No, i am deffo not hoping you will say Big Al - too much too soon!:thumbdown:

The only one to lift spirits would be the 'Special One', but he would want big funds.

I, for some strange reason, think he would fancy it as well - even though we are a long way from the fancy boutiques of Knightsbridge, etc....

The Bobby link might just do it.:thumbup:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Well, the Toon eeked out a 0-0 at Stoke.

BSA survives until the next embarrassment (losing the replay at home).

I can't look.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Oh, Jesus H. Christ! I've just seen the draw for the 4th round of the FA Cup.

If we somehow manage to beat mighty Stoke in the replay at St. James' on Jan 16th, our reward is getting tonked by Arsenal at the Emirates in the next round.

What's the point of this? :mad::mad::mad:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I for one do not want to see Mr Charisma, Allan Shearer, becoming the coach at NUFC. Whenever I see that inane goal celebration and his elbows a flying play inside the penalty box I want to throw something at the screen. His sense of entitlement beggars belief. Putting him and Ian Wright together on the BBC is a recipe for disaster.

Which one's that? :sneaky:

I believe only your avatar knows.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Sack BSA and get someone in who knows how football should be played. I'd suggest Harry Redknapp with former Arsenal defender Tony Adams as his assistant. Both are currently at Portsmouth who are currently in 8th position in the EPL, 8 points above Newcastle. There are only 5 points seperating Portsmouth from 4th place in the league so a good run of results and dropped points by Aston Villa, Everton, Liverpool and Man City could see Pompey in the Champion's League next season.

UEFA Cup is a definite possibility for them if Arsenal or Chelski are both in the FA Cup final as the UEFA Cup place for the winner would go to 7th spot in the EPL.

Good luck against Stoke, and see you at the Emirates (hopefully).

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

No argument from me on that one.

Surely we're not that desperate?

No matter what, some things are just wrong.

Ha! I know your sort. You're more worried about Stoke than the Toon, aren't you?

<sobs>

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Aren't you. League positions are based on results.;)

Should we be :rofl:


Newcastle's stats - P21 W7 D5 L9 Goals scored 27, conceded 33, GD -6, Points 26
Portsmouth's stats - P21 W9 D7 L5 Goals scored 31, conceded 20, GD +11, Points 34
Stoke's stats - P26 W11 D10 L5 Goals scored 42, conceded 33, GD +9, Points 43

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Well, yes, you should at the moment.

<sobs harder>

You're just lucky to avoid Leeds United.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Awww Novo. We'll play you mid-week after the next FA Cup round.

Keep taking the medication in the meantime.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

You got suckered into the sympathy thingy Captain H. we're gonna thrash youse buggers twice in a couple of days.

<checks medication....can't have any more tonight>

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Sorry mate, 'Arry and Tony going nowhere!!!

We've had the guts ripped out of our side with the African Nations Cup though so who knows what'll happen. Mind you we do have a run of reasonable games ahead of us, and like the above poster mentioned, 7th place looks pretty achievable right now!

Come on Newcastle, my Fantasy Football team's doing pi$$ poor thanks to picking a couple of your lads!!! =(

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
