I enjoy Stevie's OTT assessments of other clubs - most of the times he has more than a grain of truth.
This might sound a bit "local board for local people" ish but I don't see why we should have to temper our opinions based on upsetting casual readers from other clubs - if they can't take it then fuck them.
Exactly, and you get people saying "people like Stevie have made us a national joke". I would counter that by saying people like Paddock Lad, have made us in to a meek, jesters hat wearing, SKY generated support of total new age mugs. Who gives a fuck what people nationally think about us, we never used to care before the SKY razmataz attracted people like him. What I put about Sheffield Wednesday is what I believe, next time I'll be more sensitive to the feelings of our opponents seeing as though a bit of banter it unnecessary? Tossers.
There hasn't been many Paddocks to inhabit at SJP since the Sky takeover of English football Stevie....3/10 must try harder old son
There was two Paddocks until 2000, were you not aware of that? In fact that game against Arsenal in May 2000, the East Stand Paddock was still there, they set the Milburn paddock as it is now in 1996 irc.
With regards to the obsession of not upsetting opposition fans, you see you're at one end of the spectrum, being embarrassed by me, and I'm at the other being embarassed by people like you. There's not enough rivalry in football, and it's been eaten away over the last 15 years, but it comes to something when you can't write something negative about a club without being criticised by your own fans.
Well its a public forum, if you don't want stick there are a couple options...
You can say what you like about me but for someone as belligerent as yourself you do seem strangely sensitive when someone has a different point of view. I'm not emabrrased by you in the slightest either, its a free country. But when its on here we all have the right to reply.
And Macain want a word with you...they want all their chips back

Sadly Stevie, it's threads like yours which feed the belief that we're arrogant and out of touch. You've made us all look like a bunch of twats, hope you're fucking proud.
Have a word with yourself man for fuck sake. 32 going on 62 you like.
The bit highlighted makes you come across as if you're 12, but tragically I fear you're much older
Craig's right, its the likes of you that have made the rest of us a national joke, never mind the antics of Ashley & co.
Well done.
The likes of me kept this club going, when people used the excuse of a boycot to stay away in the early 90s, and history is repeating itself again, I'm still there are you? You patronising cunt. Paddock Lad. Says it all.
Think we're gonna need a bigger boat for you Stevie
And I'm not getting into a "I'm a bigger fan than you" contest with anyone, least of all your good self....
Adrian Durham was trying to get calls from Newcastle fans this afternoon on talkshite using the 37k crowd as a wind up..."Newcastle fans pack SJP every week don't they?...where've they all gone?"
Where do you think he gets ammo like this from? Whether you accept its the case or are bothered by it in any way, you can be sure its from the likes of you.
Fair enough, you're a proud man,but can you not just accept that our crowds have gone up and down over the years in proportion to how we're actually performing on the pitch, and in that respect we're much the same as any other club really?...the difference is we've got a slightly bigger hardcore than most at the heart of the club, and thats about it.

He's going to appoint Kinnear on Monday and tell him to get some loanees in to replace those who have left/will leave...its already started with the lad from manu.
Southampton and Norwich tried this last season and are now both in whatever the fuck they're calling the division 3 nowadays.
If we are still in the fizzy pop league next season it will be an acheivement.
-
Apparently there was nearly a fight at tonights meeting...handbags and posturing really, but tempers were frayed by the different views being held by the comittee and many members present about protesting against Ashley..the comittee favour a "say nowt" approach,with a view to their long term goal of a seat on the board and a lot of the members want some real action against Ashley.
I got this second hand so am willing to be corrected by anyone who was actually there.
Whatever happened it looks like Ashleys got us all squabbling among ourselves due to the fuckin abysmal running of the football club. My mate says NUSC/T looks to him to be pretty much dead in the water tonight.
-
Yes, cos although most of us are obsessive Newcastle fans ( hence being on here), most are normal fans who don't quite live and breathe it like us.
They are the ones who enjoyed the football break and have only noticed the odd rare takeover related story. They haven't hoped a thousand hopes then died a thousand deaths with every in the know rumour or mackem wind up.
Yes, the majority will go on Saturday, enjoy a pint, enjoy a pie, watch the game and not take much notice of the directors box.
Finger on the pulse or obsessed? ( he says lying in bed typing on a football forum on his iPhone).
Thats my mate...all this season means to him is looking forward to getting pissed in Cardiff,Swansea,Plymouth and Blackpool....he takes an interest in whats going on, but was a bit put out when I told him that half the players who played ok v WBA won't be here when we go to Cardiff...nowt wrong with his attitude to be honest, he'd watch Newcastle if they ended up playing in a sunday morning pub league

