Agreed. Bramble should always have been a case of contract termination, simple as. Should have just been cut loose instantly-totally counter productive to persist with him in a side.

I was going to say something along the lines of "While My Cumrag Gently Weeps", but that'd be distasteful. Certainly salty I'd imagine.

'Fuck Off Alex' in this instance I believe.

Fucking hell! Sincerely hope you're not expecting 28 pages?

If he's dead and he's killed Maddie then hanging is too good for him. Literally.

Aye, proper trophy-out-of-pram stuff. I know where you're coming from btw, but the media can fuck off on this one. Spoilt we are not. I'm not saying I agree with either of those labels, but it's demonstrably the consensus view. No I know mate...or at least I thought that's what you'd meant. Agreed that's how we're viewed now. I actually find it insulting tbh. By highlighting the fans 'behaviour' it's tantamount to saying that Liverpool/Man U/Arsenal fans would have sat and watched patiently, fingers on lips through ten years of zero trophies and absolutely horrific stewardship of their club. If it was any of these clubs it would be media sympathy with them for sticking with the club (if not individual managers) through an unacceptable barren spell in their glorious history. That's why it's utter bullshit for me. No the difference is we're castigated because it's seen as us having ideas above our station. Well they can fuck off tbh, there's nowt wrong with wanting better for your club, and in any event, the unrest of the past few years has been the product of (if not entirely vented upon) the chairman-and if anyone from the media or elsewhere wants to tell me that he deserved more time/patience/whatever then it's them thats fucking deluded. Bottom line. I have very very modest ambitions under KK, which stretch as far as us starting to attract a better quality of player again (which will be an achievement in itself) and taking it from there.

Bramble's body with Woodgate's brain, I had such high hopes for Sam's Secret Laboratory. Sounds like a gay version of Weird Science.

Probably because of all the shit in between? The soap opera that has been NUFC? FF, who made us look a joke, managers coming and going, not to mention certain players who have made the front pages of the papers rather than the back? Its been a bloody circus! Seeing it from a 'Southern' perspective people are fed up with all the hype and sick of hearing about us, we were only people's second favourite team because we nearly stopped Man U in their tracks, just like Chelski were for awhile. Erm. .shouldn't you be at the theatre?

Is that Marty Feldman?

In a nutshell, my son!

Howay man! Alex was sticking up for us!

That's the spirit. Aye, get him tel't. As long as we lose 4-3, I'll be happy!

You hear about the short-sighted circumsizer? He got the sac !! BACK OF THE NET!! He's back and straight into the groove; now that's skill, I tells ya!!!!

Thread deletion isn't common on here tho as the ethos is very much freedom of speech. Of course the efficacy of this system relies on people having something worthwhile to say.

Where did we get this mong?

J69. And similar about his cock. I don't obsess about the big club thing by any means. I just happen to think it's a fact in the sense that we're so obviously a big draw.

Nail on heed that marra. Said it before, in that sense we definitely are a big club and it's why we get a bad press a lot of the time from individual journos who are clearly just peddling their own resentful little agendas. Jealousy. There's a fine line between being a big draw and a freak show. Do you think the press are all over Amy Winehouse or Brtiney Spears every day because they're great singers? No, it's because they want to see them implode and top themselves. It's ghoulish fascinitation. Everton and the like are just not that interesting. No, it's because (rightly or wrongly) people seem to care/have an opinion one way or another. And people seem to care a remarkable amount about Newcastle. Aye, but the implication behind 'who says we're not a big club' is popularity or success, not notariety. Ok then I think we're notorious because we're so unsuccessful and yet inexplicably still remain popular (in terms of gates etc). It's such an anomoly that people can't ignore it (as a phenomenon) and some choose to snide us because it undermines/tarnishes their views of their own clubs.
