We are most certainly getting there! Class signing yesterday, come on MA surprise us once more before Feb with a CB and we’ll be tearing the PL a new one!

does anyone have a link to show our fans in their best action? just cant find one that stands out the most!

LOL @ G.

8 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 4:47 PM

were building a quality team

all these players aged between 19 n 26
krul, elliott, simpson, santon, vukic, abeid, tavernier, ferguson, ranger, best, marveux, obertan, tiote, ba, cisse, cabaye, gosling, ben arfa, guthrie, moyo, airey, inman, dummit, kadar, perch

n these players r 27 n over
jonas, colo, willo, staylor, rtaylor

harper, smith n lovenkrands will b moved on soon

9 roblee7 // Jan 18, 2012 at 4:49 PM

anyone else reckon Ashleys kind of looked at what we’ve done this season and though ‘if we can do this with just this amount of quality, probably don’t need too much more to build a top 4 team’? 3-4 quality players? i mean, i wonder if he’s starting to think this football business is easier and not as ‘risky’ as perhaps he’d first thought? I mean, there has been a few mil spent now….cabaye, cisse, santon, ben arfa….its all adding up. i dunno if im in dreamland but im expecting another quality signing this window now, probs just me but seems Ashley might be starting to see some sense

10 G // Jan 18, 2012 at 4:50 PM

@ post 7. I’m sceptical, but for what it’s worth, I hope you are right and I am wrong.

11 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 4:50 PM

roblee7, aye. It’s just you.

12 Ponderous Pardew // Jan 18, 2012 at 4:52 PM

Don’t be silly Alan. He needs to be chucked straight in with Ba, when they return.

13 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 4:52 PM

forgot shola n sammi from that list

roblee7 this has been comin together for a season now but its took a 10mill signing for ppl to wake up n realise what were building here

14 roblee7 // Jan 18, 2012 at 4:55 PM

davybtoon…yer right there….perhaps if board had been a bit clearer on this in the first place they’d have a bit more of a fanbase mind. im loving it though!

15 toonpanda18 // Jan 18, 2012 at 4:56 PM

come on lads??

16 hrocks // Jan 18, 2012 at 4:58 PM

it has just dawned on me

after signing cisse i will no longer wake up in cold sweats from the nightmare of carlton cole signing on deadline day

god bless ashley

Toonpanda18, I’m not sure we understand the question. At least, I certainly don’t. What exactly are you after mate.

19 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:01 PM

if it werent for the acn i think we wud hav great chance of 4th but if we get 5th,6th,7th will hav been an amazing

can someone clarify what places get europa league footie

20 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:02 PM

@davy aye u reckon the neggars would be as excitited bout cisse if he only cost say £5mil? Weve got one of the most exciting lookin teams in the prem n were only 2-3 signings away from being a top lookin outfit exciting times on the tyne!!!!!

21 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:03 PM

just noticed nolan roux has signed for lille n they willing to sell sow

22 Jonty // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:04 PM

Davybtoon – Didn’t think Steven Taylor was 27 yet.

23 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:05 PM

toonarmydownsouth ive said all along neggers wouldnt b complaing if ba n cabaye n marveux n santon had cost 12mill each

24 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:06 PM

jonty wiki is down n i couldnt remember his age so u may b ryt

25 roblee7 // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:08 PM

davy….hmmm, that sounds very much like the cisse situation, they had a replacement signed day before we made our move. hmmm, seems there is something in alot of rumours as the rumours of us moving for cisse last transfer window are true…and we’ve been linked with sow how many times??? i’ve also just been reading that shaqiri is guna b available for 12 million euro, liverfool n man u after him….surely we should make a move for that price? think with the players we have at the club now, they could be enough to tempt even best young players

26 G // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:08 PM

ST’s age is 25 I think. His squad number is 27 though, that might have made you think that?

27 hrocks // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:09 PM

davybtoon

europe depends on who wins cups and who are runners up

http://www.premierleague.com/content/premierleague/en-gb/fans/faqs/who-qualifies-to-play-in-europe.html

sow is away to galatasry if u believe twitter

28 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:10 PM

Davy sonetimes ppl think if a player hasnt got a big price tag there not worth a toss sad really were building a side capable of europe next season amd for some reason these ‘fans’ are determind to slate the club and our players muppets

29 Alinufc // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:11 PM

sure Pardew wil try and introduce him slowly with a sub appearance in second half, not sure if i can wait that long but in Pardew I trust!!!

30 Magpies-till-d3ath // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:11 PM

Davybtoon- 18- if we were to get sow. I’d definately climb to the top of the sports direct arena. NAKED!!!!

31 newcben // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:12 PM

if these rumors are true of aly cissokho and xherdan shaqiri are true i really think we can push for top four and this is coming from a real pessimist of a fan. Id love another CB as well but think that is getting greedy for one transfer market and the three signings would cost around £25-30m

——————-Krul——————–
Santon—–Colo–STaylor—–Cissokho
Ben Arfa—-Cabaye—-Tiote—-Shaqiri
————-Cisse———Ba————–

good options to change things up as well with Jonas, Best, Vukcic, Ameobi, RTaylor, Marveux.

32 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:13 PM

Think were drifting in to dream land hear lads cisse sow and shaqiri all in 1 window!!!!!!

33 ToonIcon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:18 PM

Sow (who i rate really highly) will be an epic signing where ever he goes

34 hrocks // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:20 PM

lads i think we could be in for a good window because ashley has gone on a diet. we have all seen the pictures of how thin hes looking

now what he has done is everytime he fancied a pie/sweets/lobster/fancy wine he has put the cash in a jar. so far he has saved £50m. his ket money will now go on players

35 roblee7 // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:20 PM

toonarmydownsouth….haha, let the lads enjoy this excitement while it lasts….im thoroughly expecting something devastating to happen this window aswell, just to balance us out, haha….i got a bad feeling about one of either Krul, Tiote, Ba or Cabaye, and I think it’ll most likely be the most promising goalkeeper we’ve had in a long time. If not Mr. T. Not being a pessimist, i’m on a high with our squad at the mo, just wouldn’t be surprised if someone leaves at least

36 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:21 PM

i would hav sow like but i wasnt suggesting were after him jus saying lille r gonna sell

37 CaptainGeordie // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:21 PM

How much would Sow cost us ? I doubt we would buy him.

38 Jail for Ashley // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:21 PM

Fair play to MA for backing Pards with a signing like this,maybe MA was waiting to see what Pards was capable of before letting him spend a few quid,it would be great to bring in a centre back even on loan and to see MA sitting next to Pards during a LIVE press conference,that would top a perfect month for me.(and not selling anyone of note)

39 ToonIcon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:22 PM

Sow being linked with 12 million move to fenerbache
also lille have told manc usa and chelski Hazzard’s price is £35 mill

40 DoctorZelig // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:22 PM

Have not seen it mentioned anywhere, but did no one notice that when mentioning our quality players Pardew did not mention Tioté…. Is he leaving us soon and is that why we have spent 9+ mil on Cisse?

Is he leaving? I hope not….

Cissé did not mention him either as a french speaking player he could get support from…

41 GeordieTwo // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:23 PM

Cisse is an excellent sighing especially if we can get Ba to sign a new contract without a release clause. Press are claiming now that the release clause is only valid in the summer not now so that takes some of the pressure off if true. Now concentrate on a good CB 26 or under but with a good amount of experience Llambias. Can’t believe we got Cisse for as little as 7.5M pounds if true? Why sell for that little when they were asking for 14 M pounds last summer? They must be truly desperate.

42 newcben // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:23 PM

id much rather Shaqiri than Sow even though i do rate Sow. I think we need better wide men, Jonas is class as a work horse but he lacks end product and i feel he would be a better impact player. Maybe in the summer when we are playing Champion League get Marvin Martins as well……..*defo dream land now*

43 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:23 PM

lads in all honesty i think there using the sponsor money from virgin money to fund this window n if reports r true that is around 20mill so we hav 10 to spend if my theory is ryt

44 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:25 PM

DoctorZelig

He didn’t metion Colo, Santon, Krul, Jonas or Marveaux either lol.

I’m fairly sure he was just talking about attacking players

45 ToonIcon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:25 PM

we thinkweve got it hard for players being linked with other clubs Lille have been decimated in the last two windows
impresively though Lille still near top of ligue 1

46 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:26 PM

davy

You know that’s not how our club works though. All the stuff about “transfer budgets” is nonsense. The way I see it, if a player we need is available for a price we think is acceptable, we’ll go for it – as shown by Cisse

47 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:27 PM

if we went marvin martin we wud get him hes havin a poor season

dont think anyone will leave weve got quality players now u lot need to realise barton, nolan werent wanted carroll was a one off offer that couldnt b turned down, jose is the only one i think they wanted to keep but once they realised he wouldnt sign a deal they had to sell him

48 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:27 PM

Also, so basically if Liverpool win the League Cup and finish 6th, then 7th qualifies for Europe :O

49 brobrotwins // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:29 PM

i think we have all the big players were gunna get this window i do think however we will get a defender and maybe a youngster hope im wrong though

50 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:29 PM

tds aknow we dont do transfer budgets but i think pardew has told ashly we need push on we gotta chance of europe this season

51 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:29 PM

davy

You won’t be saying that if we do sell players this window – you’ll be making up more reasons and excuses.

