http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle...79310-28573549/ I think we are too. Good to hear Barton is about to sign an extension and on a lower wage. Shows his commitment and love for the club iyam. Now get Enriques contract sorted. Big fucking wow! We've been hovering around midtable, admittedly as close to relegation as Europe for a while, we have some good players in our side and have the nucleus of a side which if strengthened could easily compete for a European place. The fact that Pardew comes in, states that no way is Carroll going and then sees him sold with no replacement, sees no strengthening in the squad and watches as we make full use of the points already banked as we potter on with a thin squad and a shit strike force says much about him and his job description. SBR had the bones of a decent side who finished 11th, kept them and got two players who made the difference and had us pushing on, he didn't sell his blue chip players and brag about staying up. Compare and contrast.

FFS!! Err, met SBR and had a bit craic, a class act. Mother used to go to school with George Best's sister. Had a surreal conversation with Pav days after he signed, smashing lad, genuinely over the moon to be at NUFC. A few others but I don't really bother any 'celebrities' if I see them.

So little Michael Owen was a bit put out that he got a heap of scorn poured down at him from the stands when he came on as a sub and seems a bit surprised? Apart from never wanting to be here, apart from being injured a lot, apart from only being bothered about Ingurland, apart from missing a load of glaring sitters which might have kept us up in the run in, apart from stating it was a 'shame Newcastle got relegated' a few weeks after the event, apart from getting his agent to put out a lovely glossy brochure for clubs to read about how good he is as we were awaiting our new fixture list to see when we'd go to Doncaster, Scunthorpe etc, apart from being the worst Captain I've ever seen at my club, (take a look at Kevin Nolan to see how a Captain should really go on), apart from being pound for pound the worst ever signing in our history, (and given the competition, that's no mean feat!) Apart from being a cold fish who just didn't 'get' NUFC or gel with the support.............Then yes, I'm a bit surprised as well. I'd love it, really love it, (to coin a phrase), if SAF told him he wasn't fit to be at MUFC even on a play-as-you-play deal and watch him squirm as no big club would touch him. I'd love to see him end up at Stoke listening to Tony Pulis give team talks with his baseball cap on.

I don't get the reference. Then lend him your ears and he'll sing you a song. And I'll try not to sing out of key. does it worry you to be alone? I suppose it depends how you feel at the end of the day?

Cracking post and how most of us feel. I'll give you another bloke apart from Fergie who would get his point across about what this club, this city means..........Kevin Keegan. Any reference to 'bottling', 'tactically naive' etc will be treat with the contempt it deserves.

Someone was ganna dee it!

The bairn looks like Alex McLeish. If you squint your eyes a bit, the lad looks like Lovelyhands and the lass looks like Jade from Big Brother. I have to say, you can't whack a nice bit of horizontal stripes on a jumper.

I'd probably stand up, (whilst shaking my head) and walk out on you.

That's how I feel, LM. We not only sold Gazza but sold Goddard and an improving Neil Mcdonald, we spent the money on their replacements and went from 8th the season we had them to 20th the following year with their replacements. The faith shown by some on here towards MA is staggering. To be fair, on here there is only a small amount of people who still have faith in Ashley, although it is borne out of their hatred for Shepherd as much as anything. On Newcastle Online, and on skunkers, they are rife, they are totally cringeworthy. There are loads, dumb fuckwits all of them. This is by far the best message board with the best posters and the people who see the club correctly now. Some people think Ashley is disliked because he is seen as a Cockney, some because he pissed off our 'Messiah', (Usually talksport type pundits), but if they saw the unrest and abuse which the likes of McKeag used to get for nothing like the shit this buffoon has put on our club then I'd say he's had a very comfortable ride, although his mate Dekka really doesn't like it when the FCBGOOOC chants used to be sang, (forget the grin he was seething.) Never been on N-O or Skunkers.

You have to smile at the Chronicle, like, you really do. Good old Ronnie Gill isn't known for his ability to dig to find a story, even if one is under Ronnies nose with a huge label wrapped around it saying 'I'm a story' on it. He'll be away as he's ambitious and knows we're a selling club. Thompson will have more clue he's going to Liverpool than Ronnie will even if its just Liverpools intentions to buy him, as a decent bid will see him sold because the club will 'reluctantly sell a player who doesn't want to be here'. He's away, but it won't be Mikes fault.

