That is my optimistic view, you dont want to hear my pessimistic/realistic one We're at our lowest ebb in almost 2 decades, and we're still better off than the Mackems who were supposed to push on to the next level this year. We'll always be able to laugh at Sunderland. Agree with that like. Appointing a caretaker as permanent manager after a handful of games when you've supposedly had 30+ applications is comedy gold, hats off to them Tell me that post was a piss take? Deadly serious I was just thinking with us appointing Roeder that was all. Although he was obviously in charge for a bit longer than that extra from The Godfather. A lot longer, with very good results and without many alleged other candidates Not according to the chairman at the time. Much like what Quinn said. He was right when he said "you wouldnt believe the people that have applied", yup we didnt believe him.

We will have to do the things you say GT, not because its the right thing to do but because as we stand currently this football club will not attract players of Owens calibre. We have to now admit we are a Fulham, a Hull, a Wigan, in other words one of the teams there to make up the numbers while the rest fight out for the Europe spots. By the end of next season we will no longer be the top dogs in the North East, on every front we will have been surpassed by the makems and Smogs

Cheers lads

You know something I dont think anyone is as big a tosser on the internet as you and that includes the WUMs we have and the fat kid that thinks hes in Star Wars.

Just to back up the 1st one: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north-east-...72703-21827251/

cool, you're already making excuses for it when it happens. Its not going to be that hard for Man City and Arsenal however if the papers are to be believed. Funnily enough I'm going off what has happened here and at other clubs in previous January windows, perhaps I should scrap that thought and follow you in believing what is written in the Daily Mirror rumour page. Yet you're happy to believe what is said by Ashley and co even though every statement has been contradicted half a dozen times? You still havent answered my question earlier (strangely you often seem to be happy to duck such things). Are you willing to take a bet on related to the profit/loss of the club come Feb 5?

I read it differently, as someone else put it, taking it off the market means nothing. If I had a car for sale and couldnt seem to sell it no matter how many adverts I had in Autotrader then Id stop advertising it. If however someone came along and offered me the right money for it then Id sell. All I believe MA has done is stop throwing money Keith Harris's way. If he really was committed to the club in the way he says he is then I think he would have made a clear statement that money would be available in the transfer market, to me he did the opposite by stating it would continue to be ran as it had been. He said money was available a few weeks back. Did he? ahhh yes that was at the same time he said the club was up for sale. Now its not, is the money available? Im willing to bet a tenner donated to the SBR appeal for every million overspend we have at 5pm Feb 2nd, you confident enough?

Yeah no bother, Im sure that in this business he will be different to how hes ran all of his other businesses, Im sure that his personal fortune dropping ridiculously and his heavy gambling losses will make him release funds. Im also sure that black is white and Baggio is not a wanker. Nice to see NUSC lose their last bit of credibility by claiming Ashley only decided to announce he's staying to spoil Sir Bobby day btw, Peasepud. If yesterday was the best NUSC could come up with then good luck with getting people to renew their membership. Do we have a case rested smilie? please feel free to show me anywhere that the NUSC have claimed that though. It was read out on Sky Sports, plenty of people on N-O who heard it and have been talking about it. I know you don't like going in that thread on there because you can't handle any sort of criticism direct NUSC's way but perhaps you should. It was read out? as an official statement of the NUSC? because the official statement to SSN was via our spokesman Michael Ord who was interviewed at 9am yesterday live. He clearly did not say that Ashley had only said it to scupper SBR day. And I know this for a fact. Anyone who would believe that a football club owner would decide not to sell a club he had for sale because he wanted to piss on someones chips would be a total fool. If you arsed yourself to read up on half the stuff that you claim to know about you'd find that you were talking shite as usual. And I can and have taken criticism of the NUSC, as has been proven by the numerous posts Ive made in that thread, the fact that I choose to spend my time somewhere else promoting the NUSC is a simple fact of life. Ive given up on N-O being somewhere thats worthwhile promoting it as a number of people there are determined to see it fail. No problem, theres a hundred other places it can be promoted and its better to spend my time on those. Plus they have a resident member on there so I'll let him talk to them. As much as you want this to fail, the proof is in the pudding, regardless of the fact its been going less than 4 months and that it charges a membership fee, this is the Newcastle supporters group with the highest number of members (a number that the FSF see as quite remarkable considering the short amount of time its been going), This is the group that the media (including SSN) are coming to first for comment and this is the ONLY group (that I know of) that actively canvasses the members views on subjects and that you can trust those results from. Yes that canvassing has only recently started but the fact that it has, and will be regularly is testament enough. So you've given up on one of the largest Newcastle forums because they don't all agree with your daft countdown clock. Priceless. EDIT - Tom is over on N-O at the moment talking about it. what a tosser you really are, you havent however answered my initial question. Like I said, Ive given up but Tom hasnt, N-O is the board hes happier on (and the one I and many others would prefer you to be on as well), here and other places is where I am happiest promoting stuff.

