Newcastle for sale

[Piemaster]

Must resist. I have a huge urge to make up a spoof auction on ebay for this.

Wonder if Mike Ashley has had the same idea.

Newcastle for sale

What, the whole town?

 

[Dave5N]

Newcastle? Who are they?

Sorry, I don't follow lower-league football.

To the tune o Que Sera Sera:

Tell me mam, me mam,
To put the champagne on ice,
We're playing v Scunthorpe twice,
Tell me mam, me mam...

'You shall have a fishy/ In a little dishy/ When the Toon go doon...'

He he!

I was always struck by football pundits saying 'nobody wants to see Newcastle go down'. What? There are millions still glowing from Leeds United's vanities going on the bonfire! It's hilarious. Newcastle going down is funnier than a night out with Russ Abbott.

"go doon"? "Gan doon" man pet surely?

Even in the Championship we will get bigger crowds than most teams in the Premiership...

Said like a true Londoner, you'd better watch out in case you get a magpie in your spokes

The Toon were nearly everyone's* second favourite premiership team partly because of our comedy value - perennial underachievement as a team combined with unswervingly loyal fans and a bunch of exploitative fat cats for a board. I've not had a season ticket for 10 years and tuned out this season after Roy Kinnear's parody of a press conference.

(*excluding sad mackem bar stewards and smoggies of course)

Corrected for you...

+1
The toon were many favourite 2nd team especially after Wimbledon went down shortly after Roy Joe Kinnear was taken ill....

It does amuse me how so many people can pin all their hopes and dreams on a number of 'Messiah's' that were fantastic players and loyal ambassadors for the club but have never proved themselves as managers.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Roy vs Joe Freudian slip LOL obviously I couldn't tell who was the joker and who was the comedian.

As I've got older my love for the Toon has cooled - too many "this week's Messiah is...", too many false dawns and too many bitter disappointments in the 90's and 00's. "You'll never win in colour!" The Aged P (born Co. Durham) remains a devout follower and actually wept on the last day of our season. We'd rather the Toon played attractive entertaining football and won nowt than serve up the dire tripe of recent season's outings.

These days I feel more passionate about Munster Rugby even though the link with Cork/Limerick is via grandparents I never really knew.

I think your all horrible!!!! On BBC that Man U have just accepted 80M for Cristiano Ronaldo which just goes to show how far Newcastle have fallen to be valued at 100M. Though in our defence (If only we had one) It was a Cocknee Barrow Boy who destroyed us, well that and a whole line of useless managers spending fortunes on useless players. Thank goodness for brown ale, saying that though even brown ale is brewed in Gateshead now.

Do you want to revise that dellzeqq? My spotty arse is funnier than a night out with Russ Abbott!

I have no time for that odious little runt either, nor for his equally runt-like (former?) agent.

Would that be the same gentleman that was in charge at Leeds when they went down?
Bit of a coincidence that.

And I thought the Tigers were everyones 2nd favorite team this season, at least for the first few months of the season. I am now completely disillusioned
