Craig

He brought in the Irish contingent didn't he? Loads of 'fringe' Premiership players and also Dwight Yorke who, whatever anyone else says about him, knows how to score in the Premiership. I think they'll surprise a few next season.

Is Scunny your first love Gol or Newcastle? Be interesting if in a year or two you lot dragged yourselves up into the Premiership Scunny first - my home town and I've been watching them for 25 years now. No chance we'll ever get in the Premiership; we just don't have the financial backing or the fanbase. Most football fans in Scunthorpe go and watch either Leeds or Man United. Same could have been said of Swindon and Barnsley, but they both made it (obviously didn't last).

Fucking crapping himself at the prospect of a career at Villa, obviously...

So 12 months after he was too old for us, suddenly he's not? How much is this little gem going to end up costing us considering we could have had him for nothing last year??? Well, it's the NOWT, so it's likely to be absolute bollocks, but it would really be ridiculous if it were true... Given the fact that we're Newcastle United, we have to stick that disclaimer in by default these days....

A 4.3 is not barely a fart. I know someone who lives in Hythe who was woken up by it. It woke him up and he'd been out on a bender last night and nowt wakes him up!

Knowing our luck, he'd probably be a roaring success!

One of my good mates at work is a Leeds fan. They may have some wankers who follow them, but they are football fans all the same. I feel a degree of sympathy for them - they've done what we avoided by the skin of our teeth 15 years back. They will be back though.

IF he does go, I reckon they'll promote Sammy Lee...

Even if that's true it's a remarkable achievement none-the-less....

Grenta confirmed in SPL - fair play to them!

Sad state of affairs really. And we could well have ended up down the same road.

Bus conductors!

Google images is your friend....

We know you only too well!

Aye probably. To be fair to her (when have I ever felt like being fair to her?!) she's very pregnant and also just got Harvey out of hospital after he was scalded so they've got a lot going on. She'd be a fucking nightmare regardless IMO. The kind of relative the nurses want to smack??

Heard that on the radio - they haven't declared which varient it is either. Jordan is supposed to be at the hospital and 'beside herself'. Last thing he probably needs tbh!

Yup just noticed - so two members out of over 1000?? Cracking return that mind!

Only one I can think of is Gemmill's.....

I remember when Leeds were rumoured to be offering us £18m for him - jesus, if only.....

Dear Mam.... You know you said you'd kill me if I ever got blood on the carpet again?? .......there's no need

Are you talking about the same Sima? Happy birthday you miserable git!

Yeah I know...... Although, £8m for Dyer is equally fairy-tale stuff - hope to hell it happens

Swap him for Berbatov!

Anyone else seeing a connection here?
