Listened to it on the radio at the SCS in Boldon Colliery. The complimentary Matteus Rose was flowing that night let me tell you -

One of the best nights of my life -
'Pissword' would've been better. Like the copper off 'Allo 'Allo uses for his Gmail account

We're going to get a cracking deal

Don't know if it got a mention on here but yesterday was 20 years to the day since we beat Man Utd 5-0. -
Crucial final session of the day.

I think the bookies have Sunderland and Burnley pretty much level pegging with Hull just behind.
-
If you had a lot of money to throw at a PL club then would definitely pick Sunderland.
-
There's a few teams that are also pretty shit but it's difficult to see them finishing above more than two of them.

Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team
Alex replied to Kid Dynamite's topic in Newcastle Forum
They don't even try and understand. We're deluded because we think we're a massive club and at the same time we're small time for loving a manager who never won anything. -

Just warming up for next season's argument about who's the biggest side in the championship -
I disagree, it's not like being part of the England football squad where training etc. helps you gain experience. It's just sitting around and carrying drinks.

As is your second point -
The lack of tour matches (especially given has hasn't featured in the ODIs) means the experience he'll gain will be negligible if he doesn't play in the tests.

Bit of trivia: All England's XI have a first class century to their name. Batty is down to come in at no. 11 and averages just under 24 in first class cricket. Incidentally, I thought that Jonathan Agnew in his BBC column made a good point when he said there wasn't much point in taking Hameed if they weren't going to play him. Although I suspect they might think he's a bit too similar in style to Cook.

He took it way beyond that though with his dedicating wins to the owner and the like when it was completely unnecessary and also when anyone with a modicum of commonsense would know it would alienate the vast majority of the fans. -
A few of the ones I know have said, without any prompting, that they'd swap places with us in a heartbeat, or words to that effect. I think most probably would but wouldn't like to admit it to Newcastle fans.

A more continental name

A few years back I was in the one on Saltmeadows Road in Gateshead and got a breakfast special (or whatever it was called) which was basically coffee and a croissant or pain au chocolat. Asked for the latter and the lass didn't have a fucking clue what I was on about.
