You got a problem with wikipedia? 88653[/snapback] People can edit it can't they? 88657[/snapback] Yep - precisely how this site is now listed higher on links page than another certain forum on the Newcastle United page! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle_United_F.C.

Are you saying that FS is a better chairman then? 88591[/snapback] Never doubted that FS is a better chairman than Forbes... Doesn't make him free from justifiable criticism though

probably yes - but WORKING radios.......................... and it was probably licenced for 250 passengers 88607[/snapback] Surprise, surprise..... 88609[/snapback] well its not so long ago that a UK registered ferry managed to set sail with the front doors open FFS Let him that is wihout sin cast the first stone etc etc 88614[/snapback] Suppose you reckon they should use their sandals as life preservers, yeah?

probably yes - but WORKING radios.......................... and it was probably licenced for 250 passengers 88607[/snapback] Surprise, surprise.....

I think his passion and motivational skills are absolutely immense. Something which, given our present predicament, we're in dire need off!

I think we'll lose a hell of a lot on Owen. How much depends on his performance in the world cup, but we paid over the odds at a time when transfers are falling. 88288[/snapback] The rumour going round liverpool is that he has a £12mil buy out clause if we fail to qualify for europe this season, apparently Jan Molby said it on scouser radio during their game on wednesday. Other then the likes of boumsong and owen. I can't see us loosing too much on any of our signings tbh 88473[/snapback] Personally I think that clause is utter bollocks. 88498[/snapback] Clause or not, I can see it happening. Owen's not going to want to hang around in a club where Europe is a distant dream. 88501[/snapback] Surely he's not naive enough to make his decision on his future BEFORE he finds out who the manager is going to be though?

JR??? 88471[/snapback] John Robertson. Believed to be the man behind the tactics whilst O'Neill was the motivator. 88492[/snapback] Ah...gotcha. And that's the John Robertson who played with him at Forest rather than the bloke who we bought from (and quickly sold back to) Hearts...? I still maintain we should try Citeh's resolve for Stuart Pearce...

Furthermore, I note the reference to Ardiles in that article. The way I saw things under Ossie's reign was that, while we were shite, the players always gave 100% and had some degree of organisation about them... Couple that of course with the fact that Ossie was given absolutely no financial backing from the board..

Is a very good article.... Was shocked and stunned listening to TalkSport this morning - they can't understand for the life of them why we've sacked Souness and were arguing the fact that we were safe from relegation! Took a convo with Graeme Courtney to point out that we're only 6 points off relegation and that if results go a certain way this weekend, we'll be one game off dropping into the bottom 3 before they realised that the situation is perilous. The timing of the sacking is terrible, the decision to do it is not - it's damage limitation now I'm afraid. Even if we survive the season by the slimmest of margins, I'll be relieved. It's an strangely similar feeling to 14 years ago when KK took over..

Rob's a member of the Royal Aeronautical Society though, so we can't possibly be right.... Good call though lads

I think you'll find that as a PLC, and with a lot of us being shareholders, it's our club! They'll still afford themselves a fat dividend. The people who will miss out ultimately because of all this sorry mess is the fans...

Craig would be proud. 88403[/snapback] That makes sense! I think if you look closely, you'll observe that Gemmill is the resident forum pedant when it comes to spelling/grammar - not me! Definately!

JR???

Thought you were off for sex? Or was that over all too quickly....?

I repeat.......HTT was like a pig in shit! 88178[/snapback] Bet there was some whooping and hollering in the admin room when they found out our database had fallen over as well!

I'm sorely tempted to make a new forum and give him access to that one only you know....

Says a lot for Sunderland really...... That's just fucking obscene, lowest of the low.... People like that are surplus to the human gene pool tbh

Best change your sig now Leazes!

yes, but did you say this when we were in the Champions League ? Shepherd out, Westwood/Murray/Ellis/Bates/Al-Fayed/kenwright/Brown/Ridsdale/Lowe/Mandrovic/Jordan/Hayward/Sugar/Gold/Hamman in 87790[/snapback] i'm saying it now. the decisions shepherd has made over the past 2 years beggar belief. 88128[/snapback] A decision which was right however was to sack Robson, however he got the timing all wrong.....

I was doing a helpcall at the time and cut the caller off!

I know. They've got Gazza for the comedy value already (as well as Ant and Dec, Tony Blair, etc). 88115[/snapback] It's because they know damned well some stupid fool will put money on it...
