Happy Face

I thought they had only announced one policy

Who can name all of the Bobby Robson tributes we have in Newcastle? I know there's a a bust, a statue, a garden and a train at least.

Has he done something off the field to shame himself apart from being a shagger. Consensual sex with a woman is enough to taint your name now?

Not sure about that. Offside player could be visciously fouled by a trailing defender. So the defender gets a red card but is "awarded" a free kick for the offside, rather than conceding a penalty. The game would also have to be pulled back for every gioal kick/corner decision following an offside close call, which is much more frequent.

I thought you justified the cuts partly on the basis Labour wanted them too. Where's this spending spree notion come from?

Even mmore basic question...why do we WANT to stifle passionate debate?

Played top level football longer than most of us have had pubes. kudos.

The offside rule used to be a black coffee. Now it's a half Caf, non fat Grande 4 shot late in a venti cup, with 1 pump mocha half a pump raspberry, 2 splenda, no foam, extra whip, extra hot, ad pumpkin spice topping and caramel syrup drizzled on the whip. Only a shambles of a person prefers the latter.

I was all set to argue, I got much more listening out of the first album than the second, but I've just realised only 2 tracks on SH are 5 stars and 3 on TS are...so maybe you're right.

Another joy of the game eradicated.

Millburn is outside the strawberry corner.

Street Horrrsing The Fuck Buttons album. 5 years old now. I find myself checking the age of albums much more frequently these days. Think it's a sign the time is passing much faster. Great album though. Not one me Nanna would have liked. "Bloody racket" she'd say.

Because I was impressed how 6 years ago today, we were in almost an identical situation in all competitions...just on the cusp of the club being bought by Ashley. Today is a relevant moment in time, of interest to us writing about the club....as is the time the club changed hands, in this specific thread, where CT has asked about it.

I still think it is. You missed where I said "Just raising the point of interest". It is a remarkably similar situation to the months leading up to Ashley's purchase. I've spent plenty of time talking about the financial side though. I've been told in this thread to concentrate on the football side. Not sure why you point to Alan Smith and Cacapa when they weren't at the club at the point I've compared to? Guess it's because you want to compare to 2009, but then, they weren't first teamers then. 4 appearances each all year. More accurate would be Cacapa vs Williamson |Gosling vs Alan Smith

I reckon he's gonna put it on us to beat the mackems. Player bonuses and a transfer kitty from the winnings.

How Gemmill spent his day

Do you write that to NUFC.com every time they do "On this Day in...." Funny how now we're 13th further wider analysis is imperative. When we were 4th ad 5th last year, the table didn't lie.

Noseism Should be banned.

yes it does.

Obviously. Just raising the point of interest, we're in exactly the same situation we were just before he bought us...if a little worse off in terms of league position. Couldn't have said that at any other point of his ownership. 5th didn't account for the squad depth needed in Europe. Relegation has to take into account the financial mess he was trying to rectify (having contributed to it himself).

Going back to this. On 28/02/2007 - 6 years ago today, we were... 11th in the league - currently 13th On 36 points - currently 30 13 points clear of relegation - currently 6 In the last 16 of the UEFA cup out of the domestic cups ...3 months from take-over. A couple of more league wins and we'll be exactly as we were when he took over. Big moment. Will he move us onwards and upwards, maintain the status quo, or repeat any of his failures.

Can't find your posts that precede that asking owt similar CG. happy to be corrected.

By christ I celebrated Cisse's goal on Sunday. You should move to the Strawberry corner Tom

I think he gets off light. There's NEVER any chanting against him at games any more. He got stick on here in summer....deserved. He got praise in January...deserved. It was Ashley supporter CT who led the debate in this direction.