I think there's plenty of songs new and old and plenty of people singing them. Just that none of those people are in the Gallowgate, East Stand or posh seats. Beye, Butt, Martins, Ameobi, Jonas etc. all have their own songs. I've seen it said on here how "Liverpool slums", "Sign on" and that are cringeworthy too. What are we, running the NME now? Personally I think any song people will join in with is a good song and I'll join in too. Well Im in the NE corner, near enough to hear the Ultras when theyre in good voice and all I can honestly say Ive heard sang is renditions of "toon toon", "Newcastle, newcastle, newcastle.....", "Oba Oba fey" and "stand up if you love the toon" oh and the odd "Habib Beye Beye". If there are new songs doing the rounds then we as fans arent doing enough to get them promoted and known by the majority of fans, Thats not a criticism of the Singing section, its critical of us all, we live in the most technological age ever where it would be possible to write a new song in the morning and have half the crowd knowing it by kick off yet we dont do anything of the sort. How come back in the 70s all the fans knew all the words to all the songs going yet now 3 quarters of the ground dont even know they exist? Maybe if all message boards, websites and fanzines had a concerted effort to get these things sorted then we'd stand a chance, it must happen elsewhere as like I say, the likes of Liverpool have new songs every week or so.

that would be a rinky dink good signing.

Why do many continue to post about that we will sign duds for peanuts? I am no Ashley fanboy but why are you so sure he will invest nowt and that it will be shite players? Colo, Guti, Bassong and Guthrie (for the money paid for him) have all been good signings so far. Admittedly Xisco and Speedy were panic buys (though I would still give Xisco a chance as he came with a semi-decent reputation). If Ashley etc bring in players that are of the same standard as Bassong, Colo and Guti I couldnt care if it cost them 2 million or 20 million tbh.. Because that is the Mike Ashley business model, he buys a business, sells off all its good assets then replaces them with average, cheap goods which he then sells on at a profit later on. I dont necessarily think they will buy duds but what I do believe they will not do is buy proven world class players at the top of their game. Everything has a price tag in the Ashley world, everything and that price is not necessarily set at the "fuck me you'd be an idiot not to sell at such a profit level". A profit is a profit to MA. He will try and squeeze as much out of each player as possible. Buy them in cheap, offer low wages (meaning we attract less quality), build up their profile and sell on for 2 or 3 million profit, repeat until fade..... For one I dont think we could afford them nor would they want to come. Owen aside, and even he is debatable as it wasn't as if clubs were lining up to sign him, when was the last time we signed a proven world class player? Shearer? All this talk of asset stripping, who have we got rid of to make a quick buck other than the media reports? Yes we sold Milner, but at 12 million who wouldn't? Yes a mistake was made in letting him go and not bringing in a replacement but how do we know that the intention was not to bring someone in but the end of the transfer window scuppered that. If we are going to be taken in by whats reported who is to say that Robinho not going to Chelsea affected the supposed move by us for Malouda? So far I have seen Faye and Rozenhal shipped out and replaced by Colo and Bassong who as of late have looked an impressive partnership and Guti replace Milner, again an upgrade in my opinion. You could argue we have not replaced the likes of Emre but did he ever need replacing? The proof will be in what he does in January as to how serious he intends to take the club forward but I don't for one minute to expect him to spend silly money. And so it shall, if however we sell Given, Taylor, Owen, N'Zog then thats 4 replacements required on top of the strengthening we already desperately needed. My moneys on us at best breaking even, sell those and use the money to buy maybe 6 or 7 lesser players. Thats not progress its asset stripping at its ugliest. If two of those players turn out to be Xisco'esque ie disappear without a trace then we are no better off than we are now. I dont expect the big money signings or silly wages, thats not running a club properly within its means but I do expect actual investment on top of selling players we DONT need.

Doesnt even appear to exist if you listen to JFK.

http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastl...61634-22564573/ Again, I ask you Joe what about Xisco? Is he even still at the club? does he ever have a part to play?

http://www.newcastlebanter.co.uk/2008/12/w...ss-mr-newc.html MR Newcastle????? Fuck off Farrington you tool, no doubt you'll soon be taking his place as the most reviled "Newcastle" journalist going.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_4716027,00.html Now then Joe, I thought you'd held these talks just a few weeks ago and were promised 15million?

In any normal situation Id be saying "bye bye Taylor" however he is clearly better than any of the cheap dross we are likely to replace him with therefore Id rather he stayed.

All, Im compiling the list of SBR comments made and about 40-50% of them mention the fact that they are Liverpool fans, it appears that as many LFC fans as Newcastle have posted in his honour. These are going to the Chronicle and SBR soon so if you havent posted something (and want to) could you post it urgently even just to make the numbers up. http://www.nusc.org.uk/sbr_messages.php

Notice however that as soon as people give him stick for the shit he posts then he disappears for days. Tosser tbh
