There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

I fail to see how where we are in the table is of any relevance whatsoever when it comes to having a good laugh at the circus that is Newcastle United, Tango. They've just got rid of a moderately successful manager and trumpeted in as the new messiah an absolute cartoon of a man that's failed in every appointment he's had. To hear him having gone from "we're going to win something at this club" to "40 points should keep us up" in a matter of days is, for me, a source of abundant hilarity. Where we are is not the issue for it is not we that are a bunch of deluded knobbers.
Ain't disagreeing and I've done my share of laughing at em Bruce, pxss-taking too. My laughter will be just a bit off-set by the other feelings if they stay up and we get relagated is all.

My best mate up here and I have made a pact that if it comes down to them or us on the last day to have no contact for a week.

If we stay up at their expense though I'll be dancing in the deserted streets.

Seems funny how the fans seem to blame everything and everybody and still regard Keegan as some sort of Messiah. Just show though, you can't guarantee to win, even with an expensive England striker leading the show.

Well Mike, if they carry on playing like that, it might be time to leave the stands and get back to the safety of the director's box. And take that stupid shirt off too!

can't find this story anywhere else. Scousers reporting unfounded rumours about other fans? Surely not.


Though Mr Ashley has plenty on his plate with Sports Direct's results on Thursday - he's not as rich as he used to be, his shares are now worth about a third of what they were 12 months ago....

and this goes to show the level of delusion inside the club....

you're in a relegation fight because of Keegan, you fecking drunk. And you're the one constant in the whole big feck up, conincidence? I think not.
power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely

kevin nolan is so fat, that when he sits around the house he sits around the house

A side playing with absolutely no confidence whatsoever - as soon as that first goal went in (and how lucky was that?!) they just gave up. They'd been playing largely in their own half for a 0-0 anyway, but you could just see that they had no ideas and no real direction or leadership. Owen was laughably quiet up front; can't remember a single contribution of note in 90 minutes.

I still don't think they'll go down, because Fulham and at least one other side are worse than them, but it could get mighty close if they don't pick up a result in their next few games and one or two of the sides below them scrape some draws/the odd win like Wigan did yesterday.

no wins in 12 says that's true

at this stage of the season it's all down to form and confidence and newcastle have neither

just seen nicky butt in manchester and spontaneously burst out laughing as i saw him

That’s my intention, to turn this club around and give them what they deserve, which is silverware. We nearly did it once. That is still my intention.

Whats that Kev? To nearly win silverware again?

Anyway; I've just emailed Geordie-boy and asked him to come back and play like you suggested.
For some reason his reply makes me think he's lost his sense of humour. I wonder why that is? :mrgreen:

Any chance you can share his response with us? I imagine you'll need a few well placed asterisks.

Edit : Send him this link

It turned out be quite prophetic.
