i still don't get why the fuck we weren't in for robbie keane.

Any notch replacement would do. Just a replacement

Perhaps we'll see the start of a new fluid 433 with ben arfa and jonas supporting a rejuvinated shola up front from out wide with Barton and Nolan offering support and tiote holding. A dynamic front 6 that fires us to Europe. Perhaps Carroll will prove an expensive flop, weighed down by the price tag of 35m. Perhaps I'll flap my arms and fly to the moon.

Thicker than deadman

Farce

Tbf I would have him straight back but he can't play up top can he?

Pm me too please. I did start the thread afterall

Some good news at last but what's the use if Carroll isn't replaced?

in a nutshell

Why fucking Liverpool? Man U or Chelsea I could understand but fucking Liverpool ffs. It's not much of a step up.

I agree with leazesmag. It's a sad day for the club, particularly if some of the money isn't revinvested quickly and wisely. However, it does look a stupid fee and hopefully one we look back upon as too good to turn down. It just sends out all the wrong messages about the direction the club is taking... Again

I doubt this is a last minute deal. But for how long was it in the offing? Was hughton sacked because he knew it was on the cards and squared up to the fat man. Did Carroll really hand in the transfer request or was it a face saving pr stunt by the fat man? Or was this really just an offer too good to refuse which a want away striker helped facilitate?

If we do get someone in last minute, it's bound to be someone shite like Heskey or Carlton Cole

I don't him to go but 35m is a riculous price for him. Everyones got a price - who'd say he would go for anything near that 18 month ago? Can't see us turning that down. The farce is that we won't have anyone lined up to replace him.

i was Dan

there's a few old names there that bring back some memories - sparks, shearergol, aimaad21, chip2388, the_serbian_mag, hughesie, wullie what happened to them all?

i was one of the original toontastic/toon chat posters before it merged to form newcastle-online. then i got a pm from craig (known as chayton at the time iirc) asking me to join his new breakway board. they only wanted the cool original posters from the original toontastic joining haven't looked back tbh. this place is blatantly the best toon forum around. i never bother looking on newcastle-online anymore. too many young charv jokers

ridiculous. man u and arsenal have been doing it for years.

The slow transition to we won't be signing anyone, be grateful we haven't sold anyone is now complete fucking joke innit. sad thing is there have been several players made available this window that would have improved our first team. shame we aren't competing at the higher end of the market these days. And they were loans. And they'd have come here. Who? the likes of swp and Vela i'd assume would be amongst them. bentley was a loan option. i think swp too? larsson was cheap as chips as he was 6 months away from being out of contract. we wouldn't have had to break the bank for any of the players we've been linked with.

interesting. i've never made a tomato-based sauce with lemon juice before. isn't it super acidic?

adding posh olive oil at the end after you've cooked the sauce is lush. i sue cheap extra virgin olive oil to fry the onions and garlic then a glug of the young posh stuff at the end

Nice one. Glad you enjoyed it. Like I say it's dead easy to modify it to make a different sauce. Well thats your next cookery lesson, to post a few varieties, particularly with cream (bye bye diet). Also when we go to our local Italian they do a dish called chicken Alexandria. This is a chicken breast covered with a delicious creamy curry / spicey sauce containing prawns. If anyone has a recipe for this sort of thing I would get major browny points. Hard to describe it really. Nothing like chinese or indian just a lovely thick creamy curry flavoured spicey source?????? nowt wrong with cream. seriously. too many dieters cut fat. you shouldn't fear it. your body will actually burn fat for fuel quicker than it will burn carbs. better to cut refined carbs (like white bread and pasta) and eat a little butter, cream. plus plenty of good fats like olive oil, raw nuts and seeds.

frog in a blender by the looks of it
