Friday night lights!
The game was played at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena and a reasonable crowd of 20,000+ turned out to watch the action and saw the youngsters throw away the lead twice before turning the screw on their Macedonian counterparts. Theo Walcott went off with a dead leg and will be a doubt for the full squad for the game against Belarus.
There were a number of good performances in a pulsating affair but some questionable defending which will have left Pearce seething. But of course the main focus for us in the game was young Andy C and he didn’t disappoint with a brace in the second half.
I’ve probably been quite critical of Andy Carroll in terms of his ultimate potential but he’s been getting on with the jpb of trying to find the net and he’s been relatively successful and these two goals will do wonders for his confidence and after dropping him from the first eleven, Chris Hughton will have been given for food for thought. Here’s a match report from The Daily Mail.

..Why not get a 
Fantastic game to watch, football as it should be played, two players looked head and shoulders above the rest, Jack Wilshire and Andy Carrol.
Carrol has the look of another Duncan Ferguson with his combination of power and good touch, i thought his chipped pass for the last goal was as good as anything else he did in the game.
We have to be taken over as Ashley wont resist a good offer for Andy and it will be a shame if his best years are at another club.
I saw the game from 2-1 onwards (I hadn’t known it was on and luckily was channel hopping when I came across it on Setanta USA). I thought Andy had a cracking game and was devastating in the air. Plus he laid off quite a few shots for others. Very impressed.
My greatest fear now is that Ashley is just going to hang on to the club ans asset strip it a bit more come the January window. Sigh!
I just saw the game from 2-1 (I didn’t know it was on and was channel hopping and found it on Setanta USA) I thought Andy had a cracking game. He was excellent in the air and also laid off quite a few good balls for other players.
My main worry now is that Ashley may decide to keep Newcastle until January so he can asset strip the club a bit more. Sigh.
Thanks for everything Andy – the Fat Man will already be working out how much he can screw the so-called “big clubs” for when they come knocking in January. We’ll miss you mate.
YOU FCB
GET OUT OF OUR CLUB
aye this lad’s heading for the top – no bout a dout it -would ash sell him ? , i think he probably would.
Aye well done Christmas.

Why would a rumour like this be going round in the Ukraine?
Ambani anyone? Doubt it.
ambani is a toon fan i think.
Yes he is Hitman, there were big rumours about him buying us the 1st time Ashley put us up for sale. I actually emailed him asking him to buy us!
aye but hes also been linked with everton and liverpool.
Well we’d be cheaper so hopefully he’d buy us! Actually saying that, i wonder how much Everton would be?

Everton would be about £120-150m
Although if you buy Everton you would have to pay off their debt and then build a new stadium for about £300m.
Ambani was looking at Leeds at the same time he was allegedly looking at us so he annot be that bothered about a lower division team.

Abuse of the quick comments functionality!!

I’m still at work. Going to get a beer out of the fridge in a minute, as there’s nee food left in the cupboards and the chocolate cupboard is locked. Will it be rude if I crack open a bottle of champers or would it be more rude, if I didn’t?

Isn’t that Ambani fella involved with QPR now? Word is he’s a Toon fan and has been pictured wearing the shirt…not that that means anything!
If there are no other volunteers I’ll throw my hat in the ring for the part of Bernard Bresslaw, in the “Carry on Blogging” movie!

Excelsior says:

It’s Lakshmi Mittal who is at QPR. I believe Anil Ambani is worth more but that’spaper talk.
Not sure about wearing a shirt like…

Hang on! What sort of job have you got were you can crack open the tinnies?
he works for newcastle and scotish brewery stu
The best kind Stu, the best kind.
I would probably wouldn’t have cracked it open if I wasn’t in the office on my sweeney but you know…..
Tescos Premium Lager like. Pure muck really.
The champers is looking inviting. But that’s because I’ve got nowt on my stomach and I already feel a bit light-headed.
Linekers Bar is cranking up. I can see myself sacking this off and heading down to meet up with the Hen Do.
I thought you worked for NUFC for a minute. Then I could excuse anyone from drinking on the job!
Just bear in mind that other thread Stu
“Stuart79 says:
October 10, 2009 at 3:01 pm”
Mittal, of course! Well spotted Stu, so Ambani’s still available to tap for some cash….outstanding.
If we’re gonna get this “Carry on Blogging” movie on it’s feet we need a script….and some gals! How’s about Jillybean volunteering for Babs Windsor? Geordie Deb as Liz Fraser? Any more for any more?
We’ve already got the theme! The many comedic shenanigans involved in setting up a blog….bang up to date and ripe with comic possibility….missus, OOOWWERR!
And is that BBM is see, working on a Saturday and drinking on the job (FFNNARR FFFNNARR)….I say hat’s off to you sir!
Why should you cultivate a hangover on your own time!!
Well I’ve had a complete and utter disaster on the gee gee’s today.
Only two to go and already lost £300!
I’ll not give a flying if we get bought by some filthy rich Indian!
Stu – that is a sh*tload of money. You could have paid for the labour to fix my car engine!!!
Carlsberg or not to Carlsberg?? Getting picked up at 5.
The can smells faintly of sick though. There are glasses but is it OK to do that kind of thing with a can these days?

