Jet,

It was only a question of who got their first, I've been playing football tonight, so thanks for sorting Denis out!

Poor Diccus, mistaken for a "Barcode". Could have fun with that when I see him on Sunday. Depends of course on which Arsenal turns up on Saturday, and whether the Keegan effect is in full swing yet.

Regards

Nic

Dicuss,

I apologise unreservedly . Two red faces in one night, time for bed I think. Just as well you are humble and have a wicked sense of humour eh!

Denis

Sorry chaps missed this one.

Actually denis is sort of correct I am a great lover of all things Newcastle. I love the Quayside, the links with Baltic and Sage, the music scene, the restaurants, the nightlife, the shops (tho i'm not big on them), the vibe, the culture and the pubs.

Their is very little I don't like about Newcastle, just The footy team, Shearer and Keegan

Come on Sunderland

....So NUFC, BORO + SAFC all together below midtable with 4 points between us ....who'd have thunk it?

..."He's not the messiah he's a really naughty boy"!

The NUFC strategy must now be to finish above Sunderland or face complete derision from their faithful

Happy Hammers?

Yep, pretty happy with that.At least it looks like we are beginning to believe we can win on our own patch.
OTOH, boa- morte. How many chances does he need??
Matt.

yes very happy hammers, the place erupted at the end !!
mark noble is fast growing in stature and confidence unlike the hapless rigamortis (boamorte) who was booed off when subbed which makes me think his days at upton spark are numbered.
thank god!!
scotty

Hi again Dave.
Rumours of Ashton being shown the door as well. It seems a shame to see him go, but he still looked way off the pace last time out. Do you think we'll keep him? Can we afford to offload 2 strikers? (even if one on 'em is rigamortis?)
Matt.

ah the deano saga!
well as i understand it the guys had personal problems including a nervous breakdown when out with injury.
he ended up in the priory by all accounts, he reckons he was just depressed as he thought his playing days were over !
either way there is NO excuse for a pro footballer to return to the club 2 stone overweight ! to me he seems that he is still carrying the injury somewhat....i mean he doesnt seem to run properly - he cant jump for high balls like he once did either.
in other words he aint the same player he once was and in my opinion never will be! its a crying shame but thats how i see it!
why curbs cant or wont see these things is beyond all whu fans.
they didnt even chant his name when warming up last night which is a first.
as for rigamortis he should never pull on a claret n blue shirt again!! never rated the guy when at fulham. he can p**s off back there if they like him so much!!
regards, dave

Thats a shame for Deano, & for us. And for the England team as well.
Being an optimist, maybe, given enough time & expert help, he can still get back to full fitness. Hey, it looks like we are staying up this year, europe still looks to be a bit of a stretch, so put him on the back-burner, give him plenty of time, & get him right for the start of next season.
Matt.

i agree we should concentrate on finishing as high in the league as possible and with wigan and brum as our next games i expect 6 points no less.
i cant see anyone coming in for deano as it stands - would you ?
so it looks like hes stuck with us and vice versa....lets hope he improves and returns next year all guns blazing.
i very much hope so.
regards, dave.
p.s. cant you drive one handed or borrow an automatic ?

Hi mate.
The missus car is an auto, but even then, the indicators/lights etc still ideally need 2 hands as the controls are to the left of the steering wheel. I'm not even sure if its legal to drive in my present state, ie only one hand on the wheel ALL the time. Still, the monthly petrol bill is now halved, which will please the bank manager a bit!
Cheers, Matt.

Looks like beckhams been left out of the england squad. At last we have a manager who can see that playing part time in the USA & ball juggling on a beach does not equate to match fitness, & is not afraid to drop players, regardless of celeb status or sentimentality. Good.
Matt.

What is the 'average' wage per week for a player in the premiership league (eg somebody like Robbie Savage)?

too f****g much if you ask me!!

matt,
i was only pulling your leg mate!

Dave,
believe me mate, sitting here all day long, I've thought about all sorts of "wonder if I can do this, get away with doing that, etc including driving. Unfortunately, the answer seems to keep coming up "computer says no".
Presently considering getting a turbo-trainer so I can do some exercise of some description whilst house-bound. One handed indoor cycling.I must be desperate!!
You've got to laugh though.
cheers, Matt.