I’d just keep your mouth shut on bold statements like “we won’t sell anyone” until the window shuts, otherwise you may well end up looking pretty stupid

52 newcben // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:30 PM

Iv got a feeling Cisse had a term in his contract where he could leave on a free if Freiburg get relegated and with them being bottom of the Bundesliga they felt they had to sell and not risk getting nothing for him at the end of the season. Thats the only reason i can see them selling him below his market price.

53 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:30 PM

tds so we need liverpool to win that cup bcoz i really want europa league

54 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:32 PM

Fair play to Blackburn if they refuse to sell Samba.

He signed a contract last year, and happily accepted the captains armband. Absolutely disgraceful that he’s publicly handed in a transfer request in January.

See out what you finish, that’s the way I see it. If we let go of players in the summer, it’s easier to take – rather than half way through a season when we’re actually accomplishing something special

55 Jail for Ashley // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:32 PM

davyb
how much was the Virgin deal in the end ?

56 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:33 PM

davy, unfortunately yeah – looks like we’re cheering on Liverpool now ahaha. Go Carroll!

57 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:33 PM

tds how am gonna look stupid it my own opinion that no one will leave am not claiming to kno anything its jus what i think will happen, so does that mean if no one is sold all the ppl that were saying they wud b look stupid

58 ToonIcon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:33 PM

the way Arsenal are flooding goals i can see us finishing above them even before we signed Cisse
also think we can get above a poor bindipper side
maybe even chelski although that may be pushing it a lil this season

59 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:34 PM

jail not confirmed but 10mill a season r the reports

60 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:34 PM

davy

Yeah, to be honest I think they would lol. Just like the people on here – as recent as yesterday morning – boldly proclaiming “We won’t buy anyone this window. Any of you that think we will are idiots”

61 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:35 PM

Virgin deal was 20mil over 2.5 years

62 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:36 PM

i know ppl say they dont like europa league but id love it n defo away to keep our top players as am sure most of them wud love to play in european compition

63 carr // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:36 PM

was thinking we’re probs going to be surprised by the next signing, someone who we’ve been watching for a while but looked dead in the water, like cisse. maybe the peiters deal is still on, i know he’s injured but he can play cb and fullback?

64 Ollieh51 // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:36 PM

Loving Cissé’s addition to the banner!

65 ToonIcon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:39 PM

carr @ 60 i honestley believe we’ll be in for Pieters in the summer and probably Douglas from twente as he’s on a free
i still think we may get cissokho this window

66 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:39 PM

i think we will sign prior n a centre back

67 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:39 PM

A Europa League spot would so wonders for the younger players at the club as we would have to use more of our squad. Experience in Europe for a youngster is invaluable, it will bring them on a lot quicker. Also it will prove to the players that we already have and any that we are looking at that this club has ambition

68 GeordieTwo // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:39 PM

That sounds right newcben. I still can’t believe there weren’t a number of larger offers for him from other teams? I could see us having Ba as making some difference but wages are a big deal and I can’t imagine we offered him more than 50K a week. That will be a huge increase for him as the wages in Germany are quite low but still surprised some desperate teams below us (won’t mention any names, mackems, mackems, mackems) didn’t go after him big time.

69 Tino3Barca2 // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:40 PM

Let’s not get too carried away, remember this is the same management that sent us into the season with 2 fit centerbacks and only one recognised fullback with PL experience and taking a massive gamble up front that is thankfully paying off big time. Although I’m really excited about the players we are signing we are still one or two injuries away from crisis in defence again. Need a young CB and FB or a t the least player like A hughes/Carragher for eg but young who can cover both positions.

70 ToonIcon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:40 PM

forgot about prior davy add him to cissokho for this window lol

71 brighter // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:41 PM

Look at far left of the banner. lol

72 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:43 PM

lads this rumour is starting to gather pace on twitter but were close to signing rhys williams from boro for 4mill shud b done in next 24hours

73 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:43 PM

Really cant see ba tiote or cabaye leaving this window think to be fair ba is a big part if cisse signing tiote wont sign for any1 whilst at the ACN and cabayes barely had time to unpack!!! Captain colo loves the toon timmy krul has worked long and hard in the rankings for years here cant see him bolting after half a season in the first team only player i can see going is simmo if he hasnt signed a contract

74 GeordieTwo // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:43 PM

Good points T3B2 I agree we absolutely need a quality CB in this window. We are as thin as possible at that position. An injury to Colo would be a disaster. Thankfully Willo has played well after coming back but who do we have to replace either of them? Nobody of any quality as far as I can tell after we tried Perch and Simpson in there and Pardew definitely doesn’t rate Kadar or he would have gotten some minutes while Willo was still out.

75 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:44 PM

i am not claiming to kno this am jus telling you whats on twitter

76 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:44 PM

davybtoon – If thats true, would make a lot of people very happy

77 carr // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:44 PM

@62, yeah your probs right. tbh i think the best thing we could do is bring in a cb on loan with an option to buy now, just for cover till the summer then try get diuglas on a free or another quality cb, especially as you get alot of money for qualifying for eruope. that must be ashleys aim, hes seen that we have a real chance to push for top 6 and get that bonus, who knows how much the other teams are going to strengthen in the summer. also i really would love a good run in the FA cup, never been to wembly

Arsenal will finish above us. Experience is key from here on in. Assuming the two Mancs are top 4, I can see Spuds and Arsenal taking the other 2 spots, with Chelsea missing out. I would love us to finish above the scousers.

We can’t start dropping points now – obvious as that sounds. No excuses. We have enough in Best/Shola/Arfa to pick up points in the meantime.

81 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:47 PM

@WLtoon had heard that but heard they didnt want him til the summer

94 stk85 // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:55 PM

if krul goes, which i hope he doesn’t, mainly coz we’ve nutured him for 6 years, but good first half of season (sold someoine who performed similar last year i recall) we should whack a 6 nmill bid in for vorm straight away.

but please please please let timmy stay

95 ToonIcon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:57 PM

i can’t see why Krul would wanna leave for the spuds especially as we will finnish above them next year with floppy chops either in jail or managing england

96 Jail for Ashley // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:57 PM

I honestly dont think that Spurs have that kind of money and especially for a goalkeeper.

99 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:59 PM

To sell one of our established players now would be plain stupid, why would we sign a 10mil striker to take us to the next level only to sell a player that would take us backwards???

Even from a business point of view it would not make sense, we have the possibility of making a Europa League spot which would give the ‘Sports Direct’ brand massive coverage so Ashley would make not only from the club’s progress in Europe hence more revenue and also from his own spots direct business

hainesy – Just Twitter mate, but Pardew is known to have watched the lad

104 drongo // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:02 PM

I dont think Krul will go – he looks like hes enjoying himself, hes ni the form of his life, and hes getting noticed by the Dutch squad

But, if he does, and Del boys etc decide to take the money – they could probably pick up someone like Ben Foster or Robinson for a fraction of that.

107 scottoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:03 PM

Of all the players mooted to be coming to the Toon during the summer window, I rated Cisse the highest. Absolutely delighted that he is aboard and can’t wait to see the Ba – Cisse partnership flourish.

As for our CB situation, I have always thought it was going to be difficult to get someone through the door. Having said that, I really like the look of Ywanga Mbiwa (sp?). Very controlled, reads the game well and is still young. If the powers that be can get that one done, it would be a very happy January!

108 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:04 PM

wud spurs not b more interested in vorm he nearly as good n higher up in the dutch national squad n probably cheaper

Why wouldnt auld Bagpuss go after Vorm,who at the moment is probably just as good as Krul and would probably be a lot cheaper and easier to prise away,and I’m not buying into this MA having a special relationship with Spurs malarky.

115 Sgt. Heagerty // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:09 PM

Let’s be realistic lads, champions league is a stretch this season just simply cuz of our depth and missing three key players I’n Africa for 6 games, it’s still possible but don’t want everybody thinking we failed if we don’t make it, I think top 6 has to be our goal. The Europa league would be ideal for us as it would allow us to get back into playing I’n Europe with a better chance of success once we get there. Also I think that the fa cup is there to be won if we have an honest go at it, correct me if I’m wrong but winning the fa cup gets you a champions league spot right? Somebody if you don’t mind, could you please explain the Europe spots and how they work I’n England as far as places for league finish and cups?

