My 5 seater settee only having one or two seats available as wifes/kids shite gets dumped on them and not chucked or kept somewhere else.

Try the Eldon/FM's or whatever it's called now next to the Monument. It used to be on in there. The Strawberry used to have it too. There was one or two others that I can't remember off hand.

Is that like the job Homer Simpson has? Much worse than Homer's plant. There's no doughnuts allowed. I once spent ten years working for S&N at the Tyne Brewery. That was a cracking job. No doughnuts Well I had Broon ale on tap for ten years as well as other beers/lagers so I can't do too much complaining!

I kind of suspected I was in the minority on here. I work in a Process plant, I'm a leading hand trying to run my line and get quite pissed off having to justify every bit of downtime this new and useless Plant has to Middle managers who are shiting themselves they're about to get sacked by a trouble-shooter who has been hired. I spend half my time in a control room inputting recipes and wondering if the raw material we need is actually there and half my time getting covered in powder by the constant leaks. I'm fairly pissed off at the minute as is everyone there. The place is Stress central.

Like I said, loyalty points are going to be a factor for some, and that's understandable. Not all will be dependent on them, though!

Is it a comfortable position? Her Predecessor thought so.......

I can't believe everyone playing ball with these fucking chancers, mind. Surely everyone understands that....They want that section broken up. They don't want the same people together being nasty and hurtful to our 'Benefactor'. I know the loyalty points is going to be a factor for some but if everyone just pays game by game I'm sure most could get tickets together and it would keep the bastard and his lickspittle, speccy twat of a mate having to not take a crowd for granted. You never know, he might end up giving out extra incentives to supporters. I'll be going to games next year depending on shifts and will move about till I'm happy with my new perch. I'd be fucked if I'd let someone in the ticket office (who works for the regime in charge and will have instructions to be followed), tell me where I'm going to stuck for the next few years. I'd have quite liked to have stayed put as on the odd ocassion I've been around the ground in the all seater era I've genuinely had to shake my head at some of the people who go to our games, (I'll not give them the name of 'supporters' as they don't deserve that title, and I'm not just talking about singing, I'm talking about shouting and balling, encouraging, getting on the back of other teams players, dodgy refs/linesmen etc, you know, actually giving a fuck, the kind of stuff supporters used to do). Once upon a time anyone with a season ticket was very much in the minority, there's no reason why you have to have one, there's no limited capacity with everyone eager to watch a team going for the title. There's no waiting list. There are now message boards, web-sites and plenty of ways to gauge where people fancy sitting for whatever game. Don't give these bastards in charge the satisfaction of tugging your forelock, putting your heed down and doing what they want you to do.

What do you all do for a living? This is my first attempt at a poll, if it doesn't work then these were my choices...... Work in an office? Work in a factory/plant? Clean windows? Work in health and care? Work from home? On the Nat King Cole? Go to College/University? Work in a restaurant? (fast food or otherwise) Anything else I haven't put?

indeed Bangor and Eminem if there were ever two things combined that would draw the biggest set of spastics you would ever see it would be that. Went to Bangor years ago with a load of relatives, we had something to eat in Bangor, at least half of us were spewing our rings up the next day.

Sell it and move on?

Or people just have a different opinion to you, myself included. You make it sound like it personally wronged you. As for adidas, Tom is spot on that they're capable of some controversial kits too. And they sponsor about half the clubs in this country now. It did! Actually it wronged the club and the history of the shirt, but if you've/they've shit taste then vive la difference.

To be honest, Heat, OK etc are there for celebs and their self promotion, any lass who buys them, well it's their money they're wasting........However........When stuff like this gets on the news then there really is a case to answer for 'dumbing down'. Ever drove home from work and on the hour heard the 'news' on the radio? It's like an advert on behalf of Simon fucking Cowell or get me out of the jungle.

If the extra year was optional then I wouldn't think that a problem, in my opinion. Beats paying someone who might not be as good.

Just seen 'At home with the Wonders' on the telly. What a tight woman Stevie's wife is. All she got him for his birthday was a cheese grater! Stevie was almost in tears as he described his present as the "Worst book I've ever read!"

I must have missed his first 3 years at £60K a week, whilst he was proving himself. He's been good for ONE season. And he stayed because of the bad reputation and high wages as nobody would pay out. Now he turns it around we're quibbling over a year? Fucking unbelievable.

So there's another greedy bastard player trying to screw our club, eh? Fuck me, there's been loads of these tossers since Dekka and Mike came on board. Thank Christ they're here fighting them at every corner otherwise we'd be well and truly fucked.

Reading between the lines with the rumours of this business, NUFC and Barton aren't too far apart regarding the money but Barton wants an extra year. Now when we waste money on year loans for players who aren't worth a light, perhaps we can take a chance with an extra year for a player already here and proven? Also, in the event of a sale that extra year would buoy up the transfer fee? Enjoy the relegation battle next year or the year after, folks. Pathetic.

Listening to the first ten minutes whilst the wife is watching it. It's giving me a good excuse to get off here and do a few jobs that need doing.

I couldn't believe the amount of people walking around with our new shirt on sunday. It was the first time I'd seen it properly and it's even worse close up. Honestly, it's fucking terrible and how people are so blase about the shirt that represents our club is also a bit disappointing, especially whilst looking at the WBA fans in their decent shirts.

I forgot to mention fires. Fucking hell, the amount of time we made fires which the very odd time got out of hand. And we were decent enough kids as well!

Was talking with my own daughters the other day and started reminiscing about when I was young. I lived in Walker as a kid and at the time there was a few houses getting renovated, we used run about these houses, jump out the windows onto old mattresses, play Japs and Commando's etc and then get chased off the 'Watchie' and his Alsatian dog which was great fun as long as you didn't get caught! Also remember going to the Rec and playing football all summer long and pretending to be Zico/Socrates etc before going in to watch the World Cup in Spain. I don't know if any younger posters on here will know this but there used to be a few glue sniffers about in them days and as a bairn their appearance was a sign to fuck off sharpish as they were practically walking Zombies monged out their boxes and the rumour was they'd grab a hold of you and force you to sniff their glue. The next day you'd see their dried up bags lying about. In the summer holidays on a boiling hot day what seemed like the entire street would walk along to old Shields Road enmasse and get the 301 bus to the coast, (the Metro was new and nobody used it), the place was packed, it was like the Costa del Sol. Going to Jesmond Dene and climbing on anything that could be climbed, I'm surprised nobody got killed. Getting a Juventus strip on a trip to Italy my Grandparents took me and my sis on as my parents couldn't afford it, coming back and my mates being awestruck at the strip as you couldn't really get them here at the time, I was tanned, kitted up in the Juve strip looking cool as fuck and was the toast of Walker! Apologies for the rambling!

Agreed. There can be no talk of solid foundation until at least Barton and Nolan have signed new deals. If they manage to get Jose to, then I'll be genuinely impressed. If all all three are NUFC players next year with one or two quality players added I'll be impressed too and will genuinely give the club credit where it's due. I'll not hold my breath.

Sorry, CT, but that's a load of shite! I'd put money on me 'supporting' my side more than you at a game. The fact that people may doubt the clubs intentions makes them no less supporters.
