McFaul

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.

Leighton Baines? Thinking we'd lose after being 4-0 down against Arsenal?

Talksport interviewing. She's a manc, and seems like she wears iron gstrings to me seems hard as fuck, nee good that. She's from your manor Stockport, dump Glitter's ex and get yourself away. When are we ever gonna get a proper geordie on The Apprentice anyway. That mackem last year was passing himself off as geordie. Something else I got right, I said Laura wouldn't win the last Apprentice, and I also said she'd end up shagging that fat doilum from the Isle of Man, and she did.

And that Souness would be great. In fact eliminate Gemmill ffs. ?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!!? That shouldn't be a points deduction, or a ban, or an IP ban, it should Virgin Media or Sky cutting his fuckin connection. Was Gemmill a heavier drinker in those days?

How many do I lose for my crack about Geremi being one of the best signings in years?

Not convinced by any of this like. Strikes me that anyone who takes the scatter gun approach could win by trying to predict everything possible. For instance, Parky could get a point for both saying we have never been to the moon and also we have beeen to Jupiter with the help of aliens. We need some kind of negative marking system - if adopted I suspect the board leaders would get a net of zero just like me. Well I'd be exempt. Alan Pardew ffs. The name at the forefront of every geordie mind in October ffs

Stevie man I bet he retweets it. Scousers are receptive to northern patter. I hate admitting this but Gary Neville is actually quite a funny kid.

Leicester playing Real Madrid pre-season. Why can't we play big teams pre season nee more. We gave Bayern, Juve and Barca good games in the SBR days. We'll probably get Lech Poznan here, and stick them in The Grainger Hotel on the West Road knowing our tight arse regime.

How on earth could you forget Ravenelli was a Smog? Scored a hat trick on his debut vs Liverpool IIRC. The ones to forget would be Mikkel Beck and Hamilton Ricard. He did, and missed a sitter in the cup final. He(and Mendieta) just fitted in with Boksic and Branco who I had forgotten completely about. Just totally out of place there. See the bloke in your pic at the bottom that's BrancO not Branca. Marco Branca was a suave Italian not a fat Brazilian. Helder - I loved Helder me thought he would've been a great signing he made noises about staying when he was here, but then was like "fuck that" when he left. Scored against the mackems too.

Broke the adidas dumping us, PUMA taking over 15 month before it happened. Yes go on someone do it B...... go on get it out your system.

Said we'd finish 12th as well. That one still in play. Said we'd finish 11th Sunderland 9th - I think that could well be it as well sadly. Got the top 4 right as well.

Toon connected things I was right about: We'd piss the Championship - we did We wouldn't concede against Man Utd - we didn't We'd win against the Mackems by 4 clear goals or more - we did Broke the news weeks before the event that Pardew was taking over from Hughton Peasepud has had a lot right as well.

Straight up? Actually 14,000,000 odds that. You must have the same gift as me.

Branca was class for them goal a game iirc and got injured and that was it. They also had BrancO who played for Brazil for years.
