Who would you consider the best player is for West Ham? Can't answer your questions as I haven't watched enough of you as the PL generally bores the tits off me. I only watch NUFC as it's been hardwired into me for nearly forty years. What do you think West Hams strengths and weaknesses are? Karen Brady and the dildo brothers piss me off quite a bit, especially Brady. They're a weakness. A strength? I don't know, I've never minded West Ham so there must be something there although the ground move has took something away. How do you think Newcastle will get on for the rest of this season? We'll be shit, poor to watch and it'll be a slow car crash whether we go down as our three best offensive players are all injured so where will the goals come from? The manager is the biggest worry even when they're back. What player for Newcastle should opposing teams watch out for? Nobody at present. Are you happy with the return of Andy Carroll? No, especially his contract getting renewed another year. A desperate move by a club who hate signing players. How gutted were you when the recent takeover fell through? Gutted we've still got Ashley, absolutely gutted. I can't put across how poisonous the last 15 years have been and how much he's sucked the life out of the club. I didn't like the idea of who was going to buy us one iota and it wouldn't have sat well at all. What has been Newcastles biggest struggle this season? The holy trinity of Ashley, Charnley and Bruce. Does Steve Bruce deserve the criticism he receives from fans? My first game was in 1983, he's very much a contender for the worst full time manager we've ever had in my time of following us. We all knew what was coming but he's been even worse. I didn't expect the petulance and the massive pet lip. Out of his depth a decade ago never mind now. Do you think you will stay up this season? It depends how long Wilson, Almiron and ASM are out for and whether the duck egg helps them break down by rushing them back. What are your score predictions for Newcastle v West Ham? Always fancy us against you but we'll need those players back, even then it's 50/50 at best. Without them there's no chance of anything unless you're total shit on the day and can't be arsed.

I'm genuinely wondering if he ever read the diaries? They were in TF so there's a fair chance. Is this a subtle piss take from himself or am I giving him too much credit?

He never wrote that, surely?

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, wor kid.

For such awkward, tight bastards they love to spunk up the wedge on total shit but baulk at paying a bit extra for genuine quality.

Here he is!

Fannying about on Google earth and I noticed the tight bastards haven't renamed Johnson's parking space.

Geoff Shreeves: "So after just two wins in twenty games, do you still think you'll have enough to stay up, Steve?" Duck-egg: "Well, you know, I'll be delighted if we do but we'll just dust ourselves down yet again seeing as that fat cockney bastard is my boss and his sports shops are full of cheap shit." GS: " What? Errr....are you saying...." Duck-egg: "Hang on a minute, Geoff, just got to answer this....hello? Steve Bruce.....oh hello Lee..... what?..... Mike's been on the phone?..... I'm sacked? How's the pay off did you say?.....no bother....tell Mike no hard feelings....and thanks, thanks very much. It's been a pleasure. Ok.... I'll clear it out in the morning. Bye.....Bye.....(hangs up)......(mutters).... Jesus, thought he'd never take the fucking hint."

Just been talking about a bloke who did that in my old street. (No it wasn't me!)

I watched ours and that was more than enough.

Imagine us watching it then having the rest of the day ahead after it?

Luke giving the punters what they need.

I read that last line in the style of scooby doo.

Staggering performance by a few of them today. Staggeringly bad. Any sort of quality at all and we'd have comfortably beaten these today but when the dross you're left with can't square a fucking ball twice in the first ten mins or just take a shot on v the keeper then what can you do? Tyldsley's comments on us being shit and it not being unexpected was funny as fuck, mind. Yes, Clive, nobody thinks it's unexpected, that's been our point for quite some considerable time you massive fucking duck egg.

There's no pubs in Daisy Hill but apart from that....good post.

Takeover talk gets brought up by NUFC whenever they need a distraction. They can fuck off.

I've a good couple years before I hit that target.

If someone would be daft enough to pay me and I could jack my job and shifts in.....it would be a pleasure. 👍

Well I'm booked in along with the missus in a couple of weeks time. Letter from North Tyneside council says I'm eligible, text today with the link to book from my doctor's telling me I'm eligible and to book but the actual website telling me I'm not unless I tick a wrong box which I have. Will have to wait and see if I get turned away?

I'm laughing but FUCK YOU London!

That'll boil a few of the right people's piss which is a bonus.

Understood the club he served and realised it's potential, was a good footballing defender in an era where this wasn't necessarily a plus with everyone, his shuffle was loved by the crowd, was a good captain, a good care taker manager and decent manager showing up Souness for what he was. The players who were around and did good jobs when you were a bairn and teenager and you have a love of the game tend to be favourites and Glenn and the likes of Wharton, Anderson, Davey Mac, Peter Jackson etc will always be heroes to me despite not being as genuinely talented as the likes of Waddle, Beardsley, Gazza, and Keegan. Football was also a more enjoyable experience, a bit more rough and ready, worse conditions but hammers the way it's went now. Probably a getting old thing as well, no doubt but the likes of all seater stadiums, season ticket culture, sky et al took something away from the game very much including a certain demographic of fan who were discarded without any actual fucks being given as greed took a bigger hold in the game. Roeder was one of the good lads and a true NUFC legend for his part in my formative football years. He's obviously had serious medical issues for a few years so hope he's at rest now. RIP, Glenn.

The shuffle.

Still got his autograph in a book he signed when I was a bairn. Wasn't a big fan of the old board apparently as a player. RIP.

No.
