The crack is that Chimbonda, Cisse, Diouf and Yorke all attended Overfriendly Martin's party the other Thursday and have all been fined a week's wages. There is a strong rumour doing the rounds that Keane demanded an apology and didn't get one from Chimbonda and Yorke. He has gone off it and those two players have been suspended.
Only a rumour mind.
For definate though is that FJK has told Shay Given to pretend it's his party this Thursday, they're hoping Kenwyne Jones, Kieron Richardson and Steed Malbranque attend !
You couldn't make it up !

I'm venturing into the land of the unwashed again this weekend. I'm going to see The Christians at the Tyne Journal Theatre in Westgate Road.
We are having a meal before the concert and I'm toying with the idea of staying over. Mrs DP wants to, I'd rather get a taxi home.
We'll probably bump into loads of dirty smelly folk wearing dirty smelly black and white shirts when Sid James' kicks out cos we'll be there for five.
Hope I survive !

Yeah you should, just to make sure you don't upset the local with how you look don't forget the bell around the neck also & shout 'Unclean, Unclean' so the Geordies know to keep away wouldn't want any of them to catch what it is you've got

It's terrible for you that you have to go to the civilised bit of the North East for a decent night out - I really feel for you!

That doesn't seem right coming from someone who's last address was Washington.

Dino, tbh Martin claims to have been born in Newcastle so to him and his folk, moving to Washington really was a step up!

The reason I use them Dino is to show I'm not being serious because if I don't use them, it means I've got my Administrator head on & members like you who don't know me, need to watch what they're posting

As for being compared to a 9 yr old, its still a massive step up from being compared to a mackem (small 'm') which would be insulting

Pete, can't you try to be original. This geordie (small g) was started by me yonks ago.

Oh I don't think so Gary, as I've always said I was a plackie geordie (small g) as I wasn't born there, long before you joine dthe site so get you're own script writers

Damn, I don't really know which side to favour in this debate.

I am a born and bred Geordie (big G), born North of the Tyne, the right side and proud to be one. However I am not like all of the others in that I am not a lemming who has to follow the Toon just because they are there. If I was to pick a preferred NE team it would be Sunderland so I therefore feel an empathy with Gary and Dino.

Maybe we could keep the discussion to the pros and cons of the football teams and not the actual areas. If we continue to slag of the areas then I may be forced to side with Pete and Martin and I sure the world will come to an end if that ever happens.

Gary, Enjoy the Christians, brill sound makers. Have a good few of their records in my vast collection, why not consider using the Metro and coming down to Whitley for your overnight stay. We don't bite down here you know.

Cheers.

John

You're only saying that Gary because you don't like to abmit you're wrong & I'm right

I can't wait for the day Pete and Gary meet up i gotta be there when the big day happens A great slagging match over footie.Oh what fun that will be

who do you think will win, i am opening up a betting book, my fav is Gary but i will give you odds at 1000 to 1 on pete winning, and not taking bets on Gary as it a sure win

Best you remortgage your house then Mark, as you're gonna lose a packet

No chance Pete, Remember i seen Gary you have not and i seen his gob in action a sure win

Oh well if it's his gob you're betting on, then you may be right

For anything else, don't forget, the bigger they are, the faster they fall

Looker here Pete, I'm sick of you pming me telling me how hard you are. Now you're starting it on open forum.
We both know that whoever gets the first shot in will probably win.
As you are aware, that is likely to be me.
7,8,9, 10 out!!!
And the winner is...and STILL the World Bushwhacker Champion....Discopants !!!

I don't mind Pete having last word on everything ?? but it is the words before hand that i dislike

Tell you what Pete u so right about the bigger they are the faster they fall. A few yrs back i had a fight with a very big man about 6ft tall and about 20 stone,and he fell like a stone to, so slow and slugish he was, it was easy to beat him. But at first i did think he going to beat me . But now i am old and a Grandad my fighting days are over BTW this bloke started it, i never start a fight

Ha !
We are above you Martin.

A Mackem in Skunksville. A story by Gary.
Yesterday at about 4.40pm I arrived in Skunksville. Now I have to say, as Cities go, it is a real city. It is the focal point of the North East and a vibrant place.
We walked up Pink Lane and eyed a bar called Rafferty's . We went in ordered drinks and I noticed about 4 men wearing hideous black and white striped shirts. After a couple of sips of beer and a toast to Titus Bramble, the pub quickly filled up with the unwashed.
Mrs DP thought we were stood next to Mike Ashley, then we noticed that there were 200 Mike Ashleys in the pub.We promised each other we would burn our coats today, so many skunks brushed past or bumped into us.
I noticed a couple of groups of lads that I vaguely knew and sure enough, one of them asked out loud what a Mackem was doing in here. After being told to have a word with himself ( by Mrs DP !)we supped up and left.
We went into Newgate Street and entered The Gate which was lit up and looked great from the outside.I t looked great from the inside too with all it's bars and eating places.
We went into Mood bar and Mrs DP was soon in a mood as we asked for a pint of John Smiths and 2 glasses of wine at £3.15 each and you keepthe bottle.That wine offer was not on says the sexy barmaid.What! says the equally sexy (ahem) Mrs DP why then is it advertised on the wall ?
After a brief flurry of expletives we got what she wanted ! Tere was a sign on the wall saying Home of The Toon and a sign above the toilets saying "LOOS" to which some wag had added ERS !
I have to say every bar and every dinery was packed to the rafters and it was still only 5.30pm !
After an hour in there we ventured outside and walked to the Bigg Market. We decided we were too posh to drink here along with hundreds of black and white half wits so we moved on to Grey Street and entered a delightful Wine bar called Luga opposite Fitzgerald's.
Met some lovely couples in there going to see Paul Weller at The Arena. After an hour in their company we left, shared a kebab( classy or what) and entered the Tyne Journal theatre at about 7.45pm to find The Christians had come on stage at 7.30pm prompt. What !?
They did an acoustic set which was good but not brilliant. They had a break then finished at 9.50pm. Our taxi was booked at 11.15pm.
We went into The Lounge opposite the station and I indulged in a bit of totty watching as you do.I couldn't help but burst into song a couple of times to the tune of When Johnny Comes Marching Home..........
He Likes His Flashy Underwear, Cisse Cisse !
He has Designer Facial Hair, Cisse Cisse !
He'll score a goal with half a chance,
We'll never send him back to France.
Djibril Cisse, Sunderland's Number 9 !!!
Paul Weller kicked out at 11.05pm and thousands more eneterd the bars while we got outr taxi home and I watched the Lads on Football First singing " He likes his Flashy Underwear, Cisse Cisse !!"
Got up this morning and burnt our coats.
Gary

