1st April Only one today that really fits the shenanigans of the day. 2009 Most Newcastle fans woke up to what they must have thought was an April fool as Alan Shearer was announced as manager for the rest of the season. The move came just days after MD Derek Llambias rubbished claims that the club were set to replace Chris Hughton with a short-term appointment - but followed on from comments made by Joe Kinnear that suggested he was unlikely to make an imminent touchline return. Iain Dowie was tipped to join Shearer as his assistant - the former striker having been a team mate of his back in their Saints days. The pair had just eight games to save United, starting with the visit of Chelsea to SJP. That thread on here is such a good read when it turns from disbelief into acceptance into delayed excitement

If we were paying his wages, he wouldn't have been here at all

Being honest and realistic tbh. I'm sure I'll watch it, just exaggerating. No its pessimistic and negative as fuck. It doesnt do any good. Positivity breeds positivity 3:0 Your positivity is rooted in nothing though. What has suggested in recent performances that we'll beat these? We've got injuries to an already depleted strike force and our key midfielder missing against a side who will batter us around in the middle of the park. Tbh i dont get it neither, away from Matchdays i'm the most pessimistic fan you can find, if we were top of the league i'd be looking how many points off relegation we were, but when i get to St James' i do nothing but get behind the team, no booing, nothing, just constant support for them. And for the first time in a while i thought we were gonna win a game against Everton and get a 2-0 win.....That teaches me for being positive Aye, at the match, you've got to rally them on and support them. Sometimes, like the Arsenal game, it clearly spurs the players on. In terms of looking at matches before they take place and looking at the state of the club, there's nothing atm to breed any positivity. It's a pessimistic viewpoint but it's a realistic and justified one. Expecting NUFC to go out and make strides in the transfer window and turning Wolves over with no decent strikers is asking for trouble.

Soz, jackanory.

Has anyone ever called a lass "mate" or "pal" before? I done it but she was a bus driver so that's alright.

Yeah! YEAHHHHHHHH! I think it may be time for me to give this forum a little rest don't ya know?! I have enough stress in my real life without coming on here and getting wound up half way through each thread. Don't let it get to you. Little boys never really grow up - it's pathetic. Not always true Cath, neither my hubby or son would waste their precious time arguing with strangers on internet forums! Each to their own, but it does my head in A good heated debate is one thing but constant petty comments and whinging is another!! Aye, they would.

Hamburgers at dawn.

Had to be there, I suppose.

I've not had a shite for a while.

you know who it's by? Aye, my mate Next time he does it, i'll take a snidey video.

Flash Gordon theme, shut up. That bit from 2 minutes with the falsetto is genuinely great. So is the falsetto in "EVERY MAN, EVERY WOMAN, EVERY CHILD, THE MIGHTY FLASH" Heard a mint acoustic cover where the singer done it with all the sound effects and quotes in the single version. He ended with ""FLASH, I love you but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth" Get your priorities right, woman!" *END*

A = Ameobi obviously. Easy ones would be H = Henry A = Anelka D = Dublin Z = Zola V/N = Van Nistelrooy C = Andy Cole

I'd have accepted it like but not on the last day of the transfer window. In the summer with plenty of time to reinvest in the squad, similar to how Spurs done with the sale of Berbatov, I don't think it would have been too foolish or disasterous a sale. But, they've not got the long-term in mind.

This one is adamant he's real. Think Simpson mentioned it this morning too. Not sure like. He seems to be trying really hard to prove it's him. Fair enough. I like to think Leon BIZORK is him anyway.

Anyone want a giant Twix? http://www.pimpthatsnack.com/project/348/ Or a giant Jaffa Cake? http://www.pimpthatsnack.com/project/332/2 Pimp That Snack

This one is adamant he's real. Think Simpson mentioned it this morning too. Not sure like.

Let's hope Leon Best never becomes a scout. "Guys @marlon_harewood is a top guy follow him! True talent and true goalscorer."

Do you honestly think we're going to bring in those players like? There'll be another Perch-esque "handyman", a couple from abroad who won't be Tiote-esque but that'll be the reason behind signing them and a striker from the lower leagues.

Watford. I think that's just answered 6.3? We make some team.

Watford.

That second one looks like PL Top Scorers. Is the missing link Ronaldo again? Or Anelka? That bottom one looks like Young Player of the Year but I couldn't say who won it in 08/09.

1st is Bowyer. 2nd is Wayne Bridge.

Christ, I read that Vassell question all wrong. Were New Zealand the only unbeaten team at the WC? Carroll only had one cap before the Ghana game. Henderson must be one. Gibbs?
