Paphos People

Can he tell me the last time they won a domestic trophy ?
Or any meaningful trophy ?
And one for you........... Can you tell me who the manager was before KK first time round ( hint.. It's not Fat Sam !)
Gary

Before KK's was Ossie Ardiles & before him was Jim Smith

Did you know that Jack Charlton was manager at the TOON 84-85

And to answer your question re last domestic Trophy, it s was the FA Cup in 1955 the last one of six

You've had the books out again Pete, haven't you ?

Me never

I can remember Keegan's second coming like it was yesterday - I was still at school and had wandered over the chippy for some curry, fried rice and chips for my lunch and popped into the newsagent for a Chronicle - knew the bloke in there quite well (toon season ticket holder) and he was absolutely buzzing with the news - the excitement was massive, even though he was such an unknown quantity - we were knackered under Ossie and I somehow just knew KK was going to make everything OK!

Well I should have known it, we are back in the mix. We are 7 points ahead of Bolton with 4 games to go but we have to go to Bolton. If we lose that we are 4 points ahead and they still have to play Spurs who have gone on holiday.
Our last game of the seaason is Arsenal

Oooohhhh that's not looking to favourable is it mate

Apr 19 Newcastle (a)

Apr 26 Middlesbrough (h)

May 3 Bolton (a)

May 11 Arsenal (h)

So how many points do you think you'll get from the last 4 matches then

We have:

Apr 20 Sunderland (h) Score 3-1 to us

Apr 26 West Ham (a) Score 1-2 to us

May 5 Chelsea (h) Score 1-1 as per usual

May 11 Everton (a) Score 1-1 season over

I fancy us to get a possible 8 points

On yesterday's performance we will not get any points at all. None.
I can't believe how poor we were and can't understand why.
Everyone and I mean everyone, all those names I've been bigging up were awful.
You'd have thought they'd never met each other before.
Citeh weren't interested and we still lost !

I can imagine Keano kicking off in the dressing room after the match

Maybe your player thought they'd be safe from relegation after the back2back wins, not thinking that maybe Bolton & Fulham would win again

I expect them to be up for the derby against us next week, should be a good game, when was the last time you beat us at SJP

I'm not into stats and I know we haven't done well against you recently. It was 2-1 in November 2000 I think.

just thought i would post the results of boro's next 4 games

boro 2 v bolton 0
sunderland 1 v boro 2
boro 3 v portsmouth 0
boro 2 v man city 1

12 points more than enough to put us top of the NE


anyway am gonna be off line from tomorrow for a week or so (moving to peyia and need to sort out the broadband and stuff)

Good Luck with your move Smog, I mean Smurf
Gary

Seems you have the easiest run-in thats for sure but I'll bet you a Mars Bar, you don't get 12 points, which is what you'll need to get above us, btw, if Wigan win their next game, they go above you both in the table

You're not going down Gary, not even close - I've been telling you that for weeks! Bolton are royally stuffed - 4 games left, 3 away from home and now Kevin Davies is banned for 2 of them - even if you get no more points you'll be fine.

Actually saw your game on Saturday and didn't think you were that bad - took a dodgy penalty and fluke mis-hit shot to beat you. There was actually a few mackems in the George - had a small chuckle at their expense! Hopefully the defeat will have suitably knocked confidence ahead of the derby....

Where in Peyia you moving to smurf?

solohou street not far from the gym on the hill into it, should suit us fine, more space and the like for the little un

That's 2 minutes away from our place - I'm just behind the football stadium. Will probably see you up in The Mill some time if you're a man who likes a beer

Smurf 'll be the only customer with two heads so you'll have no trouble recognising him
Gary

Aye, I'll have to dig the old suit out!

If Boro beat Bolton this weekend, it will greatly help us and Bolton are without Kevin Davies as well. I've studied the games and reckon we need another point, the sooner the better.
Gary

be a bit hard drinking in one of them like

will probably find the mill at some point, got the next 2 weeks off would be rude not too

we wont need 12 points to fis\nish above you lot, reckon 7 will do, so a mars bar bet that we finish above the deluded is on

So let me get this right, you're currently 3 points behind us & you reckon 7 point will be enough to finish above us, so what you're saying is, we're only going to get 3 points from our remaining 4 games
And you say we're deluded You'll be lucky to get 6 from the last 4 games, espcially with Citey & Pompay fighting it out for a European spot, Bolton & the Makems fighting to survive, at best you'll get maybe 5 points (total)

I know one thing for sure, with the Mars I got off Booboogaloo, the box I'm owed by Gary & the one of you, I'm gonna get rather fat this summer

this summer ??????
I said I'd give you a box of mars bars, I didn't say when !
Gary

Well the way its going Gary, I'll have enough this summer to last until you get that box over to me

to be honest i will be surprised if you get 3 points and even if you get 4 we will still finish above you on goal difference

