Mike Ashley will want 200mill minimum. I don't think there is anyone out there that will pay that much for Newcastle United, regardless of how much we feel the club is worth. Put sentiment aside. Think about it. If he does get that much for the club then the chances are the buyer will be a bigger fuckin idiot than he is.

What about the yes man he sacked Hughton for?...anything to do with him?...

Back in Black AC/DC

We were on about this on the way to the game yesterday.....we were 33/1 on Friday night when one of the lads checked....now we're anything from 10s to 16s... http://www.oddschecker.com/football/englis...ague/relegation

Good lad Quinn. He's fat he's round he's worth a million pound Micky Quinn, Micky Quinn. If Liverpool play like they did the other night I think the mackems will win 2-0, nee Gerrard as well, nee Gerrard, nee good as far as the WP's are concerned. Celtic v Rangers on today at 3pm in the Scottish League Cup Final. Divvint ignore this question people. How do you get BBC Scotland in England? Can you get it online? Is it on bbc1 Scotland then? If you've got sky or cable scroll through and you'll come across "BBC 1 Scotland" it's 861 on Virgin media as I've just discovered

Are Bale, Modric and Defoe better than Ronaldo, Ozil and Benzema?...not in my book tbh. Real v Chelsea final I reckon....Mourinho back in London to get his 3rd european cup against his old club

Just listening to Mick Fitzgerald on 5live..he said Long Run broke the Gold Cup course record by 15 SECONDS! Long Run is 6, Kauto Star and Denman are 11 which means they both smashed it too... I had 40 quid on Long Run @ 7/2....£180 off out to celebrate

Billy Askew was a great player for Hull, just shite for us had a lot of injuries. He made his debut against Brighton and I was playing football on a field after the game, and who turns up with his Staffy Bull Terrier but Billy Askew, he'd had a shite game. "Billy ye wo magic the day like", then he started talking and I called him a mackem which he took well, but he took his dog home and had a kick about with us for 30 mins, was like playing with Pele at the time or so it felt 11 year old. Sweeney was pony but I remember one game he was like Roberto Carlos against Derby in the ZDS, he scored to this day one of the top 5 goals I've seen at SJP. Do you remember the goal Gazza scored against Chelsea at SJP in his last season?...beat about 4 of them before nearly taking the net out with his finish?....never even seen a recording of it since the day it went in but I'll never forget that one... Only home game I missed that season. Think we won 3-1, and fuck knows how I know this you won't be able to google it, but Kevin Wilson, some kid with a tash scored for Chelsea. Gazza must've put the ball through the stanchion 6 times that season, not enough words could describe how good he was. Aye we won 3-1, had 'Bones' sent off and they had two penalties saved by Gary Kelly. Fucking awesome game. Pitch was a boggy shitpit as well IIRC. There was a canny few sendings off that season. Game against Portsmouth I remember we had someone sent off and they did too, it was either Quinn, Dillon or Kevin Ball for them, fuck knows who for us, and they still had that wanker with the bell even then 23 years ago. Dillon for them, Peter Jackson for us. Full on fucking boxing match going on in the Gallowgate penalty area IIRC. Aye we did have a fair few sent off. Gazza went twice, once at QPR and once at Derby (where he kicked the shit out of their physio's bucket). Why am I remembering all this shit? Thought it was Martin Kuhl for them...? just googled it and as Stevie said even the fuckin internet doesn't have the answer to some of the sad shite on here

Spurs get Real fuckin Madrid in the European Cup quarter finals.... http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/draws/index.html

Anth Lormor (not Howey) and Darren Jackson on the right. No...both wrong and to be fair I don't think either played for the first team...

Did anyone ever sort this out? because it's been confirmed on the facebook page where these piccies are coming from....I won't let the cat of the bag if someone wants to hazard a guess as to who's sharing the water with Mira and Davey....

