Re: So Newcastle
i think most fans like nothing better than 'one of their own' coming through the ranks, at least you feel as if they have an assocaition with the club / fans, as opposed to some French or Ghanian twat who had never heard of your club until his agent told him they wanted to buy him, and who kisses the badge one minute and sods off the next
we have some good ones just now, Noble, Collison, Stanislas, Sears and Tomkins are all regulars or have broken into the team, plus we have another couple who have been on the subs bench recently...so things looking good.
The problem as ever, i.e. Lampard, Ferdinand x 2, Defoe, J.Cole, Carrick, G.Johnson to name but a few is trying to hang onto them when the big boys come sniffing
I would love it if one day, just once, when Man Utd or Liverpool or Chelsea have made a bid for one of the home grown guys, that he goes on live TV to say that they could poke whatever contract they were offering, and not to bother coming back, cos his dream was to play for West Ham, the club he has always supported, and loves......a pipe dream I guess

Ah well, being a Boro lass I am sad...but well done the Geordies (I lived there for a while, so love Newcastle).

Re: So Newcastle
I actually watched the match at a Geordie mate's apartment along with another Boro fan and the Geordie's missus was going on to us like "Ah, you have to be happy for Shearer, don't you?"
NO! I don't think you get it, pet!
