thought.
  18. I'm just back from Helsinki as a matter of fact where two popular crisp brands are mega-pussi and for the Polanski types out there, mini-pussi. You cannot whack a bit of pussi, to be fair.
  19. I think I know what you're trying to say but don't appreciate being called a 'clown'. Maybe you should look back at a couple of your own posts and have a re-think about calling other people clowns. I didn't renew this year as I didn't want Ashley walking away with my ST money in his pocket if he did sell, (HA!) but have went to every home game and a couple of aways. If he does re-name SJP I won't be back. If something gets organised in the way of a match boycott, I'll support it. I agree with action being called for and hope something that will actually have an impact will be launched.
  20. 25000 season tickets. We'd still have above average gate receipts for the division. The money from these ST's has already gone into his back pocket the club but doesn't mean a fan has to go. Forty odd thousand gates at St. James' Park or ten thousand at 'named-sponsor-here' stadium. That's a message to the owner and any other potential investor.
  21. The name change shouldn't even be up for discussion in my own opinion. I can't believe some are even doing this now, or rather I'm sad to see it, I can unfortunately believe all too well that some people don't care enough about this club and will go along with anything rather than see this oaf for what he is. If the NUST know of potential investors who have been holding back they must push them to make a move now. If they need a further cash outlay the NUST must make moves to ask supporters to help subsidise a move to also get us involved at the club and if this just isn't going to happen then the only real plan we can possibly come up with is simply not to go to the games until at the very least he retracts his statement about re-naming St. James' Park.This could be alongside media campaigning but shouldn't be instead of a boycott. Marches by themselves will fizzle out as a lot of people in modern Britain, (even places like ours who used to be militant) just can't bother themselves to do anything about something they don't like anymore. Apathy rules. It has to be a boycott, I'm afraid.
  22. I won't go back if he re-names the stadium. Unfortunately it's going to take this sort of action to cut the cancer out of our club. I hope he's going to have more than that cheeky bastard with the 'cockney tosser' on the back of of his shirt with him, because unless he's a black belt at baseball bat he's going to need some fucking reinforcements. He's blatantly taking the piss and it only gives me a slight bit of satisfaction that the KK tribunal findings and the fans mocking have obviously got to him so much that he's trying to ruin the club and it's heritage. Words really can't really do justice to the contempt I feel for this cretin right now.
  23. A Welsh man buys several sheep, hoping to breed them for wool. After several weeks, he notices that none of the sheep are getting pregnant, and phones a vet for help. The vet tells him that he should try artificial insemination. The farmer doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, only asks the vet how he will know when the sheep are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and instead will lie down and wallow in grass when they are pregnant. The man hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means he has to impregnate the sheep himself. So, he loads the sheep into his Land Rover, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back, and goes to bed. Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the sheep. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he deduces that the first try didn't take, and loads them in the Land Rover again. He drives them out to the woods, bangs each sheep twice for good measure, brings them back, and goes to bed exhausted. Next morning, he wakes to find the sheep still just standing round. Try again. he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up, and drive them out to the woods. He spends all day shagging the sheep and upon returning home, falls listlessly into bed. The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look out of the window. He asks his wife to look, and tell him if the sheep are lying in the grass. "No", she says, "they're all in the Land Rover....... ......and one of them is beeping the horn!"
