  Excellent news!!! He’s had more than enough chances.

• 3 yo-yo // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:21 PM

  couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy

• 4 Owldman // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:25 PM

  When the reality of what he has thrown away sinks in and all he has left are photos of twenty pound notes scattered on the floor & his bank account starts to dwindle he may realise Toon were more than tolerant, had he been employed in any other industry he would have been sacked .The stupid prat

• 5 Harley // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:27 PM

  Fantastic news!!!!
  This pathetic kid has thrown everything back in the faces of those who have offered him the greatest opportunity any young man could ever dream of.
  I have absolutely no sympathy for him at all!

• 6 toonincheek // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:30 PM

  By mutual consent?
  He would hardly have walked away from his contract and salary unless we were able to put pressure on him.

  For once, WE were the ones holding a gun – to his head!

• 7 Harley // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:33 PM

  Just out of interest does anyone know what happened to that other bad boy youngster we were linked with from Man U?
  I can’t remember his name but I think he went to west ham on loan maybe.

  Also does anyone know how that prior guy who had a trial with us is getting on?

  I thank you in anticipation.

• 8 nick_9 // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:38 PM

  Harley you’re right there. He tweeted to say “I’m happy” just before the news broke, not as happy as us fans. I think society wins on this ones, begs the question how he can be paid more than nurses and doctors.

  Ravel Morrison is the kid you are talking about, hyped up but I haven’t heard much about him since he left Manchester United other than when he got in trouble for a homophobic tweet.

• 9 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:39 PM

  Trivia,
  Can anybody say who else that Dennis ‘ Cryuff ‘ Wise brought to the club.

• 10 Big Pappa Cissé // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:39 PM

  Thank God we eventually got rid of the waster. Guy is a complete bum and I wouldn’t be suprised if he is flipping Big Mac’s within a month

• 11 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:39 PM

  Apart from Xisco, who also left by mutual consent.

• 12 Mr Random // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:42 PM

  He had a good record at newcastle. Every time he scores, we win the game!

  2-0 vs Coventry
  2-0 vs Crystal palace
  4-3 vs Chelsea.

• 13 Owldman // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:47 PM

  Apparently Pards gave him an ultimatum a few weeks ago that he had to turn up for training on time for 6 weeks if he didn’t he would be on his bike! So we have to assume he has lapsed back into his old ways & the club have had enough

• 14 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 8:49 PM

  Owldman,
  I think WW…s thinking on the previous thread is the more plausible answer.

• 15 estechco // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:05 PM

  JFA @ 11 Xisco was the handywork of Jiminez not Wise

• 16 pawl250 // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:07 PM

  Hey guys been catching up with convo over past few articles for am going to share my opinion 2 things, summer targets and tomorrows team.

  First off Team :-

  ——————– Elliot —————-
  Debuchy – STaylor – Mbiwa – Santon
  ————- Cabaye – Tiote ————
  Jonas ———- Sissoko —– Gouffran
  ——————- Cisse —————–

  Benny to come back against Anzi, personally wouldnt risk him just yet and think he could do with a less tempo game for his return. Swanswa will most likely have 60-70% possession so we need to stay compact in defence, Jonas does that more than Arfa.

  As for summer targets, I love how Ranger is gone, club is clearly shifting the dead weight now! So my targets are quite simple really:-

  Free – Douglas
  8m – Belhanda
  3m – Guidetti
  7m – Siem De Jong
  2m – upcoming right back, similar mold Haidara with Simpson leaving.

  Out
  Coloccini – ? – hopefully not be likely
  Ryan Taylor – 500k
  Gosling – 1m
  Obertan – 1m
  Simpson – Free

  TOTAL SPEND 15M

  Backup targets -

  Remy? all depends on price if cheap why not?

  Carroll? Shola getting on Carroll can do a decent job holding the ball up, personally wouldnt mind seeing him return for a 6-7m price

  Benteke – Villa possibly going down the 20m price tag would be virtually impossible to demand.

