desperate times for the magpies

I heard Mike Ashley wants £100 million for Newcastle, I thought thats a bit fucking steep and then I found out that was only for the football club! I was shocked! :)

on the subject of mcmahon he always reminds me of this steaming pile of shit! "if anyone can macca can" fuck off

"Steve McMahon, he can rap ...but as a manager he was fucking crap!"

Lock up your wives....

I could see him getting on well with Allan Shearer.

After all, he really likes characters who are popular with the fans.

McMahon led takeover and I can see them 3rd tier in 3 seasons.

If I was Ashley i'd rather take the Curly Wurly and run.

Every time I see John Aldridge in that video I think of Roland the Rat.

Plus, during the "our lads are from all over the place" segment it's good to see two men who are unable to "rap" while strutting.

Good times.

I never even knew he had a middle name :)

Sorry, Roland Rat the Rat :)

As far as I'm aware, this isn't another gag at Newcastle's expense - this is legit. Newcastle United's new away kit:

Looks like a boiled sweet!

Bah humbug.

That's possibly the most disgusting looking kit I've ever seen.

Hillarious kit.

Adidas should know better!!! Gulp.

Not that bad, wouldn't mind if that was our away kit this season ;)

if you were blind.

Thats truly awful!

Bananas in pyjamas!

Even Steven Taylor looks vaguely embarrassed by it.....

Will the WAGs be wearing these I wonder?

The funniest thing is on their official site, it says "stylish new outfit available now to pre-order"

oh dear!

I suppose it is stylish if you're a Geordie.

I look forward to seeing that out and about.

Who is that blonde in the pic? Is it Britney Spears? Is it wrong to want a go on the basis of the what she is wearing in that photo?

The file name would suggest you are right Pieman.

And yes, it is wrong. Very wrong.

You know its going to be sung, in some form or other:

One banana, two banana, three banana, four
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Comin' to bring you the Banana Split show
Makin' up a mess of fun, makin' up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for everyone

Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la

Hmm that's what I thought.

You could probably find a better class of bird hanging around Penhill. And that's saying something.

I'm no social class snob, anyone's fair game.

I reckon a posh bird would be quite fun, not a pretend one who was up her own backside, but one who was posh without trying. Sadly finding such a lady in Swindon would probably prove difficult.

You mean a really posh bird that's actually really dirty? Always fancied a bit of that myself...

Like it Dave!

thanks for that.

On a different note.

The match in aid of Sir Bobby Robson's and his charity is under threat because "of the apathy surrounding Newcastle United."

Apparently they've failed to sell 1000 tickets so far. I'm going but it's sad really that they can't acknowledge a great servant to the North East and English football while he's still alive.

If they fail to honour this guy while he's still fighting on then I hope they "do a Sheffield Wednesday/Nottingham Forest/Leeds United".

They might be a big club, but they're not as good as any of those teams were. Though it's not a perfect example, it'd be more akin to a Swindon/Bradford/Wimbledon :)

hahaha very good.

Since their promotion with us in '93 they've experienced 10 or 11 seasons where they've played in European competitions - a little bit different to Swindon/Bradford/Wimbledon.

My point is that selling less than 1,000 tickets for this is beyond disappointing - are 50,000 regulars all on holiday? This game is essentially Robson's 'farewell' and it's a shame that they appear to be protesting about something that holds little relevance to the event.

If its not on the season ticket then they aint interested.

Geordie obsession = keeping season tickets.

Geordie obsesssion = being an irritating cunt who has only supported the club for 15 years - aka Reading

Sorry I know I'm very slow on the uptake (only just seen this one) but Macmoan......Commercial Manager !!!..........WHAT THE FFFF ! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8166024.stm

fnaw, one thing i notice is the last fellow who "won't be buying one for the bairns (i assume that's how it's spelt)"...his lad is wearing a liverpool polo shirt, so i'd imagine he'd not really fancy one?

Anyone listening to this Newcastle Any Sporting Questions thingy on 5Live?

I think someone might kill themselves live on air in a minute.

Has BFJ really been offered a 2 year deal by the Geordies? I'd find that a lot more surprising than him applying for the Swindon job.

BFJ? That's no JFK.

Apparently that offered the job to David O Leary and he turned it down....things must be bad if evne O Leary dosen't want the job

Ashley reconsiders selling up and may look to O'Leary

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/8192035.stm

Mike Ashley is mocking them.

Well Ashley has blown loads of money already, so maybe he just wants to burn the rest by signing up O'Leary?!

Regarding Newcastle. That was quite a poor result for WBA yesterday, they should have been able to put away Newcastle at home.

not without decent strikers, both carol and ameobi are too similar players, andameobis also shit, but they are two tall physical players who can win headers, but they need another pacey striker to play alongside one of them. its like having two billy paynters up front, they need a simon cox to link up with.

Apparently Ashley has put tomorrow as the deadline and if no offers are forthcoming then he will take back over the running of the club and appoint O Leary

God help Newcastle if they have Ashley & O Leary at the helm - susprised he doesnto look to appoint Dennis Wise as manager

Leeds Mark II I think.

and if they couldn't get even worser

Hahaha

What a load of bollocks !!!

44,000 at St James for their game tonight. Fair play.

Higher than all but one of the EPL attendances so far this season.

World class support.

Club withdrawn from sale and Ashley to put in another £20m.

Hughton permanent manager.

Mental.

The only mental thing about that is it taking so long for Ashley to make it official. After their good start to the season there was no way he was going to sell the club, as promotion back to the Premier League will add a massive amount to the value of the club. Even he isn't that big a twat.

It's the extra £20m which is though.

appinting houghton is the cheap option, that said, he has done well soe far, hes not had it easy, not knowing what the deal with the club was, he got his head down and did what he was asked to do, he didnt moan, just got on with it,
think he will do just fine getting newcastle back up, but will be replaced next season, aslong as ashley is commited to the club and throws a bit of cash to bolster the squad in january, they shuold be ok.

Oh dear!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/8342406.stm

I don't get the fus over this. Who cares who sponsors the ground. It'll always be St James' Park to everyone anyway. Just like Candlestick Park remained Candlestick Park despite the best efforts of one of my previous employers (3Com).

They need the cash, though I take the point if Diamandis had just named the county ground Dunwwoody Sports Marketing @  theCountyGround I might be a bit pissed off!

I bloody love sports direct - I ordered some ruuning gear off there website the other day they sent me this HUGE mug as a free gift! its ace!

The sportsdirect.com @ St James' Park Stadium'

Just rolls off the tongue doesn't it!

:)

I have one of those. It's my favourite mug, I reckon it must hold about a pint of tea. :D

I feel like you dont understand that mug until you have one yourself! :)

High 5 to you brother!

Who the hell plays at Candlestick Park?

San Francisco 49ers

You can understand where some of us may have struggled with the reference.

shocking, he doesnt even want the club,
