I think abroad is the bigger problem, AC Milan was a strong rumour.

Crying out for a Leazes as Hitler Youtube thingy Sadly it's the football worlds view that counts, when trying to obtain players/sponsorship etc etc

Don't fret, Leazes'll have cuttings of his best days.

No not "most memorable game" (as you stated), but "most one sided", totally different animal, sorry but you're wrong, again. Have seen far more memorable games in my time, but struggle to recall a more one sided (and yet losing) one, even if I got the score wrong, which shows how memorable (or not) it was, actually. Wish I'd kept some cuttings FYI, My most memorable Newcastle game (a close run thing with the last minute(s) excitement of the Boro 3-3 away) was the Man U 5-0 as it happens, yes, that's right, a game under the stewardship of your idols, a game before they lost the plot.

Wrexham methinks, if it's the one I remember getting soaked through at and kicked out at half time. I'm sure Leazes will correct me, from his cuttings.

I don't "think" Liverpool are bigger than us, I KNOW that in the eye's of the footballing world they ARE considered bigger than us. That is a FACT. Geez

Please quote where I stated "most memorable game", you really have lost me. Edit - Do "cuttings" bear a relation to memorable ?? Maybe that's my problem I have no cuttings, or bus tickets for that matter (or I'd know what happened after the Hunters)

On the subject of comprehension, there's a difference between "memorable" (your words) and "one sided" (mine), patently not most memorable since I aint remembered it correctly. Could have sworn it was Sheff Utd though, and Currie. Photographic game memory, as I said, is not my strong point and I'm not sad enough to keep cuttings.

"Eye's of the football world" If you don't concede that they are seen/accepted as bigger than us within the game, you are bordering on insane.

Went from being a nipper with me dad (mid 60's to early 70's), Ronnie Tatum's sister was our neighbour, until aforementioned Hunters bus and NUFC too over my affections, still went to Shields as and when NUFC were away though. Think it was early 70s. It was after they won the FA Amateur Cup. Before my time like Was 10 (and three quarters) when they won the cup, was there, my dad had done all the games home and away. I was at the semi at Ayresome, 0-0 I think, and the final, great day, special train at stupid o'clock in the morning from West Monskeaton (for some reason).

Used to get on in Holywell, had to get off in Whitley and for the life of me I can't remember how we got to town. Think The Deleval to Whitley bus was in fact the North Shields route and we had to change onto another for the rest of the way. Memory dims with age !!! Change at whitley bus station for ye olde 308 surely. Or get off at either West Monkseaton, Monkseaton or Whitley and get the train up to town. Mention of the Hunters bus didn't half get the memories going. Used to get off next to Woolies in Whitley, then changed onto gawd knows what, was there not a Hunters Whitley to town bus that met the Deleval to Shields one ???? Beside Wollies was their stop, weren't allowed in the bus station I think as that belonged to United. Do remember the train sometimes though, used to get off at Manors

There really is no point as your reading comprehension is nil. I've never been to a training session in my life nor did I ever say I had an ST in the 70's, always pay on the gate, work permitting and only centre paddock "if I was flush", otherwise Gallowgate end usually. Were you at that Wrexham game, midweek and howling a gale and pissing down ?? Part timers didn't go out to a game in that weather. I never kept programmes nor have a photgraphic memory of games but remember some things, do you remember Pop Robson scoring direct from a free kick against Arsenal but the ref dissallowed it because George Graham wasn't 10 yards ?? Think we lost 1-0 in the end, could be wrong mind. The most one sided game I ever saw in my life was against Sheff Utd at home, we absolutely mullered them, but lost 4-1, Tony Currie scored a couple, maybe even a hat-trick, I think the 4 goals where the only time they got out of their half, unbelieveable it was. Favourite "old" goal, Tommy Craig left foot (obviously) volley against Spurs at the gallowgate end, was sat right behind it in the "new" stand (must have been really flush that night). You see I really did go a lot pre 92 mate, believe it or not, but it's of no consequence. Finally, like it or not, Liverpool, in the eye's of the football world are currently (and for years have been) a bigger club than us. Indisputable FACT, and I hate them above all others.

