Owen signs for Newcastle. Renton is sort of happy. Hell freazes over. 22536[/snapback]

Quality! Echo that! With the last few syllables shouted completely hoarse.

call me a pessimistic but i really cant see how this signing is really gonna change anything. we are in dire straits and need more than just one half decent striker to turn this season around. 22438[/snapback] At the moment it has to be viewed in context-it isnt going to assist our shite defence but obviously it does assist our shite attack. So at least we will have a chance of outscoring our opponents even if we do continue to ship soft goals, which is a better position than we were in half an hour ago. Not for a minute gonna turn us into the complete team (we'll still be hopeless at the back/down the flanks unless we strengthen there too) but could actually be the difference between relegation and survival.

Freddy Shepherd: "After much wallet searching, Michael Owen has agreed to sign for the Toon"

Jesus wept!

15 times? ........fifteen times? Don't take this the wrong way but......

Freddy Shepherd: "After much soul searching, Michael has decided not to sign for us. He says it's the fans fault"

Good score, so it is.

The woman who used to shit on stage? Nah. 19460[/snapback] You still would, like!

Have you got one of him in Theatre of Blood? Quality film! That one's Witchfinder General n'est-ce pas?

Come on!!!!!!! A couple of hours bowling at these buggers'll do for me. Lets make them see their arses. Freddy must be chomping at the bit.

Highlights on from 8-10 on Sky Sports 1 tonight. 19426[/snapback] Gutted. I intend to be the worse for drink.

Gutted. Haven't seen a single ball today!

A fair appraisal like, Id say.

450 + isn't too bad though is it? 19390[/snapback] Yeah, imagine in past ashes series thinking i'm abit disappointed not to get 500 batting against the aussies Getting above 250 was a miracle sometimes! 19401[/snapback] Shame the tail couldnt have helped us out a bit here. What were the last few wickets - good bowling or just shit batting?

Aye right. See you tomorrow then, eh?

I'd pay to see Rehhagel do human beatbox at Newcastle Uni.

Wasn't expecting that. Even more of a shame Flintoff's out then! It's mental praying for the rain to hold off against the Aussies. Never known anything like it. Usually out there doing rain dances by the end of the second day.

Not neccesarily (although Freddies just gone), it's just to delcare against the Aussies in a first innings I'd be looking at hitting 700, which aint gonna happen. Ever. I admire your faith though, comes with supporting NUFC. 19309[/snapback] Whats the weather forecast for the weekend though? Genuine question, I havent got a clue.

"Brazil.....It's just like watching Brazil!" (but not at cricket)

Wheres Wellsy?

What was the goodbye thread all about then? Genuine question BTW 19026[/snapback] I meant goodbye at the time.......but on reflection I feel that it should have been a "a bientot hinnies". I was foolish and rash and am genuinely contrite. I am prepared to say......I was wrong Now come here and give us a cuddle 19141[/snapback] Have a re-think............oh go on! Please!

"I'm sorry, did you say something?......look, I don't speak Spanish!"

Not sure I really follow that. 19120[/snapback] He's edited it once already too. Time for a third draft. 19121[/snapback] Fucking dreadful.

Are you referring to Toontastic or Newcastle-Online? This is place is backup and running, for Newcastle-Online, you'll have to refer to either Phil or HTT for more info. 19041[/snapback] i was meaning this place. Take it thats its sorted then. 19047[/snapback] Well you're posting on it aren't you, you numpty. 19051[/snapback] Jesus Wept!
