Unfortunately we probably could.

check charley-hurleys-cat's post. Now there's a mackem I could have a pint with!

Wacky and Happy: You're both lovely. I was gonna explode reading all that bum-toungery!!

Decided to strap my tin helmet on and dive in to the SMB boards. Spuds and mackems giving each other a mutual handy and I couldn't take it anymore. sigh Turns out my e-mail address is banned.

I've never seen him play, but I'm pinning my hopes on him being better than Chimbonda. We should be alright then.

Cheers, man. I agree with the media thing. Bastards to a man.

...Has everyone got this idea that we are divine-righters from? A perusal of the SMB, 606 and other forums would have you believe that we're petulant little sods who have been stamping our little feet for some time because we believe we have a right to success. That we're in strop because things aren't going our way. Excuse me if I say a gigantic What!?! into the proceedings. Where has this come from? I'm aware that them lot south of the Tyne have a very dim view of us (probably expected) but everyone else seems to have this viewpoint. Every lad I know, have met or just talked to in passing who supports Newcastle has an hopeful, yet ultimately pessimistic gallows-humour approach and has done for some time. Nothing seems to quite go right for us and we know it. Is it because of last season? We know when we've been messed about and we will let you know. Not by leaving the stadium half-empty for most of the season (Boro and Sun'lun: this means you, yer fairweather gits) but by protest in numbers. Does this somehow come across as 'deluded' (copyright: every fucker) to you? I should hope not. All clubs fans should have every right to say what they feel and not to 'just accept things' because that's all they're going to get. And sometimes they do and it works. Villa and even 'them lot' are examples of this. When it comes to us, however........ I wish I knew what it is that makes people see this in us because I sure as hell can't. Ah well. Keep on keepin' on, I suppose...

Had mesel' a heart attack there. Git.

What you talkin about man!? Why is everyone so paranoid these days!?? The webster ruling is a goodun, and a goodun to us since we picked up spiderman because if it! Its in place so a player can buy himself out is say, he is really unhappy at the club or if the club has a ridiculus valuation if him. Sounds like we mite be onto a winner hea... Don't get me wrong, I'm quite the optimist. I feel confident that he may come and the signs point to this. but This is Newcastle. Things don't normally work out this way for us. And it has echoes of the Aimaar situation as well.

skysports.com 10:19 The agent of Fabricio Coloccini has stated that that the Deportivo defender may cancel his contract with the club and walk out to join Newcastle unless a deal can be done. We being used again?

What he said.

Dark Knight. Couldn't get away with Begins but I loved this.

Best fans in the world Toon army? I would be embarrassed if the spurs official site published crap like that.

I've taken to looking on there a bit more because they seem to have more news on us than we do!!!

Oh god. SMB'ers are trawling through all our bad signings now. Fer fuckssake!

Talkspurt? I'd get better info out of me mam!

Undoubtedly the 360 and PS3 will boast superior stuff. Alas, I can afford neither so I'm chuffed that I won't miss out. Also, the wii is next-gen. Not in terms of specs, but it's part of the current line-up.

So no-one cares about this?

Clicky!

It was mine on monday :sob:

Aye.

from billyfurious.co.uk: Due to the lunchtime kick-off, Liverpool at St James’ last season was the first game after England failed to qualify for The European Championships. Steven Gerrard was, somewhat surprisingly, given a very hostile reception and later across the country other members of our “Golden Generation” of international representatives were also abused. Naturally the media were horrified and Newcastle fans in particular were scolded for their impertinence – how dare they? – (Nowhere was it reported that Peter Crouch was applauded when he came on as sub because he actually played like he gave a crap while McClaren watched from beneath his brolly). But oh how we were punished as Gerrard and Torres pulled down Sam Allardyce’s tactical trousers and exposed our big bare arse in a 3-0 win for the Reds. That put us in our place didn’t it? Gerrard, motivation called into question, going up the gears to put in an unstoppable performance to shut us up? He who laughs last – and all that. Really? Or did the massive leap in performance level and drive from Gerrard actually prove those who chose to boo him right? Only a fool would suggest Gerrard is a poor player and we haven’t got enough fools in our number to make that much noise – so the only conclusion is that Newcastle fans thought Gerrard and many of his pampered and over-hyped international team mates had let their country down. Which of course they had and beating up on a shambolic Newcastle side didn’t change that. Last laugh? Don’t make me. Were the England players who came up so pitifully short still laughing when the European Championships were on – we fans were because they were great fun and the Championships are over now which makes the last laugh ours. Ha! How many people have you spoken to in recent weeks have said “I really enjoyed it,” when talking of The European Championships, a note of surprise in their voice like they didn’t expect to? That’s because football is brilliant and we’d forgotten how much we love it under the weight of all the hateful people, greed and bullshit normally attached to the game – no England meant no Sun wallcharts, no J.T., Stevie G, Lamps, WAGS and drunk people from Essex throwing chairs at policemen. No Scotland, Irelands or Wales meant the media couldn’t assume we English would all happily support teams we actually dislike the most. In fact the best way to savour the Championships was to have even less British football involved in them. No papers, no build up – flick in and out of the games as you like and straight over to Springwatch or a National Geographic documentary on snow leopards for twenty minutes during halftime. Re-charge your glass and open another bag of nibbles for the second half, then at full-time - away round the channels in search of Family Guy. Making the mistake of turning up early or sticking around for expert analysis could only induce bitter abuse – especially on the BBC where the whole lot of them (and I include Alan Shearer) only seemed to be there to look smug and play golf (sorry those things automatically go together – you don’t need to say them both – one follows the other as does the word “cun-(bomb-noise!)”). Any football that may or may not need commentating on was clearly of secondary importance. It was no better if you went for the radio option where Chris Waddle still can’t say “penalty” (what’s a pellanti Chris?) and Alan Green has descended to a level where he now seems to find watching football physically painful. If it’s so hard Alan – f*** off and we’ll all be happier. With the commentary off altogether (replaced by spikey guitars in our house) you had no pathetic grasping for any English connection (Fabregas’ first name is not Arsenal’s) and the European Championships were thrilling, exciting, annoying, disappointing, hilarious and fun – in short - a laugh. What was Steven Gerrard doing while we were laughing? 1. wishing he’d got his damn finger out when playing for his country. or 2.Stropping round his (undoubtedly) tasteless house, shouting at the gardener, demanding Gareth Barry signs for Liverpool and wondering what him and his shark-eyed wife would wear for the Rooneys’ wedding. The answer will tell you everything you need to know about top flight football in this country.

Rubbish. Saying Spuds know about CD's is like saying Robinson Crusoe writes city guides.

well suited to the mackems then.
