And when we get to Wigan, this is what we'll sing: WE ARE GEORDIES, SUPER GEORDIES, KEEGAN IS OUR KING!

Its alrite like....i quite like the view although the atmosphere isnt exactly great up there. That said with the context of tonights match id imagine all around the ground will be buzzing! Taxi parked up and off to stake my claim for the best table in the pub. The early start however will lead to far too many Kronnenburgs which in turn will no doubt lead to some very silly posts come 10pm. Enjoy it boys and girls Can only be an improvement tbh. 2-0 for me.

Putting everything about Fat Mike's transfer practices/Hughton's lack of control over transfers aside, I don't believe a word that comes out of 'Arry's droopy gob so I'll believe it when I see it. He's one to talk about non-sanctioned contact too!

Nor is the midfield. Rotledge is the only one who could 'do a job' and Guti will be gone imo. Guti and Enrique will be playing here all next season. Is this where i demand a £2000 bet to prove how cocksure i am? Only if you were offering the reverse. I'm with you on that one like. I think our net spend will be at most 10mil and that'll be spent on shite players from Spain and we'll also bring in a few frees. The centre of midfield will once again be left criminally unattended (since 3 of our "Fantastic Four" play there already, nee bother then ).

Aye. Just the reason there should be no celebrations for our promotion. We should never have been laid this low and our performance this season has proven it. Without being particularly good, we've walked the league. Just goes to show nothing's been accomplished. We are back to where we belong, but we have it all to prove again.

Are you fucking mental? Headfuck of the century. When Shearer was managing, all the kids loved those cow horn thingys and had great fun with them. Seriously, just read that to yourself, actually read it out aloud, and please come to terms with how pathetic you sound. Im guessing 15, bit of bumfluff on the chin, not had a real girl yet but have found yourself paying a bit too much interest to the other boys in the shower Cracking assumption CT, hands down for you being down with the kids again, streetwise cabbie indeed. You're just the type, you really do fit the bill, you're so easy to exploit, anything that'll re-ignite Ashleys positives to negatives argument once again. "I also hope the team and Hughton stay on the pitch at the end for a standing ovation.": This in paticular, why bacause you'll be francticly clapping away, with a bairn on shoulders, living the dream, not realising it's a promotion to hell. So go and buy a Chelsea strip Suprised you can really question my loyalty as a support after you've claimed to haved re-ignited a modest interest in NUFC since the Special K dream was installed, and then that was vastly diminished by your so-called 'As Good as it Gets' prophet. TBH i couldnt give a shit about your loyalty Likewise, then again your loyalty is constantly scrutinised, isn't it? Not by me or anyone important Important distinction there. No true Scotsman....

It's like someone kicking your car, repairing it, tuning it up so it runs better and paying off your car finance. Despite that the stats prove we are no better off financially than we were under Shepherd, and all you have to go on to support the opposite argument is the word of Fat Mike's resident gobshite Dekka about how Mike's pouring money into the club to keep us a going concern? There should be cheers at the final whistle, and maybe Hughton could bask in it a little bit, but if the players have even a shred of fucking decency they'll applaud the fans for a few minutes and then walk off. This isn't mission accomplished. It's only just beginning. And nobody has forgotten (except you apparently) how pretty much the same crop of players put in effortless, pathetic performances week after week culminating in the most soulless showing ever witnessed in the last ten years to send us down without a fight. You want us to be grateful? You think the debt is repaid? It isn't. We are halfway there, and that was only the easy half.

Use this thread for fertiliser I'd say. Still not ready to wager anything on Fat Mike and King Khris? Oh ye of little faith.

Canny= evil, sick , twisted. "He's a canny bloke"= beware! That fellow is evil incarnate. "I woke up canny ill"= I thought I was dead, so sick was I Ah thank you You geordies have the oddest of words at times You know he's having you on, right?

What is there to say? KK sold the subpar players and replaced them with better ones. If you can pull it off, that's how success is built. I doubt Hughton will have that same ruthless quality when offloading dross like Smith/Barton.

I hope we truly hump them in front of their own fans. Blue Brazil my foot.

Pretty sure we were linked with him in January. I, for one, think there's something in this. Fat Mike's business plan seems to involve signing players from mid-table Spanish clubs and the cheaper the better.

None at all but heres a site you may be interested in http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/ I do think its canny daft that people expect you to put money on the table because they cant accept your opinion. "You are wrong and you should either admit it or put money on your opinion". I dont always agree with you but thats a bit stupid. You can even hope ashley will invest enough money over the summer to give us a chance of staying up. It might be a forlorn hope but you're allowed to hope for it. Imo of course. And i am prepared to bet a tenner that this will be proved to be stupid in 5 years time.... when people grow up. The bet's not about money. It's the same bet he tried to offer peasepud - a bet on whether Hughton's in a job at Christmas and the loser fucks off for 6 months. I do think that if he's not prepared to risk that on his faith in Fat Mike, he's got nowt left to say. I'm certainly prepared to risk it on my lack of faith in him. http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...st&p=723913 There you go. Loser fucks off for 6 months, plain and simple. Put your "money" where your mouth is, CT.

No response to that bet I offered you CT? Where's your faith in King Khris? Or is it Fat Mike you're afraid of?

Fair play to you acca.

I don't rate Obama. I never have. I said before the election that he was a demagogue who would accomplish nothing. But for them to say he is the Antichrist - I think we need to take a step back and examine what that means. It means he is the physical embodiment of Satan in our world, come to corrupt the world with evil and destroy the forces of good at Armageddon. They are, essentially, saying he is the devil and this is the end of the world. That says all you need to know about White America's worldview: to them, a black man becoming president equates to Armageddon.

Any source on this rumour?

Well I wish he wouldn't. As I recall it was Nolan 'obstructing the keeper' that had Viduka's legal goal ruled out against Fulham last season, so I'd rather not give the refs any excuse.

That Forest load of tripe Stevie's posted is diabolical. Can you imagine the gall of this lot to talk about "delusions of grandeur following their slide into Division Two" - well, you load of Nottingham wankers were playing in Division Three until recently! Then there's the old saw about Keegan being a "tactical dunce" (well, at least they have the right to talk about managers, having had one of the greatest English managers of all time, but it's still wrong) and let's not forget "one club city" and "nobody cares about you." I hope we saw them off with "we'll meet again." Ian Woan. Bastards.

Lacked the killer instinct from Carroll there, I think he should've had 2 by now. Jonas being absolutely shackled by Perch while on the other flank Routledge is having the time of his life. I think the pressure was beginning to tell on them by the end of the half and we should see a goal soon if we can keep up the same level of play.

I had a dream that this game was being shown taped in the States and me mam and I were going to watch it at her house in the afternoon. I'd been avoiding the phone/internet for hours so as not to have it spoiled when my brother called up and asked who had invented nitroglycerin. I knew the answer but I got on the computer to check, but my homepage is the BBC front page and I saw we'd won and the game was spoiled. My previous dream about beating Spurs 4-1 came true. Hopefully this one will be the same and we will beat them, but for my money it'll be a draw.

I think he's definitely improving and in my opinion is PL level. England call ups should be the furthest thing from his mind though.

When are people going to get that Hall is only a loan signing? And a good one at that. He identified where we needed cover and signed someone on the short term - full marks. Hughes would be just about the top quality of manager we could attract, I think.

Shocking bit of opportunism there. Hughton has managed the situation well and this is just disgraceful shit-stirring.