Not one answer ever Lot's of piffle mind. Swissramble (for example) a respected independant football finance expert posts on Skunkers does he I suppose getting the Hunters bus as a kid from Seaton Delaval to Whitley then into town to sit at the front of the Gallowgate right behind the goal (looking back a stupid place to watch the match from BTW) doesn't count as being a supporter, neither does most home games in the 70/80's (work permitting) doesn't count either, liked the centre paddock if I was flush and was a great view sitting on the scaffolding/planks that were permanently there for the Shoot camera's. You're such an ubber supporter I'm sure you were there the night the Wrexham game was called off at half time due to the rain and wind (I was and nearly fucking drowned), can you recall the REALLY bizarre event first half, and at which end, concerning the Wrexham keeper ?? That was pre 92 I believe. Anyway I do not have to justify shit to you, you can keep shouting your deluded crap all you want mate. I'm quite happy being objective, blinded by hate, geez BTW Tony Green's testimonial was against Boro (1974), not Sunlun as you stated some time back. I was there, were you ?? Are you sure you were a supporter pre 92.

Says the bloke who NEVER answers a question. Desperate If you say it often enough, it must be true !!!!

Well you can't read then because I did, some pages back, not that it has any relevance at all. You have never answered my question, i.e. where's the money come from. I'm not blindly hating, I'm posting information and facts from a totally independant and qualified source. I'm done with your circular and ridiculous arguments Leazes, I posted the information for someone else, you wouldn't even read the link because there's some harsh truths in it for you. Don't bother quoting this with any follow p comment because I won't reply, there is no point making hand signals to the blind. Some random bloke with a website is hardly a reputable source. The idea the club would have gone bust without Ashley’s money was put around by Chris Mort, since when it’s been taken as gospel despite never being back up with any facts. As had been said numerous times, the majority of PL clubs are carrying some debt. Arsenal, for example, are about £200m in debt and recoded a half year loss recently... are they about to go bust? Some random bloke: "Essential reading about the business of football, with a depth of knowledge that makes it stand well out from the crowd" - The Guardian "Best Niche Website - gets our vote for shedding light on a topic that is at once both essential and alien to the modern football fan – football finance" - Soccerlens "Respected football financial blogger" – BBC I'll take his unbiased word for it, thanks. Arsenal have Champions league money plus over a million a game from the Emirates. We were carrying more than "some debt" we were maxed out, maybe we could have got more finance, but at what cost - one exisiting loan we had we were already paying 11.7% interest. P.S. Your Chris Mort comment is actually addressed in the blog, in terms along the lines of "he would say that wouldn't he" and then there's an independant view from a financier

Press conference with Ancelotti was fucking hilarious. "He's done it, he's sorry, it was an accident". Righto, accidently picked an air rifle up, pointed it at someone and pulled the trigger I think the blokes a cunt, but as its an air rifle and it was fired on private grounds, the is nothing to answer for....However as he shot someone, then it becomes a matter for the police to investigate, if Chelsea pay the lad off to keep his mouth shut or say they were just messing about, the case will get dropped, if the lad pushes it, then Cole is fucked!! Won't happen, I'm sure some of Mr Abramovich's "friends" will have handed over an envelope with a word of advice or two.

His latest "look" is at Sunlun, that's a canny read as well

I have literally no defence. What I meant to say was that I don't think the positions are going to change much between now and the end of the season. Bar the bottom five, who will jostle and swap positions like they're playing musical chairs. Liverpool will drop significantly, they really are not very good and the Dalglish boost looks spent. I fucking hope so, anyway !! you mean the 2nd biggest club in the country ? Thats some decline Their trophy signing will be back soon though, and they will finish above us. Yes, I believe Liverpool are "in decline", hopefully a long one.

obsessed. And I'm right. You'll see. The occurrence of which future event/events would prove you 'right'? om fucking god Answer him then I could dig up his old posts, and the idiot knows it. As it bothers you a lot, you look. I'm right already, many times over. Mike Ashley is a cunt. He will never match the halls and Shepherd. Aston Villas "plan" won't match the "planless" Halls and Shepherd. It could be years before someone else equals those champions league and european qualifications. The club is in decline. Mike Ashleys limit of ambition is to survive in the premiership at minimal expenditure and hope to make small profits. He will sell our best players if it needs to be done to achieve this goal. blah blah blah blah....... Oh, I'm also right that he is obsessed, in fact massively obsessed, because he knows he's spouted shit and hasn't got the bottle to admit it. Anyway, I'm can't be arsed bickering with you. Bookmark this thread. Should make interesting reading in the future. So you can't answer him then, is what you're saying He never does

At least spell it right !!! Blimey
