very encouraging performance - we deserved something from that. We carry on like that and we'll survive - problem is I bet we 'disappear' again against Hull...

bugger

Could have been worse... you could have been at Wembley with 39,000 of the fuckers. That was purgatory tbh

Also restart the print spooler service. Doubt it'll make much difference but it's worth a try.

Have you started drinking early or something? Happy birthday BTW - if you'd have filled out your profile properly, someone would have probably started a thread

The raping of our arse is going to be of epic proportions.

So the local press have been 'bought'? It really is back to the Seymour Jnr / McKeag days

I remember when they started building the SJH stand at the end of the promotion season, a whole raft of builders sat on the concrete forms that had been complete in full PPE gear during the matches. Like they were ever going to do any work then

All yours sir - and hopefully we can add some more

It's no spambot

I actually think it's a brilliant film - the suspense racked up by virtue that you don't see the shark itself until halfway through. The shark POV camera work is awesome. And when you realise it was done like that as a contingency rather than planned, it's all the better. It's a fantastic film. The second one is quality as well actually. Second one's OK apart from that fucking screaming bitch who I just wish they'd get sick to death of and chuck her in the shark's gums for some peace and quiet. The 3rd and 4th ones however...

Don't forget the posh wannabe ghets who stood in the centre-west... Me and my mates, baring in mind we were little more than bairns used to call that the soft end. They were quiet as fuck in there too. Chants of "sing in the corner" or "sing in the scoreboard" was always met with deafening noise. "Sing in the centre-west" was always met with a muffled noise. Of all the standing areas in the ground (I stood in them all at one point or another, I always preferred the Leazes paddocks. The amount of shit handed out to the away lot in the west Leazes section was immense. The match when we played Spurs (when Gazza scored both goals) there was a meat pie artillery assault on that section - the bloke selling meat pies must have thought it was his lucky day! Happy memories

He's an absolute cunt that bloke, I know him personally 20. The bloke in the East Stand who used to make indian noises, mind I quite like those alarm noises the bloke in LL7 makes. 21. People sitting on the roofs of the student flats on Leazes Terrace watching the match when it was sold out 22. People jumping from the East Stand on to the boxes to retrieve the ball. 23. Airhorns 24. How man, hey man chants and pushing and shoving 25. Toon fans singing YNWA, a very welcome exclusion these days I must say. 26. Munich songs, a variety of anti-Leeds songs 27. Keegan's Hot Dogs (with onion) 28. The Mag containing unsensored swearing, especially Walker Dan the cartoon character I remember watching the match against West Ham on the telly (when we won 4-0) and hearing that for the first time.

Most people, aye. Chelsea groundsmen aren't welcome like...

Wrong!

Good point, you've reminded me of one - updating the OP

1. A bouncing surge on the gallowgate terrace during a rendition of 'The Blaydon Races' 2. A beach ball being tossed around the crowd 3. Two lasses walking around the cinder track accompanied by wolf-whistles 4. A scoreboard - commonly breaking down with 'remaining minutes' reducing to 00 despite only having played 10 minutes. 5. The flag being passed around 6. The local press photographers waiting by the halfway line until they work out which the teams will be playing towards before promptly legging it to the end that Newcastle are attacking 7. The same photographers pegging it the length of the touchline, complete with kit when Newcastle conceed a penalty 8. Feet stamping in the old West Stand 9. A bunch of blokes using the corner flags to unpick the nets off the goalposts as soon as the final whistle went. 10. Steam coming from the Gallowgate end - a sure sign that someone hadn't been arsed to go to the bogs 11. Burning season tickets / scarves / shirts like when relegation was confirmed in 1989 12. The portakabins 13. The local majorettes - i swear that lass was going to have someone's eye out with that baton one day 14. Benfield Motors driving a shabby Cavalier along to the tunnel from the Leazes West corner before the match as some promotional stunt. 15. "Mick Quinn(*) drives for Benfield Motors" on the scoreboard (* - different player every week!) 16. Santa is a Geordie doing a run around the Milburn stand in the last home game before Christmas. 17. Old Stevie 18. The deafening sustained roar as the match is about to kick off 19. The massive crest in the middle of the pitch (those who were low down at the touchlines during the late 80s / early 90s will know exactly what I mean!) I bet that's made a few of you chuckle... Keep them coming - i'm sure there's more

Precisely.... When the grim reaper of redundancy comes knocking, he's going to look favourably on those who show willing. EDIT: no disrespect KD, but your response tipifies how stable a career in healthcare is. Unfortunately in other lines of work you just can't look it it so black and white...

The problem was outside the terraces - i.e. the number of turnstiles and the bottle-neck that was the elbow on Leppings Lane where the entrance to the ground was. In hindsight the ground wasn't equipped to deal with a cup semi-final - decent capacity but that was it. Easy to say that now though.
