Very good.

My pay was wrong too, not for the first time.

The lad is no mug being from St. Anthonys, to be fair.

Did Bodega, also popped into the trent post match. Bumped into paddocklad for the first time in a couple of years. A grown up with great patter, all my best wishes to his old man btw.

Cocktails could cost a squilion dollars, they're still mostly as described above. Sickly sweet.

Privatisation has been a roaring success and as a nation we'd love it to finally gets it's teeth into the NHS as well wouldn't we, eh? Or maybe not. Wasn't too many Tory seats in the North East so not sure who the 'we' bit is who voted them in three times, like CT.

Brian Moore does a cracking bit of commentary here as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QsM0cc8aEE

CT! He walks his dog, CT! etc....

As regards the Schooner it's just tradition to top it up maybe in the belief you'll get a better drink. The Dog bit I'm assuming you already know.

My World will end when you ditch that avatar, I know that much.

Maybe I'm immune to Leazes as he didn't bother me in the slightest whether I agreed with him or not.

What he says! Ha'way CT, you'll be telling me you've no idea that it's called 'Dog' or why, next!

Best commentator around I thought especially at a time when they didn't have sidekicks which was better by far. I love this commentary on a goal scored by Supermac; (Love seeng the Toon end at Burndon, a far superior ground to the placca shite that took it's place).

Am neither those three options you've listed but I don't think the place is a million times better at all. It's just about the same from my perspective.

Had a few bottles of McEwan's No1 Champion last night whilst chilling to some music and enjoying our new mein kampfy settee*. I really recommend this drink if you like dark ales, we used to brew and bottle this drink on occasion at the Tyne Brewery but it originates from the old Fountain Brewery in Edinburgh. It's obviously been sold off by Heineken, (who took over S&N) to an independent small Brewer in Edinburgh but it's still a superb drink. 7.3% abv it'll get you super chilled out in no time and put hairs on your chest, take it from me. Two bottles for £3 in Asda or £1.70 a pop. (500Ml) * I fell asleep on the settee and crawled to bed at three when I awoke.

Rob Lee would've probably scored and we'd have had a great chance of getting that Old Trafford monkey off our backs but that little shit brings him down to prevent that scenario. I understand fully what he did and it cost my club, so that combined with the Hughes incident and the general all round arse licking he got means I bare a grudge, I make no bones about it. I tell you what, the Man U PR machine is highly effective I'll give them that, had Suarez done that to Ben Arfa I don't think there'd be the same charity awarded on here.

Aye, remember them both, the rubber faced cheating little twat. Got away with the smash on Hughes, scored the goal and no inquest at all from the media. Here, man, fuck off you loon.

They make a nice couple I think. Bird brain and bird cock.

Off from yesterday through to the 6th.

She apparently tweeted her thanks to her self-pic happy boyfriend for treating her like a 'princess'. Can anybody confirm if they've crashed their car in a fatal accident after a night on the piss? Cheers.

Didn't/couldn't get to that one, HF. To be fair we put every club we've played to shame in the neutral venues for finals/semis/charity shields etc. I remember a lad going with us to Blackburn one year, (not sure if it was the 'Speedie' game or the 'Toms Diner' game, but he had a nickname of the Weasel because he was skinny and slight of build, we made him get the first round as he could somehow slip through the biggest queue at any bar and get an order in where the bigger lads would then take over the carrying of drinks. Anyway, he ordered about 18 pints, we removed the 16 pints, (two each as it was chocka) and as the lass went to get the last two the weasel slithered through the 6 deep bar in a flash as the lass returned to see him gone and all the 16 pints scattered throughout the bar to who knows who. He wasn't a big drinker and he got mortal pretty quickly and as we went through the car park to the ground and saw all the vans/buses approaching the weasel being full of drink started applauding the buses in to the car park in the style of Keegan to our fans which was fucking hilarious at the time especially as the supporters on the buses were laughing at him as well.

Just thought I'dd add the fact that you'd get half the Gallowgate singing 'If you're going to [insert football club here], clap your hands' at the home games prior to the away games they were singing about which I'd completely forgotten about till my mate reminded me the other day. It was the start of a Geordie mobilisation for the next away and was a pretty good way of gauging how many we'd take the following week! (Probably means nowt to younger posters but it makes me smile).

Maybe distrust of Hall but almost certainly it was him 'keeping it in the family'. The club was well known as 'the family silver' which was owned for years by the Seymour and McKeag families, Stan Seymour Snr not only played for a successful NUFC, (a formidable centre forward by all accounts), but was the de facto manager around the fifties as a Director when Managers weren't the norm as they now are. (By 1955 we tried the Manager approach, the Manager was dropping Jackie Milburn so Seymour got him back for the biggest game of the whole football season, the cup final, where Jackie did the business and we got the third of our fifties Wembley wins). Stan Jnr had his stint as chairman in more lean times before Gordon McKeag took over the reigns, he getting his club silver from Alderman McKeag. Interesting the shit the old Directors used to get for being unambitious and seeing genuine World class players leave our club with barely a finger raised by the club to prevent it compared to modern times with our mate, Mike. I remember the week before we pulled the very unlikely 2-1 win at Anfield against the mighty Liverpool we got beat at home to Coventry 0-3 and large numbers stood up in the Milburn/Beardsley stand and gave the directors dogs abuse as the third went in, (pretty sure they were all scored in the 1st half), also around that period we were linked once more with David Speedie, he was hated but he would've been a great signing for us but Coventry got him instead. We used to be outmuscled by fucking Coventry City, man! Pretty sure he scored that day, I'm sure Cyrille Regis did as well. If McKeag had've pulled a quarter of the stunts/Llambias quotes that Ashley has done he would have to be put in a safe house! A Mike Ashley then would've been in serious physical danger IMHO.
