No way Fulham. Firing on all cylinders with baldy up front now. I think it's a false hope for them. Fully expect them to crash and burn..... Internet £10? I never bet money where the fate of NUFC is concerned....

I think Fulham, Stoke and West Brom will do well to avoid the bottom 3 come May. In addition to that I think the likes of Wigan, Bolton and perhaps even Sunderland and West Ham will all finish below Newcastle and Spurs.

Your Lowest Point Of Supporting Newcastle Ever??
Craig replied to Cheetzy's topic in Newcastle Forum
I remember that game clearly... The bloke was lucky to get out of SJP alive tbh - people wanted blood. It was a travesty of the highest order. The 'play off' season was full of the now I come to think of it - one which springs to mind was being brought down to earth with a huge bump by Steve Bull on NYD. Scored all 4 goals for Wolves as they run riot. I think there and then I knew we weren't good enough to bounce straight back up. The other one was the cup game against Man Utd. Despite being behind 3 times, I think we gave the the run around and they were lucky to come away with a 3-2 win. Mind you I still to this day don't know how we got away with Kevin Scott's goal. Quinny was on a his hands and knees beind Jim Leighton's legs, school-playground stylie making damned sure he tripped over him... -
I agree with everything you say.... right up to that bit in bold! You are taking the piss, right?

...and if they don't, the FIA will always find a way....

fckin helllllll......... Smacks of betrayal to me, cover my face when I get out of it etc etc if it was a red and white striped work shirt or something i could see where you were coming from but c'mon, that's fucking ridiculous man - it's a car!

First brand new car I got was red. Without trying to enflame you LM, waivering over a choice of car simply because of the colour is tenious, a bit sad and frankly, quite a feminine trait

I have to disagree with both you and Craig here. Aside of the fact that I obviously rate Taylor more than both of you ... I think that selling players, particularly players who are a fabric of the club, now - at this point in time [not that we should ever do it] and this includes Shay Given, will send out all the wrong signals to everybody in football. Going down the old road pre-Hall and Shepherd [yes I know, but it has to be said] is not an option, and will only cement the impression [and totally confirm it in the eyes of many] that we truly have gone backwards, back to those days. Allowing such a thing to happen would be nothing other than a disaster. selling players though is fine as long as you have a better replacement lined up. 12mill should have ensured that but in the Ashley world we wouldn't. its up to the manager though, ref Keegan when he sold Cole and replaced him with Les Ferdinand. I think this is possibly the only time in all my years of supporting the club where they have sold a top, top player for a top, top fee, and actually managed to replace him with a better one. The usual scenario is if you sell players "because you can't turn down the price" you spend more money trying to find a suitable replacement. There are exceptions, but they are rare. James Milner - i was in favour of that, on the surface, not just because I HOPED Keegan would use the money well, but also because I just don't rate Milner that highly in the first place. Different for Taylor though, I do rate him a lot and just now mate, the squad will have a real fight on its hands just to stay up. If we sold Taylor and tried to replace him with 2 cheaper players or something, well that is exactly the way the club was run by the old regime in the 70's and 80's. We'll see. But I would want the club not to sell any of our best players, ever, without getting a better one through the door first. Although Ferdinand was a very good player, it was still manure that came out of the transfer deal well ahead. I don't think Ferdinand was better than Cole and when you look at the return by each player all we did was set manure up for years in goal scoring. I disagree with that, I think Ferdinand was demonstrably better. Had they been at the club the other way around (i.e. Ferdinand was the player who we had in our debut season in the Premiership and then we replaced him with Cole), I don't think anyone would have ever talked about Cole. Andy Cole gave us something we'd not had for decades - a free-scoring, speedy, scoring machine. But while this was valuable with devastating effect, I'd say there was little else to offer to him game apart from pace, a blistering shot and accuracy. He was like a better Oba Martins IMO. Ferdinand was a more complete striker and still the best header of the ball I have ever seen in a Newcastle shirt (Shearer included).

Pot holes in the road, Overgrown foliage, fly-tipping, dumped cars, knackered street lights? Then report it here: http://www.fixmystreet.com Clever idea for a site - looks like they automatically report it to the correct department on your behalf and seems to 'work' as well. Also allows you to check up on problems in your area that have already been reported. Bung your post-code in and see what's going on

Oh fucking hell please!!! £24m for Milner & Taylor would make the Woodgate rip-off seem like peanuts...

tbqfh if you need Jack Daniels to calm you down from the football results, then you need to get a grip. If it was the other way around (become rational when sober) that'd make sense.

As it's the NOTW, I take this with a massive pinch of salt but that line alone seems to confirm he's learned absolutely fuck all.

After that it has to be the defeat to West Ham at home the season before which confirmed our relegation from Division One. Didn't think it'd get muh worse but losing to the Mackems and then watch so-called 'fellow fans' trying to get the game abandoned was gut-wrenching and embarrassing. -
I've had 26 years of following this club, if i got the major arse after each shitty result we've had to endure I'd have been sectioned by now.. Game's over, we can't change fuck all - on to the next one
-
Knowing NUFC, we'll do what we did last season, play our fucking hearts out, deserve something and narrowly walk away with fuck all Always the same - the teams we should beat, we never do. It's only when we get to play one of the teams who should cream us do we actually start playing as a team - it's frustrating as fuck.

From .COM, 2008 stats. Obafemi Martins - App: 8(0); Goals: 4 Michael Owen - App: 6(4); Goals: 5 Doing a fantastic job of destroying your own argument here like...

Yes? if we didn't give away stupid fucking goals Martins scoring would get us points he's a striker who is scoring... what more do you want... and he apparently put a great ball through for owen to miss from point blank range Which totally defeats your own argument against Owen... well done Pound for pound, Martins misses more clear-cut chances than Owen and that's fact rather than opinion

Quite looking forward to this one, Festival Place is about a mile away from my house

But not as an adult, eh Steve? I'll never forget him saying he'd prefer Man Utd to win the Cup Final in 1999... Cunt
