  1. Thought this would be more his set of wheels
  2. Mercury Rev - Goddess on a Highway
  3. Been a couple of plane crashes in Brazil in recent years
  4. What a fucking nightmare, how the hell that pair of clowns shoes became a billionaire is beyond me
  5. Was up in Stanley the other week, think the word haggard was invented purely to describe some of the poor souls up there
  6. Don't think telling him to shoot or pull the trigger when he gets in the box would be a good idea
  7. Has our club captain actually said anything about us getting relegated yet? Pretty sure he can spare some time away from his agent\horses to utter a meaningless soundbite
  8. I wonder if we'll ever get to find out his real age
  9. This the ping pong guy? Not the first time he's written Grade A shite, just second rate Talksport drivel dressed up as "proper" journalism
  10. Makes you wonder that when Allardyce was banging on about Owen's alleged release clause, that he wanted someone to make an offer so he could get rid
  11. That's bollocks, he came on a free transfer iirc, hence the silly wages.
  12. From the Sun..... 14 players on £50k-plus THESE are the players draining the resources at relegated Newcastle.

VALUE FOR MONEY? No. APPEAR TO CARE? No. VIDUKA JUST 25 starts in two years, only six this season - and no goals - for Aussie striker Mark Viduka. At least he arrived on a free from Boro.

COST PER GAME: £221,481. VALUE FOR MONEY? No. APPEAR TO CARE? No. MARTINS NIGERIAN striker cost a cool £10m three years ago.

  13. Can't argue with any of it, says it all that the Halls sold up to guy they never even bothered to meet face to face
  14. beat me to it. He can rot in Gatesheads reserves for all I care. I'd put him in America to be honest, fucker's only after money anyway. He was after beating Bobby Charlton's record of goals for England, but Capello has pretty much thrown that chance out of the window.
  15. Got more chance of turning into the Phoenix Club with the current lot in charge. Brian Potter would probably do a better job too
  16. Aye, my aunt works at SJP, not looking good for her and a fair few others tbh
  17. Can't think of too many players who've got their move away from us in the recent past going on to bigger and better things, kiss of death tbh.
  18. Phil Brown milking it on the pitch probably had as much to do with him topping his tan up in the nice sunny weather, as being happy Hull stayed up.
  19. This thread is like a gift that keeps on giving