Gary, I've not once said anything to you in my pm's about how hard I am, I've left that to your imagination with what I have said, which it seems is working by the sounds of it

It was quite funny today at the market, as I saw a guy walking round wearing a 'Bushwackers' t-shirt on & it made laugh & think of you

As for getting the first shot in, feel free mate, I never throw the first punch

Oh how hard are you ?
I'm beginning to think you don't know the first thing about fighting, letting me have the first shot !
When two big blokes collide the one who fires first nearly always wins.
You should know that.
Anyway what about my night out in Skunksville ?
Gary

You can think what you want Gary, just remember, throwing the first punch doesn't always mean you're going to land it

As for figting, I don't fight mate why would I want to scrap my knuckles on your face I'll let you think about that one

Well of course I'm gonna land it, I'm gonna Bushwhack you aren't I? doh

Well done.

Surviving the drop is about the only realistic battle we have left this season, unless we get some wealthy new owners and a decent manager in asap.

What ? Don't tell Pete, he thinks you'll win the league !!

Out of the mouthpiece into Shear hell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rob Lee's annunciation of Alan Shearer is another sign of just how deep Newcastle United have tumbled down the rabbit hole

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog...-premierleague

Like Christmas decorations in the high street the first "Shearer for Newcastle" headlines seem to come earlier every year.

Whether this is an auspicious sign for Match of the Day's most gifted Hansen-parrotter one hesitates to say but this week Rob Lee told the Newcastle fanzine, The Mag, that Shearer was finally up for the job. Lee is widely regarded as Shearer's sock puppet, or "representative on earth", as convention demands we refer to such exalted mouthpieces. He is the Irwin Stelzer to Alan's Rupert Murdoch and whether he will be as spectacularly, hilariously wrong about almost everything, as Stelzer has proved himself to be, only time will show.

As things stand, Alan's representative on earth declares: "Mike Ashley would solve a lot of his problems by appointing Alan and accepting that mistakes have been made. Alan could be a priceless get-out-of-jail-free card."

Why, it's a Christmas miracle! And yet, and yet... It is a measure of how deeply Newcastle United have tumbled down the rabbit hole that none of this should be deemed especially bizarre.

We know this is the club that Kevin Keegan actually ran away from his circus to join but there was more method than madness in his lengthy attempt to install the untried Shearer as his No2 - or would have been in a set-up where Keegan was allowed to pick so much as the curtains.

But Shearer did not fancy the heir apparent role, seemingly judging that his accession to the throne at Newcastle must be a coronation as opposed to a job interview.

You get a strong whiff of this sense of entitlement in Lee's interview. "I can honestly say, yes, Alan Shearer will manage Newcastle," he states. "Until now I would have just said that he would one day but I finally believe that he would tomorrow if the job is how he wants it."

If we are to interpret Lee's annunciation correctly, he suspects that Ashley will not finalise a sale by January and will therefore find himself in a bit of spot, with a serious face-saving challenge to pull off - much as the Virgin Mary did all those Christmases ago when she found herself with child.

And so thoughts turn to Shearer as saviour. Or Shearer's thoughts do, evidently. One hates to preach wariness but Newcastle fans surely know to their cost that the journey from frying pan to fire can be far from the end of it and that a fresh hell can await even beyond the last one.

Still, it is the season of hope and the word "messiah" is bandied about so regularly in relation to Newcastle that there is no earthly reason we should not slap it once again on to the island-tufted head of Alan Shearer and cross our fingers that it will all end happily, as with that earlier triumph of fantasy over circumstance. As long as you count inevitable crucifixion followed by iffy resurrection as a happy ending, obviously.

Well, to the delight of some, I have to say these have been bad weeks for us Mackems. In fact it's weekends like this when you question your sanity and ask yourself why you bother.
First, let me say that to pick up draws at Chelsea and Boro is commendable so while I'll never say well done let's just say you are making progress.
That's more than I can say about us. To lose at home to Pompey then Wist Am then Bolton who score 4 ! is truly relegation form.
I know 4 or 5 points more takes you to top 8 but I am very worried about my club. Very worried. The spiel from Keane about a top 10 finish looks a million miles away.
One thing I did notice against Bolton is what a physically big team they are, We looked like midgets. Kenwyne Jones is our big man and they had 6 players bigger than him. They don't look like a team who will struggle. Neither do Fulham. Right now, things ain't good.
Never mind, Man Utd away this week, and my daft son is going. He wants his head looking at !

Gary all teams have a bad run now it is your turn and i am sure they will turn around and fight back, and start winning again. Do you think it is i have moved over to Newcastle that has done it, they got all upset about it, OK give them a ring and tell them they got me back

Mark mate, it must be nice being a 'floater'

Yes it is Pete, as i can change teams who are winning at that time, so really my team never lose
