Which one is Anglos? Across from the snooker hall just next door to the Indians?

And the pizzas from Chunky Chips along Coatsworth Road are fucking sublime. Also, if the Toon Army barbershop is still there, perhaps you'd like to pop in there for a spiffing short back and sides.

I'd probably lose most of my interest like others have said. Though I always keep an eye on Gateshead's results so I'd probably follow them but I doubt I'd ever have the kind of connection I do with NUFC.

If you can get the 54 bus, I think that goes along Brinkburn Avenue and there's a stop right next to Saltwell Park. EDIT: You can get the 54 from near the Theatre Royal/That sandwich shop across from the fire station (Is it still O'Briens?)

Exactly. I'm hoping we've ditched the gravy train.

An Al Queda dream. Still , I expect the likes of toonie and the other left wing loonies will defend their "rights" Literally has fuck all to do with anything said in that post.

Tell you what, if England/USA runs into me seeing Blondie, I won't be happy.

Tell you what, if Alan Smith, Nicky Butt and Shola Ameobi marched into my office telling me to sell players, I'd tell the three useless twats to fuck off considering they're three we need to be flogging.

There's a book shop in Grainger Market with a massive box of these.

I wish he'd stick to cocaine and adultery like other footballers.

Now, I am the complete package. So to speak.

Thank you. My avatar choice now reflects such a title.

I've never been more sure about anything in my life.

Could I become A NICE HAT?

Funnily enough, I just watched that the other night at the insistence of wor lass and ended up really enjoying it. Maybe because Zooey Deschanel is so lovely.

And it continued its slide into the Championship under his running.

January? I'd love to know how he successfully laid foundations for the club to survive the Premier League next season in January. What I see is a bunch of average players who will probably look out of depth and ineffective next season. Now thats a totally different question to what you asked now isnt it? What I asked was what is bolded which is pretty much what I was getting at in my second post (as well you know). In January, promotion was still very likely and as a result, we should have been signing players with some upside for the Premiership rather than whatever was available (Leon Best springs to mind). This season is still clearly part of the rebuilding process with regards to the squad and we're still a weaker side than we were when we were relegated; Not that I was expecting bona-fide Premiership players but when you're signing Coventry City rejects and whatever Portsmouth couldn't afford to pay, what makes you think that he's going to spend £15 million in the summer on real quality? I'm expecting some more Portsmouth exiles and whatever we can get from the likes of Villa/Spurs, certainly not the 5-6 first teamers we'd need, on top of assured back-up.

I have no idea where this opinion that Ashley is suddenly going to start throwing around cash and rebuilding us. Have we seen any evidence of him doing that in the past 3 years?

Christ. You must have looked like Slim Pickens at the end of Dr. Strangelove.

There's no way to argue that a 9 point lead was a 12 point lead, surely? 9 points with a game in hand is still a 9 point lead. Unless of course, the 12 point lead was actually in us all along ala Dumbo.

You could listen on Real Radio website (I think). Commentary and analysis is spotty (Bob Moncur is usually alright but the other bloke is shocking) but it's somewhere to listen to it.

General consensus seems to be that Hughton is doing nothing special, and that just about any manager would have yielded the same or similar results with the gulf in the class of players in this league. With that in mind if we're promoted the fear is that once the results don't come so easy the players heads will drop and Hughton won't be able to motivate them, or make the necessary tactical adjustments required. its frightening to think the frenzy that would have been generated had Shearer been in charge and acheived exactly the same results. I admit I would have probably lost all perspective and be considering him some sort of management god, rather than Hughton who is being shrugged off as a innefectual bloke who got lucky. I think it's the manner of performances that has people worried. All too often, Hughton's been tactically suspect and we've really had to grind results out sometimes. If Shearer was here with the same points total and the same performances, I think people would be a bit concerned as well.
