Aye that's me. Foul mouthed, ill-bred charva.

PMS? 79323[/snapback] Sense of responsibility in fact - or even RESPECT (cue T Blair) Possibly age as well TBH sometimes the grinding idiocy and/or immaturity of some of our fellow posters gets me down I blame Souness really 79330[/snapback] Jesus Christ, even by your standards that was unbelievably pompous. Know-it-all arsehole.

We can't afford you now, mate.

When you're missing your first choice, missing your second choice as well is very important, I would have said. I'm not saying the squad isn't poor - I was saying before Robson left that the squad was nowhere near as people though it was.

Piss off man Rob. It was a daft response to a dafter question. If you didn't like it, tough shit. I wasn't the only one to respond in that fashion.

Would you not agree that the reason injuries are taking their toll is down to us having no strength in depth? One man is to blame for this - Souness. He has had a 50 million spending spree in which he has let go of more players than have been brought in to a squad in which in his own words he stated "Was not big enough". That is telling it like it is... 79306[/snapback] I totally agree with what you're saying. But I also think that any club in the Premiership would be suffering badly with an injury list as long as ours.

[tongue absolutely not in cheek]You lot think highly enough of yourselves already.[/tongue absolutely not in cheek] 79298[/snapback] Coming from someone who lives in the self-styled "Greatest nation on earth".

That happening for a year and a half?? No chance. 79300[/snapback] Eh? No, the injuries are taking their toll now and we were the better side yesterday. FACT. 79301[/snapback] well we had better give him more time then eh ? 79302[/snapback] You sure you want to?

Hmmm. Fuck off.

He totally lost it the other night, and one of the blokes in the house should have stepped in the way he was going on at Marsh. I know she's a total arsehole, but there's no excuse for a bloke to be carrying on like that towards her. Totally out of order.

Thing is though, injuries are taking their toll. And we were the better side in the second half. Excuses or just telling it like it is?

Amen brother tbh.

Red doesn't suit you but you still wear that fucking tracksuit. 79050[/snapback] It would suit red hair and acne, though. 79052[/snapback] I wouldn't know, Rambo.

Red doesn't suit you but you still wear that fucking tracksuit.

Guaranteed.

I noticed it earlier on today, but I cannot be starting birthday threads for blokes. Happy birthday Luke, have a good one.

Sensible post Alex, exactly what I think about it, must mean you're a moron as well, mate. So join the club. 78885[/snapback] No, no. Just you. 78887[/snapback] Tut tut. mo·ron A person of mild mental retardation having a mental age of from 7 to 12 years and generally having communication and social skills enabling some degree of academic or vocational education. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive. Let's hope that the next time I offend someone on here it'll be acceptable to everybody. 78898[/snapback] Sounds spot on to me. 78950[/snapback] Just like Souness being a good manager, and Ameobi being a replacement for Shearer both sounded spot on to you, anarl. 78952[/snapback] Aye.

Agreed. We aren't doing particularly well, and we're doing nowhere near well enough to warrant the sort of dividends that the directors pay themselves, but we're not in any immediate financial danger. 78706[/snapback] It would be a more important point if you'd written....... We aren't doing particularly well, and we're doing nowhere near well enough to give the club the ability to continue spending, having spent £50m bringing in new employees in the last year or so. 78833[/snapback] It would be an entirely different point, no more or less important. Thanks though. 78839[/snapback] No, it would be more important to mention the £50m spent, than the comparative small amount taken in dividends. I say this on the basis that the club is in the shit because an incompetent manager has been funded to the tune of £50m, not because dividends have been paid to directors. In addition, you choose to talk about director dividends despite the fact that millions of directors are taking dividends from companies ( both good and bad ones) all over the place. 78869[/snapback] In your opinion it would be more important. In my opinion it would be a totally different point, no more important than the one I was making. But again, thanks for your input.

Golden rule of being an employee, you NEVER, NEVER go on national TV and call your manager, and by implication, the Chairman of the company you work for, a liar....... 78657[/snapback] and a manager doesn't assault his employee on the training ground .. the point is Gem, football is different, footballers are the valuable commodity not the other way round, they call the tune, if you lose them you can't replace them by putting a vacancy in an agency or the job centre.......and thats why these managers are also paid a lot of money 78725[/snapback] Good point. Don't expect a reply that addresses it properly. 78836[/snapback] Professionals are professionals, regardless of their line of work, how much they earn, or whether or not they command a transfer value, and they're expected to conduct themselves accordingly. I can't think of a club or a manager in the Premier League that would have put up with being called a liar by a player on national TV. No-one would put up with that, and nor should they, regardless of the "valuable commodity....can't be replaced down the job centre" stuff. How's that for a reply that addresses it properly? Doesn't matter how good a player Bellamy is or was. He signed his own death warrant at Newcastle United, regardless of whether of whether you believe there was provocation from Souness or not. 78842[/snapback] Credit for trying. No points for the content though. Football IS different, despite what you may want to beleive. 78873[/snapback] Damn, no points eh? Gutted. So the correct approach would have been for Shepherd to say to Souness "Now Graeme, I know this lad's just totally undermined both your and my position at the club, and made us something of a laughing stock in the national media. But you have to counter that with the fact that he runs fast and he tries hard. On balance I think it's best if you just keep him on. Maybe it does send out a message that any sort of unprofessional behaviour is acceptable at Newcastle United, and that the players rule the roost, but..........well......football IS different." Moronic. Even by your standards.

The reason I offered sarcastic "help" is because I knew that you were nailed-on to get wound up and fly off the handle. Mission accomplished.
