Roy Aitken's Debut

The Harbour Chippy at Amble is fantastic, decent portions and fresh fish with a nice batter. Wen to Pinnacles a month or so ago, it was ok but not superb. No top notch chippy's in the Cramlington locale - the one at Annistford is possibly the best of a poor choice. If we are having fish I would head for the coast although Gorman's seems popular on here. They always taste nicer at somewhere like Whitby or Scarborough sitting by the sea.

Jesus wept. You do realise that parts of France are colder than England in the winter, aye? and you do realise that Jean Claude doesnt really exist dont you? I have a vewy good fwend in Wome named Jean Claude Floot de Ponce-Ponce! He has a wife you know....

Mine did the same thing, I was trying to post a photo of RunGeordieRun from the Arsenal match and it didnt work, changed the setting from yfrog to twitpic and it worked ok after that.

Gutter I believe they were planning to make another film as well, no Hightower or Tackleberry then, meh. RIP

I'd rather come from Helmand Province We wish you did too

He's 42... And evidently has a tenuous grasp on spelling and grammar.

Resisting the temptation to comment on your rubber curtain it was taken down a couple of years ago I think, I stand at the mouth of that tunnel on match days and can't recall having to shift it out me way for a while now.

Good effort Tom, the club could at the very least put a note in the programme as mentioned previously, even a minute's silence for Tore Eikeland and the other people who died wouldn't be inappropriate I reckon, not sure the club would do that though. Getting Eikeland 21 on a Toon top seems a fitting tribute to the lad and his support. RIP Tore

I remember watching Shay and Harper warming up years ago and when the GK coach at the time swung a cross in Harper would try and challenge for a header. One cross was too far out so Shay stayed on his line and Harper pulled off a quite stunning overhead kick to much applause from the Gallowgate. Raker.

Substitute Boumsong for Guivarch. Or Marcelhino. Or Bassedas. Or Viana. Or Andersson. Or Pistone. Tell me when to stop. While I agree we've had home born players who have turned out to be shite, most of the foreign ones at Newcastle have done so spectacularly. Solano, Robert, Ginola etc tbh Obviously we're gonna have more foreign flops than english mostly because weve had alot more foreigners in recent times than homegrown players I think your etc,etc is a bit thin after those three. Even Hamann, although not a failure, kicked us in the teeth and basically told us to fuck off. Asprilla next? Don't forget the Robledo brothers. Albert? Coloccini? Tiote? And the most recent let down was if anything more keen on playing for England (and making a portfolio of how good he is) than earning his huge wages fom the Toon

I think tbh you might have to call your lawyers in because this is a free thinking message board which in no way condones racism but at the same time wont just roll over and censor the views of its members because some random QPR says its wrong. It would no doubt be interesting to see what a court of law would make of your complaint especially as I could pull up a thousand posts from a hundred different Rangers message boards saying far worse about the English and Celtic. And he seemed such a canny fella when he was Harold Bishop in Neighbours.... meh.

Dunno if you heard it last night, but MM was on about N'Zogbia. 'He was treated like a dog by the club, played him at left back a lot...SBR christened him Insomnia' They were all unsure if this was the case and in a flap MM asked for callers to verify. Only the obvious producer in his earpiece telling him it was JFK marginally saved him some face . Thats exactly the sort of basic, utterly incorrect statement they are all capable of making. Poor form.

I used to listen to the Legends show when Eric Gates was on, hated him but he spoke the most sense, when he left it went downhill rapidly. They are all woefully unaware of recent football news despite being on the radio every night and attending matches, none of them seem to understand they can verify pretty easy knowledge they often get wrong by using that internet thingy, any social media is beyind them and their 'banter' is childish, puerile and if a woman (of any age) rings up it's like On the Buses or a Carry On film. Thankfully Total Sport is on BBC Newcastle, wish it lasted another half hour though.

Are you pelanising him for it ? Quality. I was also going to cite Waddle for crimes against the Geordie accent. In that documentary following Graham Taylor and the England team when Ronald 'Cheating Dutchman whose grandparents probably shopped Anne Frank' Koeman does a reverse choke hold on David Platt getting only a yellow then scoring the free kick that kept us away from USA '94 I can recall Lawrie McMenemy uttering in his distinct rumbling tones 'Do we not get a pelanty like?'.

He was given four free season tickets, a Niall Quinn autobiography and a pair of tickets to fly anywhere in the world from sunderland international airport.

Ditto, me n'aal

I think he is overpriced (but so were Carroll and Henderson) but has a lot of potential and would have been a decent signing. I still wish the Toon had taken a chance on Dean Ashton when he was at Crewe, instead he toddled off to Norwich when we would have been a preferred destination imho.

I think I am a bit like that, the Toon make me bipolar when they tease us with promising signings or an upturn in form only to lose to a Blackburn or a Stoke. The reverse is true of course, the Arsenal game being the best example. All part and parcel of the rollercoaster that is NUFC I suppose...

That used to happen every week 93-96 haha them were the days, not always a lass mind. Against Swindon (a game that indirectly saw Sunderland promoted 2 years later for those who know your history) one of Gazza's best games for the toon, after his best goal, its on Jonny's vids on youtube, you see a little body jumping up beside the steward in the Gallowgate, with a black and yellow toon/Brazil hat, that was me. The first game they pulled the fences down after Hillsborough was a home game against Luton in our relegation season, pishy 0-0 draw, I was right at the front of the corner and caught the ball, dropped it and got shouted at from the crowd for taking too long to get it (shows how empty it was). Caught the ball again against Derby was in the Benches and bought the official club video just to see myself, but it wasn't close up. Was ball boy against Oxford a 4-3 win, and I got the last "North East Co-op" tracksuits you had to wear, and there was a big hole on one of the arse cheeks, and I only had red and white boxer shorts on, got so much abuse from the Gallowgate. When I won me holiday on the telly, I mentioned Newcastle United three times, one of them mentioning we'd just beaten Man Utd 3-0 which went down well. Been on telly talking about the toon a few times, and radio fucking loads of times had an epic row with Adrian Durham in which I achieved the impossible, and at the end he said "well perhaps I need to reconsider my view", and in the papers, most recently regarding the Arsenal game last season. I wish to apologise, I used to stand in 'The Corner' and whichever ballboy was allocated the last shiny tracksuit with no arse left in it spent the majority of the match pulling the top down as far as possible to cover the gaping holes in the seat of the pants. Me and my mates contributed to the verbal abuse so for that I am sorry.
