There are some great underground drinking places
To steer this back on track, any ones in particular you recommend?
Last time I had a big night out there was when Souness manager we drew nowts each with Everton on a Sunday...our mates cousin showed us around town after the game and took us into a pub in an old church...I think it was called "casa de cuba" at the time but it may have had a name change so am told....its the only building I've ever been in where there was almost no electric lighting...it was almost entirely lit by candles and was a stunning place for a few beers. Got to be one of the most unique boozers in the country iyam. There was dozens of wag-ish birds queued up outside waiting to get in but the cousin used to work the doors himself and we waltzted pass the lot of them. Wish I could tell you where it was but all I can say is it was in the town centre about a 10 minute walk through a shoppping area from Mulligans Irish bar and Yates.
Apart from that...what a fuckin shithole, half the suburbs on the way into town were/are boarded up awaiting demolition.The Kensington area sticks in the mind from the season we were relegated; row upon row of housing just boarded up, this around the time they were "city of culture"...fuck knows what the 20 gazillion yanks and japs made of it. We fuckied off to Chester afterwards, which is another option for you.

Aye they're good reads, the 1991 game was me first away game remember it like it was yesterday, most mental celebration ever when we equalised, something like 50 people were taken out by St John's Ambulance it was that mental. See 1991, it hadn't changed at all from the early 80s so I had a good glimpse about what it was all about.
Today it's sterile as fuck, I'm just grateful I so what it was like before the death knell of the all seater stadium, I know with younguns it's through no fault of their own and I feel sorry for people who started going to games after 1993, because you can't even compare the experience sadly.
After the match, a nervous teenage Tyneside driver, would send a belligerent Mackem over the top of his bonnet as he drove through the lights at the junction as Mags and Mackems got down to it as the bark of Police dogs provided the soundtrack.That happened half a dozen cars in front of us...the car directly in front of us had 4 lads in it, a couple (stupidly?) wearing colours and when we were sat at the lights a team of half a dozen mackems appeared and the biggest thrust his torso inside the open window and tried to haul the driver out through the fuckin thing...his muckers were eyeing us (two!...no colours mind) suspiciously when the polis turned up and chased them off. It was after this incident that I realised the colour of adrennaline is brown
We didn't have tickets either, the mackems doing the "tenner at the turnstile" gig must've made an absoloute fortune that day, it was rammed more solid than I'd ever known the Gallowgate, which had been under crowd limits for some time around then iirc.
Don't know if this was the one where one of our lot was on the pitch before kick off, pretending to smash an imaginary ball into the net?...that may ahve even been at SJP now I come to think of it...anyone else remember that?

Class is easy to define if you take for example observing a fox in your garden......if you call your children over to take a look at a wild mammal at close quarters, take picures of it and send them into Blue Peter then you're middle class....if you go outside and beat the fucker to death with a shovel then make soup out of it then you're working class
Read Fankie Boyles book over xmas

Class is pretty much an irrelevent term nowadays, its more accurate to describe most people earning say 25k+ as middle income if you ask me. I'm in that bracket as are most of the people I know but they are all mostly from very ordinary backgrounds. Like my mate who let slip in our very low-rent local Labour Club whilst sat playing 3 card brag and drinking Carlsberg that him and his missus had joined a fuckin wine club, the poncey fuckin twat
Is he a doctor, lawyer or accountant?....no, he installs stair lifts for a living. But his wifes sister married a very middle class bloke who along with his posho mates all went to public school and in one case enjoys and actually fuckin plays hockey rather than football and who asked when we were watching a game on tv once how long a football game lasts for

Ranger done himself no favours since he has been on.
To be fair in most of his sub appearances this season, he's done alright, just hasn't got the goals when chances have come his way.
Maybe he got too excited, I don't know, but that miss has put a slight downer on my night. He won't get an easier chance and a goal then would have helped him push on and impose himself in the squad. I reckon it's one of those chances that he'd tuck away 9 times out of 10.
If he's missing that chance 10% of the time he's no good
Shame though-would have liked to see dutty of the mark
Fuck sakes man Best was a pub league player according to nearly all on here since he signed. A bit of faith is shown in him tonight and he delivers. Am not saying he's now the new Ronaldinho by any means, but surely this shows it can turn around very quickly? Too many knee jerkers on here like. If Shola and Carroll are out for the rest of the month or so then Ranger's going nowhere as he'll be needed, good bad or indifferent.
Well done Pardew. Hasnt done a lot wrong since he came here, and wins against the teams we had a decent chance of beating on paper used to be uefa cup form. Not so sure it is now this season, but very encouraging all he same. With the team that Chris Hughton built obviously