  Alderwield – Personally would love to see him come, unlikely and would command a 8-10m price tag, yet I said the same about Mbiwa in the summer! I would personally cream my pants if we had Mbiwa, Douglas, STaylor and Alderwield as our centre backs, selling Williamson. We can dream!! lol

  Sakho – Potential french player, although would be pricey, yet if Colo leaves and Douglas does not want to come we need to replace Colo as STaylor is a walking biscuit!

• 17 check the toastie // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:09 PM

  Personally think it is a shame the lad cant give his head a shake and take some responsibilty for being a dick, think he has talent and hope he uses it, would be real shame if he ended up jailed. Pardew has gave the lad more than a few chances it appears, he has let himself down. Bigtime.

• 18 yo-yo // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:14 PM

  check

  Whan Pards with his man management skills gives up then its probably too late for Ranga to take responsibility

• 19 mot7 // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:14 PM

  Good glad he has gone
  Dont realy agree its a waste of talent as i dont think he is talented .
  And i realy hope no club takes him

• 20 estechco // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:21 PM

  @16 Guidetti for £3m seems rather optimistic!?!

• 21 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:33 PM

  Estecho,
  Was Jiminez not the handy work of Wise.

• 22 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:35 PM

  Check,
  The lass who’s pressing charges probably doesn’t think so .

• 23 Mister Tuff // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:47 PM

  Ranger was bringing the club into disrepute -clearly they gave him an offer he could not refuse (sign this to cancel your contract or we will sack you).
  I think Rotonda mentioned in his last post – Xisco + Ranger gone, new players and youngsters out on loan.
  Certainly looks as if things are shaping up nicely -get things up to the best standard possible -ready for some additions in the summer and improving the development squad. Make you think if all this had been sorted out in the summer we would already be in better shape. Hopefully lessons have been learnt.

• 24 bollance // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:49 PM

  Working hard day in day out is a talent in itself.

  Happy that Ranger has gone because he is a bad apple. Glad he is away from the development squad who need a revamp in the summer.

  If we bring in ‘special talents’ (who won’t need papers etc) to sign for the club from places like eastern Europe then the u21 development squad will see some real hard work. These players from poor parts of Europe or the world will do everything in their powers to succeed.

  G Carr will be working over time in the next 6 months.

  We now pretty much only have players with the commitment / desire to play for the club.

  Ps the French boys have never stepped out of line unlike ranger, Carroll, Barton, Simo

• 25 Dondatta13 // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:49 PM

  Glad he’s away… now that this plonker has shuffled off the football map, surely now young Adam Campbell can step up and be in and around the 1st team.

  P.S I’m surprised this thread hasn’t hit 500 comments… All of them, happy that Gangster first, footballer second has left the club and taken his ill mentality with him.

• 26 estechco // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:50 PM

  @21 Perhaps, but by that logic they’re both the handywork of your Nemesis MA

• 27 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:56 PM

  Mistertuff,
  I hope so last summer was probably the most disappointing time in my life, I felt more let down than at the Christmas when I got given a Grifter instead of the Strika I had dreamed of.

• 28 weg // Mar 1, 2013 at 9:58 PM

  DING DONG, THE TATTIE GUN GANGSTER IS GONE!!!
  Its very good that they have discarded that talent-wasting cretin! His departure was finally sealed when he criticised the fans, and its now quite possible he will end up on the football scrapheap!
  He will not be missed!
  As for future signings, those players mentioned are all canny options, but we must remember there is a minimum amount of homegrown players we have to have in the squad. If we could bring in players like Nathaniel Clyne to replace Simpson for reasonable prices, or other british gems, we can keep within the ‘homegrown’ quota.
  Personally, I think Simpson, Williamson, (Collocini?) Gosling, Obertan, Amalfitano, (Harper?) and the now-departed Xisco and Ranger need to be replaced.

• 29 olivant // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:00 PM

  I guess it is not the “Texas Ranger ” proverb ” One riot one ranger” It is more like, where there is a riot, there is a Ranger, Niles Ranger hehe

• 30 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:01 PM

  I hope MA and his crew have got more plans up their sleeves as that is now four strikers that have left this season and only one brought in, in what was a woefully deficient part of the team even befre Ba left.

