I don't trust this 'kingshearer', I've never heard of any Toon fan calling Shearer 'King', it's a title usually associated with Keegan. Plus anyone who signs up to a forum without using caps for the first letter of their name and has bad grammar is suspect... ... call me paranoid

I've still got that good feeling... could there be something in the air?

Wonder if Speed might be interested to come back to the club in some capacity.

Chris is saying that he's heard nothing of Campbell coming to us and likewise denied that Taylor's leaving. Poor bloke's right out of the loop isn't he?

Yeah, I think that's what I meant, just put in a more straight forward manner

The opinions of 'casual readers from other clubs' doesn't bother me one bit. What does is the media are lovingly portraying us as deluded, out of touch, and that 'we're too big for the CCC', etc.... Whilst most of us are doing our level best to dispell that bollocks, sad cases like Stevie are just fuelling it! Being democratic/truthful many, many of our fans do think like that. You can try and dispel it by all means but it won't completely go away and sometimes you need an occasional rant to counter some of the "sensibleness". As an aside I was also thinking this morning why I've always hated Sheff Wed - probably the worst football murdering team I've ever seen under Wilkinson in 83/84. I doubt our fans are anymore deluded than anyone elses tbh, we all want/expect to do well and most people are biased towards their own team.

To be fair I think we are too big of a club to be where we are if we're going by following, ground size and history, anyone in the media who thinks otherwise is deluded imo. That said I don't think we've got much to shout about, we're where we are because we've been shit for the past few years. In essence we haven't had a team/manager worthy of our size since Bobby went, but that's been down to bad running from the top down. Sadly you don't get in to the Premiership on reputation so here we are.

nailed on to be announced today / tommorrow. ok Conference at 3pm

Like we could sign Dunne ffs. Oh come on surely Dunne would come and then maybe John Terry and lets not forget that Pato kid!! Aye, more chance of signing Pato Banton

I don't know what is more unbelievable, this prediction or that borat is reading this thread. "Eeetss Niiiace"

I don't know, I have a good feeling today, maybe... just maybe.

Because Ashley's a fat, greedy bastard?

A good start for Bassong, pleased for him in a way. Shame he plays for the Spuds now but at least he helped them beat those scouse tossers.

Surely if that's the case then any team could in theory could buy a player under the pretence of it being a loan. As long as they made a show of said player being loaned for a week first they could sign anyone on a permanent basis.

Have you ever been interviewed as a 'typical Geordie fan' by Sky Sports? Sounds like a SSN Rent-a-mong to me.

Hull are supposed to be after him too. Thinking about it though he's not going to be playing to get back in to an international team, the money would likely be around the same - where would you rather go? In a shit team in the Prem where you might struggle or a bigger team in the Championship and look awesome? The dude's at the back end of his career, I know which I'd choose.

Interesting, if we could get him he'd be easily good enough for the Championship and at 34 would probably be up for a solid push in to any promotion charge. Wonder if he still scores the odd goal too?

3-0, happy with that, hope it keeps the same for the rest of the season for us. ... I really didn't need to see Ashley and Llambias shaking hands and congratulating each other though, like they've done anything to influence anything good happening at our club.

Enrique's looked good today, been impressed.

If he did, would have to keep your "Penis" name? I've grown quite attached to it now btw

Ashley really is a scruffy, fat, charva looking scumbag isn't he. Moat on the other hand appears to have made an effort, even wearing the club tie. Here's a thought, if Moat came in what are the chances of his keeping Llambias on?

You know things have changed when you're worried about Barton being injured and unable to play for us. And Xisco is still shite by the looks of it.

Which 'wonderland' are the fans chanting about now?

Nice to see the players smiling though
