  1. Have you stopped beating your girlfriend? Yes or no?
  2. So Ashley instructed his people to make up stories about death threats in order to have an excuse to persecute the Geordie Nation. What a mastermind of evil and cunning!
  3. If I was Ashley I'd be thinking about how to gimmick the roof of the West Stand so on sunny matchdays it'll spell "Sports Direct" in shadows on the pitch.
  4. There seems to be a general consensus that the East Stand is untouchable due to the listed buildings behind it. However, could it not be extended vertically like Boca Juniors did with the Bombonera? it would look odd but it could prove a cheaper option than building over the road and metro station at the Gallowgate (on land which the club no longer owns so that would be an extra cost) I think that has been suggested but the Leazes terrace complained that it would block the natural light and leave them in a permanent shadow Then as long as they house only mackem students there, no problem.
  5. Two magpies sitting on the roof opposite. It's a sign! 2-0

    Why am I not surprised by that? My old man still speaks very highly of him as a player. Must have been a terrific talent. Marvellous clippings, btw - thanks for sharing. I was a teenager round about the same time (1972) and had a bad problem with my hip after a climbing holiday in Scotland. Nowt to do with the club, but the treatment I got was a farce. My GP gave me pain killers and an appointment to see a specialist some five or six months later. Before that ever happened, I slipped on some ice, fell on the hip, and was in screaming agony. At that point I was hospitalised and the RVI gave me the wrong treatment. A month later, a new doctor realised what was going on. I had a second operation and was in hospital for six months, walked on crutches for another six months after that. Today, as a result, I'm officially disabled, can barely walk some days, and need a hip replacement. Medical treatment in Newcastle in those days left a lot to be desired.
  7. Because they're desperate to find something to moan about.
  8. Peace on earth, goodwill to all!
  9. Let's face it, if Pardew had been replaced in the summer and a new manager had had exactly the same season we've had so far, everyone would have been singing his praises for weeks already.
  10. Absolutely fucking excellent. It's my birthday today. One of the mates I'll be going out with later is a Man U fan. Sweetness.
  11. The last time we beat Man Utd at their place, Joe Harvey (God rest his soul) was manager.
  12. For 45 minutes he actually looked like a player who should be at the World Cup.

    After how many wins in a row is it acceptable to stop complaining?
