Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
No, i am deffo not hoping you will say Big Al - too much too soon!
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.

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?

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.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
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
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.
... could see Pompey in the Champion's League next season.

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!!! =(
