Talk of Khan wanting a fight with Mayweather. Sounds daft but when you think about it someone with Khan's sheer speed and jab could trouble him providing he uses his head.

Ranger must be game, like. Even Routledge was laying into him for the boxers

I loved the photo of him, Sol and an almost naked Tiote that he posted earlier

Any worry that the number 9 shirt/new contract/England call up would go to his head looks to have been misplaced. He's a lad who just loves playing his football and he gives 100% each and every game. Some of his work on Saturday night was magnificent.

I hope you called him a nasty name.

True Faith tries a bit too hard for my liking. It reads like MM is having a midlife crisis. I still prefer it to the Mag though which is only good nowadays for Billy Furious. I've been meaning to pick up a copy of Wraith's new fanzine for a while now just to see what the craic is. There's another one I thumbed through briefly yesterday (Black & White Daft, IIRC) which has only just been launched. It was okay but nothing groundbreaking.

Second only to the Nazi salute that wasn't a Nazi salute in the pathetic stakes.

His agent is Paul Stretford.

There were a few occasions yesterday when Simpson tore strips off Taylor for playing Liverpool onside and his response was to wave his arms a bit He'd be shit hot at semaphore.

I heard a collective sarcastic "ooh" from our lot and turned around to see a bunch of scouse charvas giving it the big'un. Some petite police lassy was trying to hold them back while they were all stood there giving it the 'mon then pose. I was quite far away so I didn't see any punches thrown, it looked like bravado more than anything else but it was fucking hilarious. Great half time entertainment Seems we got the stereotypical scousers yesterday.

Rightly or wrongly he'll get booed.

If coming across as dancing monkeys is all we've got to worry about then I still see no reason to protest. Mongs will be there regardless so the more sensible people involved the better.

Oh do piss off tedious fuckzip.

Astonished people like Parky were suckered in to the "came across well/said the right stuff" bollocks. He's been rehearsing this for ages man. It's more or less the same stuff Kinnear came out with when he wasn't lying his fucking face off about signing Argie internationals.

Offensive to every single sense, isn't he?

I've always regarded Llambias as an insufferable prick with a weaker backbone than Christopher Reeve. I doubt the snivelling fucker has ever said no to Mike in his entire life.

We could just save ourselves a whole lot of bother by getting in the car, driving down to Derbyshire and doing him and his house over. Just a thought I don't think you'll find a car, minibus or coach large enough to accomodate everyone who wants to dish out a kick of two to his kidneys to be fair

Like I said hopefully this is just the start of something more sustained. You've got a lot of people who have either already bought their tickets for Liverpool or, as in my case, are season ticket holders. There's no point staying away when he's already got your cash. I don't intend to renew next season and I'm avoiding buying anything NUFC or SD related like the plague because as you've said you've got to hit them in the pocket. I don't think they'll have any massive impact but I get the feeling Ashley and Llambias aren't keen on protests. They want a boys club where they can go, watch a game of football, have a laugh and Dekka can run around the pitch with his cock and balls on show when Mike demands. If we make life so uncomfortable for Ashley he decides he can't come to the games claiming he's fearful of his safety he'll not be a happy lad. It may be petty, but in the short term that would cheer me up.

I agree with JawD. Ashley can only get away with this because of apathy, people are far too willing to shrug their shoulders after a week or two and accept the shite we're presented with out of some misplaced notion of support. There needs to be a concerted effort to make a stand now not just for one game but until Ashley either runs this club professionally or fucks off entirely. It may not work, but neither will sitting on our hands whinging at the results every other Saturday. Hopefully this'll be the start of something coordinated that we can really get behind, something that the NUST should be doing but for whatever reason aren't.

I want NUFC to succeed. The problem is I don't think it'll ever happen with Ashley, Llambias and to a lesser extent Pardew at the club therefore I believe protests and boycotts to be the way forward. Short term pain for long term gain. That's what it comes down to. Are enough people willing to take the short term pain? From an outsiders point of view, you struggled and got relegated largely due to Ashley, but because you had some good players left and a half decent young manager, you came back up. It's easy to lose sight of the original problem with that success and your premier league wins, but Ashley is still there and will still make poor decisions. At best under him you might be a yo-yo club, and Newcastle should be more than that. We'll soon find out. I think quite a few people may say enough is enough if we look like heading down a second time, especially with the three year season ticket deals coming to an end. The more I think about it the more I believe could go very wrong for Ashley without a coordinated protest because people are getting fed up.

Is that real? Yep. A Charlton fanzine printed it when he was doing shit there and he threatened to sue.

I can imagine the conversation just before they went into the press conference. Pardew: "Are you coming in with me Derek?" Derek: "Oh, erm, yeah I..I just need to get something from the car. Be right back." *Patter of running feet, car door slamming, car driving away, plane taking off* Spoken like a true Family Guy fan More Simpons. I was thinking more Big Train http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8VAJSXsIFo