For me Vorm is more of a Shay Given Goalie, good shot stopper but enjoys his goalline a little bit too much (short arse), Krul comes and claims, remember Stoke game away, brave and commanding and sitll a kid for a keeper, much better prospect than vorm for me, must keep him.

119 mattyNUFC // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:13 PM

Sow? Even hypothetically, no thanks. He’s slow and he’s a poacher. He only really started to shine with the emergence of Cabaye, Hazard anyway…

Shaquiri? for 12m, I’d rather spend less on a better player who’s only a year older: Hoilett. Hoilett seems like a good kid too, unlike Shaquiri

120 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:14 PM

Vorm would cost a fortune for anyone wanting to buy him. Swansea are a club that are financially well off, so don’t need the money, also Vorm could be the key to keeping Swansea in the league which is worth a hell of a lot more than any transfer fee

127 hainesy // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:20 PM

I’d personally love to see us shift some dead wood. Even just
Out on loan.

Smith OUT
Loven OUT
Xisco – don’t even get me f’ing started on him

Any chance of a bargain winger like Hoilett or Moses would do fine.
Nathan Dyer is going to be the next big thing that’s for sure. He’d be awesome but expensive.

Any of the young CB’s we’ve been linked with would do me! Decent back-up until one of the CB’s gets banned or injured then they step up and make it their spot.

Very exciting 13 days ahead. May not have been saying that had it not been for yesterday’s coup.

130 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:22 PM

Krul will not be sold simply because Forster is in talks with Celtic about a permanent move and Harper is expected to go out on loan so we’d be left with Elliott and Ole Soderberg.

anyone see that happening???

131 hrocks // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:23 PM

why would Krul want to leave???

hes been here since he was 15/16 and has learned his trade here
hes fought hard to become our number 1 and now hes playing out of his skin
all his friends are hear and newcastle is his second home
i could understand the move if he was mid 30s but hes just a young kid at the start of his career
i think Krul will be here foe a while yet

132 GAZ09 // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:24 PM

Carling cup = Europa
5th and 6th in league = Europa

133 Sgt. Heagerty // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:25 PM

Krul is our keeper for the next ten years at least, his kicking needs work but he is young and already I’n the top 5 at least, most keepers don’t come along this fast, no way we should sale him under any circumstance cuz he will be worth double next year, wouldn’t sale him period cuz if how well he works with simmo colo

you can keep europe for me if we lift the FA cup, not bothered, get that trophy monkey off our back and many years in Europe will become common place. Dreaming of competing for champions league next year. Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, chelsea, spuds all getting worse for one reason or another, if Man city dont win league they might even cause unrest by sacking there divi manager, roll on good times. Who would have thought we would be the most stable club for season 2011-2012.

135 Tino3Barca2 // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:25 PM

Krul loves it here as much as anyone IMO. Can’t see him leaving for
Spurs, he’s grown up here, had an amazing debut and is now out no 1. I think we’re in a good place with players leaving, smashing man u has taken us back to the feel good feeling of the season’s start. If we can get through the next 4 games unbeaten I think well finish quite strongly
with nothing to fear. We could do with another boost like colo signing, another player, all these things add up to build confidence in where we are going as a club.

We need another CB simple.

Mbiwa would be great and hopefully pick up Douglas in the summer on a free.

A bit out of left field but Issac Vorsah is a young beast of a CB, ex team mate of Ba at Hoffinhiem. He’s not the finished article but he’s as good as Willo in the air and has more pace than all our CBs. If collo was teaching him for a year he could be pure class.

As for wide players Holliet, but we’ll only get him when blackburn go down……

Think with Ba dropping off, and Cisse playing on the last man, opposition defences wont know what to do, potentially going to leave Cisse one on one looking for lovely sliderule passes down the channels for Cisse to pounce onto and strike loads of goals,
Hope Pardew doesnt get a touch of the Santons with the lad and makes him weight for 3 months before he plays him, in the mean time dropping unnessary points, with Shola or Besty playing, dont mind if he starts playing Benny as withdrawn striker though.

Toite hasn’t reached the highs of last year but when him and Saylor were in the team we had the best defence in the league.

Peopel keep talking about a new left back or right back. Santon is a left back and that is now his postion nailed down. Simpson is doing a grand job at right back and Pardew has already commented that Travener is as good as Simpson so no new right back will be coming in. Santon can be covered by ferguson or Raylor (quality team utility player). We need a new young promising centre back who can progress over next 2 years to become collo’s full time replacement. I’d like to see a new cb by end of Jan and we are flying i beleive that every position of the team should have 2 players fighting for starting line up with a few extra utility players.

krul/elliot
simmo/taverner

saylor/willo
santon/ferguson
tiote/abeied

where is everybody from last night, typical fair weather bloggers. No doubt when we make our next outrageous signing they will all be back on here, jumping back on the bandwagon, started supporting the toon when keegan arrived i bet, go and follow City or chelsea i say, w#nkers.

216 Rotonda heights // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:12 PM

Who thinks that Pardew may get Manager of the year. I mean it’s pretty amazing what he’s done.

Rotonda you are so funny, never noticed that minor detail, thanks again.

220 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:18 PM

So has anybody told davybtoon that Steven Taylor is 25 yet?

And can somebody explain what this “Mackem’s paid for Cisse’s flight” is about?

221 Toontappy // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:18 PM

I’m at Wrexham watching the game,if your watching on TV,the Toon will get the seated end behind the goal 2300 seats…as for the game Brighton playing some nice stuff but Wrexham working their socks off…

222 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:19 PM

Dannyo there’s a few other ppl on twitter been saying that Rhys Williams rumour aswell

223 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:20 PM

Evening Lads,

Still buzzing from the signing of Cisse yday been winding the mackems up at work today haha Oh he’s shit now apparently..

Rhys Williams will be a cracking signing can play in a few positions and is a real worker and a good battler + have we ever had an Aussie playing for us before? Oh and we aint even made a bid apparently

Whats this about Shaqiri? Thaz no chance we could get him not yet anyways too many bigger clubs would offer straight away, would love him though he’s the swiss answer to ArfaMessi.. but in all serioussness why pay £10/£12million when we can get a cracking and proven prem winger who is only a few month older in Hoillet? who it would be easier to get aswell and would cost less less than half?

224 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:21 PM

Thump I cudnt remember how old he was

225 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:21 PM

Then will someone do some bloody moderating?

230 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:25 PM

Im secretly hoping Senegal and Ivory Coast have shockers and get knocked out in the group stages haha but while they having shockers im hoping Ba/Cisse and Tiote are the best players so it doesnt make them as depressed haha

231 Rosted Pork // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:26 PM

Magpies-till-d3ath – It wouldnt be that if he was signing for ther team though haha

234 eastend toon // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:30 PM

by all accounts from the commentary, the pitch is awful

235 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:32 PM

Liverpool sign a new striker from Nigeria. On the first day of training, Kenny Dalglish picks up a ball and says: “Ball.” Then does a kicking motion and says: “Kick.”Then he points to the goal and says “Goal. Understand? Kick! Ball. GOAL!” the Nigerian says “Excuse me Mr. Dalglish, I can speak perfectly good English.” Dalglish smiles and says “Sit down, soft lad – I’m talking to Andy Carroll.”

236 Rosted Pork // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:32 PM

Wrexham player manager DOVE?? Cheating pr*ck

242 Whos_SuperMac // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:42 PM

On the Pardew for manager of the year point. Don’t think there’s any chance of that, unless we win the league like, but if Rednapp gets in deep doo doo for tax evasion they’ll look over him & the next best English man in line would be, in my opinion Pards. Could Mike Ashley stop him taking the job.

243 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:42 PM

@GT89: Think he got pissed off with the Brighton players diving at every possible contact.

Here’s another one for you then check

The owners of the Costa Concordia say the next Captain will be guaranteed never to hit anything. Andy Carroll starts work on Monday,

244 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 8:44 PM

Reckon it’ll be Roy Hodgson tbh Whos_SuperMac.

Either one of these teams Wrexham/Brighton we shouldnt have any trouble, im actually suprised pardew isnt there watching

261 check the toastie // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:01 PM

IFC Toon, that team certainly looks the bees knees, however swap santon over to RB and play young Fergie LB, swap Hoilett for Marvaeux or Jonas and we are already their with a bit of tinkering, no purchases required. Gud stuff eh. The return of the entertainers. woo hoo………..

*and expats? with expats

263 eastend toon // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:02 PM

GT89, the wrexham pitch is dire,

kinda hoping we play brighton in the next round the more i think about it

264 cyprus // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:03 PM

I hope AP can handle all these stars, as he definitely doesn’t have this kind of experience on his CV. Now he has to make sure HBA is happy (simple AP, play the lad, he turns games, fact) and he has to convince MA to give BA a better contract. Although I’m not sure how much clout he has. I recall he said there wouldn’t be any CF. Now did he lie or was he taken by surprise? To business: Can we do a top 4? Not impossible.