Anyone see the classless twats on Barrack Road "putting it up to" blokes with kids and some teenage girls?...a little mob of our lot appeared,swung a punch or two then ran off...different in my day Ill tell ya...
Never seen that, thought they were quite muted for they're standards.
They came out singing "Newcastle's a shithole, I wanna go home"...which is would be funny if the chavvy twats could understand irony. All from behind a line of police horses underneath the Leazes
It sort of spilled out into the road, took ages to get by. Think they said on the radio that the coaches didnt leave till gone 6, which suggests it might have gone on a bit after I got past them.
Where were you young man when the good name of your home town was being besmirched?....in the fuckin Percy by any chance?

what are the roads like? i'm setting off in a couple of hours. has there been any snow over night or forecast to come today? i don't trust the bbc weather website a tad
At the weekend the met office website said yesterday was the best day to travel...but it turns out the whole of central England was cut off by snow all morning...fuckin useless. I'm travelling up tomorrow. No snow forecast, if you can beleive the fuckers
-
Regardless how much snow comes down it won't be worse than Chelsea, it'll be on am tellin ye. I think we'll win as well, we should have down there, they have good players, but I'm confident we can win, they've not really impressed me once this season. I bet the worlds greatest support bring less than 2,000 too. Mugs. They still get praised too, they're a myth, no better than the blue dippers.
Have you seen how quickly you can get 4 inches of snow lying this year? There wasnt any snow on Sunday morning and thats why the game Chelsea game was played, the pitch was cleared the day before...if theres a significant fall on the morning of the match theres no chance of it going ahead. They only played in the snow at Ipswich the other day because the dog botherer glared at that monumental clown Stuart Attwell who promptly crapped his pants...the youngest ref in the league was bullied into by the biggest bully there is.
-
Theres a lot of snow forecast for boxing day.....if theres a large dump the night before or in the hours before kick off it'll be off....no time and more likely no labour to clear the pitch, which is what basically happened at Brum.
That's a dead cert after the missus has dished up christmas dinner.
I've no doubt at all we'll beat them on sunday. They'll not fancy a cold miserable day on Tyneside.
Didnt see them play Everton the other night but thats what they were insinuating on 5live. Didnt fancy it. When the likes of Jonas come out the tunnel in short sleeves like against Chelsea it tells you we've a fair chance. We were the better team at their place as well.
My advice is lay off the sprouts

PSV in 1988 was the last answer for the 'trebles' question by the way.
Fascinating to look at the stats for domestic doubles too. There were five in England between 1869 & 1993 and then six between 1994 & 2010. Just goes to show how much stronger the biggest, richest clubs are becoming compared to the rest.
Didn't Fergie say its because of better pitches?....the best sides are able to play at their best on the almost uniformly great surfaces in the premier league.
But I think you're more accurate
Which British footballer scored a goal at his home ground for the away team and it wasn't an own goal?
I'm thinking somebody at Inter or AC or another ground share team.
Becks?
Ian Rush probably too.
Ince?
Palace v Wimbledon it would've happened every game too, and Palace v Charlton, West Ham v Charlton etc... Gillingham v Brighton
I'd imagine all the ground share answers are correct.....my boy is Kenny Dalglish....anyone know why?

I hope Pardew doesn't get him more money. It sends a bad signal out to the rest of the team.
If his contract is running out and hes keen to sign a new one, of course he'll get a pay rise.
Is he insinuating that Hughton didnt want him at the club?
-
Sounds like Mckay wants Barton to move....it'll have been him planting that story on sky yesterday. Bartons probably cool with the situation too. I'd like to know who'd pay a 29 year old injury and suspension prone nutter 60k a week....apart from us like

Agreed. The collaborating bastards were so eager to please the Hun none of their wonderful city was bombed during WW2 so large parts of it are old,quaint and utterly fabulous.
Old Rotterdam was destroyed in about half an hour by the Luftwaffe and is now a concrete shithole. But they did call a general strike in support of the Jews.
Strange lot, the cloggies...

According to an Italian journo on 5live earlier he was promised money for new players in the summer...the money wasnt forthcoming for January either and he found out via an interview Moratti gave to the press....so he goes and wins the world club championship at the weekend and thinks he's now in a posistion of strength to start shouting the odds about getting new players in....wrong again Rafa!
