Egypt 1-0 over Algeria in the 2nd minute, Amr Zaki with the goal. 2 more and Egypt go to the World Cup in place of Algeria. Come on you Pharaohs!

R.I.P. You have to wonder if he might've considered retiring from the game for some relief before this - surely this wasn't an impulse decision and he must've been feeling the pressure and the misery for some time. I feel bad for the wife and child but in the end we'll never understand what drove him to it. ITT: sniffer acts the cock again.

I think Nolan is still a PL player although he hardly showed it last year. This year he seems to want it more, and although he's obviously benefiting from the gulf in quality, if he keeps up the kind of desire he was known for in his first half-decade at Bolton he'll be a fine player for us in the Premier League.

I walked out. It wasn't really a protest or anything. I just felt as indifferent as several of the players had clearly become that season and thought, fuck it, I'll go to the pub. I suppose everything that's happened since is my fault I honestly cant remember. I'm not a boo'er though. Also most seasons I stay behind on the last game. I do remember one where the players were utterly embarrassed, wsant that season though, or last oddly. I know Bramble was here. That was 2006-2007, wasn't it, when we did a "lap of honour" for finishing 13th or whatever it was at our last home game against Blackburn. Roeder was still in charge although he'd get replaced by Fat Sam before our last league game v. Watford.

Well peasants, you called me mad, deluded, and

Come back and talk after the January transfer window, when Enrique, Jonas, Colo, Nolan, Carroll, and anyone else who they can scrounge up a fee for is gone. -
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story...and&cc=5901 I expect we'll hear back from more matchgoers soon about the stewards but it's always a sign that things are not right when a club's directors actively try to quash their fans.

EDIT: Get in Simpson! 3-0!

Bahahaha, you know you're shit when Jonas scores against you. Get in spidey lad. Anyone have any idea what's on at the match? Protests/songs/etc?

They weren't even considering the "possibility."

NUFC not for sale + Hughton awarded 18 month deal
acrossthepond replied to Dr Kenneth Noisewater's topic in Newcastle Forum
Tried to read this thread a couple of times earlier this week but I couldn't get through it without wanting to break things, and I think I was scaring wor lass (who understands that this is a very bad thing, but doesn't quite get that it's a fucking knife through the heart.) Sat at work today and read it all. The only reasonable option is boycott, in my opinion. We have tried the "fill the stadium and protest/act against Ashley" before and it has failed. Now we have to act with our backsides and our wallets (easy for me to say from over here, I know, but bear with me.) No matter how much the team needs our support, if we continue to go to games, it doesn't matter what we say or do otherwise. He still collects and his position is secure. Personally I'd like to send 15k to the Peterborough game just to really scare the fat fucker. We have to hit him where it hurts and that is the pocketbook. He obviously doesn't care (and never has since the Keegan disaster) about anything we say or think, so protests, demonstrations, chants, etc. will mean nothing. No, it has to be boycotts. It doesn't matter if you hate Ashley if you still keep buying his shitty embarassment of a strip. -
Missed this one but it sounds like we upped our game to overcome the difficulties, which is exactly what was missing in the last few matches. Why does Harewood start for us? He's gash, get Ranger in. Why can't Hughton persist with the strikers that helped devastate Ipswich and seemed to work so well together? Not sure what happened with Zurab but Colloccini will be back in for our next game, won't he?

Any news on WBA/Boro? Are they playing tonight? Sorry for my laziness.

*checks the wheels* Yeah, they're falling off.

That guy with the funny hair's back!!!!

Fucking animal. -
Awful. Poor selection I think - Lovenkrands was truly terrible, Harewood not much better, neither should've started - and of course that very debatable offside, but awful nevertheless. I don't understand why King Khris won't just start Ranger and Carroll together. We demolished Ipswich with those two up front. Why should Harewood be an automatic starter? Jonas was poor too when he came on but better than Lovenkrands and he should've started. Gash. We need to do better than that if we've got any intention of leaving this shithole league.

Best thing Argentina can do is send the drugged-up fat bastard back to rehab and get someone with any kind of a brain in. As it is they won't stand a chance in South Africa.

Has done a class job and kept a low profile, which God knows is what this club needs at the moment. Someone to get his head down and do what needs doing. I hope he stays on once we eventually do get a permanent manager, but I think if he goes on to manage another Championship club he'll do a job there as well.

Quite simply the biggest load of tosh I've yet to see from your keyboard tbh. I'd tell you the same thing but I'd have to keep repeating it every time you posted. You want to have a word after some of the absolute shite you've spewed out in this thread. You evade every direct question, shrink back when called out on one of your fairly blatant implications, and in general look like the sort of bloke who'll make a snide comment and a nasty remark but can't stand behind the convictions of his beliefs. If you think the Interim Committee are some sort of junta taking NUSC/NUST in a direction you don't want it to go and that you don't think the rest of your fellow members want it to go, then out with it. But FFS don't fanny about like this. Bla bla bla bla bla See this is what happens when you you just type like a little internet warrior without actually reading other peoples posts. I've already made my views on the direction NUST is going quite plain both here and on the NUST forum. Having started this thread, ive also made many a suggestion over several months to try and help improve the organisation I am a member of. Have you? Are you? Next time you want to have a rant, put a bit of meat on the bones rather than a girly tantrum. It often seems like your raison d'etre on this board is to criticise the NUSC and you do a terrible, nasty-minded job of it, so I don't believe a word of what you say about how you "try to help improve the organisation you am a member of." More like, try to help it resemble what you think it should look like, which you know is unrealistic and not going to happen, so you instead resort to implications and "simple questions" which you've had the answer to and it wasn't what you were looking for. Did you really believe that the interim committee were little despots who were going to forcibly drag their membership along with them into Trust-ship against their will? You're not happy with the 'fixation' on becoming a Trust? Which way did you vote again? Fascinating how you keep ignoring that question. No doubt you either voted for, or you didn't vote, and either way you've got no right to complain now.

Typhoon Lagoon was great, Blizzard Beach was gash. I'm crazy about water parks but that one really was nothing special and the lines...better not spoken of. There are 4 Disney parks in Florida, Magic Kingdom/Epcot/MGM are all worth visiting but Animal Planet or whatever is not worth the price of admission unless you're with kids who are nuts about lions and the like.

Alan Smith?

I always wondered where Shearergol'd got to. I suppose he'll turn up for the Scunny games?

What's this 'would have'? We did the deal after all, for all the good it did us. Load of bollocks, I'd like to hang that little runt off the Gallowgate.

Have I mentioned I'd have him back tomorrow?