265 IFC.Toon // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:03 PM

Hahaha check the toon good shout I rate fergie but I would prefer him on the wing. Maybe Jonas at LB ?

266 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:03 PM

Those people are just daft mate, wouldn’t let them get to you – the Nazi’s are dead and buried (quite literally in most cases) and given that most white supremacist material is banned in Germany… well, y’know.

269 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:07 PM

IFC.Toon, now I’m well p!ssed off. all because of bplan and me droping the German part of my name. I’ve missed us signing. Cissokho and Hoilett.

280 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:14 PM

Nah check the toastie, name calling is sadly part and parcel here. But I’m fed up of being called German etc. If I was a German then I would call my self “German Mag/pie. But being a Geordie is a birth right and I am proud to have that right

I know more big signings sounds exciting, but I would much rather see some of the youth squad come through and make an impression on the 1st team squad. The likes of Vukic, Abeid and Ferguson just get shoved down the line if more & more “BIG” signings come along. Look at Chelsea & Man City loads of money and absolutely no soul and no class. Carefully selected quality players will bring the whole squad on to a new level, especially the young lads.

308 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:39 PM

Ok…opening myself up for a bit of geordie stick here….can someone explain the “wor” this and that to me. Haven’t a clue

309 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:39 PM

JfA, I can handle being called a w**ker. I can always answer that with. “Course I am. My ex made me into one.” But I can’t handle being called Nazi. I was an active member of AntiFa. Till they started to go over the top. I live in Germany and Nazi’s are very very real here.

318 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:45 PM

There’s a lot of petty,childish insults on here I’ve been somehow roped into a bit of a an insult feud with somebodies son,but I thought it was an unwritten rule that,racist politcal and religious topics were taboo on here and so they should be.

338 MacToon // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:53 PM

Ibizatoon, as you replied I’ve made an observation on this blog, the neggars are generally called this because of their general unhappiness at Ashley through the years yet these same people can be amongst the most positive when discussing the team, squad and manager…….. and vice-versa.

339 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:53 PM

@Thump – your right there mate

340 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:53 PM

341 check the toastie // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:53 PM

Simpson out, Williams in, If a centre back gets injured give Tav a chance to see what hes got, if he hasnt strengthen again in summer, and we still have cover at CB with Williams, would be an excellent buy, Aussies always seem to be hugely competitive as well (viduka excluded obviously)

Check – Your comment @333 makes no sense what so ever lol.. you say Aslong as Simpson is here it will restrict Tavernier so we should sell Simpson… then you say we need to buy a better replacement for Simo.. which in my eyes makes it even harder for Tavernier to play :s

346 MacToon // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:56 PM

Well done to Hoots, would love to see him return here with Birmingham in the cup, shame we’d have to beat them.

347 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:57 PM

Mac…you’re right. I don’t think there was one fan who thought ashley was the man to take us forward….it’s looking a lot more positive these days and i’m leaning towards supporting them for now. We’re doing well, moving up, so happy days. It’s a bit childish to say that if they sell a top player for good money or one that’s running out of contract etc is a bad move. Players do come and go, thats football and business. We seem to be going in the right direction though….so let’s see some smiles and positivity (will happily eat my words when ashley strips us of everything to “line his pockets”)

348 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:57 PM

Whey am going for Brighton and Madrid

Better pitch for us at Brighton though we should be beating whoever wins tbf.

349 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:58 PM

What he said pi**ed me off no end, but as I said he apologised when he realised he was wrong.

It only takes a fool to issue an insult, but it takes a humble man to admit to his mistakes

350 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 9:59 PM

Wrexham had a pen saved =/

Thump – Aye Boro pat is a good one aswell like haha

352 Jail for Ashley // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:00 PM

Ibiza
‘neggar’as you say in the context of describing somebody on this blog who has in some peoples opinion negative posts toward the Ashley regime,those who oppose the word claim that the negative posts are not negative but realistic,I for one think that the word ‘neggar’ is to close to the bone of one of the most racially insulting words one can use,and thats why some people like to use it,I dont think that its any coincidence that the people who choose to use the word are the ones most likely to call other users who dont happen to agree with their opinions,retards,idiots etc.

353 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:01 PM

What the hell is that Keeper doing FFS

354 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:01 PM

Also any truth in the Rhys Williams rumour?

355 check the toastie // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:01 PM

is it OK if i get involved in this counselling session for GG, all i would say is if you give it then expect to take it, if you conduct yourself with decency on the blog i think most people will do likewise, if somebody is provocative rise above it, some people live to cause chew, just ignore and carry on with worthwhile footy chat, its what the blogs about, not abusing each other, it serves no purpose.

356 nimo // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:02 PM

simmos been brilliant this yr .. tavern can get experience from loans

Someone said it was on twitter, but I don’t know who posted it so have no idea if there’s any truth in or or if Collin is spouting more rubbish

359 check the toastie // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:04 PM

GT89 – if simpson signs new contract we will still need somebody better than him to improve the team , thus in pardews eyes Tav becomes third choice not second, we are then stuck with simpson for 5 years, do we really want that, he is as good now as he will ever be, is that OK.

360 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:04 PM

Aye I got it from twitter but thought it might of cme from a paper? Or is it just a twitter rumour

Wrexham out. Brighton vs. Newcastle

362 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:04 PM

Jeez Mackail-Smith just nearly took the net off

363 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:05 PM

We’ve got Brighton

364 MacToon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:06 PM

Jail for Ashley and check the toastie, both right imho.

365 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:06 PM

WWJBD

It was reported last week that Pardew was at a boro game and everyone thought it was to watch Williams, I’ve not seen anything other than whats be on twitter

366 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:07 PM

@JfA: I’ve always believed that neggers are the people who almost want the club to do badly just so they can say “I’M RIGHT!” at the end of the day. Like a certain somebody *cough*bills-son*cough* is under the impression that, say, solano is a negger – bs, solano has gone on record and saying that if he is proved wrong, he will happily hold his hands up and say “Well done Ashley.”

There’s one person on here (might actually be bplan actually) who is always calling for boycotts and the like. Now that’s a negger.

367 Dannyo // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:09 PM

Hehe, would be fun if we beat Brighton, we get Birmingham next…
Good ol Chris…

368 MacToon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:09 PM

Beat Brighton away then beat birmingham at home next round…….. sounds good.

369 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:09 PM

JB
Ah thats a shame was hopful for a bit there

Bring on Brighton eh

370 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:09 PM

Whats the date for the Brighton game?

371 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:10 PM

Check – You still make no sense…

Sell Simpson because he’s not good enough and it resticts Tavernier because thaz too much competition. Then when Simpson is sold or even if he is not sold Buy another RB adding another to the squad.. which as i will say again that make Taverniers chances of getting first team football even harder..

If Tavernier works hard enough and keeps impressing Pardew like he is doing and then if hes good enough he will play thats a FACT..doesnt matter if Simpson signs a new deal or not so less of the “In Pardews Eyes” when you clearly dont have a clue what your talking about

And also, Simpsons a good player and most fans will say that.

372 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:10 PM

JFA…Fair enough. TBH it’s a term picked up on this site….and i don’t think i’ve actually called anyone it to date (however there is still time). Everyone is allowed their own opinion and people should respect that. There does seem to be some cross over with what’s deemed slagging off other people’s ideas and putting your own thoughts across.

I think check the toastie is spot on with his summary

373 check the toastie // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:10 PM

nimo – simpsons dedication and effort has indeed been brilliant, his quality though is average, i know he has done a few herioc clearances off the line very commendable, but for me the proof would be in the pudding if he was for sale, maybe QPR with Joey would be as good as it gets for him, we need better if we are looking at europe, like the lads commitment but not good enough for were we hope to go on this crazy Ashley led journey.

374 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:10 PM

Jack & WWJBD, I’ve decided, after us signing Cisse, that if a transfer rumour is in the papers, twitter, facebook or anywhere else. It’s crap.

375 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:10 PM

Jack – 28th mate

Snap.

378 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:11 PM

GG – Your living in Germany aint you? Was nothing even mentioned in the papers or on the local sports news over there?

379 Dannyo // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:13 PM

@WWJBD
Transfer Central TNC reported it, atleast that’s when i saw it.
But there was another person, an agent, dunno who he represents if any, and could not be an agent at all.
Some report that it’ll happen tonight, some tomorrow.
We’ll see, as with everything else.
Fee said to be £3,5 mill.

380 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:13 PM

GG – The signing of Cisse has proven to me that there is absolutely no one who know what the club is doing regarding the transfer market, so like you I’ll not b believing anything I read now.

