  1. “That’s it really. Nowt else to say on it except that I’m miffed that ESPN has the Arsenal game as I don’t get ESPN (or at least not yet).”

    There is always ways to get round that problem Hugh.

    To be fair do you really want to have to listen to Craig Burley?

  7. Always had problems with sopcast, might be because I always run PeerBlock. I wouldn’t watch any stream without running that.

  9. there’s a site that charges £2 for any game,any time – perfect for 3pm KOs…. internet feed but always a constant stream – not jerky or slow, but equally not HighDef…cant remember the name, but could find out if people want it…

    No derby game then????

    ===

    Not the away derby in August anyway. The home derby is next March and the only dates we have so far are for the first half of the season.

    The home derby might be on though as we will no doubt give them another thumping.

  12. Didn’t some “Insider” say a new striker was being announced today? I am awaiting with battered breasts.

    “Didn’t some “Insider” say a new striker was being announced today? I am awaiting with battered breasts”

    Sorry G O-T you’ll have to keep battering away because, according to Pardwho, any new striker will have to be aware that,

    “There is a certain genre they have to fit into. And we will be striving for them to fit into that category.”

    Does he actually know what he’s saying half the time ? Any of the time ? :)

  16. Oops did I say “Battered Breasts”, I meant to say baited breath. I was thinking of something else at the time that my missus had promised.

    Mystery genre! I think we are back in the twilight zone! :)

  21. CLiNT, Rom-Com??? I’d be interested to see where the romantic angle is! Is ar$e licking or c*ck sucking in that gendre? :)

  24. …Joey Barton had a Charlie Chaplin moustache, maybe he’s planning on playing him upfront ??

  25. Leicester have spent more than us…..OOOHMYFOOKINGAWD :lol:
    £6.5 million if they land Routledge for £1.5 :)

  27. sirjasontoon says:

    “Leicester have spent more than us…..OOOHMYFOOKINGAWD :lol:”

    Everyone is gonna spend more than us SJT :)

  29. Andy, chicken breasts in batter for tea of course, why what were you thinking?

    SJT I did suggest the other day that perhaps Harper could have the No. 9 shirt. :)

  30. as things stand not only do i worry about our opening few fixtures im now getting seriously depressed at the likeness our squad is looking to that of pardews last season in charge in the top flight and also with the similarities with the west ham squad that got relegated last season ( paper thin squad backfilled with LOTS OF CHEAP FOREIGNERS)
    ALSO
    we still have the enrique sarga?
    we still have simpson at right back????
    campbell needs replacing with either a young auxiliary centre half/fullback to boost the number of defenders?
    we have about 10 midfielders at the club???
    and our new signings are either unproven in the premier league and will need time to bed in or as the norm at sjp there dodgy knees will only alow for a handful of appearances?
    and we are still in desperate need of at least one if not two goal scores up front??
    the only department we are strong in is goalkeepers and centre half’s!!!!!
    dont want to be on a downer and full of doom and gloom but i cant see past any of this and the club only talk about maybe one more signing this summer!!!!

    so far im seeing

    harper(not my choice but he will be our number 1)
    simpson (championship player at best?) and we dont have anyone else!!!!!
    enrique/ferguson
    colo
    taylor
    tiote (if chelsea dont sign him as a replacment for essian?)
    cabye (fantastic signing on paper but will need time to settle and is unproven in the pl)
    jonas/marveraux?
    barton?
    shola (oh my god!!! even nigeria dont use him as a 8th choice striker)
    ba (quality when fit! dodgy knees??)

    insert/delete. gosling guthrie smith taylor abied lovenkrands best krul forster williamson perch (haha) routledge xisco sami ameobi vuckic richarson

    FFS!!! WAKE UP NUFC!

  31. Harper played upfront or midfield once I remember a few years ago.
    Anyone remember who against?
    I forgot.

  33. GeordieDug, I don’t see LuaLua on your list, he hasn’t been sold has he? If not he is my tip to step up and become the new Nzogbia (without the downsides though hopefully).

    Or Airey, Can’t remember seeing him play but he is supposed to be a prospect.

  34. SJT you’re supposed to say

    “Alright class lets hear what the scruffy kid at the back has to say”

  35. Then I say: (beaming proudly)

    “Sir Steve Harper came on as a sub in the 4-1 friendly win against Celtic at SJP in August 2007. He played a small part in the final goal when he passed to N’Zogbia who ran on and slipped the ball to Milner (remember these names ???)who whacked the ball into the net taking the keeper and sixty Celtic supporters behind the goal with him ”

    Then I remember I was doing some drug or other that night so maybe I wasnt entirely correct in my summation :)

  36. @ grumpy old toon fan
    yeah i think lua lua is still there id love him to break though and become a star hes done well for brighton and i think thats his level but i would be more than happy to be proven wrong
    airey has lit up the reserves but i would loan him out for further experience. the club preferred to get kuqui in rather than blood airey though so maybe they dont think hes that good? i have not seen him play but again i would love him to break though but cant see it happening and we are a premier league club and we need a guy who will get us 15 goals a season asap whatever the cost!
    i know hes a dickhead but id like to see bendter playing week in week out he will score you goals! cant see him coming to us though

    Last game, actually only game, Airey played was at Stevenage when Pardwho decided to let all our players play with one hand behind their back and another hand over one eye in an effort to even things up :)

    Unfortunately G O-T Aireys role was not significant !