• 31 Mister Tuff // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:09 PM

  Jail – ref last summer -with the expectations/rumours rampant I spent loads on time on line checking out reports of players newspaper articles, player stats etc etc.In the event a complete waste of time without nobody of note being signed -Bigi the exception -probable future star. So all in all its good to see the Toon having a “spring clean”. I noted today that the Lille centre half Aurélien Chedjou is after a move in the summer -he’s 27. Toon might get Cabs to get him signed.

• 32 archaeomag // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:13 PM

  I am amazed he lasted this long, Comlpete waste of time.
  He’s 21 -Think of what Andy Carrol had done at that age [in terms of football]

• 33 sirtoongospel // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:14 PM

  To be fair, Sissoko has been playing the withdrawn striker role, and 3 goals and 3 assists in 6 games is a cracking return.

  Back up needed for sure, but they must surely have learnt from last summers mistakes??

• 34 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:19 PM

  Mister tuff,
  That was the worsr part, being linked with all those different players and the funkin Debuchy saga, pardon my passive aggresiveness, when Leon Best got sold I thought, whoa we’re finally going places, little realising it was solely to help towards Anitas fee, that really boiled my pi $$ and left me hating the fat cockney t#at more than ever.

• 35 yo-yo // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:20 PM

  STG

  Masterstroke to fill in our striker shortage by playing our new formation and using Sissoko in that role.
  It’ll do till the summer but we seriously need 2x decent strikers then – unless we are going to play Gouffy more centrally and bring in a new wide left player – but we stiil need forward strengthening.

• 36 Black and White with an army lol // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:26 PM

  it’s a shame ranger had to go i thought he was better than all our players put together.

  hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha who the hell am i kidding im over the moon with this news what a belta, bye bye ranger and gomtake ya face for a sh!t wooo hooo

• 37 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:26 PM

  Yo-yo,
  Master stroke it may be but if the guy hadn’t of been willing to give up his signing on fee he wouldnt have been here.

• 38 Black and White with an army lol // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:29 PM

  sorry, go and take ya face for sh!t

• 39 TyneValleyToon // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:30 PM

  Most fans would sign a pact with the devil, to get the chance Ranger had. Pards has been forced to go the extra mile for Ranger but it wasn’t enough for our gangster striker. Pards & the club have moved on bur Ranger has the rest of his life to regret being a major league bell-end . . . . can’t help but feel sorry for the lad but having your head up your arse, will suffocate your brain

• 40 Mister Tuff // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:35 PM

  Jail – one thing that became apparent in last summers research, it has been commented upon by other on here, was the vendetta by southern based papers against the Toon. Reading articles one after the other it was easy to spot themes etc. Clearly football journalists who support the likes of Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs as well as Liverpool seem to have an agenda to stir up the s**t in respect of things about the Toon.

• 41 sticklebricks // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:36 PM

  Okay, he’s a tart with no grip on reality BUT I think this will come back and bite us, give it a couple of years and he will be a £30M player.

• 42 jimmysmith // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:37 PM

  The guy seemed incapable of staying out of trouble. It’s a flaw many people are afflicted by, and many, even great sportsmen, for example Best, Tyson, Daly, even Tiger Woods. Of course Ranger was never going to achieve that level of greatness but we all know people, likely even in our own families who are “their own worst enemy” in a sort of compulsive, impulsive way.

  Newcastle appear to have been very tolerant and supportive but I ‘m pleased the whole sorry saga has finally been resolved.

• 43 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:42 PM

  Lets just say Collo stays, I now think we’re totally covered in defence with exception of replacing Clyne with Tav, only of course if he wants to be an understudy, up front I think a RW/ST in place of Obertan and looks like we’re stuck with Shola until he decides to retire.

• 44 Harley // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:45 PM

  Nick_9

  Cheers mate, that’s him ravel Morrison. I thought I hadn’t heard anything good about him.

• 45 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:46 PM

  Mister tuff,
  Despite my user name I’m very open minded toward the happenings at SJP as was shown after Cisse signed, but I felt physically sick at the stupidity/incompetence/nonchalance of last summer.