GT89 – Thanks mate

381 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:15 PM

GeordieToon89, not a thing. I have a feeling that is how Ashley will do business now. “Ok send him for a medical. But if anything comes out. The deal is off.”

382 toonpanda18 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:15 PM

hopefully going to see brighton

383 LewSpi // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:16 PM

Looks like it’s Brighton boys, quite a trek for an away day.

We should be beating either of those two teams though IMO.

384 nicktoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:16 PM

Evening all,

Bit of a coincidence. I signed cisse on FIFA a while back as we were interested in him last summer. He was prolific on the game!!! Ha!
Anyway, what a signing, we just a need a CB this window and will be set for the season. I honestly think next season if we keep everyone, we only need a winger and maybe a full back.
January: Mbiawa
Summer: Hoillet and Cossokho/Pieters

Thoughts?

385 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:17 PM

Are people saying they don’t think twitter is a reliable source for tansfer news….shocking

386 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:17 PM

Nicktoon…thoughts??? YEEEESSSS!!!

387 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:17 PM

GG
Aye thats a very fair point, there are very few of the players we are linked with that we actually sign

388 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:19 PM

I best stop placing bets based on twitter news then….i was certain it was going to make me rich

389 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:19 PM

All the Barca streams with Ray Hudson keep freezing

390 check the toastie // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:20 PM

GT89 – is it worth me trying to explain what i am saying again or am i wasting my time, answer me this is Simpson good enough to play in a champions league team? i think not, is Tav, we will never know unless he is given a chance, simpson will always be in his way if he signs a long term contract, and if he isnt then he shouldnt be here as he is not good enough. get rid of him is the point. He needs to be improved or are you saying he is worth his place among our star players, of which now is the rest of the team when all fit, he is the weak link, but tries hard granted.

391 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:21 PM

@check: We don’t have the strength or depth in squad to play in the champs league… so that argument is pretty much null and void. All I know is, I’d sooner have Raylor at RB than Tav.

392 PK-Norway // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:21 PM

393 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:22 PM

I just hope we get a CB in. Ashley always seems to be half a year behind in signings.

394 GeordieAnt // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:23 PM

You want an example of a neggar who thinks he’s a realist? Just search Brutooon on previous blogs, then again….not sure if he’s a neggar or just has a massive obsession with Shola, Perch and Obertan….all of which he’s probably sent loving letters to and not had a reply…hence his bitterness, and constant negative comments regarding some of our players….also…I seem to remember some posts when we started losing in which he was sure we were gonna get relegated etc.

Also…guys don’t think I’m attacking Brutooon….but I’m sure you’ve noticed in the past that he’s the one I tend to have “discussions” with the most…and thus he stuck out in my mind.

395 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:24 PM

check the toastie….i think GT89′s issue is you said Simpson is delaying Tav’s progress, so sign a better fullback than simpson…which surely would delay tav even more (he can’t knock simpson out of the 1st 11, how is he going to compete with a better fb?

Agree though…simpson has improved, but isn’t a world beater

396 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:24 PM

Ermm whats this about Boudebhouz coming to us?

397 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:25 PM

PK-Norway, Love the comments.

I? can’t understand that geordie commentator..

Im never watching a newcastle game? in english ever again

398 JackButler // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:25 PM

Madrids Pepe has a arm put across his chest and throws himself to the ground holding his face.

Disgraceful

399 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:25 PM

Brutoon was on here was half a day slagging off shola….i think the guy has way too much time and quite possibly a school yard crush geordieant…or he just enjoys the attention

400 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:26 PM

Anyone heard this rumour we’ve agreed fee with sochaux for Ryan’s boudebouz for 6.5mill

401 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:26 PM

Dannyo
Oh cheers mate that sounds more interesting that pure Colin rumours haha

402 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:27 PM

Just so we’re all clear: I would do horrible things if Ray Hudson would commentate every match I watch.

Getting sick of this diving like.

403 check the toastie // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:27 PM

Question for thump and GT89 – when we have our full team out who is the weakest link, and dont come up with crazy formations, who will let the team down when they try and play decent football, pretty clear to me, this is not now but trying to look at improving the side for next year, if we do want to push for top 4. saying if we want champions league football in 18month not now thats just daft thinking, but maybe next year, u can only dream eh..

404 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:27 PM

Ibiza – Thats exactly what im trying to say haha, Cheers mate

Check – A agree with you that Simpson isnt the best, but he is still a good player who looked very good when he had Taylor beside him earlier in the season when we had the best defensive record in europe

405 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:27 PM

Gt89 what u heard I’ve jus seen that

406 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:30 PM

No problem GT89….I seem to find editing others comments easier than writing my own….might take a new role on the site…mediator / transalator? I can also translate into geordie now thanks to GG

407 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:31 PM

I’m not saying he’s the strongest RB we’ve ever had, my point is that saying “can he play in the Champions League” is a silly point – you don’t know what he can and can’t do and we simply won’t qualify for the CL unless we get a lot of luck and even then we don’t have the quality in depth to:

1. Get there.
2. Stay there.
3. Do anything meaningful in the competition and retain a decent squad for the prem, league and FA cup.

408 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:31 PM

davybtoon – ayee mate av just posted asking people if they no anything.. would be an awesome signing hes class

409 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:31 PM

Boudebouz? Well he doesnt look like a CB to me. Get the feeling our big spending yesterday might be getting some people a bit over excited

410 Whos_SuperMac // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:31 PM

To be fair Simpson does have Obertan in front of him. Who ever plays at left back always has Gutti available to accept the ball, no matter how tightly he’s marked he’ll be willing to take the pass. I don’t see that with Obertan, he’s always looking to use his pace & that usually means Simmo having to play the long ball. Defensively Simpson has shown he knows how to be in the right place at the right time. I think the kid has ability, it’s just if he can fulfil it.

411 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:33 PM

Davytoon – Well apparently weve agreed a fee of 6.5million Euros and the Sochaux chairman/president has said in an interview theyve agreed a deal with us for him to be sold

412 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:33 PM

CB….isn’t that Santon’s preffered position?

413 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:33 PM

Whos_SuperMac. Who are you? Are you new? Or also a name change?

414 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:33 PM

WWJBD – Apparently Rhys Williams will be siging tomorrow mate as our CB

415 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:34 PM

Isn’t Boudebouz a midfielder?

416 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:35 PM

GT89
Well am all for Williams coming in, him or Tomkins and I am happy tbh.

As for Boudebouz he is a CAM/CM isnt he? I dont see the point in us buying him this Jan

417 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:36 PM

He is Thump. Or winger.

418 check the toastie // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:36 PM

cant seem to get my point across so im giving up, maybe its just because i dont know what im talking about.
last go – bear with me –
Scenario – Simpson signs new contract and then makes a few errors fans on his back (GT89,Thump), people realise that he doesnt actually offer a lot so we then sign another full back, cant shift simpson out of club but pardew feels like he is still in front of Tav (seems a little reluctant to throw yung-uns in), Tav stagnates leaves, never found out how good he could have been. people complain about simpsons length of contract, why is he at club not good enough etc (ala smith,perch etc.

419 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:37 PM

Check – Personally a dont think of Simpson as a weak link because its very rare he does a mistake that will cost us a goal

420 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:37 PM

“Abidal is onto that like Dracula onto a plate of liver!”

Not joking, I love this bloke.

421 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:39 PM

Yeah I’m agreeing with GT89 here. Yeah he’s at fault at times but how many goals has he blocked from the line? My only problem with Simmo is that he stands off his opponents all the time like they’re Lionel Messi.

422 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:39 PM

Boudebouz can play RW or LW aswell though

423 Toon1978 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:39 PM

GeordieToon89

Who is supposed to be signing mate?

424 Jail for Ashley // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:40 PM

Moving house next week and getting me Sky back on,had a dodgy box for awhile so got me Sky took out it’ll be just in time to listen to whats his face talk about helicopters waiting to take off and deals getting hijacked,
eee,the excitement of it all.

425 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:40 PM

Simpson has improved loads this season…i think he deserves a chance. He’s still pretty young isn’t he? Smith can’t be offloaded as he’s old and his wages are too high…doesn’t really apply to simmo

426 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:40 PM

Thump – Thats my only problem with Simo, but he seems to be learning he closes down more than he used too

427 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:40 PM

Boudebouz is a hell of a talent n only 21/22 him n Williams wud b fantastic

428 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:41 PM

Oh and let’s not forget that Obertan is often at fault for leaving Simmo up the creek with half a paddle. See: how much his game improved with Raylor in RM.

429 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:41 PM

check the toastie, I don’t think it will happen. Simpson (or Danny Boy as Ed likes to call him) seems to improve with every season, neigh, game.