We have had zero ambition for years and all selling good players gets you is relegation fights. Even if you reinvest all the money on new players there's no guarantee the new ones will be as good, and lets be honest, who thinks all the money will be spent? We sold three of our better players in 1988 and spent the lot replacing them. We went from 8th to 20th in a season and were relegated. Everything that happens at NUFC is in Ashley's hands, players want to go to clubs to further their ambitions, MA has made NUFC an unattractive prospect for a player who wants to get on in his career. How many stories do the club have to peddle about not keeping unhappy players or smearing people like KK for people to realise that the regime in charge are absolutely and categorically, full of shit?

When I read that I can just imagine the kid from the Argos prank call phoning up Quinns secretary. "Hello, Is that Sunderland? Am ganna sue you, nar, not you personally, pet, am ganna sue your Gaffer".

Like what? Where you drink? Well some trampy bar down the coast way. I don't know them all. Well for starters, being the best poster on the internet ever. Where do I drink?, in the house, rarely go to a pub unless it's for a nosebag. Used to be a regular in The Ship, before I moved from Monkseaton to Byker Grove (alledgedly). I can imagine you being a Berkley Tavern man myself. Aye thats what I was on about Kabbaddi. All the crowd shout kabbaddi kabbaddi kabbaddi. Was on before Gazzetta on a Saturday morning. Seemed to be like sumo wrestling for skinny cunts. They used to like slapping their own thighs on that show. It was comical stuff.

Did anyone ever see that game from, (I think), India that channel 4 used to show? It was basically what I'd call 'tuggy' or 'tag'. Was quite funny and better than any of the mainstream US sports, especially American football which is dire. I've watched Gaelic football on Irish tv when I've spent time over there in the past and that was ok to watch if you're a bit bored.

The Sting with Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Robert Shaw. Hadn't seen it in a long time and saw it going for 99p so bought it and watched it a couple of nights ago, just forgot I watched the Unforgiven last night with Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, best Cowboy film for me, like.

Nolan for me. We all know his limitations but what a character to have, a very good finisher, (his goal against Wolves, never doubted he'd put it away unlike 'judge me on my goals/if I get chances I'll put them away' aka Owen), he also has a handy knack of thinking on his feet and improvising a la his 1st goal v the mackems and the goal he scored at the Stade de Shite. We needed his goals and he's delivered as well as being a good Captain.

To be fair, I think Fulham fans are being a bit ungrateful - Al Fayed gives them a statue for nowt, Chelsea had to pay £50m for theirs....... Aye just a bit, he's also loaned them £207 mill interest free. Well I was having a carry on about Torres, really, but Fulham fans have every right to be shaking their head about the statue in my opinion.

Nar mate you missed it, a twitter row I had with Danny Simpson, referring to Man Utd, as "United", he didn't take kindly to my comments, and it spiralled from there. Even the N-O rent boys got involved. I'm an OTL-er Stevie. (Oot the Loop). Did you call him a mug? And what did he call you? I did actually. He referred to Manchester United as "United" on his twitter an employee of Newcastle UNITED with 15000 toon fans reading his pish. I said it was disrespectful, he said I'll call them what I want, so I said fuck off to Manchester then. Next thing all of the young toon fans every where talking to me like they're muslims abusing Salman Rushdie. However, people with a clue and all the older lads almost to a man, completely shared my sentiments. Maybe you should have put a metaphorical arm round his shoulders and showed him the error of his ways and explained Geordie etiquette a bit more gently than calling him a 'Mug'. Saying that, once he knows he's doing something that pisses off the proper support he should 'pipe down' doing it.

Worse again when its a toon player calling them United. Looks like you missed all of the fun and games there. You are what I'd class as a proper toon fan, you'd agree with my stance, mugs don't. Alan Shearer says it. Cringeworthy. Honestly, I even find it hard to comprehend when a fan of a team with no 'United' in their name calls them simply 'United', let alone a Newcastle fan/player doing it. Surely they're just Man U to everyone with our club in their hearts? 'United' is almost a term of endearment and anyone, other than a fan of theirs, should have no business saying it.

Stevie on the wind up.
