McFaul

I think they are worth a couple of quid for the final. Hate Pulis and their fans but very impressed by the team. Pulis is a dour childish prick. Mind that time when Stoke lost 3-2 at home to Man City after being 2-0 up and he refused to shake Hughes' hand. Their fans are all animals though. Wembley will be populated by two of the biggest sets of Scotchwads in world football, their fans are animals, are symptomatic of urban squalor, that's what you end up with, classless tramps. I want them both to lose on Saturday.

SBR was so open in his book, he would've DEFINITELY mentioned that. Perhaps he didn't know about it. He would've mentioned the holiday. Unless he thought he was with Fred Elliott. I think it's conceivable he could've omitted a week in Spain from his biography like. Given the fact he sacked him just two short month later I doubt it. Worse than Hall taking Ossie for some scran and sacking him two days later if it is true though.

I read somewhere the average Scottish person claims £13k benefits, Six Counties (as Ewerk would call them) £12k benefits, England £8k benefits. Say nee more.

No one wants Merseyside in England. I bet I pay £20 a year from my taxes to keep Merseyside going. It's a desolate wasteland, I would love us to give to Ireland. You think am taking the piss, I genuinely mean it. They hate being English anyway the pilfering cunts, everyones a winner, and I think Irish dole is worth more than wors.

Scott Booth went about the same time. who was the ex Celtic player who went to Monaco ? John Collins. Played against us for them in the UEFA, and revealed that he was a toon fan. From the borders his fatha was a life long fan and used to take him doon the A696 right through the 80s.

The winner in any country, in any season - James Perch. Absolutely nee way would he get in my 5 a side team, and you can ask smoggeordie or Besty if you don't believe me.

Scott Booth went about the same time.

Aye, he lacks charisma imo though, part of the reason I'm not sure if he'll ever manage a big club.

If he joined twitter, his tweets would be followed by "via web from High Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne". It's the biggest conspiracy of any toon related net matter ever, I'm putting forward here, but stranger things have happened.

It wasn't necessarily wrong to replace Robson. What was mad though was the manner and timing of it. He was treated unnecessarily shoddily, which overnight turned public opinion against the club. The transfer window had expired meaning the new manager was limited in what he could do. But worst of all, of course, he was sacked without a replacement being set up. Meaning we ended up in the ludicrous position of buying Souness out of a contract he was just about to be released from (i.e. sacked) anyway. These actions from the board were totally indefensible imo, and this is what triggered our decline, ultimately leading to the selling of the club to Ashley. I don't think Robson would have got us back into the top 4 though personally so a well-thought out change would have been vindicated, probably in the summer of the next year. I immediately knew Souness would be an unmitigated disaster for the club (and was mocked for my 'over-reaction') and I immediately said it would be the end of Bellamy so I reckon I deserve two points come to think of it. P.S: Disclaimer to Leazes: I'm not going to change my viewpoint on this and have heard yours on many occasions so please don't respond to this. Agree with all of that in bold good post, but....at the same time you have to concede Shepherd was an excellent chairman right up to that point. The NOTW crack was neither here nor there imo.

Agree re Everton top 10 for a club like them is success, and Moyes keeps doing it. Tottenham's overachievement again, deserves praise. Not off me like, but some cunt will praise them. Blackpool have done well, they've spent literally fuck all, I bet our wage bill even is five times their's, Man City's realistically 15 times bigger, and Holloway was right he thought it would be a miracle if they got 10 points, to have 35 is mental. I hope they stay up, beat Bolton and they will. QPR obviously, I thought they'd come up though. Swansea, when that Reading manager went there I thought well he fucked Reading up and Swansea aren't even as good as them, he's been tremendous, they just don't concede at home. I think they'll win the play offs. Rangers. Celtic are far better than them, play much better football, have added some good players, while Rangers had to sell their best player, yet are going to win the league.

Rob it's not fuckin Twitter. I've NEVER seen you write a few paragraphs.