430 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:42 PM

Ibiza – Ayee he’s only just turned either 25 or 26

431 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:42 PM

That’s true, GT89. I do rate him but his faults are definitely correctable. When we first came in he’d literally be backing off into the goal and then look around as if to say “how did I end up here?”. Now he’s actually waiting for a good time to challenge.

@davy: he’s 21 iirc mate

432 PK-Norway // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:42 PM

Here you go Shola LEGEND!:P

433 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:43 PM

GT89
Boudebouz can play as a winger? Still seems odd as we have HBA, Jonas, Raylor, Obertan and Marv as wingers atm not sure we need another name to throw in

434 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:44 PM

Thump – Thats a good point because when you look at our Left backs.. Enrique/Raylor/Santon, theyve all had Jonas infront helping them out but Simpson has never had a helper its always only been him.. Because Barton didnt help him much atall and Obertan doesnt do much only when Taylor has been playing Simo has looked more accomplished.. infact Ben Arfa has been helping him more than Obertan and Barton haha

435 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:45 PM

And Simpson’s off the line against Manure was…

… Well he’s had lessons from Saylor.

436 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:46 PM

TBH…i’m not really that worried about replacing any players in our current starting 11. Obertan can be replaced by Afra, R. Taylor or marv when he’s back. We have the new striker (Still beaming over here), really just need a CB as cover. Willo and collo are doing great together. Really after our CB, don’t we just need to replace anybody that goes?

437 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:46 PM

Oh Fergy and Sammy forgot the young uns. Might as well add in Moyo as well

438 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:46 PM

WWJBD – Aye mate he plays RW for Sochaux im sure of it… well weve only got Jonas/Ben Arfa/Raylor really because Obertan isnt cutting it atm and Marv is probz out for the season oh and not forgetting mate that Pardew doesnt want to play Ben Arfa as a winger in future

439 Whos_SuperMac // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:48 PM

Hi GeordieGesus
Yeah quite new, only contributed a few times, but have watched this site for a year or two now. Got IPhone recently so easier to get involved a bit more now.

440 davis_toons // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:48 PM

baca team work is just 10/10 RM teamwork 5/10

Thats the reason they will nvm win them for now.

Before that there was also not teamwork at Newcastle, Now we are different. We have teamwork and players are willing to work hard together and help the game.

441 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:49 PM

Mind you…”IF” we’re playing Europe next season, we will need some extra bodies that are up to it..not many, but a few. I’d imagine we’d be set for PL, FA, CC and Europa, unless injuries hit (unheard of at newcaslte i know)

442 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:49 PM

That’s true, GT89. I actually forgot how little Barton did to help him out. Problem with Arfa helping him out is that he’ll try and dribble past 11 men lol

443 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:50 PM

WWJBD – Fergie wont be a winger for us Pardew has said he sees him as a LB which is a shame as a think hes a cracking little winger.. Sammy has got a very serious injury av heard its looking more serious than whats being let on at the moment

444 davis_toons // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:52 PM

RM players just wanted the goal for themselves, dont pass like to dribble too much and lost the ball.

Whats wrong with Mourinho?

445 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:52 PM

Ibizatoon, I think what we need is 25 starting players who will accept rotation and not what we have now 15 starters who if a few are injured we have Perch, Smith, and a few kids as backup. But I think we are getting there.

446 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:52 PM

Thump…He won’t “try”, he will succeed!

447 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:52 PM

GT89
Aye but really thats 8 names (when fit) who can all play as wingers for the club I dont see why we would be after another one for 6.5 mill when we have places in the team that need covering.

A back up CDM, a CB and a LB should all be higher up on the list imo

448 davis_toons // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:53 PM

But i thought all along the years RM dont defence well…

449 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:53 PM

True GG….but then how do you really bring through your youth squad…it’s tough to manage…much easier to correct here on this blog!

450 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:54 PM

haha Ayee he does tend to be a little greedy at times wor Arfa but a love him all the same haha =]

Pardew said a few days ago that if some of the players that were interested in for the summer are available now for the right price then were going to get them now, because when you think thal be quite a few going out in the summer.. and If we get Europe we basically need another full team to play in that as its very tiring on the players and we need to have a fresh squad so we can challenge for high position in the league and also make a good strong challenge for a trophy wether that be the League Cup/Fa Cup or Europa League

451 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:54 PM

Agreed GT89 (just going to copy that to my clipboard lol), remember him at Stoke last season? Skill by the corner? Belting player.

That said… Pardew loves overlapping full backs. People complain that Jonas and Obertan are too quiet on their crosses but I think that’s all in the tactics – look at how they play games. Wingers get the ball forward and make the space, full backs overlap to give the wingers a chance to run forward and then hang back so they can whip in a cross from a more reserved position.

452 ToonIcon // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:55 PM

Dont know if it’s true but heard Cissokho has agreed to a 5 year contract just fee to be sorted weve bid 5mill lyon want 6.5 million
also lots of rumours fee agreed with Boudebouz thought to be around 6.5m
u think we’ll get cissokho and will be stunned and beyod delighted if we get Boudebouz

453 Dannyo // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:56 PM

@GT89
Any article link to those quotes mate?
On another hand, that signing was the one i wanted most all summer, him and Cisse where two of em, he’s an insane dribbler, he’s got flair accross the board, such an exciting player.
Algerian i belive?

@WWJBD
I can make any news more reliable and more fun than Cwarr mate, promise! Gimme a name and i’ll show ya.

454 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:56 PM

WWJBD – Abeid/Gosling/Guthrie all can be replacements for Tiote, Where apparently signing Williams for CB and as for LB a totally agree with you.. Im not saying were desperate for another winger mate because a said the other day the order in which we need players and a winger was the very least of our priorities

455 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:56 PM

@Dannyo: Messi.

456 Baro // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:57 PM

Hey lads just logged in…… Where is all these. Comments about Boudebouz coming from….?

457 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:58 PM

Can anyone here put a 25 man starting squad together from what we have? I’ve got up to 17. But that includes Obertan.

458 Jail for Ashley // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:59 PM

Really not sure what team Pards will go with in the FA cup,we havent really got a big enough squad to change it too much without coming a cropper,who knows there could be a couple more in by then.

459 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:01 PM

Ppl saying we don’t need boudebouz n cissohko I think we do along with cisse wud take us to complete different level

460 Whos_SuperMac // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:01 PM

A decent centre half is a must, look what Norwich did to us. Saylor not back till next season. CB definately in this transfer window. I always rated Rodger Johnson, who was at Birmingham then went to Wolves, but been pretty poor this season. Maybe needs a new club!

461 davybtoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:02 PM

Ffs stop havin a pop at obertan he’s 22 he will come good get off his back

462 ToonIcon // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:02 PM

completley agree davy if we get them great massivly improves the squad

463 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:03 PM

Dannyo – Yeah he’s algerian mate but they didnt qualify haha so he can still sign now =] would love him to sign.. am i right in saying he plays as a RW and can also play LW and also CAM? Im trying to find the quotes mate

464 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:03 PM

Dannyo
Enzo Zidane

GT89
True but none of them are really CDM imo can do a job but dont do what Tiote does. I am all for us getting Boudebouz in as a winger but I just dont see the board seeing it that way, specially with Cisse coming in I think that has to push HBA on to the wing as there is no way he will be getting deployed as a starting withdrawn striker with Cisse and Ba ready and fit

But hey if Feb comes and we have signed Cisse, Boudebouz, Cissokho and Williams then thats nothing but great haha

465 Toon1978 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:04 PM

Where has the Boudebouz rumour come from???

470 davis_toons // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:06 PM

Gosling/Guthrie tackling was not that good.
Not sure about Abeid

Gosling/Guthrie likes to goes up the field that might leave the defence exposed.

But Tiote as natural DM loves to sta back and guard the line of defence and when ever the ball comes to his half of the field he will BITE n do whatever away. Thats a DM for me.

476 Jail for Ashley // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:08 PM

I would be more than happy with that Williams,I dont know anything about him but if he’s a full international in a decent Aussie team and our scouts have watched him for awhile that will do for me,I think i’d be more than happy with him and Cisse this window as long as nobody leaves.

477 Thump // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:09 PM

@davy: Who’s having a go at Obertan? We’re talking about his shortcomings, just as we were talking about Simmo’s shortcomings.

478 solano // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:09 PM

I hope the rumours of Rhys Williams come to something- from what I’ve heard from the few Smogmonsters I know, he is good now and has a load of potential to develop further.

479 beefman13 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:10 PM

Whos_Supermac – Rodger Johnson was made to look good when he was playing alongside Dann, Dann covered him so much with his pace and reading of the game but now Johnson isnt with Dann he’s being found out just like he did when Dann got injured and B’ham lost nearly every game once Dann was out

486 davis_toons // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:13 PM

Fo me Obertan got to do more on the field..not just laid back for Simpson, he cant dribble his main job was to defend.

