I think this was tongue in cheek mate...as was my response. People need to take things less seriously. I wrote my post without seeing yours (I also have you on ignore and have had for months, so I couldn't have even seen it in the last 10 posts feature) as you can see from the timestamps. Just goes to show how sad and predictable you really are. Also, don't pretend like you haven't constantly tried to have a go at peasepud over NUSC since Shearer's appointment.

Real first name: Nickname: Age: 23 Occupation: Menu planner, graduate school student (will be a certified history teacher in 2 years with any luck) Location: New York, New York, USA Language(s) spoken? English, Georgian, Spanish Avatart - why? Because Temuri is a legend. It kinda predates the Shearer thing though, maybe I should hoy him in there at some point. Previous avatarts? NUFC crest previous to our current one Tell us when you first joined the boards? Board says sometime in November 2006, but I was a lurker before that as I recall. Board highlights? Keegan coming back, no doubt. Board lowlights? Keegan going, arguing with people who I now know to be certifiable headcases. What would you be doing if you weren't doing your current job? Bumming around the city? But I'd always fancied a career in journalism, so I'd probably try that. Pets? None. I play a bit like....Temuri. Shite and I go mental sometimes. Football heroes? Keegan, Shearer, SBR, Solano, Martins Football villains? C. Ronaldo, Terry, Bellamy, Dida, divers. Best advice given? 'If God meant us to eat vegetables, He'd have given us rabbit teeth.' Ideal partner? Wor lass. Ideal dinner date? Can I say Adriana Lima? Is it too cliche? Her English isn't too great, but I don't really think I'd be good for much small talk either... Ideal meal? Meat or seafood on one side, some form of carbohydrates on the other. See above quote for my stance on veg. Can you cook? Aye. Current wheels? Can't drive, I've lived in NYC since I was old enough to drive and have never needed to. Biggest influence? Me dad. TV programmes? LOST and Hell's Kitchen. Ramsay absolutely slays me. Burger and chips or fish and chips? Fish surely. Chinese or indian? What do you order? Indian. Favourite tunes? Oldies! Been listening to a lot of Cornelius Brothers lately, for example. Abi Titmuss or Jodi Marsh? Pass. George Clooney or Bradley Pitt? Pitt. Favourite film? Signs. Watched it fifty times maybe. (It isn't a good movie, you don't have to tell me, but something about it just gets me.) If I won a million pounds....I'd buy a restaurant. Age first drunk alcohol? First drink? Never have. Am told Magic Hat, Stella, and of course the broon are meant to be good though. Ever suspended/expelled from school? No. Favourite insult? 'Clown' or 'Shiteater.' Not a lot of people know that......I played for the cricket team at university for a while. Most you've ever spent on an item of clothes? $100 maybe? Just about every good item of clothing I own was a gift. How many pairs of shoes do you own? 3 I'm obsessed with.....NUFC and the 'Mafia' forum game. In 5 years time, I hope to be....married and a happy employee of the teacher's board of the great state of New York.

NUSC are useless now that we love Ashley again, that's why peasepud had the time to make this video, blah blah, some other boring predictable shite, he's obviously r@cist, obsessed. ... But seriously, if things have gotten so bad that the site's owner is now advocating that all users put him on ignore, there's a much easier way of ensuring members won't have to put up with him in future.

Official Match Thread: Stoke 1-1 Newcastle United
acrossthepond replied to JawD's topic in Newcastle Forum
So Smith was commanding in a reserves game? Big deal. You've seen every PL appearance of his for us, right? He shouldn't be getting a game unless all of Guthrie, Butt, Barton, Nolan and even Geremi are injured. You say we shouldn't persevere with something that's not working, but you advocate going back to something that's proven not to work instead. And yes, we should stick with Harper, because there's no sense in dropping a keeper who's done nowt wrong in the middle of a relegation scrap. -
Official Match Thread: Stoke 1-1 Newcastle United
acrossthepond replied to JawD's topic in Newcastle Forum
What is your obsession with playing Martins as a winger? You keep talking about it. Fat Sam did that and it was terrible. Why would you play Krul over Harper who hasn't made a mistake since taking over for Given? Why would you start Smith? I'd rather have Nolan. I'd rather have Nolan's grandmother. I'd go with: Harper Beye S. Taylor Bassong Enrique Jonas Guthrie Duff Owen Martins Lovenkrands -
All the proof needed that it's time to finally put Danny out of his misery. Lock, IP ban, let the sad bastard find someone else's forums to troll 24 hours a day from his phone. He could try N-O for a start, although they wouldn't tolerate him as long as we have.

