Bump! Wacky PM'd me his cos he didnt know how to host it: FACT!

well, none of them are as big as us ..... but thats because we are punching our weight and acting bigger than them, which is pretty much my point To be honest, I don't think too many of you realise just what a shit chairman REALLY means.... You can always ask the mackems, who should themselves be the 4th/5th biggest club in the country support wise 84816[/snapback] Their population is miniscule and they half fill a 40-odd thousand seater stadium with vastly subsidised/freeby tickets??????

Rob Lee aged forty. You turn like a fucking oil tanker. Joking aside, that lass was pure class. If anyone should be ashamed it was JJ . The lad was dogshit. 84802[/snapback] Wrote a great article about it afterwards though. 84811[/snapback] Yeah but thats what he does and he's damn good at it! Goalkeeping on the other hand.....

Keep it up lads, I can see Leazes breaking here. I think he's just about to come round to the other side of the argument........!

Absolute fucking dogshit.

I'm up for five a side too. And what do you mean even if it's just people from this board? Who d'yer think yee are like? Juuuurhan fucking Cruyff? 84783[/snapback] He actually means "as long as we are not playing Toon Army Sweden again". 84789[/snapback] He felt so low after that performance he could literally have parachuted out of a worms arse.

I'd really like to give Wacky a kick in the pods so fingers crossed he has a change of his blackened heart.

Perhaps we should make up a joint team with Skunkers Incidentally I see they've had to start again and they're already having a dig at 'the other place': http://www.skunkers.net/reunited/showthread.php?t=8 84771[/snapback] a "...fucking pile of shite..."?????? Surely he meant GREAT?

Theres some closet southerners coming out the closet in here tho but. Jesus wept tbh.

Things are 20 times better than they were before Shepherd and the Halls mate. Before 1992 Jim Smith was our 8th EIGHTH choice of manager in 1988, even fuckwits such as Souness wouldn't have looked at us, all we were was a stepping stone for managers AND players, even Geordies. 84151[/snapback] That my friend is very true, but as i only started supporting the Toon since Ossie was in charge as i was only bout 7 at the time i can't really state that, but when you look back it's clearly alot better with the club nearly going bust n such and it must have been shocking having to see the likes of Pedro, Waddle, Gazza all going onto pastures new 84194[/snapback] that is true mate, and if you look at that and around at other chairman at other clubs we could do a lot lot worse than Shepherd in spite of his faults, for a start not many people would be prepared to put up the amount of money it would take to buy out Shepherd without wanting a say in the club and they couldn't do better regarding backing managers with cash, an area where Shepherd has excelled in. He has only appointed one manager that supporters generally weren't happy with, and even then some backed him as we have seen on this message board. 84304[/snapback] .....couldnt resist! Basically the cash should have been made available whoever was in charge cos it's been there to dole out. Some Chairmen might not have but that doesnt make FF God Almighty for having actually done it. Re everything else, he's a PR disaster who brings the club into disrepute and brings standards down generally. He makes us look like a laughing stock with his soundbites and undermines the managers that he does bring in in the process. He's weak in all the areas where you need a chairman to be strong. 84307[/snapback] 2001-02 In Out ========= === Quinn 800,000 Beherall 150,000 O’Brien 2,000,000 Bellamy 6,000,000 Robert 9,500,000 Jenas 5,000,000 2002 – 03 In Out ========= === Bramble 5,000,000 Green 150,000 Viana 8,500,000 Woodgate 9,000,000 Amrose 1,000,000 2003 – 04 In Out ========= === Nil Cort 2,000,000 Solano 1,500,000 2004 – 05 In Out ========= === Milner 5,000,000 Lua Lua 1,750,000 Butt 2,500,000 Speed 750,000 Carr 2,000,000 Woodgate 13,000,000 Souness In Souness Out ======== ========== Boumsong 8,000,000 Bellamy 4,500,000 Faye 2,000,000 O’Brien 1,500,000 Parker 6,000,000 Hughes 1,500,000 Emre 4,000,000 Jenas 7,000,000 Owen 16,000,000 Luque 9,500,000 42m out and 300,000 in before summer 2003, and you think we should have shelled out more millions.......get real 84347[/snapback] Erm.....no. I dont believe I said that either. you said, "Basically the cash should have been made available" He said the money should have been made available whoever was in charge, meaning that if it was Souness, Keegan, Hitzfeld or whoever, Shepherd still had a right to provide the dough that he did.. He's never once said he's never provided adequate funds - read the post FFS Leazes.... 84504[/snapback] nice interjection Craig .... the figures are for the benefit of everyone who for some reason thinks we had a bottomless pit of money, now and in 2003, and also those who insist the only player we signed that year was Bowyer, when also for some reason they seem to think we should have waited 6 months and bought Woodgate in the summer instead [as explained] 84541[/snapback] To be fair though, you seldom seem read a post accurately. It's like you read what you want to read.

Fucking hell - that's harsh! 84512[/snapback] That is fucking well harsh! 84513[/snapback] so just me then? 84514[/snapback] I can hardly agree after I've called him (the soopafan) a 'gormless muppet' now can I?! JAW D's a good looking lad anyway! In a non-gay way.

Fucking hell - that's harsh! 84512[/snapback] That is fucking well harsh!

An excellent example of good old fashioned, well rounded, vicarious living. 84497[/snapback] In all honesty (and with the greatest of respect to Pedro, who is a true legend) the only way that gormless muppet could succeed in making himself look more gormless is by having Little Peter's physog tatood onto him! By the way it seems to be lost on everyone that apparently, although he can't afford a season ticket HE CAN AFFORD TO PAY 700 QUID FOR A TATTOO!!!!!!!!!!!! 84500[/snapback] Everyone did mentioned that!! 84508[/snapback] Jesus Wept on a bike tbh!

Thats a novel way of canvassing votes during election time.

Well, ok I am jealous. I admit it because I only got 24. So I might struggle in an English mensa test, but at least I know how to spell latin words correctly... 84478[/snapback] Res ipsa loquitur tbh 84491[/snapback] [Classical scholar joke mode] Whoever writes millennium with only one 'n' makes an arse out of himself. FACT tbh.[/classical scholar joke mode] 84495[/snapback] I dont like this anymore. Can we just go back to calling Gemmill fat?

Can't you negotiate a discount for the pair. Or is she an amputee? 84413[/snapback] Nah she's nee Heather Mills and Office don't do discounts! 84418[/snapback] Now theres a girl who can get her legs apart etc etc etc.

Meenzer's had literally dozens of MP's abusing him.

I never wanted him in in the first place. But I was prepared to give him time etc etc. 84350[/snapback] Boo. SLP apologist tbh. manc-mag out! 84352[/snapback] I've had literally dozens of PM's supporting me tbh.

I dont believe I said that either. Hope you didnt reproduce those stats just for me??? I simply said that the money should have been made available regardless of which chairman was at the helm, so I refuse to deify FF for simply approving the spending. As someone else pointed out, we're the second best supported club in the land (attendances). Our revenues are massive What gnarls me is that FF's antics etc all too often undermine this massive investment turning it (in many cases) into a waste of money. When he says things that undermine the club (personal scandals etc/slagging other clubs managers) and the manager (buying his own players etc.) then he fucks things right up for us. Why can't he make the money available and shut the fuck up? I'm fed up of hearing about the fat bastard. Press love this club and its for a reason.
