To win an Olympic gold medal

Never mind

It's a terrible idea like. Can't help but wonder if some big name is going to announce they want to compete because it makes no sense otherwise to bring this in at such a late stage. Top pros will either by in a training camp with a fight coming up or not in camp and overweight (even if they look after themselves they'll still be at least a stone heavier than their normal fighting weight you'd have thought). So that would pretty much rule all of them out unless they had some prior knowledge this was going to happen. And it seems to have taken most people in the boxing game by surprise.

Think it was PaddockLad on here who said what Leicester were doing was an extreme version of the season we came 5th. I.e. a sort of 'perfect storm' of key players staying fit and the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City performing well below their normal selves. I do think the TV money has levelled the playing field making it less important to be in the Champions League to be able to compete financially but I don't think league challenges from smaller clubs are set to become the norm by any means.

Just realised I was thinking of Rushden and Diamonds for that friendly. Anyway, as you were
-
It says in the article qualifying is next month
-
Remember Colne Dynamoes btw? We played them in a friendly when KK was manager first time round iirc
-
Had a quick look and Northampton Town were runners-up in the Second Division (just behind us) that season.
-
They weren't even a league club until earlier this century.
-
Also seems ridiculously late in the day to be moving the goalposts. Tell you who could easily win a medal btw - Amir Khan.

Interesting development: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/36425046

Think Haye would struggle to make the cruiserweight limit anyway. But aye, I think he beats Bellew either way.

Milner and Lallana also lack pace. -
Ask Stevie

Heard that McClaren wanted rid as it happens. Wouldn't surprise me if he was being undermined to that extent from the off. Not a defence of his time here as a whole but I can see the fuckwits running the show seeing it as a way of saving money.

Fantastic performance by Tony Bellew at the weekend. Unbelievable the amount of world champions Britain has at present.

Should definitely be in the squad like -
Hope Steven Taylor goes with him

At first I found it difficult not associating Archer with Dr. Katz's son.
-
I know it being a cartoon will put some people off but I think Archer is fucking mint.

Whenever I see Dragon Tits mentioned in here it reminds me of that old joke: "What do you call a Chinese woman with no legs?"

Season Ticket Renewal/Apathy - £25 Half Season tickets
Alex replied to Tooj's topic in Newcastle Forum
Definitely plan on going to a few games next season and am looking forward to it for the first time in what seems like fucking ages. Not going to get a ST though. -
Was saying the same thing to my lass the other day. Corbyn's every bit as anonymous as his predecessor. They should be all over this like a cheap suit.
