Haha "ta very mooch" great man ! He's always good value when he's on the box . The SSports 'Those Were The Days' interviews with Stelling and ex-players worth looking up . He always peaks so affectionately about his time up here . Great tales about folk stopping him in Bigg Mkt to kiss his feet and how he thought it was ok to spark up on the team bus after his debut . Him n Albert used to buzz off the Sid The Sexist video with Albert especially giving all the lines a whirl in Julies most weekends .
Have you got a link to that Those Were The Days interview? I remember watching it at the time and it was quality. Never been able to find it since though.

Was out with him on Friday. Top lad
He didn't used to be. Used to be an absolute cunt of the highest order but maybe Durham have brought him down to earth.
If he was out with J69 he's probably just as you remembered him.
Ha! He got turned down for England at age group level three times for "attitude problems".

Ten years ago despite it being the fifteenth on Thursday? Hmm.

Here, did Pardew sign Dyer for West Ham. I know a lot of people don't like Dyer, but I'm not ignorant enough to see that on his day he's one of THE best players we've had in my life time. I saw him a few times last season for West Ham and he was mint really good. He's 32 and now out of contract, as back up I'd say look Kieron we'll give you £30k per game. Looks like Boro are ganna get him though.
No, Curbishley.
-
Off to Liverpool? They're said to be monitoring his contract situation at the minute according to Sky.
Can see it happening as well, but will be absolutely gutted if he does go, one of my favourite Newcastle players
-
PM please..?
-
He's moved back in with his parents, or did a year ago.
He makes footballers seem clever and he also loves his charlie..
-
He's currently training with Arsenal.
It follows Lehmann's return, when's Henry returning?
-
Anyone go to the event he was speaking at tonight?
-
Ireland was also In Koos on Tuesday, as was Nile Ranger who was going mental because they wouldn't let him in VIP as he didn't have a wristband.

Having the correct mentality and the ability to work very hard is a talent in itself, one that both Dyer and Woodgate lacked.
Very true. You can't say "if only" about Pedro, he was a model professional in both looking after himself and working hard I understand.
I get the impression Dyer and Woodgate are very thick which might have something to do with it.
A lad i went to uni with, his dad taught Woodgate and said he was thick by footballer standards, which makes him borderline special!
And agree with people about Shearer, he was certainly gifted, but allied to his mentality and strength of character he stepped it up even higher and there are many players who would have been finished at the top level with even 1 of his injuries never mind all of them.
I believe his nickname amongst footballers is 'plank' if footballers think you're thick, you must be pretty fucking thick!
-
He must surely be finished by now.
None of Ferguson's central midfield purchases ever seem to work.
Like Roy Keane?

Bassong is a decent defender. And I know for a fact it he would have stayed if just a mediocre contract was put in front of him. He was on £5k pw in our relegation season and all he wanted was put up to £15k with the promise of renegotiating if were promoted.
Another player where the £8m looked too good to turn down for a player who cost £500k? and wouldn't have took £300k in wages. I think Bassong needs games and not be in and out. £7.2m profit or a centre half who could have been the bedrock for a decade. Ashley only goes one way.
Spot on that like
I don't think it is. I don't think he'd have stayed for 15k and championship football once spurs came in with champions league football and a juicy contract. Where did you get this info from like?
They weren't in the Champions League then..
-
Currently in the office having an argument, that he was better than Zidane..Apparently Zizou had the vision and could dominate games, Ronaldo was a good player with pace, hmph!!
-
Half the country call our relationship with Sir Bobby in question anyway, saying we hounded him out etc etc.
Well we did....
Speak for yourself mate....you're guilty of doing what the press do and lumping us all in together as we're the fuckin borg from star trek or something and we all think exactly alike.
Some wanted rid of Robson, chiefly Freddy fuckin Shpeherd.
Some were quite vocal on this and Shpherd listened to them and sacked him without having a successor lined up.
As far as I could make out most were a bit on the diasappointed side at finsihing 5th and not winning the UEFA cup. And there were concerns about the behaviour of the players. But wasnt the best, most qualified man to turn that round already in the job?
I didn't, but I clearly remember coming onto Newcastle messageboards and people claiming we should get him out....
Our main error was who we replaced him with...A cardinal sin..

An even better article there in The Guardian yesterday...

Some of you I believe sometimes go and watch the reserves etc. Who was the biggest disappointment as they didn't quite cut the grade but perhaps looked at one stage a great prospect to succeed in the first team in years to come...?
Also who stood out a mile in the reserves or youth teams and looked leagues above the rest and looked destined to make it and did...?
My dad once told me how he used to watch the youth teams sometimes on a Saturday morning with Steve Watson standing out a mile, with his size and skill levels high above the rest..
Also, remember Lewis Guy, a good goalscoring record at youth and reserve levels, and Robson wouldn't let him out on loan as he didn't want him to get injured and saw him as a potential first team player...Now he is playing at MK Dons after Souness gave him one appearance against Sporting Lisbon in the waffa cup..
-
Is he injured?
Remember seeing he had signed a new long term deal a couple of months ago, and I know he is highly rated at the club..Anyone know as surely he could be given a chance at the minute with the injury crisis...
-
I actually like Savage, at least he tells it how it is - no arse licking like the rest of them.
James Corden has tweeted tonight - he was at the West Ham match, doubtful if they are true but we shall see..
Curtis Davies is going to Birmingham , would make sense with Scott Dann out...
And we're going to complete the signings of S. Ireland and Jason Puncheon...
-
Agree re: Waddle like, always talks a lot of sense about the game. Just don't mention pelanties.
think he's embarrassing myself, Alan Hansen started out on sky. Lee Dixon is another possible, I quite like his analysis and he doesn't show an obvious bias.
Did you see Dixon's reaction to Barton grabbing his cock at Torres?
I chinned Dixon on twitter. He was so devastated with my comment he sent back a blank message. Does that mean hes reported me or that I just knocked the wind right out of his sails?
haha what did you say?
-
The recent Richard Keys & Andy Gray sexism row reminded me of this balanced piece of presenting they both did:
-
Given that CT appears to go to very few first team games (despite living in the area), I'll take his opinion on reserve team players with a pinch of salt.
And Beardsleys and Hughtons and Henry Winters etc etc etc
Aye Hughton. So, surely he watched enough of Ferguson to know he wasn't ready for this level hence his lack of game time and having others playing ahead of him week in week out.
In fairness to Pardew he's going to want to make a good start to the job and will rightly, imo, utilise his experienced squad to get him those results.
In my job if I had 2 lads doing the same one, one a brand new'un and another with years of experience, I'd use the experienced lad to get the big job done. Often regardless of their work ethic etc because I know the skills are there, it's just finding a way to get the best from him.
As much as I respect Hughton, his assertion Lua Lua wasn't read was one of his mistakes. He was by a million miles the best player in League One till he broke his leg. Look at Brighton's shit form since that happened, and the way Jonas is playing he could've been a good option especially with Jonas and Routledge playing one good game in five.
Regarding Ferguson, seen him playing full back at reserves a lot but he's equally adept further up the park, he's a good prospect. Looked excellent against Aldershot Stanley in the League Cup.
Who the fuck are Aldershot Stanley!?!

I believe Ranger signed the bumper five year deal when Mr Shearer was in charge. From memory anyway..
