Apart from Roma?

Speaking of strikers with attitude problems, Balotelli was on the lash up here last night

It's played on a loop at my house. "There's a kill screen coming up, if anybody wants to see it...There is a potential Donkey Kong kill screen coming up...There's a Donkey Kong kill screen coming up if you're interested..."

No King of Kong?

Leverage buyouts are "OK & legal" in the UK as far as I'm aware, this just makes him a much bigger cunt than we initially thought.

Photo with you holding it up? I'll post a photo of me using it to wipe my arse when I get it.

The club are sending nasty letters to people they have identified in the Gallowgate Corner as persistent standees/trouble makers.

No but if your a club who can't sign a left back that's what you'll say, esp when you've just sold a decent one He made his name and has played predominantly at left back over his career. We can add him to the "left winger and completely right footed Jonas" list who only plays on the left for us, nevermind never playing their for his previous club or the argies (bar once in a blue moon when he's not on the right as a wingback under crazy diego) How odd Jonas turned into a left winger when we flogged duff and needed one. I'm willing to lay odds on me having seen him play an awful lot more than you, he really didn't but think what you like I really can't be arsed getting into this argument. I won't reply to it again if you think he's a left back fair enough lap it up (that goes for the rest on here who have watched a youtube clip and have decided oh aye he's a leftback alright) If/when he gets caught out for being completely right sided or isn't putting in crosses earlier enough because he's constantly switching back to the right foot please no one come on here whinging about not having a left back. Fucking hell, calm down dear He broke into the Inter side under Mourinho ahead of Chivu (the period in which I saw most of him) and the got furnished with the new Maldini tag because like him he was a right footed defender playing on the left.

I preferred the last Raylor rumour you posted.

I don't hate Barton (I'm not a fan of the revisionism that happens when a player leaves the club, but that's for another thread) but I'm not going to bum him either. I'm somewhere inbetween - I appreciate his contribution last season, realise we've lost a fantastic footballer but I'm relieved the circus that follows him no longer has its tent pitched in Newcastle. I've no doubt that financal gain motivated him but then who wouldn't be swayed by tens of thousands of pounds extra? I do think he'd have preferred to stay here but he was never going to be a favourite of those running the place, especially not after he had it out with Llambias when Hughton was sacked. My ire is once again reserved for those in charge of the club. He's a great footballer who we've given away to a rival for no other reason than those in charge have misplaced their copy of Football Ownership for Dummies. Sell him for a fee? Fine. Let him leave for free? Utterly mental.

His minute by minute derby day review is canny - http://www.nufcthreatlevel.com/

Plus there's also the fact that a player of Harper's age, quality, tan and experience could really help the young 'keepers develop and prove to be a more than capable number two. Instead we're freezing him out and replacing him with a 25 year old who is treading water in League One.

Made the most tackles without giving away a foul in the whole league yesterday according to someone on N-O.

I moved to the Strawberry corner, very back row and I have to say I'm impressed. Good view of the game, I can stand, I can sing and the lads and lasses around me are sound as fuck (a nice healthy mix of both SE corner regulars and L7 movers from what I can gather). The only bit of trouble I saw was a few rows in front when three lads refused to sit down and a bloke a few rows back had a whinge to the stewards, which resulted in a protracted argument between all three parties. I can't comment on the level of patter in the toilets but I'll report back after the Fulham game.

I thought he was actually coming into the game when Pardew took him off. He barely got a touch of the ball for the first 30 minutes but after that he slowly got more involved. Still convinced he'll be the perfect foil for Tiote in time. It's a shame and slightly shambolic they've never played together until yesterday.

The gold place, aye. Washington isn't ready for Harry Ramsdens, we only got a KFC last year.

You planning on tearing up Washington again the neet? Aye. I'm going to head to the Galleries, set a couple of mobility scooters alight and do Ramsdens over.

Quiet tonight. The only trouble seems to be in Eltham where the EDL, with no ethnics to pick on, have decided to turn from vigilantes to rioters. Currently involved in a stand off with the Met.

Good post. Though the one thing that doesnt sink with me. I was brought up in benwell from '72 until '79 when I moved to West Denton. It's fair to say I lived in a rough area. I done fuck all at school bar daydream. I fit your example perfectly. Encouraged by my Father to go out and work and that training schemes were slave labour. I got one O level (Actually a GCSE, the first year they were done) and that was in Art. I wanted to resit Maths as I just missed out. Went back to 6th form but left in Jan to get a job and earn money. Didnt go to uni. Dont have a criminal record. Stolen from a shop once as a teen and got caught. Thank fuck I did tbh. Otherwise Im your typical bloke who stays on the right side of the law (bar speeding, but thats another discussion). I now run my own business through nowt but hard graft. I never felt like society owed me anything. Never felt hard done by even when I had my first flat and no carpets, no bed. I slept on a sofa that I was given and washed my clothes in the bath. This was when I was about 19 and in Newbiggin Hall. First job I earned £6500 a year. Never once did I think "fuck this, I deserve better so I'll steal it". Hard graft, head down. Everything I have I've earned. Was on the dole once for 2 weeks and hated it. So, all this talk of "theres no opportunities" and "I dont get paid to go to Uni" or whatever. I'm sure you can see why I think "Fuck You". Also maybe you can see why I do tend to label many on the dole as scroungers. Of course, there are those who try and fail. But there are many who dont. To give a balanced argument though. Criminality is at all levels of society. It not just the poor. The whole things stinks of hypocrisy. The MP scoffs at the 16yr old petty thief while he files his dodgy expenses. Is it so different? But, while that is wrong, it doesnt make the former any more acceptable. You cant look at one and say its ok as the other does it. I blame the parents I actually do btw Difficult to tell from your post but am I right in thinking you came from an essentially loving and caring family? Without trying to sound completely gay here, material poverty is only a small part of the problem. Emotional neglect can be much more damaging for kids, especially young ones. Aye. Mother left us when I was 2 and I was brought up by my Gran mainly while my Dad worked (and still does) on the buses (huge images of Blakey here ) Agree re emotional neglect. I dont like to pre-judge but t's hard not to. When I see some kid getting brayed by his mother who is blowing smoke in his face while she stuffs her face on a pasty, its hard not to think "what chance have you got?"... Do you visit Washington often?

It's great, just like the board used to be, with a badly formatted photo of Shane Ferguson staring back at me once or twice every page.

You cant look at one and say its ok as the other does it. I blame the parents I actually do btw I think it shows the cataclysmic change in society and attitudes over the past 20/30 years. Your story isn't really an uncommon one for the time. EDIT: I've no idea what's posted below but thank fuck I've got CT on ignore.

As Stevie said a while back, potentially the first player to get booed at his own testimonial. Isnt be becoming a bit of cult figure now? Or is that just me? Not just you Painfully average but I can't help but like the bloke. Gets far too much abuse from the stands. He's the epitome of what has been going wrong at the club for several years now. He has his short spells of brilliance where he looks like a decent squad player and that help him to get new deals, but for the other 80% of a season he is either injured or just plain shit. There is a reason Keegan wanted to get rid of him to move on and take the club forward with all other managers deciding to stick with him the club is not making any progress. He's 29 years old now and most women have a better grasp of the offside rule than him. I agree. I still like him though. He's shit but he's our shit.

His hip is more or less in tatters too, isn't it?
