Home at last

Ive had an extra 10 in a villa in portugal (home tomorrow) its been torturous

Im in portugal right now as it happens, was meant to be home thursday gone flight is now booked for next saturday, its crazy only brought a weeks worth of underwear

no chance he never managed many goals in the first place, his best return on a season was 11 in 33

we've been officialy promoted for what? 2 days? and already there are articles all over the place talking about us in a very negative way considering how often we're told that newcastle is not a special club/fans/place etc the journalists dont half love to train their beady eyes on us and fire away with clichéd trash as soon as we start getting positive mentions from some quarters got to wonder why

what an enormous load of wank

well supposedly we should be in for someone to challenge rooney for the top scorer next season he'd do

believe it when its happened to be honest we've been lied to plenty in the past and the lack of direct, accountable quotes from either ashley(I know he rarely speaks) or llambias(untrustworthy anyway) makes me all the more sceptical

Oooooooo

Obviously, I got the impression that wasn't part of the bet though. Might be wrong. You're correct Luke, it was my initial outlook in a way which could secure my bet, 45 minutes to hang onto however. I stand corrected again Been sleeping alright mate?

Obviously, I got the impression that wasn't part of the bet though. Might be wrong. same here tbh you alright craig?

I'll let you off ...this time

did I?

Lionel "not in the same league as rooney according to phil thompson the big nosed joke of a pundit" Messi might be a bit long to catch on but I like it, whata a fucking player that guy is hard to believe he'll be on the opposite flank to jonas in the argentina side this summer

Really? Pretty much the same team with Duff/Beye/Bass/Owen/Martins/Duke etc got us relagated last season. I'd have thought any promoted team should be happy with just staying up. agree with barney, I'd say 14-17 would be about acceptable, its hard to stay up in your first season, despite the PL experience of a lot of our players they've been playing CCC football for a year now, it might take some getting used to back in the top flight, especially if we get a tough opening run anything above 14th would be a damn good first season back, top half would be stunning Nope, I'm serious. If that cock-head Ashley wants any praise hes got to put in some hard graft and frankly 16th or 17th and therefore a surviving by the skin of our teeth is frankly unacceptable. 5 year plan and all that... We had a team that was well capable of staying up in 2009 - we didn't because the club was run like a fucking shambles. Now everyone is wax lyrical about how well things are round away from front of shop - well fucking prove it... 16th or lower won't do that for me. Im not talking about whether I'll be praising ashley or not fact is we've come back at the first attempt and many of our fans and the media will still be rating us as a PL side but we're not, we're a newly promoted side from the CCC with a different manager (aside from a brief caretaker spell) and an 11 laregly the same as the one that went down hughton has earned his chance to manage in the PL but thats not to say I dont have my doubts about him, I dont think hes tactically astute enough and I dont know if he'll be able to handle the side when things arent going as well as they have this year so from the "team has just come up" pov I'll take 17th as a season in the PL to build upon also on the "praising ashley front" I'll praise ashley if he backs hughton properly, sacks llambias and doesnt sell players as soon as there is a bid the on the pitch stuff is down to other people

beating us? sam will be playing for a draw surely dangerous opponents the newly promoted

bollocks

Because he just looks so good and different to what we are used to. The way he commands the box and distribution look first class. He just looks so energetic which is also his one weakness, however once he calms down a tad he will be the finished article IMO If we are not careful he will be away. on that, I hope harper can manage more throws like he did for jonas' run and shot off the post absolutely pinpoint throw out that nearly got us a goal, we need it more

Is that the song about his missus? Anyway-not read the whole thread, but what the fuck was Enrique doing for their goal last night? enrique? what the fuck was colo doing? he didnt even jump with his man (who was the one who scored) just screwed his face up and stood there

I can forgive MA if he does the right things over the next season, thats not to say I'll have been wrong about him in the past but it will require a continued change in his behaviour first on the list SACK LLAMBIAS!

the side ticker was running through the leagues on SSN just now and we're there at the top in yellow with a P next to the name 's nice

Calderwood being interviewed on SSN now and his blackberry went off (I think it was his could be interviewers but you get my point) confused the fuck out of me, I have that message tone

Took him a while to notice eh

Yes!!!!!
