Was on Channel 4 for a while if you remember when (after the success of American Football) they tried other sports like, for example, Kabbadi Kabbadi? I remember some baffling game involving Indian blokes in a circle playing tag. It was still better than Aussie rules, mind you.

Aussie rules football. Now there's a game I can't stand. With any luck you don't get it in the UK.

International rugby's duller than it used to be though. Every team's like England when Rob Andrews' played - half the game is spent kicking the ball back and forth or trying to win penalties and kick on goal. Plus they've changed the rules so there's less violence in forward play and there's much more emphasis on technical elements and set pieces (Allardyce would love it). So I suppose they have to have gimmicks like music to keep the crowd amused.

You'd have to be a retard or a crackhead to fail a shelf stacker interview. If you appear clean, sober, don't seem a mentalist, and have a basic grasp of English, I don't see how you can fail. Unless you keep referring to 'needing a jab'.

I think the only shock is that Colo hasn't been sold before now.

I don't welcome Stevie being banned. Don't agree with some of his views but he's often entertaining.

It seems strange to play Best ahead of Lovenkrands based on form. Maybe it was a tactical decision. nah man, CH doesnt wana drop him incasae we complain about wasting money on someone not being used. That's still tactics. Just not football tactics

Peter Beardsley offers Paul Gascoigne football lifeline at Newcastle United

He's firmly in the grip of alcoholism, possibly drug and gambling addicted too going on past reports, and he's had serious mental illness. If he won't seek/accept help then there's not a lot can be done for him -

I don't think this end well, sadly -
Forest 1-0 down. It'll be criminal if we waste the chance to put daylight between us and them.

You have to admit; at that, he is the master To the point Fop vapourised in a fit of Alex induced apoplexy? What happened to Fop? Leazes went off on his crusade again and Peasepud didn't feel the need to have asecret identity any more. Fop wasn't the poster we wanted, he was the poster we deserved ok.... it's ten to midnight- can i have that in english? Shine car, paint fence. Shine car, paint fence.

I initially thought it was a load of deranged shizzle until I noticed the author has a PhD. Now I believe everything. It was them Goddam Jews!

I think Alan Carr's a bit of a laugh in small doses ie when you're pissed up and channel hopping. I've no opinion on his Dad.

the thing is I actually would mind, despite his experience he doesn't seem to be very inspirational and can't keep a cool head under pressure despite his age. Add that to the fact that technically he isn't anything special so I wouldn't be too deslighted with him even in a coaching capacity. Hmmm, don't agree necessarily. He's been there done & done it at the highest level, many years with Britain's biggest club, so he should know how things should be set up to achieve success. Plus he's actually won things. He's played under the greatest manager of the premiership era and that should count for something. I don't think his technical abilities as a player really matter - look at Arsene Wenger for instance. How he is as a player doesn't mean a lot in terms of coaching imo, it's what he knows and how he is with people. I've no idea whether he's a good teacher but I'd guess that other players would respect him and listen to him. I don't think he needs to be inspirational necessarily on the training pitch as long as he can coach. Dunno whether he's got his coaching badges. Of course everything you say could be correct - he could be thick as two short planks, have nothing to share and be as useless off the pitch as he is on it now. I realise being a successful player doesn't mean he'd make a decent coach. However seems a shame to waste that experience if he does have some backroom ability and we can use it, with the academy for instance.

Sounds like one for the psychiatrist to deal with
-
I've felt that way for years. Wouldn't mind him on the coaching staff though.
-
Off the top of my head I think we would need a RB, 2 CMs, an attacking LM (but versatile enough to swap flanks), at least 1 and possible 2 proven strikers. Plus a new manager and new owners.
-
Who needs him anyway? We've got Butt and Nolan
-
The fat man wouldn't fund it. Ireland wouldn't consider it. Won't happen imo, the barrel's been scrapped.

Smokers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your lungs

I reckon Hughton will go defensive and safety first, aiming not to concede. So unfortunately we'll get: ---Harper--- ---Simpson---Williamson---Coloccini---Van Aanholt--- ---Routledge---Nolan---Smith---Guthrie--- ---Carroll---Lovenkrands--- Maybe Ameobi to start instead of Carroll if fit enough. Best on the bench.

If we're promoted will we be in better shape than 2 years back?
Kitman replied to OTF's topic in Newcastle Forum
Yes, highly likely imo
