  1. As has been said, last year we were without Tiote, (ACN) and Cabaye, (Ray Stubbs) in the middle of the park and we were over run by an in form Spurs with an 'Arry love-in being in full effect due to the England/court business. We should do better this year and I'm hoping our midfield are as aggressive and positive as they were against Chelsea. We're due a win down there and I have another sneaky feeling we will get a draw at worst.
  2. Heard a tale of someone round our way going up to Bedlington meet his then girlfriends family. They were in the middle of their tea when his lass took him in the house. They had a pet dog. The Fatha says "Do you like dergs, son?" as he was eating his tea. The lad replied, "What?" Fatha repeats himself, "Dergs! Do you like dergs?" The lad unsure what the Fatha is saying said, "err, divven' knaa, but I'll try some if there's owt left?." (think about it).
  3. Scudamore is the bloke who's on record as saying he thought that a perpetual 'top 4' of Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool was a god thing when those clubs looked like sealing their little glass ceilings over the sub-5th placed clubs. I'm pretty much sure he was for the 39th game as well where the top five couldn't play each other in the extra game because he wanted to spread out the sky's chosen few as Gupta in Delhi or Yung Leez Mag in Singapore wouldn't be interested in anybody else and it also wouldn't be fair on the top five if they played each other and potentially missed out on a trophy/European place yet didn't seem concerned that a team could be relegated by playing a team going for the title in their '39th game'. The man is a wanker.
  4. Which United is that then? If you're going to come on a NUFC board do try to remember our name, unless you support Man U I don't understand you referring to them as simply 'United' as it's almost a term of endearment. Now be a good lad and don't do it again or I'll get fucking angry. Welcome to our board.
  5. Was going to say, 'maybe J69 will know?' but thought you'd come in and confirm/correct me anyway.
  6. Me too! Aye, didn't read Henda's post through regarding the 'real friends' bit.
  7. Only 33!!??? Happy birthday.
  8. Just found this as last nights match put it in my mind.
  9. I'd guess he's always been a manic depressive all his adult life and has become addicted to alcohol through this. He is a shambles and it's sad to see, how his ex-wife remembers him I don't know and don't think anyone will condone him hitting her in the past. It isn't black & white as Caulkin's article says.
  10. Think you're being harsh to Henda11 and to a man with many demons and problems in his life and by association his families lives.
  11. Just about to get a donner kebab from a place in Wallsend that does a 'good' one with a nice chilli sauce, always fresh salad and pitta bread on the side so you can make it up fresh. Haven't had a kebab for months so the mouth is watering as I type.
  12. JFK interview with Twat Richard Keys inviting Geordies to call in thank Joe for the great job he did in 'rescuing' us. http://www.talksport...wcastle-191086? Just fucking (warning, cliche alerts on warp factor ten drive).
  13. :lol: (I only watched it up to the point where they turned the music on but I'd seen enough by then).
  14. Take it back!!! Try just getting a normal cheap-ish pram that DOES NOTHING other than being a pram then switching to a easily foldable buggy for about £50 when the baby gets a bit older. Easier, less hassle and cheaper. In a couple of years you'll think 'what a waste of money' I promise you.
  15. All those years I sang along to 'I should be so lucky, (lucky in love)' by wor Kylie I never realised it was about a frustrated young teenage lass who was just hoping that for once she could be 'lucky, lucky lucky in love' for once. Quite overwhelming the feeling of hope and frustration* in that track. * Hoping you'll get a glimpse of more than her shoulders in the bath scene and ultimately being frustrated when you don't.
  16. Here's Gloomy and the lads getting physical at the gym.....
  17. Slept in a pub car park near wembley once for the charity shield which was err, interesting.
  18. Looks like Stalin made his subjective editing presence felt with the respective Ramires/Colo incidents over the weekend with one completely wiped from history with the other taking on an exaggerated importance to the game.
  19. Good luck with that, you'll have to have a mass evacuation of Londoners from London to accomplish that one. Have a good night!
  20. There's a Celtic fan from Glasgae gets in my club. Ex-British Army. Wonder he thinks of your patter? Anyway, Fraser Forster to illegal British wars and Ireland. Well done you.
  21. Forest 'Fallen giants'? I've a lot of respect for what Forest achieved under Cloughie and wouldn't undermine those achievements at all, however it was a one off purple patch in that club's history, mate, they are hardly giants of the English game. Leeds too were nothing before Revie and their own purple patch which again I'm not undermining for what these sides did on the pitch. Newcastle Utd were a giant of the English game and are still a big club through this even though it's been far too long without a trophy for us. That we're still the eighth most successful club when our last domestic trophy was in 1955 and European success was in 1969 shows how successful we were. No offence as well, but our eleven titles/cups (not including a load of near misses), were harder won against other big city clubs with no sugar daddies than the the majority of your own I'd hazard a guess at, obviously your European Cup was the hardest thing you'll have won hands down. By the way, that Crack Italian side you beat in the final, Inter, were one of the sides that were beaten by ourselves in Europe not too long after and we also beat your mates, the most successful team in Scotland, ;) in the semi-final and the team that murdered a strong Leeds to win the cup. I completely agree that SKY bullshit the Premier league. It's still the richest league in the world if not best it's in the top bracket despite the lack of respect you give to the 'likes of Stoke, Wigan' etc. Also, while you're on about sky money, I did ask your fellow fans why they think they'd have such a huge advantage in the PL with the tv revenue when all your competitors would have the same money as yourselves? Your crowds would dwarve Wigan but they wouldn't dwarve at least half of the league and you couldn't compete against financially doped clubs like Chelsea and Man City nor could you touch Liverpool or Man Utd for revenue..........soooooooo...........how would you do so well? Anyway, I'm off to petition the PL about there being a break-away North-East League, There'll be us, the Mackems, Boro, Darlo, Hartlepool, Gateshead, Blyth Spartans and we'll chuck in Carlisle and Scarborough for good measure. SKY will show anything, (Irish league anyone?) and will fund our league but obviously we wont get the same money as the PL so our recruitment might suffer but we'll still have our big crowds but only now we'll share our trophies with Sunderland as we dominate our league. UEFA might let us in the qualifying rounds of the CL and it'll be a struggle with our reduced talented pool of players but we'll still have the odd upset and play above ourselves. I think it's a great idea but we'd love a bit of advice from a club in a similar set up to my proposed 'North-East League'. Any ideas who I could ask?
  22. Yes I'm aware Rangers have won more than yourself, was just highlighting some of your fans boasts in a lighthearted way. Still insisting your crowds were bigger than they actually were? (Or have you knocked that bit of 'misinformation on the head?)
  23. This whole argument could've and was used for the cups. No matter where we are in the league, the cups will be low priority which is scandalous when it's our best chance of some glory. It will be a taller order to win this than it would've been to win one of the domestic trophies. This team v Bradford or Swansea anyone?
