After reading CT's toontastic health report can I just add that I wouldn't mind knowing who's behind some of the 'new' posters we have. 'Rocky Road', Lakebellstits' 'areis' etc. So 'fess up please so I know who I'm reading really is. Cheers.

Was going to pull Idiot-tek on his audacity to have a pop at our fans but as he's normally a decent enough kid and he's already had Stevie showing him the error of his posts then I'll just his pat him on the head, ruffle his hair and tell him not to drink with the big boys next time. I know someone who had a bad head today. Had a look on the site Fish went on and I've got to say, where the fuck does all the anti-NUFC/Geordie bile come from? Classic posts from a club with a successful period well in the past and bitter as fuck just like your Villa's and Forests etc and an almost pathetic reflex to squirm uncontrollably whenever Newcastle's support gets any kind of positive mention from the media just like the likes of the Mackems, Man City and Leeds do. I'll allow for the fact that the internet s a bit different from real life but if even a quarter of them are representative of all Blue Scousers then you've one mighty chip on your shoulders.

Never liked him either and his reaction on his show when KK and Man City mutually parted a few years back spoke volumes about a lot of journalists opinions on KK and NUFC. He basically slaughtered him calling him a quitter who had achieved "nothing" as a manager. I'm sure his friends and colleagues will give him a better obituary than I ever will. RIP

We probably would have stayed up if Given hadn't left in the Jan transfer window the margins were that tight. Best keeper we've ever had in my time by a mile despite his weaknesses which as Stevie suggests are overplayed in this thread. Krul could well better him but early days on that score.

Just watched a show on ESPN Classic this afternoon as I was bored about David Ginola, think the show was called 'legends' or something. It was 95% a Spurs show, in fact it more or less started by saying 'Ginola moved from Noocarsell to Spurs in 1997.....' and then showed a load of Spurs footage of him with the odd photo of him in a Toon shirt*. Danny Kelly, David Pleat etc raving about him with the former saying 'yeah he was good for noocarsell but was a complete legend at Spurs'. They also mentioned THAT goal but talked about a goal at Barnsley for Spurs rather than the one v Ferenvacos. Amazingly one-eyed sports journalism from ESPN or whoever made the show. *They did show his goal v Liverpool and that was it.

It's just one of those things. There'll be future posters bringing it up just as future posters will no doubt mention 'Bravado' Dave regarding Fish even though they'll have no idea why he gets called it.

Fuck off, MF! Wouldn't want to be any more of a supa fan/Geordie than I already am! Not sure if you're pulling my plonka, Fish but it'd have to be worth my while as I'd cringe seeing my mug and life plastered all over for every Tom, Dick and Harry to see.

Because we've seen the worst and are ready for the next blow coming round the corner. My first away game was a 4-0 twatting by Everton at Goodison. It's a tough game, we're not in form and missing players. Who knows, when you least expect it?

Five bedroomed Semi with garage don't you know. Alas no stained glass windows yet.

As of approx 13.00 today I now own my own home lock, stock and barrel. Time for the banana. :banana:

Cheers for the help folks, I cancelled the Brussels hotel and got a better one in Bruges for a bit cheaper, will just get an earlier train to make sure we're ok for the connection. Feel a lot happier about it now, mind. Told my pal and now the easy stuff is out the way and sorted his first plan is to sort out the drink situation as "There's nee fucking way I'm paying train prices!" so it's going to be the old innocent looking bottle of coke laced with voddie job again by the looks of it.

Just checked and there's earlier trains on the 9th. (oops!) so it's now basically a case of finding a place in Brugge that'll take late check ins.

Cheers Chez, there's a train leaves Brugge just after seven in the morning getting to Brussels Midi at 8.20. Our Eurostar is at 8.52 but I've never been on the Eurostar so don't know how strict they are with the half hour check in time, plus a few of the Brugge hotels seem to be a bit strict with the late check in times, (basically we wouldn't get to Brugge till about 10.30 pm on wednesday if that's what we decided to do). I'll have a little think and have a word with my pal. P.S. I can't stand seafood!

Thing is we don't get till 9pm then jump on a metro to a seedy part of town, ok on the wedneday night but coming back from Brugge late on the thursday night more than likely pissed as a twat after an all dayer in Brugge with my fellow Mags I'm not sure I fancy telling 'Dominique' I'm a married man whilst 'Mehmet' is behind me rifling my pockets with one hand whilst the other has a flick knife!

I'll take some marmite in my bait then.

Anyone got a clue about this place? Me and my mate are spending wed night and Thursday night here after the match and after reading a few reviews and having a look on Google maps the place looks bit of a hole and apparently a red light district full of prossies and middle eastern immigrants so we'll feel right at home coming from Walker! The hotel is near the Yser metro station so if anyone's got any tips on metro travel Brussels style give me a shout. I may yet cancel the hotel and just try for bruges but the connecting train from Bruges to Brussels is pushing it close for our Eurostar train check in on Fri morning. Any help/tips welcome. (I'll even take the piss taking in good faith).

You're in the right place for an easy/cheap trip so I'd go for it in your shoes to be fair.

Fish: "Hey Meenzer! I've had a couple of drinks and I think we should just fuck it and go to Bruges! What do you reckon? I think it'll be a great day!" Meenzer: "Err, I'm washing my hair that day, Dave." Fish: "I'll pipe down now." Meenzer: "That'll be for the best, Dave." Fish: "Maybe next time, eh?" Meenzer: "........................................................................................................................." Fish: "You still there, mate?"

"Dear Northern Football fan, Awfully sorry we said you murdered your fellow supporters and indeed urinated on their corpses as you were that pissed you thought they were just having forty winks and wouldn't mind. You see we were too busy having a metaphorical 69 sex session with Maggie, Norman and the rest of her self interested party at the time for mutually beneficial reasons and couldn't really be arsed to check out the facts for ourselves as Kelvin had a free bar on that saturday after getting a bonus from old man Murdoch, Sheffield was too far to travel to and we knew our friends in the party would be happy with our piece and would scratch our backs at a later time, who knows, maybe a few of our boys would get the old tap on the shoulder from Liz after 'er indoors at number ten gave the Palace her favour-payback list. Unfortunately we got caught out again as the mud-slinging, workshy, murder-victim-phone-tapping parasites we are who would brand innocent people as murderers just for a political favour and hope you understand. We hope this apology will put an end to this episode as frankly we're still in the brown stuff over the Milly Dowler business and don't need the grief. Cheers for listening and don't forget that the 'Sun' is available all next week for just TEN PENCE! We love it!"

£148, train to Brussels via London, including Belgian train to Bruges from Brussels. Get there on wed night for about 9pm, check in, couple of pints then head off to Bruges the next day on the piss to take in the culture then hopefully see the game then head back to brussels about half ten/eleven stay overnight then head back on the 8.52 train on fri morning. Should be back in Toon for 2pm. Been quoted £94 for a room between us for both nights which is cheap as chips but might upgrade to better.

That's me booked for Bruge. Bit of a fuck on to be honest, people in the south don't know how well off for cheap travel to Europe they are.

Seen a job fitting bra's for the Sun's page 3 girls advertised in Byker Jobcentre. The lad asked if I could make it down to Brighton Pier for the interview the next day? "Is that where the interview is?" I asked. "No, mate." he replied, "the interview is here, the back of the queue is at Brighton." Good luck from someone else fed up with their job/shifts.

Bought a set from ebay as my youngest daughter likes football and it was also a great excuse to have a play on it again but I just can't be be arsed whenever she fancies a game. I liked it as a kid but now..........err, no thanks!

AND.....he had no idea Dewhurst had shut down!!!