    Fecking says it all really :(

    I’d love to know how much the club spent, entirely, on Kuqi ?

  39. :lol:
    Sorry Andy I was eating an apple and tidying the tuck shop haha

    Now I want a hundred lines saying Mike Ashley is a Prick By 6.00
    :)

  40. It aint how much they spent on Kuqi it’s how much they spend feeding the fat fooker cookies.

    “Aye Andy, mine too. A laptop would have been useful to put down the back of my trousers on occasion too”

    Funnily enough Hugh the only time I got the cane, all my friends, who were on the opposite side of the quadrant to the Headmasters office, were making stupid “arse smacking” motions even before the dreaded moment arrived.

    I remember the HM dribbling on about something or other and knew I had to keep it in check otherwise I would have burst out laughing. Having managed that the three swipes I got afterwards seemed like nothing at all :)

  46. sirjasontoon says:

    “Top of The Class Andy :) ”

    Is that for getting my lines in on time or for knowing the answer ?

    I recall the friendly against Celtic and remember being in one of the hospitality suites, where you get food and wine before the game. At half time the wine was still flowing freely so I couldnt be sure, when I staggered out after half time, which team was playing in which direction :)

    People told me afterwards I was the life and soul of the party, which is not what the Polis said later! :)

  47. I only got the cane once too, although I had the dreaded ‘dap’ on a number of occasions. My PE teacher dished it out simply for breathing.

  49. 6 of the best, daily. by 9:15am, then they can’t hit you anymore.
    :)
    Then ANARCHY ’til 4:00pm.

    ;)

  50. makes you wonder whether they are lying about the good youth system,they were putting in place.i know not everyone makes it at a football club,but the f**k is happening there?
    harris vuckic,if he’s not good enough yet,will he ever be?
    nile ranger,looks like we’ve done nothing with him,we never even played him,when we were in the second tier.
    what ever happened to the kid that was going to be the greatest thing since cut loaf,aaron spear?,is he still at the club?.
    what happened to the young lad from brazil?,turned up at the training ground,then lived up to his first name,ciao.
    are we being taken for mugs on this also? i remember dracula saying”we take young talent from around the world,and bring them on”.it does just seem like a lot of empty talk from these toerags,as per usual.

    “I only got the cane once too, although I had the dreaded ‘dap’ on a number of occasions. My PE teacher dished it out simply for breathing”

    Aye our PE Teachers were the same ! Indeed when you got the “dap” or slipper as it was in my case, you were then supposed to say “Thank you” afterwards.

    When I was 14 I thought it would be a great idea to get a “pain killing” injection into my posterior just so I could walk away without saying “Thank you” and get “slippered forever” during the PE session and it wouldnt hurt at at all :)

    “Does he actually know what he’s saying half the time ? Any of the time ?”

    To be fair though Andy, most managers do struggle with the English language and often have problems putting across their thoughts in a coherent manner. Have you ever heard or read some of the things Sir Bobby Robson and Kevin Keegan have said about football? :-)

  55. essian rulled out for 6 months

    dont fancy our chances of keeping hold of tiote now!

    “Indeed worky!”

    Who said

    “When Gazza was dribbling, he used to go through a minefield with his arm, a bit like you go through a supermarket.”

    “You can’t do better than go away from home and get a draw…”

    “The good news for Nigeria is that they’re two-nil down very early in the game” ?

  57. Reckon that will take our transfer kitty to mega cash…for agent fees and undersoil heating.

    Tiote £20m
    Carroll £35m
    Routledge £2m
    Jose £13m
    Ranger £2m
    Nolan £5m
    Plus £20m a season MA promised plus the savings on wages.

    Going to be an amazing window this!
    Mike Ashley’s black and white Army!

    We will see little of this Dough.

    “worky,
    The ‘one & only’ SBR!”

    Clint, Bobby was the first quote, the other two were Keegan’s. :-)

  61. Ah!
    caught me out there.
    I shoulda got the 2nd one, i remember him saying that.

    Thought the last one was SBR though, der!

    :)

  62. Roll on August 6th. We may be spared then. Or perhaps left hanging.

    Who knows?

    That was a rhetorical question.
