Can stick John Anderson in the same bracket for me My abiding memory of Fereday was over him falling over all the time. One of the lads who sat near us suggested he had running spikes in instead of studs. In theory he probably wasn't too far from the truth! Is it honestly right he was still at the club in 1992? I find that hard to believe (or was it some sort of coaching staff role by then?) Tom? His testimonial was April 92 iirc, I remember the toon fans singing Waddle Waddle sign for us, because it was rumoured us and Sheff Wed were in for him as he was leaving Marseille, and further to that, Anderson had a really bad injury and never played again, and didn't play that night, but was still on our books, I'm pretty sure till the end of that season. Can still remember the programme "ANDO" on the front, no cunt ever called him Ando. "Ando" was copyright of Thomson House.

One of the lads who sat near us suggested he had running spikes in instead of studs. In theory he probably wasn't too far from the truth! Agree about Ando. Funny thing though, back then I noticed we either loved a player or hated him, was reading that 'Black & white daft' book the other day by Mick Edmundson which is a great read for anyone who used to go to the games pre-1992. Someone was commenting on a player, can't remember off the top of my head who it was, getting down the wing at Oakwell then putting a cross straight into the thousands of Mags down there and getting loads of stick. John Anderson then did the same five minutes later and it was, "ooooh! unlucky Johhny, son!"

I remember a football league centenery game (or something daft like that), v Wimbledon, he got a boot in the face by Fashanu or another 7ft neanderthal who ran about for them, (can't say 'played'), he stooped down to get a header in, took the boot to the head, stopped for a few seconds, rubbed his head, then ran after the ball to make a tackle. Thats all we could ask for in those days.

I never minded Sweeney actually. Not that he was any good or owt (which he wasn't), but he was always committed. Stimson and Fereday on the other hand actually made me believe that 95% of the adult male population could get a game as a professional footballer. Paul Sweeney = Fiery Scot (Ginger, slow, scottish and shit). Mark Stimson = Jason Donovan (the real Donovan would have tackled harder). Kenny Sansom = A fat cockney bastard who didn't give a fuck about NUFC, was just here for his last signing on fee. Lee Payne = came from non-league but just wasn't really up to it. Frank Pingel = came from Scandinavia and just wasn't up to the job. Rob McDonald = The Ronny Gill kept saying he was a sprinter for Edinburgh athletics or something like that when we signed him. (Some evil team-mate obviously put lead in his boots whilst at NUFC as he was slow and shit, did score a good header at Hillsborough one game I was at, to be fair). Fereday = Made his debut at Filbert street, it was pissing down all day, we drew 2-2 and Wayne had a good game, I turned around to my mate and said the immortal words, "Fucking hell! we've signed a good player here, mind!" I don't think we ever played better football under KK than the season when Sellars played wide-left before Ginola arrived. He was a quality footballer and combined really well with Beresford. Beresford was a tad underestimated himself, was very good in his first few seasons anyhow, went downhill fairly quickly IIRC though. Speaking of which, I'll tell you who was underrated - Robbie Elliott, in his first spell here. KK preferred Bez though as he was better going forward and had more pace. Elliott was pretty good going forward himself mind. Injury prone though. Elliott was underrated but don't think Bez was, well not by me, anyway. Davey Mac was one of my heroes as a kid, his attitude was class, certainly don't think he was underrated by most Mags. By the way, how many of those shit players were signed by Jim Smith? Puts to bed his fucking credentials the moaning twat he was!

no. you're a mackem. Erm yes. I am a mackem. Sat here in front of my laptop in a Newcastle shirt. seems odd of you to appear in this topic after being here a year and only posting 7 times Im on here most days. i just don't post a lot. You don't need to be a frequent poster to be a Newcastle fan. You have a link to my Facebook in your inbox,it has pictures of me at St.James Park & in Newcastle shirts. Are you insane? you've let Kevin have a look at your facebook? Have you read many of his posts? I'm sure he's a canny enough kid in reality but he's got the brain of a dung-beetle on here, mind.

Aye, you're probably a Mag.

no. you're a mackem. Erm yes. I am a mackem. Sat here in front of my laptop in a Newcastle shirt. Even if you were a Mackem, you'd probably know 90% more about NUFC than Kevin. Here's two questions to see who you really follow; Who is the Sunderland manager? Is it; A: Steve Martin B: Steve Bruce C: Stevie off this MB Who was the NUFC Physio in 1903-04 season?

Yeah good one lads....the copyright for a piece of local news footage from the best part of 30 years ago? Do you fear incurring the wrath of the huge corporate behemoth of broadcasting that is TyneTees? Theres a nice little drop down too: All seems a bit of an overreaction to me.....where do they stand on the hanging debate?...for all posters using the forum whilst not dressed in the latest first team strip? (including "premier league badges on shirt") I very seldom post on there anyway, and as a first offence it's hardly up there with pegging the host's missus....are they all a bit touchy or is it a just a bad time for them at the moment? Fucking hell! Never been on it, never will either if that's the way they go on.

