Football / NUFC / Re: Chelsea (Carling Cup) - Pre-match thread

Bridge,SWP and Ferreira all start tomorrow. Seems like Chelsea want to display there soon to be rejects to there best customer.
Can we do a "Buy it Now" or do we have to wait for the auction to end in 40 days?
you reckon that's the solution to an alternative to the transfer window? have an ebay style auction where managers can out their players on if they want to get rid of them? have a buy it now or 7 day auction.
buyer has to collect or £20 for P&P to send them through Royal Mail. |

Football / NUFC / Lawrenson on Footy Focus

| normally i don't listen to a word what the useless T*** says, but they've just been talking about Newcastle's injury list and at the end of the piece mentioned something about the takeover. Lawrenson said that there a major meeting on Tuesday where they'll have to declare any outside interest or takeover news. anyone know what the lanky streak of piss is on about? what meeting would that be? |

Football / NUFC / Re: £20 million?

recklon as soon as clubs get wind of the fact that Newcastle have got £20mill to spend then the prices will rise dramatically.
would've thought it'd be best to go for players who are reasonbly priced and have experience in the PL or playing at the PL leve. It's grand saying names like Vanden Borre etc, but they;re young players who'd nede time to fit it.
reckon should go for Upson, Bridge, and a RB...canna really think of any at the moment...need more coffee..
that way the club stablises and rises up the league and then the bulk of themoney can be spent of quality players over the summer, and not pay over the odds for them, for next season. |

I'm a pretty good defender in the 5-a-side games...i'm sure my football skills can be bought for £20mill. |

Football / NUFC / 3 injuries
|
on: December 09, 2006, 05:50:00 PM

Just been on 5Live that Emre's ankle injury isn't as serious as the Newcastle staff first thought. It isn't broken but he'll be out for a while
Solano's got a groin strain, no word on how long he'll be out for.
and they're hoping that Sib's injury is just cramp |

Football / NUFC / Re: Albert Luque
|
on: December 01, 2006, 08:38:44 AM

I'm all for advocating giving the bloke a chance, but when he's gvien the chances he's supposed to take them and at least show that he's interested on the pitch. last night he was useless, uninterested and anonymous.
the was a good comment by Joe Royle on the 5 commentary (was shocked at the time that some one on there could make a good point.) basically saying that whilst Luque is a good playing, sometimes a move to a new club just doesn't work out, circumstances, change in the play etc. fair and apt comment in Luque's case.
It's fair enough giving him more and more chances in the vain hope that he might come good next time, but in all honesty i think it'd be best Newcastle moving forward and for Luque's career if he goes in the January transfer window. When he does i'll wish him all the best and hope it works out better at his next club. that way the endless debate on whether or not he's good enough can end, Newcastle can move on (with a few million in the bank from getting rid of him) and we can buy players (who ever they may be) who at least look interested and up for it on the pitch. |

Football / NUFC / Floater's Guide to Newcastle from Footy365

piss taking bunch of bastards...still gave me a laugh though.

Thinking of taking up this trendy new thing they call football, but not sure which team to support? Perhaps you're a politician with votes to win, or an entertainment artiste who's looking to have obscene songs sung about your sexual predilections...
Whatever the reason, Football365 is here to help. Cast an eye over our handy checklist. If you answer 'Why-Aye Man' to five of the ten questions, read on for our 'cheat sheet' and off you go...
The Checklist
1) When you're at an outdoor entertainment event and the temperature has dropped below freezing, do you feel an unaccountable urge to strip to the waist?
2) Do you prefer your team to sign a string of trophy players instead of winning actual trophies?
3) Are you looking for a team whose players have interests outside the game, such as perfecting the ability to park a Ferrari upside down on a swing-bridge?
4) Do you like nothing better than spending your time hanging about in an airport, and then posting on message boards that you've spotted Otmar Hitzfeld, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Alessandro Nesta and Gigi Buffon signing contracts in the VIP lounge?
5) Are you prepared to spend an entire midweek afternoon standing outside a football stadium in driving sleet, in order to welcome the new manager whose sacking you'll be demanding in one year's time?
6) Is your idea of a good atmosphere to sit in brooding silence for minutes at a time, before bellowing like a moose in rutting season when the referee doesn't give you that vital throw-in at the halfway line?
7) Do you like the idea of watching football with a fat man's naked belly resting on the back of your neck?
Eschewing the new fancy-dan, multi-millionaire playboy chairmen, are you looking for a club with the more traditional type who looks like Clive James after a car crash?
9) Is your desire to fit in with your fellow fans so strong that you welcome a club policy that refuses entry to anyone who isn't wearing at least seven items of replica kit from the club shop?
10) Women, do you sport a fake tan so vivid that people think you're an evacuee from Chernobyl? Men, do you find an F cup pinches a bit around the bosom?
Five or more? Well, here you go...
Hello...The Phone-In Phrases
"Hello, is that 606? I just wanted to say the Geordie fans were fantastic today man, like!"
"Hello, is that TalkSport? Alan Shearer was - still is, mind! - the best centre-forward in the country and an absolute legend and always wanted to elbow people in tha heed an' take penalties for THIS club, rather than go somewhere else and win stuff."
"Hello, is that 606? Newcastle United are a massive club. MASSIVE, I'm tellin' yez."
"Hello, is that Radio Newcastle? Geordie fans are the best in the country. By. A. Mile, man."
Get The Accent
The simplest way to get the Geordie accent is to eat one of the superheated, scalding pies served at St James', which strip the roof of your mouth and soon have you shouting angrily and speaking authentically.
You Are The Pundit
It's all about passion in the north east. Look at that sea of black and white.
Club History
Newcastle United Football Club was formed in 1992 by Kevin Keegan.
How To Fit In With A Single Sentence
Me fatha's boss's plumber's proctologist drinks in the same wine bar as the instructor what taught the lad Eto'o Spanish, like, and he swore BLIND that he divvent wanta go to Barceler-na in the first place and apparently he's comin' through the Newcastle first chance 'e gets.

they have got on the curriculum in some places in the USand are trying to get Evolution banned.
it's the same with some schools in the UK that are 'privately' funded (i can't rememebr the correct term).one of them is funded by a christian fundamentalist who strongly believes in Creationism and apparently trying to force that in into the teaching at the expense of evolution.
it was on Richard Dawkins' 3 parter about Religion Vs Science. |