• 46 jimmysmith // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:48 PM

  I think Collo will likely stay. He’s got 6 months to succeed or fail in working out his problems with his wife. Either way there has to be a good chance he’ll see out his contract considering that he hasn’t bailed up to now.

  Obviously I hope he stays, because he is one of three outstanding centre backs on our books, something that is unprecedented at Newcastle in my memory.

• 47 89Norcal // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:51 PM

  Sad part is; the chances are high that he won’t grow up, nor realize the opportunity he squandered, until it’s too late.

• 48 Mister Tuff // Mar 1, 2013 at 10:52 PM

  Jail -the other good thing at the Toon -which holds us in good stead for future raids in France is the French day at SJP. I was checking out a few French Sports Mags – Le 10 Sport, L’Equipe etc they all had stories and pictures about the French theme -playing the French National anthem etc. all went down very well. Master stroke by whoever thought of it. Might just convince a few more Frenchmen to come to the Northern Outpost in the summer.

• 49 Mister Tuff // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:01 PM

  Jail -despite cries of misplaced support subsequently for Percy Panais -the top three misjudged the quality/depth of squad required for this season -they were a mile out. In order to be self sufficient/buy youngsters-sell them on -to inject new monies into the squad -they clearly forgot/overlooked/disregarded that the first team would have to be able to do well in the league before the “master plan” can succeed. That lesson appears to have be well and truly learnt. so as a Toon fan (ie been suckered before) the future is bright.

• 50 jimmysmith // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:03 PM

  When I look at the squad now I actually struggle to see where we need strengthening. Guys like Simmo, Willo, Gosling, Obertan seem excellent 2nd choice understudies.

  They likely won’t be content ofcourse in that role and there’s the rub, how do you keep strength in depth happy and how then do you replace with better. Perhaps by constantly upgrading your first choice 11.

• 51 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:03 PM

  Mister tuff,
  I got a French Forign legion tunic from e bay, made my own desert white kepi from sparkies tape and a baseball cap ,white jeans and a pair of black rig boots looked like a regular beau peep, gutted I was sitting to high up to make Motd.

• 52 Marty-Toon // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:05 PM

  IDIOT!
  What a waste

• 53 Mister Tuff // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:07 PM

  Jail -I recall you saying your ordered kepi had not arrived and you were going to make one Good stuff.

• 54 ToonDarnSarf // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:13 PM

  I hope they managed to find way to release this waster from his contract with paying the absolute minimum. Any other job and he’d have been sacked for gross misconduct ages ago.

• 55 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:14 PM

  Mister Tuff,
  Another thing I couldn’t understand was if it was this big five year plan surely all the football people at the club were screaming for the youngsters to go on loan, Im not blaming Pards for this as I think he’s took the fall in his propoganda speeches/interviews surely if it was well thought out this would have been the case, this type of sh1t further increases my suspicion, what does make me think things are being done right are that the players being brought in seem to be happy, although no matter what is being said I don’t think any of them were happy on Sept 1st.

• 56 ToonDarnSarf // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:17 PM

  This summer, we should sign:
  Ronaldo (£80m)
  Messi (£100m)
  Van Persie (£35m)

  Come on Mike get your wallet out!

• 57 JAMSHA // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:22 PM

  Na na na na, na na na na , hey hey ,
  goodbye

• 58 Mister Tuff // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:22 PM

  Jail -it is probable worth considering that the hierarchy thought “the youngsters” would see us through this season.. With our injuries early on -this “master plan” was doomed. It may be ok introducing youngsters into a team playing well -one at a time, but having several playing who were not up to speed/standard was a disaster waiting to happen. This “fault” appears to have been acknowledged with this last weeks loan deals. So , whilst a bit late -the situation has been rectified.

• 59 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:26 PM

  Jimmysmith,
  You’ve got a point with the understudy thing, but on Obertan I can’t remember a player ive disliked more in a Toon shirt, Gosling with all his hype and promise has spent more time on the treatment table and im not even going to talk about his ridiculous sending off and handball against Everton, Williamson was my favourite plater in the Championship so as a fourth choice CB then if he’s happy until Curtis Good or Streete oust that spot then good luck to him.