People have been saying this for years on these boards NO here other boards, and I've been contradicting them. People said when we went 28000 would be the norm, I knew for a FACT, we wouldnt get less than 42000 on a regular basis. Our average turn oot of 44,000 is unparalleled in the modern era by any club on earth largely speaking, and to be honestly. I would say without question that is OUTSTANDING. A club nobheads class almost as big as us Leeds United get 20,000 less than that, and most of their support can remember them being English champions in 1992. Newcastle are phenomenon by any standards in any sport, in any country, in any walk of life. This season and I'm repeating myself we will average 48,000 people, that is OUTSTANDING, with a bastard owner who will sell when the price is right, who makes decisions so bad it appears his sole aim is to wind the supporters up, and still we fuckin turn out. You are saying for some unknown reason our attendances will go down? I can't understand the logic, we have 40,000 daft cunts like me who have said fuck you Ashley the toon are part of our lives we're not gonna stop going. That number won't go down. The club has been in decline for 7 years since we sacked Robson and replaced him with the biggest arsehole in world football. Shepherd made his mistakes, potentially could've rectified them, but the rug was taken from underneath him by that over celebrated arsehole Hall (and his son) while he was lying cabbaged in hospital with pneumonia. I don't agree that the club is in decline I think we hit rock bottom losing at Scunthorpe last season, and since then people like Kevin Nolan have helped drive the club slowly forward. We're stagnating in some regards but if you'd told me we'd have Ben Arfa here, and £35m in the bank from the sale of Carroll, 12 month ago, I'd have been questioning your sanity. Our attendances will go up next season and I'm prepared to bet £200 now on that. Big paragraph is another one. I told everyone we'd be getting well over 38-40,000 in the CCC when people were saying 25-30000. Another is the bolded bit at the bottom since confirmed by the clue season ticket sales are on course to easily smash this seasons levels.

About Leeds.

Dirty Boots, I apologise now for saying the club were probably expecting a Kevin Miles type and Kevin and Perry turn up, but imo all Simon is doing is towing the party line. Will be interesting to see what happens when you meet him in April. Proven on that very thread.

He's class, I've said it for 2 years, he could make it in the Premiership, he's got much more chance than Ranger anyway. Not a major issue but I'm convinced you deliberately spell names wrong for effect

That Japanese lass, I've seen 3D telly, am tellin you now even on 3D her face would look 2D. My prediction is that big nosed cunt will win, he's a fuckin total mug, the scouser will go far but lose out because he's a northerner, seems a remarkably good lad for a dipper, best candidate will be the Ulshterman though. The skinheed cockney is a wanker, bullying people already.

Such a brilliant feeling in life when you're desperate for someone to fuck off and they just do. Biggest example in football was when Barry Venison on ITV Sport.

Say oooo, ahhh, Paul McGrath Ginola was probably the biggest underachiever who ever played football in my view. Certainly the most talented player to play for either of them wanks. Dugarry was nowt special a failed target man at AC Milan, he was a good to decent striker, who was pretty shite at Birmingham.

Yep. Blackburn: Eyal Berkovic (loan) Kaba Diawara (loan, whilst we were in the 1st division) Niklas Guudmundsson George Donis (allegedly as good as Overmars) Tore Pedersen Per Pedersen (no relation) Oumar Konde Dario Marcolin Matty Holmes (our big signing after winning the league) Richard Witschge (loan, tried to buy him, but he thought he was too good for a league winning team) Egil Ostenstadt Jimmy Corbett (once heralded as the next Giggs, now a qualified Pharmicist) Djorkieff Johann Vogel Hakan Sukur Hakan Unsal Other teams: _____ Diomede (French bloke Houllier signed for Liverpool) Anthony Le Tallec (Liverpool) Andy Goram (Man Utd) Marcellino (sp? that Spanish defender you had) Eric Meijer (Liverpool) Bosko Balaban (Villa) Didn't Bolton have a Mexican striker called Borgotelli or something? Borgetti? Aye was decent on the international stage, dump for them though Mexican strikers end up with like 150 caps and 100 goals even if they're shit, cos of Concacaf. They play against country no one has ever heard with like Cool Runnings line ups putting spliffs out on the half way line. That's not THAT MUCH of an exaggeration neither. St Nevits and Kitts!??! ffs. Billy I mind that game Sukur scored two for yous at Fulham(LR) on Sky he looked some boy, he left after that though. Hernandez has scored against some decent teams France, Spain, Argentina. So fuck.

CT you said that my crack was we are NOT going to piss the Championship. I said we are NOT GUARANTEED to piss it (in the event of them selling everyone etc...) and that;s insuating I think we would anyway. As the summer wore on, I think I'm quoted as saying if we don't win it by 10 points I know nothing about football. I think it's quite possible that if we were relegated there would be more clubs bringing 3,000 plus here than in the Premiership, as it truly would be their Cup Final for many of them. I'm having that as one while we're on. Thanks CT

Aye I have as Jonny pointed out my finest hour didn't come when Leighton Baines signed for Everton. My worst ones involve England, same cycle ever 2-4 years, like now aye we're shite, shite, shite, worst England side ever. We'll beat some banana republic 8-0 in a friendly qualify out of a shit group and I'll be there with SGC hanging oot me pocket, Daily Mail under me arm proclaiming anyone who didn't believe we'd piss the World Cup is a daft cunt. Been like that all of my life with England I will NEVER learn. All of the above I did last year. I lose a lot of money on Eng cause I always get too geed up at WC time. I'll be the same next summer even, I'll be saying Jack Wilshere is a good lad, that is the level of the delusional trap I fall in to. I wish I didn't care less about England like but I do, get all excited seeing the cars with their flags, and everyone happy when we win.
