Echoing what other people have said about it not being financially viable to pay his wages in the Championship and that £9 million is a decent deal. Can't say I'll miss him though. For too long, he's been woeful and lived off his mythical "good first season for someone new to the league" Last season, he was totally ineffectual too.. I dread to think where this money is going though. Probably to help lift some of the overdraft that's building.

Ear expanders, keep up Absolutely the worst thing I've ever seen. If you're putting those things in your lugs, you shouldn't be allowed outside the house until you've evaluated your fashion choices. Hardly, I decided to get mine expanded a few months ago, few days later decided it wasn't for me and dropped the idea. They look good if there kept small and when there excessive they look stupid. Whatever, I don't see it. To me, it looks like a half-arsed Red Indian accessory more than anything.

Sam Sodje...Well, I didn't see that one coming.

I wish I was Goro so I could punch all of them at once.

Think we speculated that the HIV story was that but I agree, us actually being sold might kill some people with a dodgy ticker.

Has this kid ever been right btw? Wasn't he the Aimar journo?

What the fuck's that idiot got in his ears?

Saw a fat little kid in our away kit yesterday. He was sat slopping gravy and chips down himself too. These are the kind of people that will buy our away kit.

That could be our slogan Newcastle United: At Least We're Not Leeds.

I think the stick actually doesn't bother him. Wasn't the whole Alonso sending off brought on by Alonso giving him some stick? Or was it just frustration or what have you? I can't say I remember.

Can you imagine Barton in the Championship, man? The stick he'd get would force him to murder in the first six games.

This is all fruitless. He doesn't give two shits about what he's doing and if he were to come out, it'd probably all be bullshit anyway, like every other statement.

Oooh, can we compare attendances too? Then we can get our dicks out and compare, then see who can piss the highest and furthest and then we can take a step back and realise it'd be fucking stupid.

So you don't have to watch your team you mean ? A+: Would read again

New Arctic Monkeys stuff. They're spreading their net with influences; I hear Sabbath, Queens of The Stone Age, Smiths and even RNB. It's mint.

Serious question, why?

There's a program called Porn Week?

Thick as mince that lad. Oh well, I can't say I'll miss him playing a quarter of the games all season and looking useless.

Never even heard of the bolded one. Not a lot of people have and if I were to think more, it probably wouldn't be in my top 6. Well, it wouldn't because I'd put The Office there. Or Oz. But it's a comedy about 5 people running a bar in Philadelphia and is just generally really funny. I wouldn't call it clever but it's very well written and the characters are fantastic. Danny Devito's great in it too.

Arrested Development The Wire LOST The Simpsons I'm Alan Patridge It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia First 6 that came to head. Can't be arsed with thinking of more.

We used to play all day as well, usually in the park with a pitch the length of Brands Hatch. I remember the days of 15vs15, every time one went in, switch keeper and about 4 extra balls in case one got booted into the pond.

That's where I stand on things. I mean, what is there to be excited about with football these days? Watching the Sir Bob match yesterday got me thinking about his time here and how that excitement is totally gone. There was a time under him where it really felt like we could break through the glass ceiling, especially when we were hammering Arsenal and Leeds in back-to-back weeks and football in general just felt a bit more competitive. Then Chelsea got the mega bucks and the whole state of the game went to shit. Now, there's nothing exciting about seeing the top 4 (and now Man City, I suppose) having the pick of the bunch then leaving the rest of us to battle it out for a trip in the totally shit UEFA Cup or an "exciting" cup run that will be ruined as soon as the top 4 don't have an important league game on the weekend. There's a depressing feeling that we'll never win anything unless we get bought out by some mega-rich tycoon and football really shouldn't be like that. As an aside, does anyone have that bat-shit post that HTT made about football just being entertainment like movies or music? Despite growing up in Newcastle - First toon game at 17, first home toon game at 18....our survey says... I'm not saying he was right or anything, far from it. This thread just reminded me of it and the bollock tickling that followed.
