Happy Face

Dunno who you're on about, but I'm talking about Ham-Man

Carver is confident Cisse will be fit for the game. "He should be OK,” Carver told The Journal. “He had a problem with his groin, he hasn't trained yet. He didn't train on Wednesday and I think the fortunate thing is that we have the extra day with the game being on Sunday.” Carver also ensured fans that the magnitude of the derby would not be lost in translation among the foreign players. He added: “I know a lot of people have asked whether the foreign lads will know about the derby. Don't worry, we'll make sure they do. “We've got a few new additions, Papiss in particular. He's finding it hard enough to understand what I'm saying at the minute, no matter what this game means. “By the time we get to Sunday he'll have a good idea, don’t worry about that.”

...The Hamman funds were handed back to Gullit though. He spent twice what Hamman's sale brought in on Dyer, Goma and Marcelino that summer. The cunt. the Beardsley funds weren't, and neither were the Carroll funds.

No. ...and Beardsley went there too. The opposite way we've had past their peak Michael Owen, John Barnes and Ian Rush. That's the difference between the sort of signings that bring success and those that don't.

They finished above us, and are likely to this season too, and he has silverware already. Very much like the Hamman situation where he left and won the treble with them quite soon after.

Liverpool were below Newcastle when he left.... http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/2010-2011/table/2011-01-25

It was always a fucking disgrace like. I propose a stickied set that's locked for responses. The OP can have all the fixtures in with results and scorers, then 1 post per fixture can follow with full teams, subs, bookings, sendings off, attendances etc. That way, every season we'll have a 39 post overview of it in it's entirity

He probably does wish he still played with Barton and Nolan or for Hughton, who'd play to his strengths and get him scoring again. Would he halve his wage and give up silverware for 5 times as many goals? Probably not.

the section of Metro between Tynemouth and Wallsend will beclosed in both directions all weekend. Funny how there's always track work being done on the metro at North Shields when there's a derby on. It's like they don't want a load of Mackems travelling by ferry.

This Adam Campbell is supposed to be the dogs bollocks. I just think of Pete Campbell off Mad Men whenever I hear the name though.

Yes you were...

But if the cancer's already there, might as well light up a Cuban and go to an all-you-can-eat overcooked red meat buffet. Whey take it to PM, think of it as the smoking shed outside, we don't want the second hand smoke attacking the main board, some people want to try chemo. I like this analogy.

I didn't see the game and don't know who scored...apart from Robben got the winner. I know Pearce was saying he won't be in contention for the job though.

Aye, you can see millions of little particles whizzing about within the beams.

Leazes posting on the subject is as inevitable as death, I try not to smoke too much and keep the cancer at bay though. Caught a whopper there like! Hook, line and sinker. Well done sonna. The LM tail tugging is tedious as fuck, you're spoiling the board engaging in it.

If you're bored of him, and want him to 'leave it', why do you keep goading him you utter tosspiece.

Sorry, what? LM has spent a year banging on about the Carroll money and why not spending it is bad, so much so he's been under threat of a ban for being a wind up merchant, and now you're asking him to do it again. If you want to read his thoughts, do a search on Leazes' posts containing "Carroll" view results as posts, it's the little cog in the top right corner. There'll be thousands of results and the board won't get bogged down in the same old shite.

He's recouped a hell of a lot more when you look at transfers alone, but he had to cover the cost of relegation (his mistakes) with that too. NUFC have had to keep on borrowing to maintain the level of spending we have over the last 5 years.

That's what the OP and the entire thread is about. Look at page 1 if you want the latest balance there. I was interested to see what was actually being spent on the field though, irrespective of what any other club is daft enough to pay us for our players, what are we willing to go and pay for players from other clubs.

Have you got the Mackems list too please CT?

Maybe Leazes keeps repeating the same argument ad nauseum because people keep asking him to. That's what deserves a snore. Give it a rest man.

Brilliant that it gets that far. This is roughly the light path for those that don't want to go all the way to St Mary's...

It's for the olympics.... http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2012/03/01/olympics-global-rainbow-artwork-lights-up-whitley-bay-61634-30435260/ Repeated every night until Sunday. Worth seeing.
