How, Dan The Man! Stop nicking my rumours and passing them off as your own on other message boards!

Good show, although I don't tend to watch it very often. Will make the effort though in honour of this thread.

Let's just be thankful Man Yoo are out. Tildesley is insufferable when they're playing.

Did you really laugh out loud at the end of that sentence, or was that just used in place of a full stop? 104400[/snapback] just habit like, not a problem is it? 104402[/snapback] No, hence the wink.

Thorpe's success is obviously down to the fact that he's a big bloke, with feet like flippers and a fin for a nose. Nowt to do with drugs.

Are you 5 years old or something? 104384[/snapback] Poop-chute pirate tbh.

Happy with a draw. Cack myself if we won.

Renton is Euro Boy!

He's dined at the President's table.

Like the ava, Boyo - it IS Bellamy.

Aye, it's not there, Craig.

Awww, you have to feel sorry for them really.

By the way, if it does turn out that we get O'Neill, I think it might tip some mackems over the edge. Both of us managerless, and yet, rabid Sunderland fan, badge-tattooed-arsed Martin O'Neill plumps for Newcastle over them?? They'll be throwing themselves through the walls in the glass centre.

sweetleftpeg is seething!

Aye, Ronaldinho just bounced off him! Lampard had a really quiet game as well, to the point where you wondered sometimes if he was still on the pitch. Might still have been struggling with the hamstring though, I suppose.

You're just jeal cos it's me with the latest rumour and not you.

Assuming for a second that this story is true, if an appointment had got to the stage that this story suggests it has, then the sponsors would certainly know by now who the new manager is, I would think. EDIT! I think you might be underestimating the role of the sponsor too btw. They have a vested interest in us not appointing another Souness, and as such will be kept informed as to developments, I'm sure.

Northern Rock are NUFC's main sponsor. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that they would be privy to this sort of information given the sort of money they plough into the club. I'd be less inclined to believe a chief steward like. It might well be bullshit, but a Northern Rock director certainly wouldn't be the worst source I could think of.

Reet, I was told the following last night by someone I consider to be a decent source (not a bullshitter basically), who has been told this independently by a director at Northern Rock, and someone who works for Freddie: The job is O'Neill's, he's been offered it and accepted it. There are a couple of things to sort out - one of them being that he still has some sort of formal arrangement with Celtic to return there once his wife is well, which isn't going to be exercised because his return to football has come sooner than expected for both him and Celtic (they've got Strachan now and are sticking with him). Shepherd is in the process of sorting out a house for him and his wife, somewhere fairly close to the airport, and nothing formal will be announced until it's all sorted for them to be in their house, so that he's not having to do any silly commutes or causing unnecessary upheaval for the wife or anything like that. Apparently he's on a pretty massive contract as well, money-wise. There you go anyway, I stand to look like a mong if it's not true, but I've no reason to think this bloke was lying.

"....I'm sure Jose Mourinho can't have any complaints. The best team won over the two legs." Cut to Mourinho. "Jose, did the best team win?" "I don't think so." Oh I think so Josie!

Jesus wepticles. Cringe every time.

Chelsea are oot! Shame!

Brilliant isn't he. Looking forward to seeing him play in the WC.

Get in! Mourinho looks pleased.
