Is that some kind of new age hippy therapy involving these?

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-u...72703-28233896/ Thats quite a long contract, but good news Yes, we'll be able to demand a lot more money for him when the 'big' clubs come a knocking. If Tiote carries on as he's doing on the pitch I'll show my arse in Fenwicks window if he's still here in three years, never mind six!

Just little phrases to be honest. "Getten ze Bapszuns out" (To any ample chested fraulien you may encounter) And from the 'Commando' books I read as a bairn; "Gott in Himmel!" "Achtung!" "Schnell!" "Hande Hoch!" "Feuer!" Apart from that, they usually switched to English which was handy for their average British reader.

Only caught the last ten minutes of Liverpool's game with Sparta Prague. 0-0 on aggregate and a full looking Anfield sounding like a morgue as extra time was looming, (apart from the Sparta fans who could be heard), Liverpool get a corner the crowd stir, commentator, "Anfield comes to life, listen to the crowd!" they score, have a little sing to celebrate the goal and its one of those great European Anfield nights!! I don't know who the commentator was but he must have been paid on a cliche piece work rate. Also Kenny Dalglish was hailed as some sort of tactical genius by Nevin at the end which was being a bit generous, (and I don't mind Daglish, by and large). And Stan Collymore () must have said something in the studio but I turned it off at that point.

Wigan and West Ham are by some distance the worst teams I've seen us play, (I'm going on the Wigan away game, here.) As Wolves are bottom and not high scoring I'll go with them too. Would love to see Villa get dragged in to it but it'll not happen.

I read my renewal form with great interest..........Then scrumpled it up and lobbed it in the bin. It was a good throw considering I've never played Basketball apart from on the bairns wii.

Danny B? A complete Bell Helmet forever on the wind up and not very good at it, either. What? He's never coming back? Top lad who always gave us an insight into a rival spectators point of view. Will be missed.

I'd love to see someone try and punt this on the Dragon's Den.

My mate was charged £80 for being drunk and disorderly. You should just get away with being charged for 'fraternising with the enemy', James.

All the best, Cat.

I've played football with his brother before and my Dad knows his Dad pretty well from their playing days too. He did go to Stockport and he went to a few other clubs after that. He had a reasonable career. I think he was at Wigan for a while when they were in the lower leagues. Stockport was the only one I could think of, I knew he'd been elsewhere. I've played against Steve Watson and Robbie Elliott when I was younger, played against Tony as well no doubt.

Steve 'Pat Butcher' Bruce Lee Clark There was a lad called Tony Dinning who didn't make it at NUFC but who played for Stockport (I think.) Thats about it, to be honest. (That I know of).

Niall Quinn Whining about his shit fans again
Howmanheyman replied to Happy Face's topic in Newcastle Forum
I could've told him then in 2007 that his comments were making him look a bigger fool than David Icke. The future for Sunderland should be rosier than ours due to the investment and commitment, but it won't be, because of the basic fabric of the club. They are not half the size of Newcastle United in support, stature, or local and national appeal. When you factor in it's a shithole it's ridiculous comparing the clubs even. The true difference in the clubs was shown in those figures last week - gate receipts Sunderland £12m (Prem) Newcastle £31m (CCC) it's a gobsmacking difference. If Sunderland fans had to pay proper prices they'd be even smaller - probably akin to say a Birmingham City. Fuckin' hell. Thats a beauty there. 95% of football clubs in Britain would jizz at the thought of having a fanbase the size of Sunderland's, when we were first promoted under Keane the economy was good and as a result we averaged around 44-45,000 that year. Which is fantastic support, especially for the shit our fans have been put through for the majority of the last half century. Quinn needs to realise that times are tough, and that fans feel more alienated from the game now than at any time in football history. Its alright for him to bang on about people not buying season cards but at the end of the day he's going back to his massive house with his 8 figure bank balance. For what you had to put up with prior to that season I wouldn't knock your support that much, a lot of so called big clubs wouldn't have got as many in similar circumstances, but, just to put the record straight, your average attendance was 31,887. You got 45,000 crowds at some point in that season and you also got twenty odd thousand crowds as well, hence the average gate being 31K. -
Pardew: "I'll spend wisely in the summer".
Howmanheyman replied to Christmas Tree 's topic in Newcastle Forum
Is it true he bought Carlton Cole for West Ham? If so perhaps he needs to avoid transfer buy bragging and maybe put his head down, gaze at his shoes and say nothing. I'll be highly pissed off if this club spends a penny on this lump. It's very easy to sell a good player for a lot of money and just as easy to waste the proceeds. We spent all the Gazza money on four players and still got relegated after finishing eighth the previous season. -
Sums it up nicely. Your fans were a fucking joke in the San Siro. At least as good as Milan, getting stuck in on the pitch and playing some canny stuff which lead to a great breakaway goal. Spurs fans? Singing 'oh when the spurs go marching in' very slowly and thats about it. Absolute fucking Cacka and I put you near the top category of fans in London as well, (thats being damned with faint praise, by the way). As someone who actually met and spoke with this A, Gentleman, and B, very good manager, I don't need a Spurs wind up cretin to prompt me to do or say anything. On the anniversary of his death I might well start or answer a thread commemorating it but I'm not a public grieving, hand wringing attention seeker so will make comment when appropriate. I'm sure Mrs Robson and her family will have marked the occasion in their own way. You really are a prize Bulls Knacker, Danny, the epitome of the stereotype Spurs fan.

