Are newcastle the biggest laughing stock in football?

They might be after this...

Keegan says he didn't know anything about Wise being appointed. You couldn't make it up.

Mike Ashley will be sacking everyone and picking the side himself, Michael Knighton style before long.

I would love it, just love it

Are newcastle the biggest laughing stock in football?

not whilst titus bramble is around although transfer window is still open....

They sure as hell make life interesting! I bet they've been an editors dream in the last month . . . which other lower to mid table team get as many column inches?!

and yet the fans think they are the best team in the world, fair play to the loyal supporters but fook me Newcastle must be the most frustrating football team in the world to follow.
All season its going to be rash decision after another rash decision. Fook me even Woodgate turned them down despite offering a better wage.

When Woodie(sicknote) turns you down then you just know..........

Hmmm.....just a few classics - Make your own mind up but the second link sums it up

Newcastle stay (joint) top!

Van Nistelroy to Newcastle?

Newcastle lift 1st trophy in 37 years

Read the book "50 years of hurt" by Ged Clarke which shows that this is not a new thing at SJP its boardroom wrangles,dopey signings & even dopeyer managerial appointments have been going on since the 50's...

It's the media that love to portray this image of Newcastle fans but if you were ask the real fans on Tyneside they'll tell you we know we're shite.

It amazes me why Liverpool don't make as many headlines as the Toon, they're doing equally shite compared to their expectations.

You may think you're sh1te, but you think your 'special', after Allardyce got sacked, I lost count of the amount oftimes I heard NUFC fans ringing fooite phone ins saying things like "Sam didn't buy into the Newcastle ethos", "No one else understands football like us" etc etc. It's a self perpetuating myth imho. How the hell do you know how other fans feel about their clubs?! Other clubs want would love their team to play nice football AND win things but the 2 very very rarely go hand in hand and are generally happy to sacrifice the former, for the latter.

Nothing against NUFC as I had 5 happy years in the city, just mho.

"The match for them is a bit like people down south going to the theatre. They want to be entertained."
Keegan on the Geordie passion for football, before putting on Much Ado About Nothing at St James' Park on Saturday.

and fair play - the guys down south have well and truly been entertained over the last few days

[happygooner]

Well they didn't want to lose 1-0 did they

[Postiga]

If any of you think Newcastle is bad i would love to hear what you's think of Hearts.

[Cassius Marcellus]

I love 'em

Packed with stuffing with a bit of orange peel in there as well, and a dollop of mustard on the side. Plateful of roasties and half a ton of broccoli.

Luvverlee