487 geordielad880 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:13 PM

I said last night that i was told krul was leaving, was supposed to be going, really hope its not true, he has been immense this season, rhys williams is a decent player also, very steady defender

495 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:16 PM

davybtoon, I mean if we were to get into Europe. Can you name 25 players to rotate in our Squad. No under 21′s.

496 davis_toons // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:16 PM

Man Utd have no time for Obertan, but we do have that sort of time for him to improve. Simpson was an example. Been on loan to so many clubs japan, etc…an it was Newcastle that he have settle and improve at his age.

497 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:16 PM

WWJBD – Rumours were Dann would immediately hand in a transfer request if Samba was sold.. but a reckon Dann is on his way to Villa with Mcleish

498 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:18 PM

You only named 1 goalkeeper, missed out Guthrie & Best – obviously we can’t leave out Shola either (; And Williamson as well, and Ryan Taylor :/

GG – You’ve really ballsed up my 23 man selection haha i shall do some re-calculations but a reckon al get about 14/15 so we need 10 new players haha

501 geordielad880 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:19 PM

i heard whispers that newcastle had checked in a player at seaham hall hotel tonight, but no idea if its true, or whether newcastle would even use that hotel, doesnt make much sense

502 mattyNUFC // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:19 PM

OK NEW RULE!

for delineation’s sake, when we mention rumours and they come from football rumours or newcastle rumours, can we mention that? there’s no sense in stirring up the rest of the lot on a wayward hunch or more probably a wind-up. I’ve searched high and low for ANYTHING Sochaux’s chairman has said today and the only think going on is that they’ve sign a guy from Ivory Coast. There of course could be credence to it if Tiote leaves, and I’d personally love him here, but saying “has anyone heard the rumour” makes it sound like it has more clout behind it than it actually just being on one of those sites.

Anyway, do hope he joins, even in the unenviable scenario of having to lost Tiote for 25mil….

503 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:19 PM

Perh has been very good as a DM as well. People will slag him off, but we’ve conceded 0 goals with him in DM

504 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:19 PM

Aye Guthrie and Gosling seem more attack minded as for Abied I know litle about the plan for him but from what I know about him he is as forward thinking as the other two

505 solano // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:20 PM

geordie880…if you read the thread from lastnight it was all put to bed and I even tried to give a sociological explanation of how those labelled negative have turned it around and appropriated it as a positive! Afterall, we just want the club to succeed.

@gl880: Doubt we’d check a player in there, we usually use the Jesmond Dene Hotel or the Malmaison. Unless of course they’ve found out who Mr. Coozy is…

508 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:21 PM

ToonDownSouth, I named Harper and I’m not sure that Guthrie and Best should be called first team players. OK, I’ve said that Best stepped up to the plate when Carroll was sold. I Just hope he can do it again.

511 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:23 PM

Ive managed to find 18 players who are strong over the age of 21 so we need around 4 or 5 players of a good age to be used as squad rotation and improvement on our starters or vice versa

523 Whos_SuperMac // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:27 PM

Fair point Geordietoon89,
Could be quite Possibly why his form has dipped. Decent CB’s who are comfortable on the ball are few and far between. Your average CB in the premier league give them time and the ball and you can see blind panic set in!!!

524 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:28 PM

GeordieToon89, That’s really effed me up man.

525 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:28 PM

I think you’re overestimating the quality of a lot of Europa League teams mate.

Remember – Stoke qualified through the group stages this year, and Fulham got to the final 2 years ago with the squad that finished 11th in the league!

Tottenham only just got knocked out this year – and they genuinely played their reserves. I hadn’t even heard of most of them.

And Birmingham could still have qualified on the last day – and they’re in the championship!

It was in reference to GG saying that Guthrie may not be good enough

536 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:33 PM

WWJBD – Well you would think so mate but the draw of having Mcleish back as his manager will help plus the fact he would cost a canny bit cos Villa are guna pay £3 or 4million plus Collins

TDS – Its the teams getting knocked out from the champions league thats the worst part a think its stupid they shouldnt be allowed to be entered into europe league when they get knocked out of champ league..

537 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:33 PM

GG…if we qualify for Europe are we going to be taking all comps seriously? Are we seriously going to try and go for 4 trophies? At least we could field a real reserve team in the CC…poss early FA cup and give the youth a real run out. At the minute, we need the FA Cup as we don’t have too much else to shoot for (He says as we currently sit a few points off the CL spot!)

538 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:33 PM

Yeah of course we are. Mind you, I can’t see us keeping all of our top players anyway – so it may be pointless speculating!

539 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:33 PM

It’s an absolute joke isn’t it? It’s solely so that – like this year – if large teams like Manchester United & City drop out of the CL, people will watch the Europa League to see them and UEFA can just keep raking in the money.

If we get knocked out of the FA Cup, I don’t suppose we’ll go down into the Johnstons Paint Trophy? No? :/

De Rossi’s the player I would genuinely bloody love to see in the Premier League – love it like Keegan.

But at the same time, I’d be gutted to see him leave his boyhood club

565 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:50 PM

Ibiza – He’s not calling you mate he’s saying..(in my terms) Its a bit of a kick in the teeth when you pay to see all the stars and only see the youth for the same price

566 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:51 PM

Ibizatoon, I’m saying it’s a bit of a tw@ (hardship) when you’re paying hard earned cash to see stars playing and its the reserves who turn out.

567 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:51 PM

You’ll have to forgive me then GG for a sarcastic response…best leave the smoking until after blogging in future…

568 GeordieGesus // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:52 PM

GeordieToon89, ta very much.

569 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:53 PM

Agree on all of that. Would love him to be a 1 club man but that means we dont get him in the PL

570 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:53 PM

Duly noted.

was that a paul simon quote?

572 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:53 PM

WWJBD – Mancini said he wont be signing players until someones sold.. meaning Tevez a think so once he’s sold expect someone like Cavani/Lavezzi to come in

573 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:54 PM

GG – No problems mate

574 Ibizatoon // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:54 PM

It’s true. When i look at the man city squad i do think to myself…god they need to buy some quality

575 Toon Tang // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:55 PM

so, it looks like theres gunna be a falklands war 2. mad how it comes around again in similar times to thatchers reign.

At least weve got 2 dembas to lead us through these dark and troubling times.

576 WWJBD // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:57 PM

Oh I didnt know RM had said that. Well Tevez has one foot out the door now so surely shouldnt be long. Ah well I think they have enough to win the league already and I dont see their rivals getting and stronger so they can wait til summer if worst comes to worst

Anyway lads am off have a good un

577 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 11:59 PM

Did you guys watch the El Classico

Barca played as a team, Madrid played as an individual

578 GeordieGesus // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:01 AM

Toon Tang, It’ll not happen. We showed them 30 years ago and they know we now have troops on the islands.

579 GeordieToon89 // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:02 AM

apparently been reports in france saying Tevez has agreed a 3 and a half year deal with PSG

580 GeordieGesus // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:02 AM

Brutooon, I take it that Madrid is Ben Arfa’s nickname?

581 GeordieGesus // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:03 AM

GeordieToon89, well that’s a damn site closer to his kids.

582 Ibizatoon // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:04 AM

and i take it barca isn’t a nickname for Shola?

Who would take tevez? He’s a great striker, but can’t seem to settle anywhere…it’s the same old story

Hahah, thanks for posts #580 & #581. They gave me something to smile about whilst revising for tomorrows exam!

Toon Tang,
I’ve been known to come out with a few statements off topic me self in the past but claiming tha’s a war on the way…

591 GeordieGesus // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:09 AM

I’m not a fan of Barcelona as a club, but their movement is absolutely unreal. Messi didn’t even have to look up – he was just aware that a player would be making that run for him. Incredible

593 Ibizatoon // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:14 AM

TDS…Messi’s just amazing. The ultimate footballer

594 RonVanDam // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:31 AM

595 GeordieGesus // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:33 AM

I’ve been talking to my Dad and he says I should say this to you.

Our team that Plays at Saint James’ Park.
On that Hallowed ground.
The goals will come,
At home or away
Give us this day an easy win.
As we will forgive your miss passes
We will forgive those who miss pass against us.
Lead us not into relegation
But deliver us into top competition.
For this is Newcastle
Through ups and down
For ever and ever
Howay the Lads.

596 GeordieToon89 // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:34 AM

597 GeordieToon89 // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:35 AM

GG – Thats good that haha 52000 geordies putting hands together before kick off saying that lmao

598 GeordieToon89 // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:36 AM

Also why would Ba join a club in decline? Newcastle are on the up and we’ll up amongst it in a couple year providing we dont lose our players to super clubs

599 GeordieGesus // Jan 19, 2012 at 12:37 AM

GeordieToon89, scare the sh!t out of the opposition.

