Faith No More - The Real Thing

The Who - Who are you

If you haven't been a smoker then you perhaps don't realise how satisfying it is to sit down with a fag and a pint, it adds to the pub experience. I have been a smoker and yes it was satisfying however I also find it satisfying having a wank but Im sure its not acceptable to drop me kegs and crack one off in the Dog and Duck on a Saturday afternoon. Trust me, its verymuch frowned upon in most circles.

From The Sun, Saturday, Sam Allardyce quoted about the construction of a planning centre for him and his staff at the club's Darsley Park training ground: "The war room we had at Bolton was where we worked out all our strategies and planning. “There would be a staff of 22 in there, comprising coaches, physios, psychologists, masseurs, even the kit man. “Everyone made a contribution and everyone was equal. We could be there three hours sometimes and no one else was allowed in. “We would talk about our players’ strengths and weaknesses, their mental toughness or lack of it, the lot. "We would look at videos, stats and anything relevant. We would also discuss the opposition and examine their players as well. “We would write our objectives for the short and long term on the wall and go back to them at various points of the season to see what we had achieved, where we had gone wrong and what we needed to do. Nothing was left to chance. “Professional football is a huge industry, very important to thousands of people’s lives — particularly in a football-crazy city like Newcastle. “You must not leave any stone unturned if you are going to be successful. “The war room was where we worked it all out and it will be a fundamental part of making Newcastle a team to be reckoned with. “To achieve what I need for Newcastle, we have to do it my way or there’s no point me being here. “I’m used to people laughing and mocking me and then proving them wrong. “At Bolton I was accused of buying mercenaries. But if they had been, they would not have been so committed to the club. “I was criticised for signing old men past their best. Yet those saying that didn’t know what they were talking about. “We signed a World Cup winner in Youri Djorkaeff and he was magnificent for us when no one else was prepared to gamble on him. I brought in Jay-Jay Okocha, Ivan Campo, Kevin Davies and Bruno N’Gotty, all of whom were under 30, and the only one who cost us a fee was N’Gotty at £500,000. “That lot together nowadays would cost you more than £20m and they could all play. “But any manager will tell you the pool of top-class players is getting smaller. Football just is not developing the way it used to. "They used to roll off a production line in Holland. Not any more. Germany is suffering the same as we are in England. “Portugal is the best place for young talent now but we’re all like piranhas trying to get in there. "Africa turns out some phenomenal players, yet they cost a fortune. It means you have to work even harder to get the right players. But I must make Newcastle the place everyone wants to be.”

There's a Jeep Cherokee and 4 asians smoking in Glasgow airport right now, fine them I say !

Sam Allardyce, the Newcastle manager, was re-evaluating his move for Barcelona's injury-prone Brazilian international Edmilson last night after it emerged that the World Cup winner was seeking an £80,000-a-week deal. Allardyce, who has also expressed interest in Barcelona forward Eidur Gudjohnsen, had been ready to gamble on Edmilson, 30, who has a history of injury problems and is likely to be sidelined for up to six months following knee surgery. While Edmilson's wage demands might be compared with Michael Owen's £103,000-a-week contract it would dwarf the deals recently agreed with new recruits Mark Viduka and Joey Barton and could raise eyebrows among the new powers-that-be at Newcastle, where Mike Ashley's £133.8 million takeover is effectively complete. Allardyce has also initiated talks with Barcelona over former Bolton forward Gudjohnsen, 28, which shows that he is drawing up a contingency plan to cope with the loss of strikers Owen or Obafemi Martins should they take advantage of get-out clauses in their contracts. The Newcastle manager, who is to add England coach Steve Round to his staff, returned last night after a two-day trip to Barcelona having spoken to Edmilson. The former Lyon player has a year left on his Nou Camp contract and would cost a nominal fee. Newcastle believe he could play again as early as October. Meanwhile, Newcastle have signed Paris St-Germain defender David Rozenhal, 26, a Czech Republic international, for a fee of £2.9 million.

I too reckon Martins is gone. Can I use a hairdryer to peel the letter off the back of a newcastle top? No reason like Jimbo might be able to tell you. I'm investigating as we speak....

17 goals in his first season under a shit manager in a shit team, I'm willing to believe that he can improve on that under Allardyce being fed from a better midfield with real tactics.

I bet half of the votes are from the Scots or from folk that bought Martins shirts.

Deal confirmed on .cock

from .cock Big Sam In Talks With Coach SAM Allardyce has spoken to Steve Round about joining Newcastle United's coaching staff. The Magpies boss told nufc.co.uk: "We have been talking to Steve Round about coming in and working alongside Nigel Pearson as a first team coach, and those talks are ongoing." Round has worked with Steve McClaren at both Middlesbrough and England.

Would Wenger be seeing something that we are missing then? I agree with what has been said regarding his scoring against lesser opposition and his first touch being a [sarcasm]bit[/sarcasm] hard but why would he be on the top of Wenger's list? Yeah but didn't Wenger also want Jenas the penis to replace Viera at one stage, until he actually watched him play another game besides the ones against the arse? Point it moot anyway, Wenger will be working in Spain in the next couple of weeks anyway. Martins destroyed the Arse in a Champions League game a couple of years ago didn't he? I wonder if that has owt to do with it. I agree with Gemmill anyway. He did and there are alot of posts on the Arsenal forum bringing that game up. I think that he has potential myself. Would hate to see him go to another English club. Agreed, specially somewhere like Arsenal, you could just see Wenger nurturing him into a real star player.

Owen, Martins will score more goals and has age on his side.

Just a little word of warning, if you ever dare to wear that when you're not driving then you deserve to be shot. quoted for truth

Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce is expected to appoint Steve Round as his number two at St James' Park. Round was a coach at Middlesbrough when Steve McClaren was in charge at the club and later joined him as part of the England team backroom staff. Round's playing career was ended by injury in 1993 and he began his coaching career with Derby before moving to Boro in 2001. Nigel Pearson was the previous number two at Newcastle. He worked Glenn Roeder and took charge of first-team affairs for the final game of the 2006-07 Premier League season but has now left the club.

Why ? does it have healing properties or something ?

Agreed, but I guess it depends on the terms of the agreement.

Thats why the deal has only been agreed in principle.

Talksport are saying Edmilson has agreed to in principle to join Newcastle.

www.ebuyer.co.uk and aria.co.uk and overclockers.co.uk are the better sites to be looking at for components. Look carefully at your spec vs budget and think carefully if it would be better to buy a machine from Dell, they do some outstanding deals and you could buy a better prebuilt machine for your money. http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products...;l=en&s=dhs

Tevez (and Eddie Johnson ) scores for Argentina Vs USA in Copa America lastnight: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2envx_argentina-vs-usa

http://www.toontastic.net/forum/index.php?...14468&st=20

Depending on the money, I'd love to see us sign Tevez, he's proven he can cut it in the Premiership and would complemtent Viduka, the other I would like to see is Afonso Alves from Heerenveen.

It seems it may be just a matter of time before we lose our best strikers due to minimum fee release clauses, who would you like to see the club bring in as replacements ????
