Gemmill

The big weight.

To be fair, I think I could still hold my own against a mackem under current circumstances.

We've treated him very fucking shabbily, it has to be said. As I've said elsewhere I'd be giving O'Neill a ring if I was him and saying "If I put a transfer request in in January will you come in for me?" and just fuck us off entirely.

Someone ring reception at the club and ask to be put through to Shepherd and ask him what the FUCK he's playing at. It's a simple tactic. But it might just work.

Was thinking about this earlier, because it really has got to the stage where it's very apparent that we can't move on with this bloke in charge. It's got to the stage where he needs to be given the thumbs down in the same way Ellis was. And before anyone starts, yes I KNOW we've splashed £15m this summer, but it's easy to throw money about when you have attendances like ours. Having a long-term plan is something else entirely and we haven't had one for the last decade. Any potential suitors would probably love it if we gave them a hand in chasing Freddy out. Having said that, I'm far too apathetic to get involved in any banner-making or anything like that.

I would fucking LOVE to be a fly on the wall in the boardroom where Laurel and Hardy are sat at the minute.

I'd have him here at this stage.

This stinks to the high heavens like. Alarm bells must be going off at the FA. Always assuming anyone at the FA is paying attention.

If you were Milner your looks would improve (just what craig said mate, remember the gay jibe ) 189040[/snapback] Swan Lake Nancy Boy!

Shut up Lazaru!

If I was Milner I'd be handing a transfer request in on December 31st.

Sounds like he's rejected terms. 188985[/snapback] Says he was recalled on the text service. 188987[/snapback] "left without a deal being struck" according to SSN 188991[/snapback] Aye because we told him to get his arse back up here. It says he was ordered to return to SJP on the official site. 188994[/snapback] Well that's a fucking joke tbh. "James, we've agreed to sell you to Villa, go talk to them" Halfway through the talks, James gets a text message from the official club SMS service... etc etc 188999[/snapback] Total shambles. OMG J GET ON TRAIN BAK! EXPLN later. XX

The lad must feel like a complete dickhead. I'd be livid travelling back up the way this has been handled. Anyone still think we've handled this transfer window in a professional manner, ffs?

Aye.

See change in thread title, looks like this one's a no-go.

4 strides?

8 hours to go! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I fail to see how ANYONE at NUFC with a say in transfers gets absolved from any responsibility on this one. Be it Shepherd (Freddy or Kenneth), Roeder, the scouts or whoever. What happened to our pole position anyway?

More than that. How long did it take? 188883[/snapback] 8 or 9 hours I reckon? It was a school day so must have left around 8:30-ish, and was picked up teatime-ish. I can't be too accurate as the sands of time have drifted somewhat since then 188934[/snapback] No shit! It was probably pretty much an as-the-crow-flies trek across fields back then.

SHAMBOLIC Get Roeder back on Radio Newcastle to answer some PROPER questions.

Just as well we don't need a good full back or else I'd be bloody annoyed about Chimbonda going to Spurs.

My mate once ran back from town to Felling, in tears because he got refused entry to a pub on his birthday. When we got back, the front door was open, the burglar alarm was going, and he was slumped half on, half off the sofa with two lines of mud spattered up his back from where he'd flicked it up as he'd ran across the field. The same lad once left town early, picked himself up a curry and went home only to realise he'd forgot his keys. Undaunted he sat on the front step and ate a full chicken tikka massala with his hands and then passed out. When we got back he was comatose on the doorstep with the red sauce in his hands, up his sleeves and all over his face, the scruffy tramp.

As soon as I saw your name in this thread I knew there would be a sub-zero temperature involved 188860[/snapback] Only did it once, but enough to stick with me. Went across town with wor lass, who ended up being 'that fucking bitch' by the end of the trip, so I had to walk home. 188872[/snapback] The marriage was off then? 188880[/snapback] Meh, that one was never marrying material. Good in bed, though. Better than Gemmill. 188882[/snapback] She must have had something seriously wrong with her. Normally you've all but proposed after a week.
