Unfortunately the opportunities of catching The Toon on tv following relegation are few, in which case have been unable to watch Simpson play lately.
Simpson and Beckford eh !
Guess it`s come down to that hmmmm, maybe we will sign Simpson, no way a third division guy “Beckford” will bring five million, just paper talk !
The others,
Ranger, not ready for the PL, yet.
Carroll, not good enough period, four million for him looks better every day.
Shola, ok fill in striker.
Harewood, battering ram !
Lovenkrands, play him on the right wing, only real winger we have, so why is he playing up front ?
Conclusion, we are in need of a decent striker or two.
Also even as thin as we are on the ground , were still carrying deadwood, has to be be some changes made , big time.

agreed, i like simpson… ithink he has potential and would be a good permanent addition, better than having r taylor at RB anyway, and at the moment us beggars cant be choosers!

appreciate that worky,and yeah, i imagine you need thick skin to persist. but i’m still livid at how he was treated, completely childish

the press have their view of the coined “geordie nation” and said people have opitomised it and the same people bemoan being the football press’ whipping boys

"good to hear worky i’m disgusted at how some people treated Ed, they’re a disgrace" eastend toon, I have run quite a few websites over the years and it's nearly always the same if you have a site with any degree of popularity. I've had allsorts over the years, death threats, malicious DDOS attacks etc. It's just par for the course and you can't take it personally.

Its a shame ed has stopped but as lesh @1 posted , this site seems to have massive potential . As for Simpson , i would love too see him signed permanently . The lad imo has premiership quality and with a couple of seasons back in the prem with us could go on to get England caps . He is definatly worth a fee of 2-3 million and only so low because his contract is running down .

"Worky @8…. may not registration be a good idea to think about?" I'm just monitoring things as they go, lesh. There hasn't really been a serious issue in that department so far, but if there is, I will do something about it.

Well said ESAMIM and Geordie Deb regarding the disgraceful behaviour and abuse Ed was subjected to on his blog. We all know who you are and you should be b**** ashamed of yourselves. I take my hat off to Ed for all his hard endeavour over the past 3 years.

Lets face it Worky would probably have not created this blog had Ed not considered packing it in earlier, when he first mooted that he had had enough.

It might just go along way to nip the imposters and idiots in the bud before they run amok – thus ensuring a degree of quality and good conduct in posts.

"Lesh ‘On another note posted on another thread, yes, a code of conduct and a means of filtering out imposters and those who use more than one name – if that’s possible." People would have to be registered and signed in to post.