Dreamt that Wigan had been docked 10 points after losing 5-0 to Liverpool. Not really sure where I got either of those, but I remember being really ecstatic only to look at the league table and see they were still 10 ahead of us. (Not the case in actuality, I know.)

Official Match Thread: Newcastle United Vs Chelsea
acrossthepond replied to Park Life's topic in Newcastle Forum
Aye, I was pretty stunned by the atmosphere on Saturday. Thought it was going to be a warm party welcome for Big Al. It was terrible. I could hear some singinging away in the leazes but I dont think I heard one song near my area. Apathy I guess. Can you explain how you were how you were posting the comment below during the game while you were at the game coming to the conclusion above??? -
Yes, I do blame Given. He deserves plenty of blame. I can completely understand his desire to leave and would've waved goodbye with tears in my eyes at the end of the season if that is the path he chose. But after his public temper tantrum in January and the way he abandoned this club when we needed him most, yes, I do blame him. 'Consummate professional' he certainly isn't. I don't have time for Shay pissing Given any longer. Aww did some one touch a soft spot there mate Are you saying he didn't with you? Was one of my Toon heroes for a long time.

Ashley the one and only man responsible for this. All others (Llambias, Wise, Kinnear, Keegan and Given) are fruit of the poisonous tree. Ashley is the owner, he is responsible for hiring the first four listed and their mismanagement is responsible for the fifth's strop, and so the buck ultimately stops with him. That doesn't mean I absolve the others entirely of blame, but Ashley is the 'guilty' one as referenced in the thread title.

Jammy bastards but as this win keeps Man U on track to beat Liverpool to the title, I don't mind.

Official Match Thread: Newcastle United Vs Chelsea

Never likely to get anything out of this game. Drop Colloccini (preferably into a well) and we've got a good chance at Stoke. I still believe we can stay up and this game was never likely to change that. -
Truly terrible. By contrast Beye was massive at CB. Drop the spaghetti-haired joker and let's not speak of him again.

A likely lads job, avoiding the score? Aye, won't be too hard to avoid it like considering where I am. I just won't turn on the computer until I'm ready to watch. -
Can't count on those useless wasters for anything.

About to go out so I'll have to catch this one delayed. I'm incredibly excited. We'll probably lose like. Mental of Sky to be predicting a win of us imo, but you never know... -
Ironic that Mido now starts over the man that famously replaced him in 2006 to score the winning goal in the ANC semi-final. Also, so much for 'better than Shearer' and 'top top clubs will want to sign him.'

Wise has left the building - Official
acrossthepond replied to Christmas Tree 's topic in Newcastle Forum
...Bassong's 'debut at Doncaster Rovers' was a friendly where his name wasn't on the teamsheet. I hardly think we were 'mystified' by his arrival after it had been, you know, officially announced - and he's been our best player - and Keegan signed him, not Wise. Load of sycophantic crap, just trying to tell us what they think we want to hear now. Piss off. -
Harry Redknapp: Ashley has rolled the dice and thrown a Six
acrossthepond replied to Jimbo's topic in Newcastle Forum
Does anyone care what that cockney pissant has to say about our club? I also disagree with the statement that appointing Shearer is on a level with Keegan. -

Don't ever show your face here again you poison dwarf. Is this the end of the 'cockney mafia?' Llambias next! Still more trash to be swept up lads! -
'They're not a good side' 'He's not a good enough player to score.' Can you imagine a professional acting that way? The way he laughs when he mentions Johansson...pure unadulterated tosser. Love to see the interview after Germany wallop them.

Could you tell me again how this thread is in defence of Spurs? I think I missed it the first time.