Fatty has a short while before he pulls up the drawbridge that was the Sale of the club/end of yet another transfer window...personally , i think Krul , Taylor (S), Jonas will be gone. Fatty will allow a couple of Spurs Yooth in on loan ( next to no wages) and we will have been hoodwinked again. Question is - how many more times will the fat prick pull the same trick before 25, 000 thick Geordies wake up and keep their money in their pockets?
And be accused accused of being fickle by the massed ranks of journos slavering at the next chance to give us a kicking? The thing is its them who first gave us this bullshit "best fans in the world" tag in the 90s and now all they want to do is annihilate those among us who beleived the hype and repeat it on demand for sky or talkshite. They want it both ways the double dealing cunts and am just waiting for the usual suspects to get their pre-written "crowds are down at sjp..they're all twats!" pieces out sometime in late August.And needless to say some among us can't live without watching overpaid morons in shorts run around once or twice a week for the good of our spiritual health
I think Ashley is trying to push those desperate to leave into a corner so they get desperate and slap a transfer request in so he doesn't have to pay their contracts up......so expect nothing until the last week in August when most of the big earners will leave and we'll get a couple of bairns from spurs and fuck all else.
Southampton tried to do it this way last season and they're now in whatever the fuck divi 3 is called nowadays.

I'm seriously starting to think his agenda is to upset the fans as much as humanly possible.
Ive been thinking that for a while. Ever since the whole "Cockney Mafia" thing Ive thought of him thinking "fuck you then". Any hint of us wanting or not wanting something and he'll do the opposite.
I don't think he has it in for us at all. I think he's come in without any checking and has been completely caught out by our debt. This debt has made him try to be as frugal as possible in an attempt to recoup some cash but relegation has just been the cherry on the cake in knocking him/his finances/or debt for six. The reason no-one is eager to buy us is the debt, plain and simple. Shearer = too expensive, which is the reason he wont get appointed by LardAsh (if he pulls the For Sale sign down).
Thats pretty much what I think and I reckon the Halls saw Ashley and the credit crunch coming. The banks have stopped lending so even if the Halls and Shep had sat tight on their shares in 2007 we may well be going tits up financially in 2009 anyway.....the club was largely financed on borrowed money,of which the Halls and Shep syphoned off large amounts. Ashley was the only man to buy the club out of fuck knows many who have looked at the books in the past 3 or 4 years becuase he didnt look at the books and shat himself when he realised the state of things left by the previous owners.

get on a liverpool forum and get some tips for holding protests/marches.
those cunts do it for anything they can think of
but they don't get a complete fuckin kicking in the media for doing so like some other clubs I could mention....
nowt wrong with expressing your opinion in a vocal manner like
or are you actually from Cuba?

not very well i shouldnt think
they havent bought anyone, have they? if they sell lescott they will be left short at the back for the first few months of the season.
strange question
really?....heres another one....did you lot enjoy singing "cheer up Kevin Keegan" at the cup final this year?
-
I would rather have Hughton than O'Leary.
Wouldnt work with the players who may still be here after Aug 31st.......he commands little respect at the moment I imagine so giving him a years contract won't make much difference. And if any new players come in and see the players at the club not really giving a fuck what he says then they'll behave in the same manner. He's a number 2 in my book.
O'Leary is Kinnear with a run in the champions league the best part of a decade ago under his belt. Better than nowt but no by much.
Can you see anyone fucking about under Gordon Strachan though?.......
-
Another yes man who will feel they owe Ashley something for him giving them a job....the cunts so transparent its unbeleiveable.
-
No one wants to buy a club for 100mill that could be worth less than half that in a years time.....thats what you get for naming your asking price in the national media...for a gambler I'd say Ashley would be a fuckin joke at the poker table.
Still think he's pushing those who want to leave into a corner so they slap transfer requests in and he doesnt have to pay up their contracts.
Stand by for a repeat of last season,only without the draw at manu.
Cunt.

Just reading Des Lynams. Theres not a page goes by where he doesnt tell us about a fit lass he fucked or how any tv show he did turned shit after he left, or was shit cos they didnt ask him to be in it in the first place. What a fucking tard!
Also Micky Quinns, wasnt impressed at how he glossed over the fact he let his kids go without so he could gamble on the horses. He tells it like its some sort of amusing anecdote
He seems to gloss over that he was an absent father, only concerned with booze,betting and other women, but obviously it doesn't state that his bairns went without because of this. Or you may have another source for this? (tabloid kiss and tell?) What did they go without? their old man being around almost certainly, but anything else?...
Its been a while since I read it but iirc he talked about how in the days before superstar wages he spent every last penny on the horses whilst his missus was struggling to pay the bills or put food on the table
I've re-read it recenty and it doesn't say that his bairns or his missus went without, although I suppose it's an easy thing to dedeuce from the lifestyle of a compulsive gambler. He did once clear his bank account after training one morning,then flew down to Heathrow and caught a cab to Epsom races where he met Mick Channon, who was trainer of the first horse that Quinny owned. Mick put the whole lot on the nose and it lost by "the shortest of short heads" and he bitterly regretted not doing it each way. He had to borrow 20 quid to get a cab back to Heathrow from a friendly Geordie he met at the races as he put everything he had on the horse. Christ knows how he explained that to his missus