See how many I can get Top Row - Wharton, Gazza, Tinnion, Stephenson, Jeff Wrightson (?), Anderson Middle Row - nee idea, Martyn Thomas, McDonald, Whitehurst, Cunningham, Jeff Clarke, Allon, Kelly, Dekka Wright Front Row - Bailey, Ferris, Peter, McFaul, Roeder, Davey Mac, Iain Stewart, Is the coach on the left Colin Suggett? I think he was caretaker when McFaul got sacked.

China to veto by 22:01 ?? Surprisingly no, China and Russia didnt use their veto, so it looks very much theyre going to go for a no fly zone....to start with.....

Aye good lad. Most poorly supported club to reach the European Cup/Champions League Final? Malmo or possibly PSV, they're certainly two of the smallest cities to have a finalist...Reims is a good shout as well though...

you got a copy didn't you ? I was kidding, I meant the 2nd one. I haven't picked up a copy of with Clough yet although I keep meaning to borrow Midds' one as he managed to get hold of one. it was me who told him about it and gave him the link. There are copies available. I had it in paperback originally but got a hardback copy a few years ago for about 3 quid or something. I've just looked for the Gary Imlach and there are loads on ebay. The "With Clough" book is extensively quoted in "Why England Lose" http://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-England-Lose-p...d/dp/0007301111 when they discuss transfers. Taylor identified the talent mostly and Clough made the call as to when their time is up etc...Kenny Burns was an overweight drunk gambler at Birmingham City. C & T turned him into a European Cup winner and footballer of the year in 78 or 79, about 6 months before they sold him to Leeds for a huge profit and he didnt acheive anything in his career after that. The book compares C & T at Forest very favourably with the regime at Lyon in France, who until recently had been among the best teams in Europe for the best part of a decade.

At the risk of creating a quote-a-thon from Leazes and his band of fellow gibbering nutters, theres an interview with Olivier Bernard in the Journal, according to this article from TOTT, but I couldnt find it on the ic newcastle website. Anyway he has some very interesting (although wholly unsurprisisng) opinions about the what happened at the club in the aftermath of the SBR regime. TOTT won't let me copy and paste it either, petty fuckers http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/main/s70/st167040.htm Just to say, it's 8 years ago today since Olivier played probably the biggest game of his career in the San Siro. Changed days now like....

I missed that what did he say?

Don't know what you're complaining about OBG, we got him for nowt didn't we?

McNamee came from Celtic I think. He started at Celtic and went to Hibs where we got him from in 1966.....Ferguson was playing for St Johnstone and Dunfermline around then so he very likely did play against each other....whether either were scared of each other I think it would be difficult to say.... Alex Ferguson, in his book, says that McNamee was built like a man-mountain and after one scuffle/disagreement they had, he sneaked out of the ground because he thought McNamee was waiting for him. This is when he played for Rangers, or Dunfermline as PaddockLad says, I think McNamee was playing for Hibs at that time. Anyway, this is the book, which is very good, one of the best. he mentions him here http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle5026752.ece Good read that Leazes....and I read the fergie book yonks ago, but can't remember much about it, maybe time for a another look at it. The best book I've read about football, actually one of the best books I've ever read is this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Father-Other-Worki...s/dp/0224072676 Gary Imlach used to do the American Football on Ch4. It's like a tribute to his old man, who played for Forest when they won the cup in 59 and for Scotland at the world cup in 58. Think it won the "best sports book award" a few years back.

imagine being put in the seat next to that cunt....I'd rather watch the match perched next to Peter Sutcliffe....

http://www.true-faith.co.uk/tf/editorials....72?OpenDocument He's done time and was bombed out of Southampton because of it. There were issues last season (he basically disappered for most of the second half of the season from the squad) Beginning to think he may be more trouble than he's worth. Sorry, but do you have anything else other then his past crimes and some shit rumour to go on? No I don't m'lud It's an internet forum, it's designed to circulate unsubstantiated rumour and tittle tattle. Also one eyed and completely uninformed opinion, coupled with bigoted sweeping generalistions. Glad to be of service