That is so ripe for some made up subtitles a la Hitler. If only I wasn't a computer illiterate buffoon!!!

Thats about it, but I'll add that he has a very good knack of knowing where the goal is, not panicking and improvising, (see goal 1 v the mackems in the 5-1 ROUT, and the opener at the Stade de Shite). The wife who doesn't like football seen him in the tunnel on a match I recorded and he was rabbiting away with the mascot, patting him on the head and looked genuinely interested in the kid, the wife commented on it and said what a nice gesture etc. Yes he's blowing a bit of smoke up our arses but so what? How many ex-players who aren't from here, don't live up here yet will praise our support to the hilt are they? I'd say quite a few and Nolan will no doubt join their ranks. We all know his limitations but his passing is good, his finishing is good and his leadership qualities are excellent. I agree he'll do a great job as a manager one day but will be probably as a man manager at a club like Bolton where he'll get the players playing for him.

I make that three SAFC chairmen who have had gripes with their support, (Cowie actually wishing their support was as good as NUFC's when we were in a lower division at the time). -
Inconsiderate Bastards who don't indicate at busy roundabouts. You all know the score, there's a gap with one car in it but tough shit, he's going straight on, you can't move, but at the last second he turns without indicating, leaving you stuck there as the other traffic have caught up. An indicator being put on and you were away. I FUCKING HATE THESE BASTARDS WHO DO THIS!!!! Grrrrrrr.

Wife: "Who's that Detective your mam sometimes watches? American with black hair?" Me: "Haven't a clue" Wife: "Hang on, I'm sure he's called 'commando', pretty sure, like" Me: "Never heard of it" Wife: "no, definitely 'commando', I'm certain" I get a hunch so go on youtube and say, "Is this 'Commando', here?" Wife: " Aye! Thats him!" Lieutenant Commando

My pal at work buys the Star, Thats the only front page she gets on now. I'm sure The Star has money invested in this woman because that is the only reason I can explain their daily Jordan headlines? I was thinking that the other day when some magazine was raving about the 'new look' Kerry. She seems to have lost a few pounds but gained ten years!!

I've enjoyed this season but will not renew. My seat is not my seat anymore and I really don't fancy sitting elsewhere and taking it quietly.

What will you do when they move your seat?
Howmanheyman replied to peasepud's topic in Newcastle Forum
Exactly! Anyone would think Enrique and Tiote will be sold and we'll only spend about £15M out of the £50M plus we recieve for Carroll, Tiote and Jose. -
Dine at home, Battle Hill, Wallsend. Honestly, mate, very good and I know a few others who swear by them if they fancy an Indian. It's not the closest for me but it is the best around the East end and North Tyneside that I've had.

I suppose these 'top businessmen' are used to getting little titles and awards to themselves. You can't tell me backs aren't scratched by half of these contributers to political parties when the Knighthoods get handed out. Hall-Money-Tory-Knighthood.
