  1. Just a thought, if it turns out he is HIV positive how will opposition players react?

    Would he be forced to retire because of blood issues?

    Is that why the club have refused to disclose what is actually wrong with him?

    (This all speculation and if you take the Magic Johnson case for example it was declared basketball was a non contact sport, football isn't.)

  2. And if he can get the team to the round of 16 he's been promised Tasmania!

    And if they get to the quarter-finals, he gets to give it back again...

    Did you know Meenzer it is still illegal in Tasmania to have anal sex (doesn't matter if you're hetro or homo) so maybe letting Aussie Gus have it could be a good thing.

    Fuck if he can get Australia to the final then he gets my vote for King.

  3. If someone can't stretch to a C I can't imagine they'll be soloing up and down the neck anytime soon.

     

    I must point out that I was 10 at the time!

    Oh aye. No shame in it. Most people struggle to start with. It was directed at Sammy. I don't think anyone should progress to lead till they've mastered their chords and scales.

     

    My one bit of advice - It's a good idea to do 1 or 2 hours a night for the first month to really harden your fingertips ASAP. If you practice a couple of times a week it'll still be hurting 6 months down the line.

    And drink lots, that way you will always sound better.

    Happy face, read the comment with a smile on your face and not seriously or did I need to include a :unsure: for you to get it!

  4. What is Hiddink's contract situation with the aussies? Is it a part-time role?

    63561[/snapback]

     

    Initially it was up to the qualifiers with a retainer if they qualified.

    Since qualifying it is still part-time/shared him with PSV but he has been given funds to hire more coaches/advisers/staff who will be full-time for the Australian team.

    Supposedly getting Australia through the qualifiers earnt him a A$1m bonus plus additional funds for staff of around A$5-6m.

     

    And if he can get the team to the round of 16 he's been promised Tasmania!

  5. I'm still scarred from a Year 6 music lesson whereby no matter how hard i tried, I could not stretch my fingers to play a C chord.

    Then refuse to play rhythm and only play the lead bits!

    Either that or play bass.

  6. People may not like what the guys at nufc.com have to say but their reaction to last night is spot on.

    Disgraceful

     

    Wigan Res  1  Newcastle  0

     

    Diabolical, deplorable, dreadful, shocking, pitiful, pathetic, embarrassing, unbelievable, dismal, feeble, useless, awful, appalling, abysmal, shameful, astonishing, staggering, atrocious, inexcusable.

     

    You take your pick, but words simply cannot describe the depths to which this team fell tonight at the JJB Stadium.

     

    The 1-0 scoreline flattered us. If we'd been 4-0 down by half-time we couldn't have complained after a first half that beggared belief.

     

    Wigan's second string (their team had nine changes from the one beaten by Spurs) outclassed the strongest team we could muster to an alarming degree. At one stage the corner count was 11-0 in favour of the home side.

     

    The fact that it took a dubious late penalty for our fate to be sealed was totally incidental as only some poor finishing and some decent stops by Shay Given had kept us in the game.

     

    To say that we were ragged would be something of an understatement.

     

    This was as close as you get to a bye into the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup and we blew it big time.

     

    Where does that leave the current manager and his band of merry men? Well the half-time boos turned into cat-calls and cries of "we want Souness out" by the final whistle.

     

    The Chairman was left in no doubt about current feeling when around 40 fans surrounded his Range Rover as it got stuck in traffic leaving the ground, chanting "Souness out".

     

    Saturday is likely to see two sets of irate fans turning on their managers, should they still be there by then, of course....

     

    Full match report to follow.

     

    Team: Given, Ramage, Boumsong, Elliott, N'Zogbia, Bowyer (Brittain 45), Parker, Solano, Emre (Faye 71), Shearer, Luque (Chopra 57).

    Subs n/u: Harper, Clark.

     

    Booked: Emre.

     

    Wigan: Pollitt, Taylor, Jackson, Thome (Henchoz 30), McMillan (Baines 45), McCulloch, Teale, Skoko, Mahon, Connolly, Johansson (Roberts 69).

    Subs n/u: Francis, Bullard.