For the record…I DONT want this, but what if Arsenal pays us $20M for Ba and Villa pay us $5M for Simmo…Sow/Hoillet, Shaqiri, and Cisse/Mbiwa

609 American Toon 13 // Jan 19, 2012 at 4:27 AM

Speaking of Ba, does anyone have his actual twitter account? I’ve been trying to follow him but there are a lot of fake accounts and I don’t know which one is right. I can’t find a Ba account that is actually followed by other NUFC players.

Exciting times, ain’t lads, we’re well poised for a fourth place finish, all the results have gone our way since we lost to Liverpool and thalong with arsenal, tottenham, Chelsea dropping points, I’m thinking once we hit 40pts, we’ll see a different side….

616 bills-son // Jan 19, 2012 at 7:26 AM

Jail for Ashley // Jan 18, 2012 at 10:00 PM

Ibiza
‘neggar’as you say in the context of describing somebody on this blog who has in some peoples opinion negative posts toward the Ashley regime,those who oppose the word claim that the negative posts are not negative but realistic,I for one think that the word ‘neggar’ is to close to the bone of one of the most racially insulting words one can use,and thats why some people like to use it,I dont think that its any coincidence that the people who choose to use the word are the ones most likely to call other users who dont happen to agree with their opinions,retards,idiots etc.

Just when I think you have some sense by saying you won’r slag Ashley off for the Time being you imply that posters using the word negger (which I have CORRECTLY against you) you try and imply that I and others deliberately use it for racial reasons.

How low can you stoop?

Is that what you have to do in an attempt to get some high ground simply because you have been proven DEAD WRONG about Ashley by me and others?

Your post is disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful.

617 Rotonda heights // Jan 19, 2012 at 7:38 AM

geordie 89

i think you must be a seriously inadeqate person to find barcelona boring. That’s like saying watching stoke is thrill seeking!!!!

618 bills-son // Jan 19, 2012 at 7:42 AM

Boy oh boy Jail have you got me boiling over that racial slur.

Lets get the facts right eh …

For the year I have been the most persistent poster on here in support of Ashlley and was one of the first to say that selling AC for £35M was brilliant business and that Pardew was an excellent manager.

For that stance, the likes of you and solano and many others, have abused me constantly. I;ve been called an MA ar$e licker, a deluded cretin, a Mackem, idiot, moron, stupid old fker, brainless about football – and far worse.

But – you and the other abusers didn’t stop me posting, your abuse didn’t stop pointing out the OBVIOUS that Ashley’s PLAN was working.

Yes, I responded to your abuse by giving some stick back. Who wouldn’t?

BUT – where now tons of former Ashley doubters are coming out and giving the guy credit – some even saying we should sing MA’s B&W army – you resort to a vile sideswipe at me (and other Ashley supporters) by sayimng that our use of the word negger is deliberate and racially motivated.

That is the WORST abuse I have EVER read on this forum.

You should be man enough to apologise or – in my opinion – you should be banned from this forum.

619 Dannyo // Jan 19, 2012 at 7:47 AM

I see us trying for Hoilett in the summer, now that Cisse is in i can’t see us signing more forward players.
We’ll focus on a CB and that’ll be that. But seeing Cisse and a CB come in, it’ll be more than i expected tbh.
Who’d tought Cisse would come our way at all tho.
Would’ve thought the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham would be right on top of it.

620 cyprus // Jan 19, 2012 at 7:50 AM

You guys just can’t drop it…
On real matters, AP must now learn the ever so tricky rotation system. It has its drawbacks (u know them) but also its advantages. U always have like 18 players who are match fit, thus lessening the blow of injuries and replacements. Squad players feel that they are part of the team, as they all get games. Opposition is always confused about who is going to show up. Various formations are tried in training (and matches), so there’s always a plan b to call upon. Last but not least, more players are happy.

621 toonincheek // Jan 19, 2012 at 7:54 AM

cyprus – can’t expect bills-son to drop serious racially-slanted abuse like that.

622 cyprus // Jan 19, 2012 at 8:01 AM

Toonincheek,
I’ve been with this blog for quite a while now and it’s the same stuff again and again. It’s sometimes been abusive, even been funny at times… Probably Ed should remove some comments but that would mean full time monitoring and I don’t blame him for not sitting on top of the computer 24-7. I could give you a summary of why each side has been right at one time or another.

623 dmac // Jan 19, 2012 at 8:04 AM

I know how you feel Bills son the level of abuse i recieved since the summer for vocally sticking by MA and the team has been unreal. I have been called every name under the sun on here but take comfort from the fact that we are the ones having the last laugh.

On the word neggar it has no other conotations. Comparing it to other words is like saying pick is the same word as *ick they are two different words with two totally different meanings.

And most importantly HWTL

624 redondo77 // Jan 19, 2012 at 8:10 AM

hehehe I was called “MA love child”

625 bills-son // Jan 19, 2012 at 8:30 AM

dmac – I have no problem with being called a dick, noron, old cnt etc., etc., its all part of the banter, puerile and childish as it is at times – and I include me in that! Its the daft games us boys play.

HOWEVER – being called a racist – THAT is totally and utterly unacceptable.

Jail should apologise – he (I hope) made that post when his head was out of gear and he didn’t really mean it.

If he apologises – its forgotten about – if he doesn’t he obviously stands by it.

626 Lynxie // Jan 19, 2012 at 8:53 AM

JFA:

There are some things which cross the line chap. I would rather be called a mackem than a racist. neither are true, but to be slurred with that accusation is below the belt and totally unwarranted on this forum, as there are no racists on here that I have noted for years, we are better than that collectively.
Do the honest and honourable thing, or take yourself off to where your racist provocation may actually do some good. Liverpool have a fans forum.

627 Lynxie // Jan 19, 2012 at 9:04 AM

Whos supermac @ 604:

Your ‘last’ post at 604 was a little bit miscalculated, which is ironic, because your lass told me last night that you are often ‘premature with your finishes’…………………….

628 solano // Jan 19, 2012 at 9:58 AM

Bills -you are a moron and nearly all of those other insults you list!
The reason people have WRONGLY picked up on the similarity with the “N” word and became hyper sensitive, is because it was originally used ad infinitum as a slur by you and the little band of followers who back up the regime come hell or high water. This continous dismissal of alternative views to the “club line”debase sensible argument and bring the whole blog down to a slanging match (of which I have admittedly taken part in after being on the receiving end of this derogatory term).
Even sadder in your position is that you choose to crawl out in the early morning when the discussion (balanced and fair and witnessed by all “sides”) is over. This is another of your habits/tactics stemming most probably from your insecurity and inability to share a normal discussion.
Thank God there are few, if any racists on this blog – but there are many who use the site to force their opinions on others by only using derogatory terms without foundation. E.G.. the term Mackem was first levelled by many pro-Ashley bloggers at anyone who dared question the club policy.
I have no respect for you, Bills. NONE.!

629 toonincheek // Jan 19, 2012 at 11:48 AM

bils-son,
Plenty of us with you.
No doubt you have used the term ‘negger’ frequently, but clearly referring to those posting repeatedly negative comments.

For anyone to suggest that you have used the term with a racially-slanted meaning crosses the line and is totally unjustifiable.

@625 & 629
I’m black and have never took it up as derogatory when used by bills-son or other members of this site, just because i know the context it’s being used in.
I think we need to get a grip, we all support the same team and though we may not always share the same opinions, name calling and abuse is out the question.
Bills-son by his posts current and pass come across as a decent level head guy and don’t think he is that way..

solano – I will leave it to others (who are already making their views known) to judge who is right or wrong on this issue.

Some of your comments above are – in my opinion – laughable, if there weren’t so sad and indicative of how personally you level abuse at me.

Even sadder in your position is that you choose to crawl out in the early morning

You say “Bills -you are a moron and nearly all of those other insults you list!”

You say “Even sadder in your position is that you choose to crawl out in the early morning when the discussion (balanced and fair and witnessed by all “sides”) is over. This is another of your habits/tactics stemming most probably from your insecurity and inability to share a normal discussion.”

How crass is that last thing you say? What are you saying? That I should stay up all night to read the last entry on every post and reply before I go to bed? How silly is to even imply that? I got up this morning, read the posts, saw that Jail was implying I was a racist and replied. It was an IMPOSSIBLE accusation to ignore. A vile and despicable accusation.

The truth – as I am sure many sensible fans on here know – is that you and Jail having been proved so badly wrong in your ‘Ashley is an unambitious FGB who will never spend money but just flog the crown jewels’ position have responded to losing the argument by making even greater and more personal attacks on me.

It really is as simple as that solano.

And that says everything about you and Jail – you should both be ashamed of yourselves – especially because you are both obviously intelligent guys. That actually makes your slurs worse and reflects badly on you both.
