I think we will add the finishing touches giving us a solid squad to start next season with. I think everyone (who we want to stay) wil stay bar Ba. We will start next season even stronger and either win or just miss out on the title. We will have a strong lead by Christmas and Pardew will hopefully see us home. Marveaux will be orgasmic. Ferguson
will be our super sub. Mike Ashley will again swill lager in the local pubs. We wont do anything in the January window as we will be fine. 500 mg Prozac tabs on a GP's perscription in Boldon this week I reckon

Arsenal fans always seem quite confident that he'll replace Wenger....fuckin hope not...

L7 still don't sit down
The ones in the south east corner do, after a little "local dificulty" at the start of the season....

Fair enough - I haven't read all the bloggers. I just said it seemed to me to be fairly negative. Sorry if I misrepresented you. Reading my piece again, obviously it's way over the top in some ways but at least it got a reaction. I question your comment about "the sentiment of the fans" - if you're suggesting that's your view. Ashley might be about to deliver the best season for about 10 years - with hopefully more to come - what's the issue with sentiments? I'm quite happy. I suppose you mean things like the Sports Direct Arena etc - who on earth cares about that? It's St James Park as far as we're all concerned and always will be. In my time, the old Leazes End went and after about 50 years was re-built; the Popular side disappeared and we got the New East Stand; the old press box and paddocks went the same way and even the open-topped Gallowgate end was re-built. You could say it's not the same ground we (my generation of supporters. that is) went to in the early 1970s - not a brick of it remains. But it is the same. The Leazes End is still the Leazes End, the Gallowgate the Gallowgate and so on. It's still St James Park. What are the other issues with sentiments? Falling out with Keegan? Good thing. Not appointing Shearer. Very good thing. Sacking Hughton? Regrettable but a good thing. The only sentiment I'm bothered about is how I'll feel when we get into the Champions League, or the Europa League. And who cares if he runs the club like a corporation? You might argue that that's the only way to do it nowadays, sadly. Anyway, I'd be interested in your views!
Ashley isnt paying a penny for the err "re branding" of a football ground thats had the same name since Victorian times. It may mean fuck all to you old son but whats the fuckin point of doing it in return for nothing? Llambias greetin on about "maximising revenues" etc but misses that one off the list. Apart from that its been a great season

Does your boss generally get on with folk from a different ethnic background on a professional basis Stevie?...seeing as you're in recruitment if he doesnt then he's probably breaking the law.
Thats what the Doc means I think....I know loads who would say something like your boss did, but when it comes down to it they dont have a fundamental problem with folks of a different skin colour. Rightly or wrongly, thats the way a lot of folk are. Whether that actually makes them "prejudiced" as you highlighted is another question. For me though your boss is on rocky ground talking about folk like that in your game, privately or not.
Casual everyday racism or prejudice is pretty commonplace all over the UK iyam. Not sure if that means those who do are racist either. Tricky one, like Big Ron being a pioneer for black players in the 70s then saying that about Desailly. Two sides to it. Horrible, hateful thing to say, but the likes of Batson still regard him as a friend and mentor.

How the fuck can they afford new kits?
Playing v Berwick next season

Statues are for the dead iyam. Joe Harvey should have some sort of personal memorial at the ground. But this is a good bit of PR for the present owner and his mate, a 9 foot bronze statue wont come cheap...fair play to them.

Saw Rich Hall last night and he was brilliant....
"Boris Johnson looks like he shouldve been an extra in that Amish film "Witness"....he'd be the lazy fat one who didnt help build the barn, just ate all the cakes after..."

Ive always fancied visiting the Alhambra Palace in Cordoba...December might be a good time to do it as its unbearable aroind there in the summer.

Fuck off Terry

Aye, 5 officials and Cahill already off the pitch

As I say, Chelsea's names on the cup...

Serves Chelsea right, that fuckin great pantomime dame Drogba has made a career out of trying to get centre halves sent off.

That's fuckin told him CT
Would Chrissy boy be on here apoogising to us if we were in the bottom 3?

Is that you Chez?

I agree, he's ok but no Zico Martin tbh

Parker turned down champs lge football with Everton to come here because we paid him 70k a week. Maybe he's moved on a bit as a person now but that doesn't show him in the best light. And working for Souness and Roeder would hardly be inspiring. He couldn't play a ball like Cabayae did at the weekend though if his life depended on it. Not many others could either.
-
Correct Leazes, midfield players who are very good all rounders are a rarity in these FM literate times, but we've got Cabaye who can play sublime passes like he did on Saturday, and also kick the shit out of Bardsley in the derby last August. Truly the heir to Lee and Speed
-
Mancy, how come Scot Parker couldn't stop runners making Bramble and Boumsong look like pub team players when he was here?!
-
That Bridget bird who's an MP is on 5live as we speak on a select committee about drug abuse interviewing of all people Russell Brand. He's speaking quite well actually, comes across as quite smart.

Spent about 18 months all told working there, lived in Tottenham and Hackney, worked ironically just north of the now uber hip Hoxton/Shoreditch area. The thought of them being romotely desireable as places to live looking back at what they were like around 96/97 frankly makes me laugh. We used to go to a boozer sometimes (might have been called the eagle) in Shoreditch to watch a 40 something stripper with caesarian scars pass a tin around for pound coins after her err "act". This was undoubtedly the cultural highlight of the area. I hear its changed a bit now mind.

The only country that used to make anything of saints days was the US where immigrants used them as a tie to the "old country" eg St Pats day for the Irish and although not a saint, Columbus day for the Italians. Nowhere else did it, its a fuckin fallacy that Scots in any way celebrate St Andrews day and I doubt if many know when it us. Its Burns Night they go for, the Welsh have rugby in the south and in the north they celebrate their ancient culture every day by speaking their language that has survived and endured despite attempts to wipe it out by two of the most powerful empires the world has seen. In Ireland a day which rightly or wrongly was deeply religious has been hijacked by Guinness so the can flog more product. So don't feel too down about not being able to celebrate St Georges day, its a historical irrelevence anyway.

I think we'll lose Krul, Tiote and Ba.
We'll replace them, and one or two squad players will come in too.
Guthrie will leave too, but Simpson wont.
Champions League football wont change a lot, but Guthrie may stay for that....well, hed be fuckin stupid not to, put it that way.
