You believe what Redknapp said? I don't, for one minute. He's like a cheeky Dickensian pickpocket is Harry.

yes no yes no

Come to think of it I'll take anyone who will show McDermott the door.

Whats Iam McFaul doing these days like?

So what are they going to ballot the season ticket holders? Jesus wept. If they want to do that then fair enough (while still being a big Jesus Wept), but don't dare come out cracking on that the appointment was on the basis of a fan consensus if the plebiscite hasnt taken place.

Keep the Harry Redknapp threads in Newcastle Chat btw.

12-0 would have flattered us something rotten tbh.

Well I came on just to see your views on MH - I think the others probably did the same. I was honestly scared that if you made an approach, MH would go, and that shit me up. I also just thought I would have some banter whilst I was here too! In all seriousness, I had the pleasure of watching Shearer in a blue and white shirt, and was at his first game for us at Crystal Palace when he scored 2. I was devastated when he left to join you - even though I fully understand why. Maybe I have never got over it................... Good luck with the manager - I thought Paul Jewell would have done a job for you. Up for the game on 1st March - cant wait! Fair play! Football can lift you up or rip your fucking heart out. Fans are the same the world over.

WTF?! Fuck that!

I actually genuinely don't know but apparently Brock is one according to Skol if that helps.

Trophies in my lifetime: You - Fuck All BRFC - Manx Cup, Full Members Cup, Carling Cup & Premiership Title. Now you Fuck Off Sadly though, to be fair that probably reads the same as 'trophies in Jack Walker's lifetime' too (minus the Carling Cup) and he lived well into his 200's. Straws and clutching spring to mind............................................ Reality - you have a chronic squad of players. Owen was embarrassing tonight, and the rest of your team were just championship standard with the exception of n'zogbia and Milner (any of those two for sale?) Where do you go from here? I hope you stay in the prem - its always a good weekend in the toon. Your bait is hopeless mate in all seriousness. It's not clutching a straws at all, I'm basically saying that in winning the title and milk cup once, these are absolute halcyon days for your club and thats how you feel qualified to have a go. Unfortunately howevere that does more to show the measure of your club than anything else. Yeah we're underachieving spectacularly, but it's deemed underachievement for a reason-ie cos we're considered a big club. Nowt you can say can antagonise me because youre a Blackburn fan tbh.

Today was just shooting practice tbh. I'd like to see him crying again in a serious game where his odious Portugal have just been beaten.

Aye but wor mam hasn't sewn them on for me yet.

To the tune of 'Erotic', by Madonna: Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, rub your beard all over my body!

Liverpool fans want Benitez out every time he fails to win back to back games or slips x points behind Man U. Funnily enough theres not even owt wrong with that because fans are just fans. It's simply about the board being strong and making the right decisions. Man U would never have had the 20 years at the top theyve enjoyed if the fans had their way early doors. Simple as.

"Do I not need that!"

He was spectacularly arrogant for someone who has achieved and was achieving so little (with no disrespect to his glorious reign at Bolton). That was the worrying thing. He didn't seem to have a particularly good knack of identifying and remedying faults with his teams. No need to try and convinced us mate, we spend two bloody years with Pederson (our striker) at leftback! Oh, and his habit of putting on a defender when losing isn't one of his better qualities! hang on a minute....... My point was, that Newcastle FC will never be successful, unless they are prepared to let a manager (any manager) get his feet under the table. Sam had many faults, most of which was beyond frustrating. Yet he would have carried you forward given the time to do so. Wake up call for NUFC, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVER NIGHT! Why can't your board see that it's obviously not down to money spent, or players bought. It simply down to media and fan pressure for Newcastle to be one of the top four again. The problem is, you want it, and you want it NOW! As long as that attitude echoes around St James's Park, your going to continue spending huge, achieving nothing. Before the glorious Keegan era (the media benchmark, where we didnt actually win anything, but had a manager who was given plenty of time), we'd won fuck all for over 20 years. During that time we had managers who were given time and those that weren't. Following Keegan's departure, we've had managers who have been given time (Bobby Robson) and those that haven't. We've still won fuck all. Don't come on here implying that other clubs are more successful simply because they give their managers more time. Bullshit. They make better appointments, demand higher standards of their employees and are just simply better run. Thanks for saving me the trouble of pointing it out. Your best season since Keegan, has been under the one manager given time. Though it was lucky for him he managed to get it right straight from the off. No, see you're wrong. Bobby Robson was a conspicuously (for NUFC) good appointment. The reason our board outdid themselves and managed to pull this coup off however didnt really owe to their brilliant insight or professionalism, it was simply because Bobby Robson was a lifelong Newcastle fan, who would have died for the club and probably would have managed it for free. Regrettably we got him at the wrong time because he was very late on in years. Now to prove my point, the reason we don't win things is because we are run like a fucking joke. By the end of his tenure, the manager since keegan who (as you rightly identify) came closest to winning us anything, was having players bought under his nose and against his better judgement by the fucking fat mong who sat in the chairman's seat and got sucked off by prostitutes in Spanish brothels with his playboy mate Douglas Hall (also on the payroll). What you're saying is a fucking insult to be honest. I've waited 30 years to win something. I don't expect to win anything and I could quite contentedly wait a prescribed length of time if you guaranteed me we'd win something. No, what is apparent to me as a Newcastle fan, who's lived in Manchester my entire life, is not that other fans are more patient than us (trust me there are non less patient in world football than Man U or Liverpool fans), but simply that those other clubs are run with a degree of professionalism that is in a different stratosphere to NUFC.

Shearer will be there singing his name from the rooftops.

Serious question, but if we went down would it mean disaster now though? We're effectively being bankrolled by Ashley so the financial side of things is less of a concern. If we did go down, what are we currently missing out on/would we have missed out on for the last four seasons or so? Sounds unthinkable but relegation followed by promotion (clearly not guaranteed) might actually bring the momentum we so badly need and break the cycle of the constant, big money let downs.

I think Duff is actually retarded though.

Ever since day one I've said Taylor was a lummox. Championship player.

You've wrote 'Taylor' by accident there, mate.
