I'd probably have Bullard. Decent set piece taker and a better option in central midfield than Butt or Smith. I'd prefer us signing younger players but I think he'd be a dependable option.

Don't know if that was aimed at me, but to clarify, I'm fully aware that Hall is short term. However, I still think going for a prospect as cover is better than a has-never-been If top clubs are sending their prospects out it's to get games, not sit on the bench. Hall is 4th choice and I doubt Wenger, Ferguson et all would see the point in loaning out prospects to be that when they would get more game time playing in their reserves. Realistically we couldn't expect much better than Hall. I'd rather we bought a prospect than loaned one for the key positions like Center Half, Striker, 'Keeper. Loanees will always be down the pecking order. I just think there were better options available to us, than Hall. There probably was but he's not been a total disaster and he's been useful back-up. If we can get these players in for 3-4 months at a time and they peform well enough, it doesn't matter if they weren't our first choice. Harewood springs to mine, granted his all around play was shit but he got a few goals that grabbed us points so it wasn't a bad thing really. Now, Leon Best is a case where they was probably better available (though what Ashley was willing to pay was probably a stumbling block).

I'm not sure the poorly written words of some horse-faced mackem is going to effect the team at this stage. Stupid cow.

Didn't Kinnear of all people do that last season when we played them too?

Which one is Anglos? Across from the snooker hall just next door to the Indians?

And the pizzas from Chunky Chips along Coatsworth Road are fucking sublime. Also, if the Toon Army barbershop is still there, perhaps you'd like to pop in there for a spiffing short back and sides.

I'd probably lose most of my interest like others have said. Though I always keep an eye on Gateshead's results so I'd probably follow them but I doubt I'd ever have the kind of connection I do with NUFC.

If you can get the 54 bus, I think that goes along Brinkburn Avenue and there's a stop right next to Saltwell Park. EDIT: You can get the 54 from near the Theatre Royal/That sandwich shop across from the fire station (Is it still O'Briens?)

Exactly. I'm hoping we've ditched the gravy train.

An Al Queda dream. Still , I expect the likes of toonie and the other left wing loonies will defend their "rights" Literally has fuck all to do with anything said in that post.

Tell you what, if England/USA runs into me seeing Blondie, I won't be happy.

Tell you what, if Alan Smith, Nicky Butt and Shola Ameobi marched into my office telling me to sell players, I'd tell the three useless twats to fuck off considering they're three we need to be flogging.

There's a book shop in Grainger Market with a massive box of these.

I wish he'd stick to cocaine and adultery like other footballers.

Now, I am the complete package. So to speak.

Thank you. My avatar choice now reflects such a title.

I've never been more sure about anything in my life.

Could I become A NICE HAT?

Funnily enough, I just watched that the other night at the insistence of wor lass and ended up really enjoying it. Maybe because Zooey Deschanel is so lovely.

And it continued its slide into the Championship under his running.

January? I'd love to know how he successfully laid foundations for the club to survive the Premier League next season in January. What I see is a bunch of average players who will probably look out of depth and ineffective next season. Now thats a totally different question to what you asked now isnt it? What I asked was what is bolded which is pretty much what I was getting at in my second post (as well you know). In January, promotion was still very likely and as a result, we should have been signing players with some upside for the Premiership rather than whatever was available (Leon Best springs to mind). This season is still clearly part of the rebuilding process with regards to the squad and we're still a weaker side than we were when we were relegated; Not that I was expecting bona-fide Premiership players but when you're signing Coventry City rejects and whatever Portsmouth couldn't afford to pay, what makes you think that he's going to spend £15 million in the summer on real quality? I'm expecting some more Portsmouth exiles and whatever we can get from the likes of Villa/Spurs, certainly not the 5-6 first teamers we'd need, on top of assured back-up.

I have no idea where this opinion that Ashley is suddenly going to start throwing around cash and rebuilding us. Have we seen any evidence of him doing that in the past 3 years?
