I agree. There are plenty of people who are uneducated about Marty, as you say refer them to Alex's dossier and educate them. If they are still unconvinced, they are lost - forget about them and move on.

Great news! When will this happen? 99825[/snapback] Tuesday. Which tuesday though is anyone's guess.

Ahh yes, I remember that now. T'was funny like. Definitely the way he tells it! I'm slowly forgiving him for Mr Bean. Very slowly mind.

99811[/snapback] Can someone give me a synopsis please? Wtf is this thread about?

And anyway, don't we need our own forum which we can run for a bit before deleting it?

You can tell you're desperate to be a mod.

Thing is, they presented virtually no attacking threat. Unfortunately neither did we.

That's great. Don't forget to divide it into three columns and put some pics in.

I thought he was poor again personally. It strikes me he has only one good attribute, and that is the ability ot run people off the ball. I heard people chanting "Boummm" again but he did nothing to warrant it for me.

I'll climb the Tyne bridge with a banner.

Gol or Craig, will you depart from your normal editorial stance and come out in favour of O'Neill? Alex, have you finished that dossier yet? Edit: Above - good!

where did you get those odds? 99757[/snapback] It was 2 days after Souness was sacked. I heard a little whisper back then (only told Craig though, as I get enough shit on here for my Alan Smith/Steed Malbranque/Boa Morte rumours 99763[/snapback] good for you mate, you put much on? 99768[/snapback] Not a life changing amount, no. As Alex said (implied), it won't happen now 99771[/snapback] We need to start a campaign man 99773[/snapback] I'm onboard. Let's e-mail the Chronicle etc.

Shit, meant to say iri. D'Oh!

Obviously irci.

Fuck off.

I believe all midfielders should help out in the scoring and providing of goals. I don't expect him to score many goals, but if he's just going to be another central defender then I think that's a waste of a player. Incidentally, there is no excuse for his feeble shooting imo, he needs to practice more in training. 99601[/snapback] Would you sign Claude Makelele? 99714[/snapback] Yeah, you've got a good point there Gol I concede. Makelele would be better if he scored more goals though.

Well I wouldn't do it myself and I'm not defending them but it really doesn't bother me. As you say I'm biased though and I accept that. I also have never liked Smith which doesn't help.

Sorry Alex, that's bitter manc bollocks actually. Obviously a lot of scousers have had to move from Liverpool, the same as have had to move from all northern cities including Newcastle and Manchester. 99699[/snapback] I believe of all English cities Liverpool has had the highest rates of people moving away from it since the 1960's. 99704[/snapback] Might be true although I doubt it is much worse than here. If so the reasons would be the same - unemployment and industrial decline forcing people out. Also iirc Liverpool was the only northern city with a growing population at the last census. Actually, while were on the subject of distasteful football chants, can I just say it pisses me off when we sing "you'll never get a job" etc. I wouldn't mind it once but it gets ridiculous when it's repeated 30 times at away matches. Newcastle has historically had near identical problems. Freedom of speech, banter, and all that but sometimes people should think more about what they are singing. More offensive than the alleged Alan Smith chant to me tbh.

Sorry Alex, that's bitter manc bollocks actually. Obviously a lot of scousers have had to move from Liverpool, the same as have had to move from all northern cities including Newcastle and Manchester. I've spent a lot of time in both cities (although admittedly I haven't been to Manchester in a while) and I would have to say Liverpool is the superior city in many ways. Certainly I don't think there would be any more reason for a manc to love and stay in Manchester than for a scouser to do the same in Liverpool. Plus I know plenty of scousers who would never consider leaving the city. Basically both cities are much of a muchness really. 99696[/snapback] tbh 99699[/snapback] Nice one la!

Allerdyce would be acceptable but with O'Neill I feel we would be getting the right balance of experience and ambition. His appointment would really excite me and be a massive coup for Newcastle. I believe O'Neill could completely transfrom the club in the long term if he gets and takes the chance.

I really, really hope so. Please let this be true.

Well, yes, I have had countless discussions trying to get us to use "ised" instead of "ized" but to no avail. Obviously it's affecting my internet writing now. Apparently though "ized" is the true English variant though, which the American's have correctly adopted, so now you know!

Your editor must be in tears. 99656[/snapback] Genuinely lost me Dotbum. If it's the z spelling, well unfortunately that's editorial policy.

An excellent first season is a hell of a lot better than we're getting from Luque this season though, isn't it? The truth is, even though he was shite last season, he created more goals than anyone else in midfield. And it's goals that count, innit?