I'm pretty sure they were singing "There's only one Bobby Robson" at one point. Seemed to get a polite round of applause.
They were indeed...I heard it clearly on test match special driving home from work on Friday...Jonathan Agnew wondered why the crowd were applauding. I'm sure he was concetrating on what was happening on the pitch and it's usually a pretty stupid thing to pigeonhole people but I did think "what a stupid thing to say you middle class fuckin prick"

Some lines from Sir Bob's autobiogrphy "Farewell but Not Goodbye"
On some of the players he's managed ( and discovered by himself in some cases):
Strikers-boy I've seen some good ones. Think of Shearer at his best,Romario at his best, Ronaldo at his best,van Nistlerooy,Gary Lineker,Paul Mariner at Ipswich-just don't ask me to pick my all time number one.To this list ,as he says himself in the book you can add the early development of Luis Figo at Sporting Lisbon and his immense regard for his skipper at Barcelaona,their present coach Josep Guardiola.Whilst Genaral Manager at Barcelona he told his replacement as coach Louis van Gaal to forget about signing Steve Macmanaman as Sir Bob felt he didn't scored enough goals and he should instead sign Rivaldo from Olimpiacos. He also gave the likes of Peter Beardsley,Stuart Pearce,Paul Gascoigne,Chris Waddle and John Barnes their first England caps.
It's also interesting to note that he felt that Kevin Beattie at Ipswich Town was the finest English player he'd seen since the great Duncan Edwards of "Busby Babes" fame...and Sir Bob would know, having played in the same England team as Edwards. It is truly incredible the length of time Sir Bob's career in Football spanned, about a third of the period of time that professional football has existed in this country.
On his appointment as Newcastle United manager in 1999:
I had always been a Newcastle supporter.It was my club.My dad,my brother Ron and I were first in the queue at the ground for home games. When, as Newcastle manager,I looked across the banks of faces at St James' Park, I saw my dad.Every fan out there was my dad.All the time I'd been abroad-throughout all my time in football, in fact-there was only one result I looked for"How have Newcastle got on?" I would ask at teatime on every Saturday of my Life"In his first match in charge at St James' Park we played Sheffield Wednesday:
Let me start by saying that Newcastle scored their biggest win since Len Shackleton hit six on his debut in a 13-0 win over Newport County back in 1946.I saw that game-it seems incerdible, but I did.I was there with my father. I would have been thirteen years of age. Now here I was presiding over an 8-0 win,in which Alan Shearer, the Jackie Milburn or Hughie Gallacher of his generation, scored five"In the final lines of the book,Sir Bob describes his being granted the Freedom of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne on the 2nd of March 2002, an honour he says that makes him feel even prouder than his well deserved knighthood the same year:
In the days that followed,a number of councillors wrote to me to say they had never seen so much emotion in a ceremony of that kind.Perhaps it was because I talked about my father,and how he went down the pit white and came up black in an area where those two colours symbolise a city's love of football, a love that burns within me and will never fadeRIP Sir Bob.

Real mediocrity and worse now awaits, until we find another board who want success like the last one did.
You're almost certainly right in saying that, but for me it's the wrong reason.
Because of the 2007 credit crunch and the subsequent world recession (which was the precise point the club was sold to Ashley) the level of debt and player wages we've been carrying for the last few years means we would've almost certainly seen a financial meltdown at the club whether the Halls (did they see the shit approaching the fan and get out sharpish?...I'd say yes, and subsequently forced the ill at the time Shepherds hand when Ashley came calling) and Shepherd had sold the club or not. All our relative success over the Shepherd years was acheived entirely on borrowed money, as Ashley, fool that he is, has subsequently discovered.
I don't know if you'd rather suffer the ignomy of the club going tits up (if no buyer comes in thats where we're heading, Barclays will pull the plug on the overdraft currently financing the running of the club before you can say "Spanish brothel") for the sake of the few games in the champions league and a couple of FA cup final appearances, but that is what you seem to be suggesting? Correct me if i'm wrong in this assumption, but again with the benefit of hindsight, there may have been another way to build the club up after KK's first period as manager.
I've enjoyed the last 18 years as much as anyone, never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd see us play in the San Siro or the Nou Camp, but the price of that ticket may well be very high indeed.
Ashley has been an utter disaster for the club but for me it may well have happened anyway.The likes of Villa,Spurs,Everton and even bloody Fulham seem to be riding out the financial crisis in a pretty astute manner, but we've crashed and burned. Don't know if this is because we're just a sympton of all that is wrong in modern top level football or Shepherd really is the bullshitting buffoon he comes across as. I suppose time will tell.

Is anyone honestly surprised? I thought hed go when Smith was made captain for the WBA game......and as mentioned don't expect him to be the last one.....whoever is manager will get a load of loanees in and blood last years reserve team, exactly what Norwich and Southampton did last season...and look where they are now.
The argies and spaniards are bound to go, leaving Smith,Nolan,Barton,Geremi and R Taylor.....we may keep Smith and R Taylor..Geremi at a push....