     

    Booked: Skoko.

     

    Goal: Connolly 88 pen.

     

    Crowd: 11,574

     

    Referee: Steve Bennett (Kent)

  7. Warne is one of the best sportsmen in the world, his off-field activites aside, both how he plays the game and the spirit in which he plays it. I wish he was English.

     

    I've always thought Hewitt was a model pro as well.

     

    Now, Harry Kewell on the other hand...

    63211[/snapback]

    You have miss understood luke.

    They all have that cuntish aspect to them, ie. over the top celebrations, trying everything they can get away with in order to gain an advantage (something that is over the top in football at the moment anyway), slating the opposition, etc - combine that with their increased exposure it makes it very easy to dislike them because they come across as "are a nasty, whingeing, over-competitive, cheating shitbag(s)." to quote NJS.

  8. Souness should be dragged out of Newcastle by his hair !

    63203[/snapback]

     

    Continuing Django Reinhardt's ratings:

     

    Souness - Dumb arse, fucking useless, sophicticated sweep which is greying around the edges.

    Not so much a hair style but a disguise so the footballing world doesn't realise this man is a useless cock. Unlike our chariman and the fooballing media that continues to support this dick, we, Newcastle's supporters, all know that placing a tie around it and a toupee on the end doesn't change him from being a worthless penis.

  9. Not really a fan of Strats either, Its a nice desing n'all but walk into any guitar shop and you'll see dozens of them. I'd rather have something a bit more unique.

  10. If we can't get the manager we want now give it to Roeder until the summer.

    63186[/snapback]

     

    the blokes got a dodgy ticker, you couldnt wish our team on him, he'd peg it after one game.

    63198[/snapback]

    Well if he did chances are we'd finally see one of our players actually run down the sideline, instead of cutting inside as Souness seems to want.

  11. I think we would definitely have the edge over Rangers when it comes to attracting people like Le Guen, even if Rangers were doing well. We've got a number of fantastic players and there will always be more money to spend for the manager here than at Rangers. That and the fact that we play in the much-hyped Premier League and Rangers don't means we're not in such a bad position. The question is whether that fat excuse of a chairman will even consider appointing someone who doesn't speak perfect Geordie.

     

    Not that it means anything because I can't see it happening anyway, but I remember Shepherd saying that he would consider resigning if his appointment of Souness didn't work out.

    63160[/snapback]

     

    Like I can understand people's reservations about us getting someone like Hitzfield or even Le Guen but what about Deschaump's?

    He knows the premier league, he did really well at Monaco until they decided to sell all their stars (or not purchase Morientes) and not replace them.

  12. I'd love either of them here - not going to happen though! As shit as they are, Rangers are a better prospect....

    63104[/snapback]

     

    How exactly are they a better prospect??

     

    ;)

    63123[/snapback]

     

    I think they have a more realistic chance of qualifying for Europe....

    63128[/snapback]

    So does TNS in Wales but that doesn't make them a better prospect.

    If Shearer and the fat man have already agreed on the step up next season, then forget Milburn's record and Shearer should have the balls to take the job NOW.

    If he doesn't then he's not ready next season either.

    63136[/snapback]

     

    Comparing TNS with Rangers is hardly realistic now is it?

    63141[/snapback]

    Yes and no. You made the point about Europe , I'm just pointing out that even TNS has that chance.

    Craig, we still have a chance via the league if the team is sorted now.

    Wait much longer and we will be trying to beat the stat Souness set last season, lowest finish in the Premier league for Newcastle ever.

  13. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Souness sign a 2 year contract (with the club having options on him up to 5 years)?

     

    If that's true then we'd have to pay him compo if we sack him now but none (or very little) if we wait til the summer.

     

    I'd hate to see him taking money of us which we could use for re-building. Now if he were to be persuaded to resign.... ;)

    63138[/snapback]

    It wouldn't cost the club any more than what he has cost them so far with low league positions, cup failings, sale of players below their value and the moneys lost if we were actually relegated.

  14. I'd love either of them here - not going to happen though! As shit as they are, Rangers are a better prospect....
