  1. Belittling by comparing them to Take That just shows your prejudice though, and digging up all these articles doesn't really prove much. Of course the Beatles were influenced by previous bands but I would still state they took their genre further than anyone else.

     

    Happy Face, I take your point, not that I read magazine such as Q or care about their scores. But, out of interest, which bands (if any) do you think have been more influential in the development of British rock music than the Beatles?

     

    Weeelll....it could be argued that The Kinks "invented" heavy metal with their track "Girl I want to be with you (all of the time)"......the use of choppy guitar chords which are left hanging in the air...this hadn't really been done before, and that particular sound went on to influence the up and coming heavy blues gutarists of the West Midlands around that time (Tommy Iommi of Black Sabbath,Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple etc) and also ex public schoolboy Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) who collectively it could be said laid down the basic style for every heavy metal cock/poodle rocker thats ever donned a pair of spandex leggings :munch:

  2. They would actually play Mexico I think

     

    possibly...Costa Rica at the moment....Honduras top, but its very tight.

     

    The top 4 teams qualify for the FIFA World Cup™. The 5th placed team enters a home-and-away playoff with the 4th placed team from North,Central America & Caribbean.

  3. on the bench :baby:

     

    Argentina: Andujar; Zanetti, Dominguez, Otamendi, Heinze; Maxi, Mascherano, Veron, Datolo; Messi, Tevez. Subs: Carrizo, Papa,

    Gago, Milito, Schiavi, Coloccini, Aguero.

     

    Brazil: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Luisao, Andre Santos;

    Silva, Felipe Melo; Elano, Kaka; Robinho, Luis Fabiano. Subs:

    Victor, Dani Alves, Miranda, Lucas, Ramires, Julio Baptista,

    Adriano.

     

    Referee: Julian Oscar Ruiz Acosta (Colombia)

     

    Maxi,Veron,Heinze...no wonder the argies are struggling....Messi might miss out on a world cup finals....bit of the George Best scenario about this campaign for him...let down by poor team mates.....and a very poor choice of manager... :P

  4. 2 scoring passes/assists v Palace, the first for Nolan was worthy of any league in the world (obviously a good run by Nolan too) suggests he'll be effective at this level. And whats the point of moving when Maradonna has said he's not bothered what league him and Colo are playing in?....not forgetting his premier league wages etc..

  5. I remember Damien Duff saying something similar to this when we went down.

     

    Exactly.

     

    NUFC.com did a piece the other week showing all the quotes from players who went on to leave.

     

    They were along the lines of: "NO WAY AM I EVER LEAVING NEWCASTLE, MAN. THIS IS MY HOME. NO WAY, MAAAN, NO WAY."

     

    And, it's only my opinion, but I think Enrique is woeful.

     

    He was shocking in the Premier League and can barely cope at this level, though I will admit that he has had one or two flashes of competence this season.

     

    He just can't pass a ball or pick up a man.

     

    Sorry like but Enrique has been very good so far this season and rarely does anyone get past him - as well as the excellent cover he provides for his centre backs (like last night - were you there?)

     

    Apart from Leicester's right winger about 3 times in the first 10 mins last night....so much so that fuckin Geremi of all players had to be moved on to that flank to help Enrique out....he's done ok but is exposed by anyone with the barest hint of pace...has been from the moment he stepped foot in the club. He's not likely to be up agaisnt pace like that every week so he'll probably do ok.

     

    He's still the only left back at the club ;)

  6. Is that 7 for Chopra now? :razz:

     

    Yeah, still wouldn't take him back though.

    I would. In this division he's lethal.

     

    When did he sign permanently for Cardiff?...was it around the time Shearer handed Ashley his blueprint for this season?....you can be sure Chopra was on his list I reckon...

     

    Looking forward to going to Wales in a few weeks...one of the games of the season for me :lol:

  7. Gordon Strachan left celtic to try and get a side that could win the champions league so he is not going to come here, so out of those it has to be Hughton.

     

    I thought he left Celtic because despite having in many ways a better record than the likes of Martin O'Neil, he was never truly accepted by the support as being "one of them", and with Rangers winning the title last season it provided a convenient point at which to go. He strikes me as a realist, so I doubt he thought he was going to get a job at one of Europe's top sides, but who knows?.....deluded?

  8. "They came for Waddle and i said nothing ...

     

    They came for beardsley and i did nothing ...

     

    They came for Gazza and then i realised there was no one else left .."

     

    Well there was Kenny Wharton...

     

     

    This is a whole different ballgame.....Ashley didnt look at the books, crapped himself when he realised the state shep had left us in and has been basically floundering ever since. He's only interested in getting his money back, and if it means selling the tea lady and the ball boys then so be it. He doesnt want to plan for the future, he wants his cash and will leave us up a certain creek without a certain rowing implement when he finally gets enough to cover his costs/losses.

     

    Cunt

     

    :D

  9. 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.... :D

  10. 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 :icon_lol:

    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 :)

  12.  

    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.

     

    :icon_lol:

    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.

    Well done.

  14. 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.

     

    :blink:

  15. 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.

  16. 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 :mellow:

  17. 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 :lol:

     

    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.

  18. 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.
