Craig

thoughts go out to him, his family and his club. The BBC site reports that he's lost feeling in his left side and has also had speech difficulties and is currently in a specialist hospital in Cambridge. Up to 6 months for a recovery they reckon

From what I've heard, Upson & Bridge are serious targets and I hope the link with Ashton has some substance. Kevin Davies seems to have promise but isn't he getting on a bit? Never made it at Blackburn but was awesome at Southampton and has done a canny job at Bolton. Anton Ferdinand? No thanks - IMO is still a very unproven player who is in the limelight because of his surname. He has shown promise but I don't think he's anywhere near Rio's level. Nugent would be a good addition to the squad but I think he'd be approached only if we didn't get someone else (i.e. Ashton).

Wasn't good enough in all but his first season and a half here. 'Fantastic' was it Laurent? You were paid handsomely and were bone fucking idle, you betcha it was fantastic - I'd prefer to give the shirt to someone who appears to give a fuck. We'd be absolutely nuts to even contemplate taking that lazy shite back on our books which is why I fully expect that fat bastard of a chairman to be drawing up a contract as we type

Well she's stayting in another night. The canular in her hand has collapsed so they're having to put another one in. She's lying beside me now flaked out and I'm contemplating eating her dinner (although I'm being put off by the fact that it's NHS grub)! Oh yeah, they need to invest in decent Z-beds for the parents too. I woke up with horrid back-ache this morning!

Well they reckon the lower lobe of the right lung is collapsed. Something (probably mucus) is blocking the tube to the lobe and this needs to be cleared - i.e. coughed up! Might be some foreign object that she's swallowed, but neither of us can remember her choking on anything so suspect it's mucus. Should be home at some point today

I'll say, £200K of it was going to be ours. That would have been the mortgage paid off and the type of house I'd want to buy bought outright!

On a related note, My brother in law puts the same six numbers every draw only a week ago Wednesday, he decided not to bother as it was pissing down and couldn't be arsed to go to the shop (he doesn't have internet at home at the moment as he's just moved). You guessed it, all 6 numbers came up. He would have won £1.4m!! To say he's absolutely gutted is an understatement

Elton John? That's Sir Elton John!

How many times have we said something like that, only for the money to be spent on postions that aren't necessarily a priority? We need players in before any more leave - regardless of who they are!

They'd probably reach!

Cheers peeps! It's like a recurring nightmare, as soon as they said her breathing was too shallow I knew exactly what was up. The chest x-ray this afternoon just confirmed it. Got another problem, the missus is staying in hospital with her. As a result I have a 1 year old lad at home who's still breast fed at night and breakfast time so any lass out there with large mamaries who wants to lend a hand would be more than welcome. As for Finley, he can be bottle fed for a couple of days!

Who says that lightning doesn't strike twice?? Charlotte has been unwell for about a week now, took her back to the doctors today who weren't happy with her shallow breathing and referred her to hospital. She was diagnosed with pneumonia this afternoon and is in hospital until at least Sunday. Talk about deja vu? All the doctor's and nurses remembered us from when Finley was in (mind you it is only 10 months ago...)

Happy birthday!

Except I'm going to be in Serbia at the time. Shi'ite. 10 minute drive from my office, I certainly will be there

You'll back Shepherd on the fact that he was delighted he'd moved on yet took a back step when the criticism came flooding in and let SBR take all the flak? Isn't this the chairman who'd supposed to back his managers? The blokes a money-grabbing coward and needs to get the fuck out of this club!

Aye you've got a point there like...

You filthy fucking animal, your mother must be horrified man!

Brock man, you live like a fucking slut! How the hell can you work with all that crap surrounding you?

He'll go for more than £5m - FACT France, Italy, US or, more likely IMO, Japan!

The fat waster would probably get Oliver to write it so it'll be one big pile of bollocks! SLP, I know you're stating the "IF's" but I'd tend to believe SBR over FS.

I used to dislike the man, I'm quickly beginning to detest him! He's fucking ruining this football club and sadly there's sod all we can do about it unless he decides he wants to step aside. Sometimes I wonder why I subject myself to supporting NUFC, but it's just something that can't be helped I guess.

do a search on YouTube for Brock Manson! Or you could always search through the threads on here where it's been posted before

EDIT: damned you Matt!

No doubt SBR (who he's always gone on record as saying is the one that Freddy got right) will be a compulsive liar in the eyes of LM.

I'm appalled that a man who could treat one of the greatest English managers there's been with total contempt is in charge of the club I support. If what has been posted is true then it's absolutely disgusting and totally confirms my opinion of him. Newcastle United truly is a laughing stock and I'd be interested, if Shepherd does go, to hear the opinions of people such as Carver, Shearer, Speed & Sir John to see where they stand on what Sir Bobby has written. LeazesMag called Souness a cancer, he was a mere summer cold in comparison to Shepherd.
