i was surprised to learn that this guy was a civil servant by day

anything from neck up has got to be a no no. that said, this isn't a bad look

for those who haven't seen it: what a plank!

best tatoo ever's got to be steve o's almost life sized picture of himself on his own back. genius

i can see a nervy draw or a narrow victory personally. this is the sort of game where martins should be filling his boots and getting a hattrick.but we always look shite against the minnows. i'm going for a 1-1 draw

cnuts

honestly, who is going to buy those?

no rush. whenever you're ready yeah?

Aye but the key point is here, why waste maybe a minute of your life posting that? i just wasted ten minutes of my life reading it. one more wont hurt

1. titus bramble 2. steven carr 3. peter ramage 4. celestine babayaro 5. craig moore

this is such a shit thread

still waiting tbh

looking good micky o! how weeks of light training before he's ready to step up to to the real thing?

i actually really hope we don't sign heskey. for alll the "hard work he does for the team", i'd sooner sign a striker that can score goals.

and emre's not?? i've always thought he was quite hard to knock off the ball - low cenre of gravity and all that. plus he always looks to win the ball back like a terrier whenever he's dispossesed... not the strongest tackler in the world though, granted. the main problem with emre for me is that he never seems to be able to stay fit for more than a handful of games at a time and he doesn't suit playing alongside parker in the middle, not that i'm advocating selling emre and keeping parker...

why does every newcastle manager seem to rate bramble so highly when it's obvious to all of us that he's not good enough? i'll cry if he's offered a new contract.

someone post it. i want to see it

over-rated. i'd prefer emre to stay, or for us to sign a more creative midfielder to play alongside parker or butt if emre does go. reo-coker seems a bit light weight to me.

is this kid for real? i doubt he was even at the match - he comes across like a semi-retarded eleven year-old

martins and owen might work but i fancy recruiting a better target man than le sib, who tbf shouldn't bemore than a 4th or 5h choice. i like the idea of a big man/little man fron two. ashton with either martins or owen would be good -let's face it, neither are going to be fit all season and it's good to have at least 2 top class strikers to rotate

assuming we've got some money, and west ham go down, i'd go in for ashton and konchesky.

playing music after a goal is small-club-tastic

me too. good to see glenn dropping an under-peforming 'big name' player. i can't understand why he sees bramble as an automatic starter though.

finally...a man that tells it like it was Keegan was over-rated too then. hardly. they both had poor international careers but i remember keegan inspiring liverpool to league titles and european cups and winning european player of the year awards. captain marvel didn't achieve much with man u until he was a fringe player.

good news for us. something tells me they'll come begging if they qualify for the next world cup...although martins will be pushing 40 by then so maybe not