Ayresome Park Make your way to Newcastle Central Station, there you will find a 'football special' train service arranged to take you the thirty odd miles south to Thornaby station, just outside of the 'Boro', once at Thornaby station you will be met by some helpful local men from a group known as the 'Cleveland Police force', here they will meet and greet you with a late 'Champagne breakfast', (this is because the game will be at a twelve noon). After introducing themselves and their cute pets, (lovely Alsatians), and inquiring if you had a pleasant trip, they will then arrange for you to be transported from the station to Ayresome park by a fleet of local buses, they will then take you on a small tour of Teeside where you will be in no rush to get to the stadium, you may find the Chemical plant of particular interest, on approaching Ayresome park, you will drive through a housing estate, don't miss the opportunity to wave at the families gathered at their windows waving and smiling at you, you can't miss them, Mams, dads and young infants in vests and knickers standing on the windowsill's with smiling, happy faces. On arrival at Ayresome Park, you will be helpfully escorted from your bus by the lovely 'Cleveland police' and their cute little puppies, at the turnstile, you will be admitted into the ground by an elderly local employee of Middlesbrough FC who has been thoroughly trained to NVQ level on how to efficiently get as many people into a ground as fast and safely as is possible, he will obviously wish you all the best for the game and may the best team win. Once inside the stadium, you will be chaperoned by more of the lovely police and puppies and they will keep an eye on you to make sure you're ok and everything is to your comfort, at the end of the game they will let you have a twenty minute rest, before escorting you back to your bus which will then again take you through the estate, be sure to remember to wave goodbye to the families wishing you a fond farewell, when you arrive at Thornaby Station you will then have punch at the station whilst you await your carriage back to civilization Newcastle.

Mine does chicken and they taste fine. Leazes, it depends on the size but they're dead handy. Try doing a cheese and onion toastie with a bit of tabasco sauce on it. Ferkin lush!

A PM would be appreciated.

RIP Jackie.

Especially this bit. Got his name bang on too Thing is I really want it to be the 'tache bloke's banner now. Tell you what mind, speaking of 'taches, howman's ava is proper sobering stuff. I know that pic from back in the day (I think it's an away match against Ipswich to be precise..) and theres four taches on it. For all the world they could pass for Liverpool fans if they had different tops on. You're spot on, MM, I think there was national football gallery thing and that pic was on with some comment along the lines of 'Some rum Newcastle Utd fans enjoying an away day at Ipswich in the 2nd division'. Loved it when I saw it and got it saved. They could all pass for extra's off a Sid the Sexist cartoon, all that's missing is the can of red stripe in their hands and it could be the Bigg Market circa 1990. The bloke with the black eye just rounds it off for me, not sobering, funny as fuck. Getting back to the tache man who may, or not, be called Malcolm, I was looking to put something on to take the piss out of that transfer obsessed scouser who was around yesterday, but then I saw the comedy geniuses of Villa Park and forgot all about the scouser. Jasper Carrot, Lenny Henry, Stan Collymore and Malcolm the tache......... is there no end to the Brummie comedy conveyor belt?

. This not exciting news but wife beater (Marlon King) on his way to Coventry City. I'm not happy about this and I don't think the coventry fans will be. I may join the coventry forum to voice my concerns over this. If any Coventry fans are happy about this they will feel the full force of a scouser. Missing you already!

Even Kevin has come out and basically said that this last day transfer window news is a load of SKY shite and quite boring. I don't know why you're getting all worked up about it.

Just spotted this, the Scousers at Villa Park must have been devastated to see the famous Brummie humour aimed in their direction instead of us getting it. I reckon it was the bloke in the tache who made the banners; Tache's wife: "oi! Why aren't yow coming to bed, malcolm? Yow better not be wanking over the adult channel freeview!" Tache: "Now, sweetheart, Oim myking anutha funnoi banner, this time it's about the scousers, they'll be fucking devastoited when they see it, just loike the Barcodes, were, ha ha!"

:icon_lol: Proud they're on Sky Sports News because no fucka else is really doing anything interesting. I couldn't give a fuck what media attention we receive sometimes I wish they'd fuck off the media to be honest. Sunderland however take pride in two minute snippets about them throughout the day cos nothing else interesting is happening. There can't be a more small time attitude of any club given their fanbase in football today. That Mackem poster is letting a few of his trade secrets out without realising it, I fear.

Mickey Mouser I work with reckons that's the rumour like. so does SSN. Is it just me or is sky desperately trying to big up deadline day? ffs its not that interesting, there is no interesting signings. SKY have been bigging things up from 1992, Kevin, when you were pissing and shitting yourself, gurgling to yourself, trying to bring your wind up and crying for your milk. Were you wanking when you wrote that? True dat Tom. No Kevin, I wasn't wanking, I was just trying to explain that SKY have been doing this since you were born. Surprised you've just started to notice to be honest.
