  1. Okay, so Im well and truly hammered, but havent you all wondered (apart from those who Know) what Alex does for a living.!!!! I think we can all take it as a given that he was born into money....... But what does he do now? I think he's MI5 Deep undercover and as I write this Im expecting a knock at the door any moment......... Come on J2J or Parky, spill the beans!
  2. Just discovered this one as well with Frank Sinatra
  3. This is mainly here for the over 40's to appreciate the brilliance that was MORECAMBE & WISE but you younguns have a listen as well and its hard not to laugh, They were simply the best.
  4. Some fucker pick on the corner shops and lets get back to some BNP true ground
  5. Ok Alex, here we go. Usually work a Sunday double shift , however Man Flu has forced me home early and I am now drinking rounds of...... Pint x Hobgobling + Treble Baileys (fuck the ice) + Sambuka Followed by Pint x Kronnenburg + Treble Baileys + Sambuka Whilst listening on You Tube to...... Toy Dolls --- Nellie the Elelphant Joe Dolci --- Shaddup yer face Matthew Wilder --- Break my Stride Who needs drugs :D :D :D :D :D :D
  6. and to think, some jokers on here feared the worst - ie getting beaten by the Taffs. promotion is guaranteed - have been saying this since season began the limited fire sale before season began was nowhere near big enough to render the squad incapable of getting results against such weak opposition week in week out the january window dealings have cemented the title imo and just a shame there will be no 'derbies' next season He's back And he's not even gloating!
  7. Kill Bill 2 10/10 Simply delicious, superb, tongue in cheek, Great.
  8. Theres a nice table here on Newcastle Online and it lists Number 9's down the years. Having Man Flu I aint sure if this is all the number 9's but if so, it surprised me when you look at it how few there have been in my time. My time starts with Peter Withe and goes on like this; App Goals Peter Withe 1978-1980 83 27 Imre Varadi 1981-1983 90 42 Chris Waddle 1980-1985 191 52 Paul Goddard 1986-88 70 23 Mirandinha 1987-1990 63 23 Mick Quinn 1989-1992 133 63 David Kelly 1991-1993 79 38 Andy Cole 1993-1995 84 68 Les Ferdinand 1995-1997 83 50 Alan Shearer 1996-present 395 201 My favourite without doubt was Andy Cole. The team, the time, the rollercoaster. His reign had everything and I'll will always remember him for his goals against leicester (7-0) and the hat-trick against Liverpool. The link to the full table is below. http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufchistor...ber9stats.shtml
  9. On the BBC Sport site now Commentator sounds like something from a 30's war propaganda film

    like to see it. I'll try googling.
  11. That could apply to any of the money go round managers as we know better than most. What would Hughton have to next season to convince you he's worth a proper contract? I also wonder what your answer would have been to the above if it had been asked on the eve of this season? Can I have that in English? Also, you've had a pop at Shearer's record in the PL managing us. What about Hughton's? The questions are pretty straightforward really

  13. The question should probably be shouldn't we hurry up and get him tied down on a proper contract before another club recognises his achievements and snaps him up. When you consider that alot of pundits and many on here thought we may do a Leeds, the job he has done with the burdens of low moral, Ashley and knowing a lot of the fans wanted shearer, then it becomes clear why a lot of other chairman will be keeping a watchfull eye on events.
  14. I would also add that he's the only manager apart from KK and Sir Bob that i can say I've liked and think well of. Haven't been to a game for a while, but would like to think he's getting some credit from the terraces.
  15. Can't remember and as I'm at work and on the bat phone it's hard to keep track when a discussion cross threads! My point in both threads however is that given his coaching abilities, which are meant to be sound, he may now be learning in the other parts of the job which will make him a decent manager. Particularly bearing in mind the dross out there on the manager merry go round.

    Washington DC is currently being hit by a massive blizzard. That is a fact. What makes it interesting is the local medias description of the Blizzard. 'Snowpocalypse' and 'Snowmageddon' I just love America
  17. Fair point re midfield, but let's also bear in mind how many of that team last night are "his" players since taking over. The formation might have been forced, but 6 or7 of that team are at Newcastle because he got them and for that he does deserve credit.
  18. And how many "1st teamers" were we missing? Could have all back fired terribly for Hughton so all credit to him, particularly bearing in mind the dross performances we were coming into this game on the back of. It will interesting to see what happens over coming weeks with who he plays. Hope he has the balls to make senior players wait.
  19. Maybe Hughton will be the man! We know their is a gravy train of shit managers out there who just do the rounds achieving very little and picking up nice wages. The Hughes, Allardyces, Bruces etc etc Then theirs the young uns who are meant to be the future such as Keane, Inces etc. Again not proven and just waiting to get on the big boy gravy train. Then we have Hughton. Not only does he look like Obama, he is roundly judged by his peers to be a fairly good coach. Is that not a good solid platform on which to build a career as a manager? Is he not learning how to control a game and become tactically aware this season? Does he seem to make good substitutions? And do some of his transfer dealings look as though they are making a difference? Of course only time will tell, but maybe it is time to stop thinking of the glory manager and just see if we are grooming a little gem right under our nose. Chris, you have my full support.
  20. South Tynesiders educating the inbreds tbf. You live in a Castle not a cuhstle!
  21. QFT. I know it has somewhat of a status at the club, but surely the player makes that status? Not every no9 has been a cult hero. Id just give it to someone. It shouldnt be a burden. this
