Optimistic Nut

Nearly as bad as when Hoddle blamed losing a 3-0 lead to lose 5-3 on them scoring the third on the stroke of half-time meaning Man U had to go all out attack in the second-half.

Interesting that he's keeping Glen Johnson, a £7m right-back out of the side! I'm sure he could do a better job than Luke Young in the senior squad too.

Those who guide Bolton plan their strategy around one central fact - they guide Bolton. As Maynard Keynes said, "When the facts change, I change my mind - what do you do?". Should the people at Bolton come to Newcastle, they would, in all likelihood, approach things in quite a different manner, applying their financial nouse in ways appropriate to their new surroundings. There would be greater income, greater natural momentum and, generally speaking, greater potential. 29433[/snapback] Sorry, I meant the Newcastle fans who went to the Reebok Stadium and were singing those songs.

Do people who were singing "Shepherd Out" and "Sack the Board" at Bolton honestly think a new chairman or board, with the same finances, would have gone and spent £28m in a week?

Why can't we just run the domestic season from September to May, and have the qualifiers during the summer, then the finals the next, that way the "proper" football doesn't get affected. I'm sure the players wouldn't mind playing 10-12 games over a 6-7 week period between the end of May & start of July, then have 5-6 weeks off before pre-season training starts in early August?

Again though, we don't know the ins and outs. Is it totally unfeasable that when Sir John Hall invested a lot of his own personal millions into the club, he agreed that once the club was stable and able to run self-sufficiently, the family could regain the money they put in? Serious question.

I can see us taking him on Loan.

Liverpool transfer activity since 1998. Spending = £180.25m Transfer fees received = £69.565m Net Spend = £110.685m Average per season = £13.835m (source = http://www.lfc-1.com/general/transfers.asp) Newcastle transfer activity since 1998. Spending = £183.88m Received = £95.875m Net Spend = £88.005m Average = £11m (source = www.nufc.com) Not a great difference, and considering the amount of extra money Liverpool have received over the years from better cup runs, bigger worldwide fanbase, etc, I think our board has done very well to make us compete with them in the transfer market. Plus, we've had our stadium extension, I bet Liverpool's spending dips dramatically when they move to the "New" Anfield shortly.

Actually, that sounds wrong in so many ways.

BABAYARO! Souness had the pleasure, to look for a left-defender, He chose one prone of injury. To play in-front of Given, and alongside the Boum France's brand new Desailly. Down the left he should fly, skinning players alive, Newcastle's new Olly B? On over fifty-grand, but he's always in the stands When our team and others meet. BABAYARO! He pulls his hamstring, hurts his knees. BABAYARO! He's always in infirmiries. BABAYARO! Most inj'ry prone in all the land! BABAYARO! He's no good sitting in the stand. BABAYARO! He hurts his thigh, even his hand. BABAYARO! A broken foot or swollen glands, BABAYARO! Come on, start playing for the fans. BABAYARO! BABAYARO! BABAYARO! We want you! We want you! We want you or a new recruit. If you like adventure, the doctor's you enter there they will remove that cast. Don't you hesitate, now doesn't it feel great? So get back on that pitch and fast. Now you've got no problems, you don't need an x-ray So don't you worry 'bout a thing But I'm sure there will be, another injury Running from your hands and knees. BABAYARO! He pulls his hamstring, hurts his knees. BABAYARO! He's always in infirmiries. BABAYARO! Most inj'ry prone in all the land! BABAYARO! He's no good sitting in the stand. BABAYARO! He hurts his thigh, even his hand. BABAYARO! A broken foot or swollen glands, BABAYARO! Come on, start playing for the fans. BABAYARO! BABAYARO! We want you! We want you! We want you or a new recruit. We want you! We want you! We want you or a new recruit. ...but...but...he gets hurt in water! ...hey...hey...look, men... Everytime he plays he gets an injury! We want you! Oh my goodness. We want you! He's pulled his hamstring again on the rowing machine! We want you! We want you! BABAYARO! BABAYARO! He pulls his hamstring, hurts his knees. BABAYARO! He's always in infirmiries. BABAYARO! Most inj'ry prone in all the land! BABAYARO! He's no good sitting in the stand. BABAYARO! He hurts his thigh, even his hand. BABAYARO!

Didn't he not only make the subs bench against us in April because he'd just arrived back from a Peru game? I'm sure I can remember he quit recently because the old coach played him at right-back, but he has since been replaced.

For Steven Taylor to "I Predict a Riot". "Ooh, watching Taylor mark Thierry, Is not very pretty I tell they. 'cause Steven's tackles are quite scary, And not very sensible either Tackled so he couldn't be beaten, He got in the way of the Frenchman Would never have happened to Shearer An old Novocastrian La-ah-ah, la la lalala la Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la Taylor starts a riot, Tackles start a riot Taylor starts a riot, Tackles start a riot Ooh, I tried once again against Rooney, He wore a shellsuit and attacked me, He said he'd dominate against me And wanted to take all the glory, I then put the black & white shirt on, And looked out for that ugly Scouse con, He's so fat, he eats pies by the dozen, He's not very sensible, La-ah-ah, la la lalala la Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la Taylor starts a riot, Tackles start a riot Taylor starts a riot, Tackles start a riot And if he doesn't crunch you out here, He's gonna crunch you out there. Watching Taylor mark Thierry, Is not very pretty I tell they. 'cause Steven's tackles are quite scary, And not very sensible either La-ah-ah, la la lalala la Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la Taylor starts a riot, Tackles start a riot Taylor starts a riot, Tackles start a riot And if he doesn't crunch you out here, He's gonna crunch you out there. Taylor starts a riot, Taylor starts a riot Taylor starts a riot, Taylor starts a riot!"

Well Beardo was 33 when he came back and he didn't do too bad did he!

and we're all Super Luque nuts... "Super Luque nuts are we, Me and him and them and me. He'll show us what he can do, When he plays football in front of you. Freddie went to Spain and, flew back, Signing Luque means he'll wear white and black, Super Luque nuts are we, We're all Luque, loopy!"

Very harsh. Great save by Gordon, and would have probably got the rebound but for the deflection.

Two clear penalties turned down (one for each side). Scotland looking a good team. Hartley having a blinder.

(Voila!) "Toon fan, there's no need to feel down. I said Toon fan, when you walk to the ground I said Toon fan, with your bottle of Brown, There's no need to be unhappy! Toon fan, there's a place you can go I said Toon fan, every time you feel low. You can go there, and I'm sure you will find, Ev'ry ones fav'rite Turk on Tyne. It's fun to stay and watch, Su-per Em-re It's fun to stay and watch, Su-per Em-re He knows every trick, which you men can enjoy Opposition fans he'll annoy... It's fun to stay and watch, Su-per Em-re It's fun to stay and watch, Su-per Em-re Skills you couldn't have dreamed, tricks you couldn't think real. He can do anything thing he feels... Toon fan, you will surely agree. I said Toon fan, he's as good as Rob Lee. I said Toon fan, he can make real your dreams, But you got to know this one thing! He can, do it all by himself. I said Toon fan, he brings joy to yourself, The skill is rare, of our Super Emre, I'm sure he will score goals today. It's fun to stay and watch, Su-per Em-re It's fun to stay and watch, Su-per Em-re He knows every trick, which you men can enjoy Opposition fans he'll annoy... You've got to go and watch, Su-per Em-re, you'll love the skill of the Su-per Em-re.

Only joking, haven't got one. (give me a couple of hours to think of some lyrics )

I'll better not share my "YMCA - Super Emre" effort then.

Cheers! Much better now.