• 60 Jail for Ashley // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:34 PM

  Mister Tuff,
  In all fairness, no matter how clueless double manager of the year Pardew is made out to be on this blog he knew them young lads weren’t good enough and thought we were getting three or four quality signings in the summer, he didn’t get them and Dirk probably sniggered at him and said we promised you four signings and got you four signings, remember Alan we told you ‘ow fuc#in ‘orrible we can be.

• 61 Big Pappa Cissé // Mar 1, 2013 at 11:37 PM

  Really hope Cisse has gained some confidence after that stunner against Southampton and starts banging them in again.

  This is what I want to see him start doing again

  TDsarf,
  Seriously…

• 63 ToonDarnSarf // Mar 2, 2013 at 12:05 AM

  Jail,

  No.

  Seriously we’ll sign:
  Centre back to replace Colo if he leaves
  Young striker who is ready to play in the first team
  Young goalkeeper
  Other young players
  Possibly any bargains that are valued much higher than we get them for

  That will be that unless players leave or we get serious injuries…

• 64 Jail for Ashley // Mar 2, 2013 at 12:14 AM

  TDsarf,
  Being used to the normal let downs previous to this last window you should rephrase that to, I hope we sign !

• 65 NUFC_LEAZES END // Mar 2, 2013 at 12:16 AM

  @pawl
  Get rid of Ryan Taylor for 500k?

  1. He’s a decent back up
  2. We need to keep home grown players, as it doesn’t look like we will be buying English players anytime soon.
  3. 500k? He’s at least a 3mil rated player.

• 66 dembademba // Mar 2, 2013 at 12:22 AM

  I remember ranger changing a game against Liverpool we went onto win. I wish him well, hope he makes it at a decent level but its about time we got rid.

  And pawl duno what he’s talkin about

• 67 dembademba // Mar 2, 2013 at 12:23 AM

  I’m gonna put a few quid on toon to win 2-0 tomorrow, cisse to score 1st. Fancy history to repeat itself

• 68 beddersmag // Mar 2, 2013 at 12:36 AM

  Agree with 65. @paul what are you thinking? Raylor was great before his injury and has quality with both feet. Why we would sell him for peanuts is beyond me hes a versatile squad player who has never let us down

• 69 Jail for Ashley // Mar 2, 2013 at 12:45 AM

  Im putting a fiver on the five results which I want to go for us which unfotunately includes a draw for the mackems and a win for QPR.

• 70 manxpie // Mar 2, 2013 at 12:59 AM

  gangster my arse!!
  anyways here’s a great vid of sissoko
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bT9iMfY61dE
  and people liken him to yaya toure but in the 1st 5 mins of this vid of him playing for us i ain’t seen yaya do as much to be honest he’s a monster like!! (i’m not bein racist btw)

• 71 manxpie // Mar 2, 2013 at 1:06 AM

  ryan taylor is very well loved at the club he’s a good back-up in quite a few positions and a good weapon with his free kicks and set pieces (we prob wudda scored a corner if he was fit this season) plus he’s english and knows wat the clubs about it’d be madness selling him!
  i hope he gets 10 mins in the derby and puts 1 over the wall

• 72 Kc-Toon // Mar 2, 2013 at 2:27 AM

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mGs3LjcDpY

  Skip to around 0.25 and tell me how anyone would want to sell Taylor, just for a few extra quid!

• 73 chris_g // Mar 2, 2013 at 3:40 AM

  I’d be quite sad to see Ryan Taylor leave as well, but quite frankly I think he’s now become surplus to requirements.

  I know he’s a versatile player, but his primary position is left back, and since we’ve now signed Haidara as back up to Santon he will have slipped down the pecking order. I think Raylor’s wages are said to be in the region 40-45k pw and, if that’s true, I simply can’t see Ashley continuing to shell out that sort of money for someone who’s now become a 3rd choice LB.

  Nor could it really be argued that we need him as additional cover for RB, because we’ve already got plenty of other players who can do that job just as well, eg. Perch, Anita, Yanga-Mbiwa, Saylor and even Santon, if you believe some of the people on here.

