Good comeback

He actually said " “He is the best young lad I have ever come across in my time" Snarf

That would require an articulated lorry (hopefully)

I got through at 9.15 after a million attempts. The order was: - 30x recorded fella saying "Sorry, all our operators are busy, please call later" - Then connected but with soothing hold music for 10 minutes. Stay on the line - Then it started ringing, and kept ringing for at least 5 minutes. Again stay on the line - The spoke to the nice lady, who whilst a pleasure to speak to, wasn't the quickest. All in all, with hold music, ringing and booking process combined, it took 25 minutes to book two tickets. At that rate for one booking, and with that antiquated online system basically useless, not surprised it's taking forever for people to get through on the lines.

The story on the OS with the headline "TICKET OFFICE OPEN FROM 7AM" is a teeny bit misleading isn't it, given they aren't going to start answering the phones until 8.30

Yes - sorry.

This is definitely not true.

From what I hear from people close(ish) to him, he is likely to be off. That would also make sense of why it's gone quiet on transfers. Presumably we know the money is coming but trying to do the deals before it's common knowledge which will push the prices through the roof. I hope he stays but I think it's pretty unlikely.

It all makes sense, doesn't it? - Pardew and Ashley both cockney geezers - Ashley falls out with Hughton, wants to bring in his own yes man - Ashley taps up his mate Pardew in the close season - Pardew not getting on NC cortese, jumps at it - They do the deal – Ashley says as soon as Hughton slips up, I’ll come and get you - Ashley starts undermining Hughton – no new contract, fires backroom staff and doesn’t replace, trying to get him to walk, but he won’t - In the meantime Pardew loses interest at Saints, neglects close season, hence rubbish start and unfit players i.e. Lambert - Self-fulfilling prophecy - bad start, Pardew goes - Hughton unfortunately does rather well, gets Newcastle up to 11th, smash Sunderland 5-1, fans like him, players like him, Ashley can’t fire him without looking like a mug until they start losing a few games - Then the first sign of any kind of slump, Ashley takes his chance and fires him - Pardew on first plane to Newcastle before the job’s even been advertised/ interviewed - Pardew appointed 6 months time – Newcastle in turmoil, Pardew fired, Shearer brought in Newcastle relegated.

Mate you are a legend - I'm staying in Holetown, I'll have a look and see if it's still there. Sounds spot on Nice one cheers

Staying in Holetown - the Beach View. You know it? Looks amaaazing

On a similar note - I'm going to be in Barbados... can anyone offer any local knowledge as to where might be showing it? I actually tried to move the holiday but the missus went mental

I just voted 45 times. And now it's 36%. Fishy cretins can't even programme a web survey properly

Yeah I'm in. And I hate you.

Shot in the arse And he's to blame He can't pronounce His own name

Just repeating the rumour that was doing the rounds last night on the other thread re SSN announcing he'd signed, then the club denying it. No proof, just repeating the rumour as lots of people don't seem to be aware of it...

He failed the medical, didn't he?

Turn up in paper party hats and sing happy birthday every few songs. He'll love it

Matty's next book: "Get rich or Ditrying" (coat)

If you're going to go onto other club's boards and try and wind them up, it's probably best to do it without coming across as illiterate. Doesn't really reflect that well and kind of undermines your position when they all rip the **** out of you

I've just installed Google Chrome and Flash player and it's working in that F*cked in IE though

I just get the google search page as well I'm all paid up... wtf?
