Renton

That's not tough in the slightest tbh. 124351[/snapback] What's your answer then? I think it would be quite a difficult choice tbh, given a) Owen's injury record and his apparent lack of interest in NUFC. If it was just a player vs player comparison then it's Owen every time, but when you take other things into account.... 124355[/snapback] I'd choose Bellamy plus 6 million squid thankyou very much.

Most of his excuses were about us having injuries iirc, not refereeing decisions. Except he called them reasons. Well, these reasons don't seem to be preventing Roeder doing his job. Continue perpetuating the myth Souness was an unlucky manager if you like, but in reality nothing could be further from the truth.

That's not tough in the slightest tbh.

Souness wasn't criticised because we dropped points due to reffing, he was criticised because we played absolutley gash under him, ars. I suppose by your reckoning we've just been lucky under Roeder then?

I think Renton and SMO should come along for this one actually 124319[/snapback] Meenzer and S-O shirley 124321[/snapback] And Renton Threesome. 124324[/snapback] I haven't been out on the piss before or after a match for months actually due to family committments at the weekend, and Saturday is no exception unfortunately (no I am not under the thumb, well, a bit sometimes). I am hoping to go out for the Chelsea match and Shearer's testimonial though. Wish I was going to Oz though - an ambition of mine.

That's weirder than meeting people off the internet tbh. 124312[/snapback] I know.

Then you know little about probability theory. For instance, most of us knew that Souness was in all probability an idiot long before you did, but I'll not start that again. Btw, the Souness returning thing was a typo by me I hope, unless Gemmill gets a consortium going.

Can't see why not. Bellemy works the channels and Owen is predator in the box. It's not like they'd be running into each others space. The only similarity is that they both have pace, which certainly isn't a bad thing. 124305[/snapback] They're also both short and not particularly strong. I would need some convincing.

How about 1984 with Tom Cruise as Winston Smith? You heard it here first tbh. 124296[/snapback] The documentary wasn't about that Animal Farm. 124300[/snapback] I'd imagine you'd have to pay Tom Cruise A LOT! Or maybe not if he's as strange as people make out. I must admit I hve been tempted to voyeur a piss up - spy before you try type thing.

We could play him on the wing though 124285[/snapback] Can you imagine, he makes a triumphant return to Newcastle, signs a life long contract, and O'Neill (hopefully) says "Right Craig, I want you to play on the right wing......".

Saw a documentary on Animal Farm last night. They could remake that too, although I imagine it's been done several times.

I'm still not convinced of him working with Owen either tbh.

Well, he could be excused if he was offering value for money and not just collecting his wages for playing shite most of the time... 124269[/snapback] Well I'm pretty sure I don't offer value for money or perform anything other than shite, but I'm quite happy picking up my wages. 124271[/snapback] Now that sir is an excellent point!

Where does this come from? Strikes me as being completely made-up tbh.

I'm considering it right now as it happens, to improve my prospects lin the long term. I take your point but the contrast with Shearer is still valid imo, but yes, probably unnecessary.

Agreed. Have people forgotten how mercenary Bowyer has been, only refusing to move back to London because they can't match his pay check? I think the contrasting comparison is entirely justified, especially since ratboy has done very little for us apart from cause fights on the pitch. Nice to hear that he was driving at 130 mph and got a slap on the wrist for it as well, the little shit. 124258[/snapback] They couldn't prove he was driving at that speed, he was done for driving at 99 mph. 124262[/snapback] I know, he got a fancy lawyer to the stars to defend him. You can tell obviously I don't like or rate Bowyer, but even the staunchest defender of him would have to admit he has contributed almost bugger all since he joined us. Having said that, it's probably right not to sully the article by even mentioning him. And unfortunately, he is still needed here.

I doubt they will tbh. He'll still be there, even if he is on crutches. It's not really about the match per se is it, more a celebration of his career.

I saw that was on again the other day, good film like. Yul Bryner is a cool dude. 124226[/snapback] Aye, but therein lies the problem, modern stars seem to lack the charisma of the older ones. I mean, where are your Newmans, Redfords, or McQueens today? No one is cool any more or maybe it's just me. Talking of bad remakes, Get Carter with Stallone has to be the worst ever. It was always going to be hard to top Alf Roberts falling from the car park, but Jesus was that remake bad.

Now I know most remakes of films are shite, but they happen anyway, so what film would you like to see be given the 21st century touch? I was watching Westworld the other day, and think it's ripe for being remade. Great plot which could benefit from some decent special effects and more robotic sex. How do I claim my commission?

Or Bellamy's at the training ground. Allegedly. 124192[/snapback] Should be done as a series of biblical friezes I think. Shearer adorned with halo. 124198[/snapback] Like the stations of the cross? Like it! The ending's a bit of an anticlimax though. 124200[/snapback] Did you know (for Gemmill) that the only of the Stations of the Cross during Christ's journey from being condemned to arriving at his place of Crucifixion that is mentioned in the Gospels is Simon of Cyrene being made to help Jesus carry his cross? All the stuff about him meeting his mother on the way, his face being wiped by Veronica and his falls aren't even in the Bible. Not that I'm suggest organised religion would divert from or embellish scripture. 124204[/snapback] Hmmm. Well, at least for the stations of Shearer we will up to 50,000 eye witness reports backed by video evidence to aid our descendents faith!

If you weren't a ST holder you couldn't get a ticket for love nor money against the big teams at that time period, so I settled for the pub, which was still good. Made the Barca game and remember having a very stressful last 20 minutes. I was at Shearer's first home match where he scored a peach of a curling free kick against Wimbledon I think. Then he stopped taking them like that for some reason?

Over the course of a season, luck doesn't come into it. For every match we have been unlucky, we have been lucky in another. We are where we are (currently outside Europe positon) because of Shepherd and Souness, simple as that. What makes this doubly frustrating is that looking at Arsenal and Tottenham, we could easily have been in the CL this year. But at least the nightmare of Souness is over for now.

At statue would be hugely embarassing at this point in time. But as regards part of the ground being named after him, I hardly think a public bar counts. How shit is Shearer's btw.
