Never forgot his Geordie roots! Word to ya mutha

Sometimes I have to wonder how a major player in the history of this club gets zero respect when they die yet announce some no mark actor or musicians death and there's an outpouring of grief Very strange

RIP

Doesnt really leave much like

whey aye, how much would you like? [/sarcasm]

I dont see a major problem with what he said although he has to shoulder a good chunk of the blame. At the end of the day though the players we put out should have walked that game, Smith who had just been given a boost by Pardew should have played his skin off, he did anything but. If our players think that all they need do is turn up when playing a team 73 places below them should be made to do it more often, trouble is its at least another year before that chance will come again. We should be capable of putting out a team of third choice players and still hammer the likes of Stevenage. Every single player on that pitch yesterday should give a days pay to charity because nobody deserved to be paid for that.

Aye we're Europe bound

He hasnt even got a locker

I thought it was only an inch long?

Does no harm at all, look at George Best, Gazza, Frank Worthington, Peter Beagrie............

replacement for Carroll

so between this thread and the Gary Mason one have we actually established who, if anyone has croaked?

Wonder how that would have worked out? One of us topped the other two then turned the gun on themself? Should be an interesting suicide note like

has a dodgy heel apparently and is looking unlikely for tomorrow, we're now looking rather short on the striker front so Nile "Jigsaw" Ranger will probably get a start.

Im always up at about 4.45 each morning, spend an hour or so waking up on here and then off to workski

Feel free to highlight the ones I'm wrong on like

There's rumblings that Carroll will be out for at least 8 weeks and Taylor injured too.

Not sure about what they said....because whatever they come out with is bollocks 90% of the time anyway. But a young lad like Bassong bought for nothing and on one of the lowest wages at the club being sold for profit suggests they have no qualms about selling our best young players. It could hardly be included in clearing out the dead wood. He wanted to leave because we got relegated man, not because we wanted to sell our best young players. Unbelievable that people include the selling of players after a relegation as part of the criteria that we're a selling club. He didnt though, he wanted an increase in wages and asked for £25k, his argument was that people such as Butt, Smith etc were warming the bench on 5 times as much as he was while he was busting a gut for us. They werent willing to pay him what he was worth and cashed in.

ahhhh I see my next card is.............Xisco

via relegation. Inevitable, when Shepherd has littered the club with overpaid SHITE that we couldn't move on because they were too happy here on their astronomical wages, TBH Alan Smith.

via relegation.

Common sense at last. I would be interested if PP would link to these so called statements saying we were going to buy young future stars and then sell them when they come good. I can't recall it. Your selective memory is unlikely to tbf. I'll hunt them out but they refer to the purchasing criteria that Llambias drew up which clearly referred to future resale value.

That may be your perception however it doesnt fit in with the statements made previously by the club. As Ive said earlier you cant impose a tight wage cap and expect to hold onto players that other clubs are valuing at £20m. That is why we would sell him.