  People also forget that we’ve already got a few other full backs on our books who have recently turned 21 so they’d need to be named in the 25 man squad to be eligible to play in PL games next season. One of them is Paul Dummett and, by all accounts, he’s been doing very well out on loan this season so he’ll probably be ready to be named in our squad next year. His main position is also left back, so I’d see him as the natural replacement for Raylor.

  Wow! Good riddance and a kick up the backside to those that are left hoping for a place in the first team.
  Raylor gone? is more of a surprise.

• 78 89Norcal // Mar 2, 2013 at 5:15 AM

  Couple of interesting match facts for tomorrow, courtesy of SSN:

  -The Swans have lost just two points from leading positions this season, the best record in the top division

  -The Swans have won none of the 14 games they have fallen behind in this season. However, they have managed to avoid defeat in six.

  -No team have used more players in the Premier League this season than Newcastle United (29)

  Hi lads just wondering can ye help me…. Looking to buy tickets for a match….. Is it worth paying for platinum seats or is there better seats in d ground…..

• 80 WWYCD // Mar 2, 2013 at 6:29 AM

  On the Colo/wife issue I know a lot of rumours have been flying around but I have heard, from someone I trust, that neither Colos wife or his kids left Newcastle and he looked very cozy with his missus very recently

  Clearly I could be talking crap but I have no reason not to believe my friend…whether u lot do or not is another thing but if nothing else its another rumour to add to the story

• 81 WWYCD // Mar 2, 2013 at 6:32 AM

  To sit and enjoy the match in comfort go platinum to get involved lose ur voice and enjoy the match with the masses go gallowgate for a mix go leazers would be my advice

• 82 petesull // Mar 2, 2013 at 7:06 AM

  If I was with d lads then I probably would but comin from Australia with my missus and couldn’t see her in that crowd…..

  Ranger out. Not before time, take it from me this lad is dangerous and is as thick as mince.
  The club have done very very well here and no doubt he thinks he is happy, just wait til he goes back down south and gets back with his ‘ crew ‘ ….. I will give him six months before he gets charged and remanded …….

  Bambams,
  I think he’ll already be banged up for rape before that.

  Hard to see Ranger staying out of jail.

  He wasn’t going to make it.
  If he was decent he’d have scored more goals.

  The lad’s a fool. I’m glad he’s no longer connected to the club.
  If he did hurt that lass I hope he gets 10 years.

  Not quite awake yet. Am I reading this right? Ranger is gone? Like really gone? Not just gone down to the shops for some milk gone, but gone gone?

  Any bets on which club/manager is the most stupid and signs the “Gangsta”.

  I’m going to go for Palace.

  BEST NEWS IN AGES!!!
  So glad we’ve finally rid ourselves of this tosser! Wonder if this means his recent arrest is starting to look like it could somewhere and the club wanted shot quickly?
  In all honesty given his salary and lack of proven talent plus the fact he’s a c0ck who doesn’t turn up too training and gets nicked on a weekly basis i really can’t see clubs lining up too sign him

  There’s always someone looking for cheap talent who thinks he’ll be able to rehabilitate naughty players.

  Look at Barton, he’s caused major dramas at every club.
  Yet he always finds a club.

  Petesull,
  you’ll need to camp beside the computer to get straight in for tickets. they’re gold dust for the makem fixture. might be worth writing to the club and explaining your circumstances, I’ve seen in the past that they have helped overseas fans and given them a great day with tickets. Anyway good luck and keep us up to date mate.

  Petesull,
  See above.

  Tads ,
  Where’ve you been.

  Pleased to read that Gangsta Ranger has gone. He was obviously a bad influence on the younger members of the squad. I have been told that he lives in Forest Hall not 10 minutes from the training ground but was rolling in late. What a waste of space.
  I am wondering if MA has been taking a much closer interest in the toon recently and that is why Ranger has been peddled.
  If I’m correct about MA getting more hands on, then perhaps Lamearse’s days are also numbered at SJP. He’ll not be missed by me.