Not sure if its all those chemicals/smog you've been breathing for all those decades mate but I think you need to change your avatar to this either that or you're even more deluded than everyone else in the NE

You sound confident mate that we're not going to get even 3 points from our remaining 4 games Oh I'm so going to 'love it' when we get bragging rights at the end of the season because I am so going to use them

You see, even DP think's you're off your head, as all he can do is normally he'd agree with something anyone says but on this occasion, its a

Really...... I can't remember agreeing on the codswallop you serve up.
Anyway Pete what's the matter with you ? seems like you are disagreeing with Smurf, me and even one of your own Martin, it couldn't be nerves getting to you................. could it ?
Ha Gary

So close yet so far away

Gary, if you don't agree with anything I say, you always comment, not just put & I've got nothing to be nervous about mate, I'm living the life here

As for me not agreeing to anything you or Smurf says, is because that codswallops, as you both know you're going to end up below us at the end of the season

As for Martin, not sure where his heads at, as it sounds to me like he thinks you're going to beat us this weekend, which I disagree with wholeheartedly I think we're going to hammer you to make up for the debacle at the Stade de Fright, where we played like a sunday league team

Plus if I starting agreeing with everything everyone said, I wouldn't be true to myself, check out my signatire

Waffle.
I put three cos I thought what Smurf said was funny. There was no need to put a comment.
Of course you may be right and I may often agree with folk on here, whereas you are simply argumentative.
Gary

Well if putting my own opinions about my team across which disagree with yours is called argumentative, then arrest me your honour, as I am guilty as charged

As I said, If I agreed with everything everyone else said, I wouldn't be true to myself, so sorry, that's life

This could go on forever, I shouldn't even be talking to you this week, certainly not as Sunday gets nearer.
Seems like you got the hump cos I thought something Smurf said was funny.
Gary

Gary mate,

Me thinks you're reading to much into my posts mate, Why would I get the hump I don't take anything said on this forum serious mate, its here for friendly banter, nothing else... anyone who takes it serious shouldn't bother reading it

Are you suggesting I should clear off?
No Pete only joking, I was fishing mate, that's all.
Save me the sermon though.
You should know by now, banter comes in many forms.
Gary

_________________
So close yet so far away

No sermons from me mate, I say it as it is, no clouds covering my speeches

That's what I like about you mate, the banter, I know you don't take it to heart & need any

Now bogof & get a whiskey or 2 to calm your nerves for Sunday, you'll need them

newcastle may scrape one lucky win in there last 4 games, but i doubt they will do much once they are safe, think the game on 26th will decide who will finish top in the NE

Smurf mate, you need to listen to Sky news, according to those in the know, Newcastle are already safe, its everyone, including yourself which are still in the relegation battle that the words of those in the know, not me mate, so why would we bother, we bother because we want to finish higher than we are & the Spurts & Spams are close enough to take if results go our way

Plus the added bonus of bragging rights & don't forget, the player at the TOON are fighting for their jobs also, as KK will clears a few out come the summer

you believe everything you hear on the news, that means you believe what alan mcinally said last week 'outside the top four middlesbrough are the best by far, the best by far' he even had to repeat it,

now i am not stupid enough to believe alan mcinally but until each team gets enough to be safe then no team is (in other words from spurs down and spurs only need 1 point)

Well after this weekend, we'll be safe especially if Captain Fantastics score comes true

Then you'll have to face the backlash next weekend when you face the makems

I think after we beat bolton all three NE teams will be mathematically safe

So do you think if you beat Bolton this weekend, your team are going to take it easy on the Makems next weekend I don't think so you'll still want bragging rights over them, its always the way

When we beat them this weekend & then you beat them next, they're going to be seriously close to the relegation scramble for the last 2 games, they'd better hope the teams below them lose as well

We might as well not turn up for the next two games then eh Pete. You've got it all sorted haven't you ?
Gary

Reading losing comfortably at Arsenal at the minute - they're not out of the woods yet.

actually no i dont think we will take it easy against the mackems, i feel that boro will beat bolton, fulham will not win, sunderland will beat the magpies and that will leave all 3 NE teams safe by the end of tomorrow

Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear

You're going to beat Bolton

So do you have a plan 'B'....... Well that's a bummer, isn't it

I can 't believe that. What the hell are Boro playing at ?
That's opened up a big can of worms that has.
Our game with Boro next week will be like a cup final now.
Unless of course we win tomorrow !!!!!!!!!
Gary

Also with Wigan drawing, that puts them above you both as it stands

If you weren't playing us tomorrow Gary, I'd wish you luck but as you are, I'm sorry

typical boro performance, should have been at least 3 up inside the first 5 minutes, bolton weathered the onslaught then to be fair the were the better team in the 2nd half, thought their keeper and mccann were the best players on the park today,


couldn't believe the start we made like, how we missed the chances we did i'll never know , never mind we will still finish on top of the NE
