For what its worth I think this is good man management, there is obviously stuff going on with range either on the training ground or his lifestyle that the club aren't overly impressed with, senior figures have spoken to him and with little impact by the looks of it, so by coming out in the press and putting it into the public domain it maybe the kick in the ass he needs

That's the problem with streams Danny, you can't see fuck all (although apparently the audio is good)

where did you get that stat from? It's a known fact. People from Berwick to the Tyne are statistically on average 1 and a half inches taller than the rest of the country, due to the Viking influence. Smallest are Scousers, I read a thesis on it, because I've always been interested in why we're better specimens than the rest of the country. Next time you go to the NW, look at how many dwarfs there are compared to here, look at the physical features of their faces and it's years of interbreeding going back before the time of Cromwell. So does that mean that Berwick and Newcastle are on the fringe of this gene pool of excellence? so someone who came from Alnwick, like me, is smack bang in the middle of beautiful country? alright!!!

Foul? fuck off man, hes going down before he's even touched him this brings us back to tiotes sending off, is ferguson in full control with both legs off the ground?

greatest name in the world to be fair, I'm off to get my name changed

with all my health issues, I get weighed all the sodding time at the hospital 183cm 87.3Kg yesterday morning

I did smell a rat when i read that keys had apologised but Gray hadn't - i've been sat here praying all day he would get the boot

Get in you fucking BEAUTY I hate that c**t

I'm curious, where do you see your goals coming from for the rest of the season? its not as if any of your other strikers have been prolific (I'm not taking the piss, I'm just curious)

Typical mackem arrogance. Have you seen your next 7 games? I cant see where the goals are going to come from, stoke/everton are both winnable (even if they are away) but city, arsenal, chelsea and spurs are going to be tough for them

Some really good ones on here and i love the toontastic banner - this effort from Puds I think, is very clever - top work sir

Shame, Kane and The Undertaker would make a fucking amazing pairing at the back. touch on the slow side and I'm sure the refs would frown on a suplex from the crossbar

Are you daft? all the above aside, with our small squad, our lack of quality as it is, without a guaranteed cemented replacement coming in, would you let a player who can start at times bugger off on loan? no, no you wouldn't, and if that's the way to "run a club" we are well and truly fucked if barton,caroll and enrique pick up injuries. This is why Ashley is a cunt, Pardew is a dogsbody, edit > i literally can't fathom how you can call yourself a newcastle fan, But for two late goals we would be 4 points off a champions league spot. but we DID concede 2 late goals. Make the most of this season, because he will not build on a decent first season up, and that will mean downwards again here we come. Yet he built on promotion with Ben Arfa and Tiote? What inside info do you have Leazes that says he wont continue this investment? and perch, and a few freebies.......you get what you pay for in this game CT. How many times does this need to be said, if buying proven quality players is not the way to get success, you better have a word with every successful club there has ever been. You are bound to find one or two successes, that goes without saying, but more of them fall by the wayside and eventually your good players sense that they are playing for a team going nowhere. He won't spend the money to make the club a force, but it depends on what your ambition is for the club and how good you think it should be what your views are on that. My mate said yesterday we have a decent first 11 and he is right, but most teams have a decent first 11, and most teams don't get to play their first 11 so having players injured and suspended is no excuse, you have to cater for this, its a squad game and you need 15 or 16 players. My ambition is a realistic steady recovery from what has been a disasterous few years at the club. I consider 7th in the league so far, in our first season back, a good start. I consider not selling our best players a good start. I consider tying down talent on decent contracts a good start. I consider getting people in place to find new talent a good start. I even consider replacing a manager who you dont think cuts it, a good start. And I consider that we have a team capable of playing exciting attacking football, a good start. I am very happy for this steady recovery to continue where as you only want a big cheque book and a gamble on success. Loads of clubs have thrown millions around and are in a much worse position than us. How much did o'neill waste at Villa, Bruce at Sunderland? To be honest, Im proud of our club. We have our dignity back and are on the March again. Viva la resistance. how much has Alex Ferguson "wasted" ? Btw look at the league table, the mackems are above us, and will finish above us. I think Martin O'Neill is overrated and always have done. Nobody saying spending guarantees success, but taking a shot at a goal doesn't guarantee you score either. I'm talking about the long term implications of existing on a shoestring and not investing in footballers that the other top clubs want. It means you will never challenge them. Survival in the top league may be good enough for you but this is the 3rd biggest and best supported club in the country, with the potential to be 2nd. You should be aiming to capitalise on that. You have a point, although every manager including ferguson has dropped a few bollocks in their time, still I like the idea of scouring europe/the world (if you believe the club) looking for young talent, securing them on long term deals for peanuts and then develop them, having said that, I get the impression our facilities aren't as good as some of the bigger clubs which is a shame I do still firmly believe that we should be buying proven players (I dont mean spending 25 million on a single player) we should be looking at the problem positions and then going out and improving on the person in that position (its not hard to buy better than anyone at right back, smith or any of the strikers)

Personally i think discounting games is bollocks, you can't pick and choose which games you want, to prove a point, you could say that the late goals conceded are down to Houghtons lack of fitness building within the team and the players blowing out their asses after 75 mins Pardews tally after 8 games was W3, D2, L3 I'm just abit "Meh" about Pardew atm (Probably because i loved Chris) I'm waiting to see what the end of season brings and how he acts in this transfer window

Yeah, we were also one of the worst teams in the league, whereas this time we're not. aye but early Jan we weren't For the record I don't think we will get relegated, but people need to remember that stuff can and will happen, as I said at the start of the season, when the dust settles, I'll take 17th, anything above that is a bonus

How many points did we have the season we got relegated at this point? if i remember correctly we had done ok, however we lost our form, that lasted for the rest of the season, hence we got relegated

It's obviously in a Diner-style place. For Nazi skins Lovely with a bit of kosher dip Nazi Skins, with any filling of your choice. Now available oven baked. Gas Mark??

Coins were being chucked from kick off from both sides. I presumed right then That Bramble chant was a bit shit mind. So's Bramble to be fair

He's what 28? easily got 3 seasons in him and is playing really well, and from the looks of it, is enjoying his football get him tied down lads

to be honest stevo the name seems to sum it up

if he lasted 70 mins in a closed door friendly, then there is not a hope in hell he will be fit for sunday

swap Williamson for Taylor and fergie for Jonas and you have your team 1 - 2