You’re not wrong but if me next one comes in (not likely) I’ll be quids in.
Cans of lager are left all over the place for rats to p1ss on and watever else they wanna do.
On that note I’m going to crack open a bottle of Bordeaux, let it breath and drink the little bastard while watchin England.
Definitely Excelsior, if I can be Babs Windsor, I’m in
Anyone got a web link to the England game today?
Cheers, Jilly Bean
PS What does ‘CFC’ stand for?

Jill, on this site it stands for “Cookies For Comments”. It’s there to stop automatic spam from robots.
Stuart, no comment.
Stuart
Regarding workys comment think more a younger Barbara Windsor than Hattie Jacques.
Think Workys in a strop with me hence sarky comment re Hattie Jacques.
To Norn Iron Mag, thanks for the info.
To Tino, Happy Birthday!
To Worky, Does the fact my post was blocked by ‘CFC’ mean there is a problem with my computer sending something ‘hidden’ that it shouldn’t?
Also what about Fenella Fielding (If I remember her name correctly), for Deb. She was in ‘Carry on Screaming’ which was a classic. Anyone want to be ‘Od Bod’? LOL

“To Worky, Does the fact my post was blocked by ‘CFC’ mean there is a problem with my computer sending something ‘hidden’ that it shouldn’t?”
No, I’m sure it isn’t that, Jill. Basically, a small, harmless cookie gets passed to your machine so it can tell if you’re a human or a robot. If your browser security is on a fairly paranoid setting, it will probably reject cookies, you’ll be classed as a robot, and your comment will be diverted for later review in the spam bin. You don’t seem to have any problem usually though, so it was probably just one of those things that happens every once in a while.
“Anyone want to be ‘Od Bod’? LOL”
batty’s definitely ‘Od Bod’, Jill.

Goodnight Roy.
Alreet lads and lasses. International breaks are boring. Anyone think a takeover will be done before January (if at all?). Need some more players and I can’t see Mike stumping up any money for transfers.
Jillybean: right then….a remake of “Carry on Screaming” it is! Cast members required:
Valeria (Fenella Fielding)…Jillybean
Doris Mann (Angela Douglas)…available
Albert Potter (Jim Dale)….didn’t Bowburnmag have his name down for Jim?
Constable Slobotham (Peter Butterworth)….Available.
Sergeant Sidney Bung (Harry H. Corbett)…..available.
Emily (Joan Sims)….available, although judging by Worky’s harsh assessment of Geordie Deb maybe this would be a good fit for her?
Sockett (Bernard Bresslaw)….well this one’s mine, i’ve got the height and the gormless clock!
Dr. Orlando Watt (Kenneth Williams)….Stardust is a shoo in for this one!
Dan Dann, (Charles Hawtrey)….maybe Stardust could play dual roles?
Doctor Fettle (Jon Pertwee)….available.
Oddbod (Tom Clegg)….Batty, apparently.
Oddbod Junior (Billy Cornelius)….available.
Mr. Jones, owner of dress shop (Frank Thornton).
Right, there you go bloggers. Get yer names down and we’ll get the script sorted…extra kudos for working Toon related stuff into classic Carry on quotes!
Aren’t International breaks dull!

This mornings News of the World (sorry Worky, I know how much you loath the RedTops) reports: “Moat in Toon” Barry Moats bid money (£90m) has been deposited in Ashley’s escrow account. In order to “slow things down” Llambias has jetted off on holiday (although what this pillock has to do with the sale is anyone’s guess) leaving Moat and his people wondering. Best estimates are: sold by…..(drum roll please)….the middle of NOVEMBER!! Just when you’re sure things can’t get any more ridiculous…
This is The News of the World, however, and you can’t even believe the DATE in that paper. Ashley’s slowing things up to smoke out more money, luxuriating in the belief that promotion is in the bag….even if we sell Enrique to Sunderland and Smith to Bolton.

Selling Enrique to the Mackems would improve Ashley’s popularity on Tyneside no end.

I’m not in a strop with you Deb, it’s just that you remind me of Hattie Jacques, ie A stern matron who is obsessed with her work and usually giving me a flea in my ear!
Then again, I suppose that most women are like that anyway!
batty, as you know i am mates with stardust. If theres one tv character who looks and sounds like stardust, its that little squeaky bloke out of ‘aint half hot mum’. I cant recall his character name, but im sure his real name was melvin hays. . Seriously, he is his double. ! Batty, ive been thrown by you comparing yourself to odd job. I have an image of you as being a little skinny, dole walla, radgey charva, wi short back and sides and longer on top, wearing a full tatty tracksuit and rock port boots. Woo hoooo hoo hoooo. . . I can smell your socks from here!
The comment above is stupid, of course it is.
