Besty's Irish surprise.
Ordinarily I’d have been something like ‘meh whatever’ upon hearing the news of Leon Best’s impending call to international arms, but this time it’s different. This time I winced when I heard the the news and I sincerely hope that Best can come through the double header against Macedonia and Uruguay unscathed.
Bare bones is a term that is rather applicable to Newcastle at the moment and we are hardly blessed with striking options. Currently we have Nile Ranger who looks to be struggling to get out of bed in the morning to go and kick a ball and run around for a bit, Shefki Kuqi who looks as though he has been up all night serving kebab’s and turfing pissheads out of his shop, Shola Ameobi who only really technically has half a face at the moment, although rumour has it that he trips over the other half of it, Peter Lovenkrands who erm….. exactly, and Leon Best who is the in-form man of the moment. Staggering.
These four misfits are charged with scoring the goals to finish our season strongly. It’s hardly ideal, in fact it’s far from ideal, but it is what it is and it’s these lads that we must put some faith in from now until the end of the season.
Something else that is far from ideal is our, ahem, star striker disappearing off for international duty. Don’t get me wrong, fair play to the guy as his goals and performances certainly deserve a recall into the international fold, but from a purely selfish view through black and white eyes I shudder to think what would happen if he were to pick up an injury.
Now I expect some comments along the lines how ‘it’s pathetic that we are relying on Best’ or how ‘weak our squad is’. Well deal with it as no amount of moaning and grizzling is going to change it between now and the end of the season.
It’s backs against the wall time and it’s time to get behind the lads that we have left from now until the end of the season. We need a wall of noise at St James’ Park, we need to make the opposition fear it and get on their backs at every opportunity. The players we have are waning after what has been a tough season, so we need to try and help drag them across the finishing line.
I’ll be doing just that at Stoke, as will Marktoon, Jay Jay, Dan4toon, davidtoon4life, shrewsmag and many many others that I will have missed. I’ll be drunk, and I’ll be rowdy, but I’ll be right behind the lads from the moment I step off the train!
Now is the time to be Newcastle – United!
P.S. I’ve not plugged the discussion forum for quite some time, but just in case you didn’t already know I’d like to make you aware that NUFCblog.co.uk has it’s own discussion forum where you can toddle off and create your own debate. I like to think of it as a chill out room where you can get away from me being gobby and relax a little!

Big Leon will pick up a ”knock” against Stoke and will unfortunately have to pull out of his 2 big international clashes. hopefully.
“This time I winced when I heard the the news and I sincerely hope that Best can come through the double header against Macedonia and Uruguay unscathed.”
Dear me is it really getting that bad, We could replace Best with a manequin dummy and dump him in an offside position and you couldnt tell the fecking difference…
Im more bothered about Sholas fitness which should be better after the couple of week break
The fact Lovenkrands wasn’t even mentioned says it all. And rightly so, he’s about as much use on the pitch as a cock flavoured lollipop.
CC- Mannequins can score goals? :O i thought they just stood naked in dorty positions in shops
Moreno-
Hope Tiote comes back unscathed too….
CC aye mate said earlier,them uruguay lads like to put there foot in from time to time
MM aye mate thats a good point tiote is a worry,i kna our luck
CC – To be fair though, despite the amount of offsides (which is frustrating) Best is the only one who is putting the ball in the net at the minute. Stoke will just batter Shola and he’ll disappear.
Jobey – Mannequins can do dorty things
Munich – Agreed.
more like you do dorty things to mannequins
Moreno – Forgot about Lovenkrands
He’s in now.
Cock flavoured lollipop
Jobey – It’s funny you say that you know as I was stroking one in Next the other day. The mrs found it funny until I asked if I could sniff the pants the mannequin was wearing
I bet you ask to go to Next for that specific reason
If Lovenkrands was actually a cock flavoured Lollipop, he wouldn’t play well against West Ham….
Upson would be all over him
Moreno- He’d be in his back pocket
Best has proved we can rely on him this season, he plays and he scores. I still think Nile gets too much stick, Pardew said he was late a few times and people make him out to be some scumbag – every time he comes on the pitch he gives his all and does well.
I’m sure if he was so much of a problem Pardew wouldn’t even let him play.
I’ve said a few times,I really like Best I hope he has a future here, he will only improve the more game time he gets.
Jobey – Yes, I do
ice
Aye mate we live in hope of an effective front pairing who can trap a medicine ball and time a run off the last man once in a while, Ranger and Shola are the best bet until the summer.
Unlikely because leon best is mint (apparantly)
Icedog…how’s you today big man ?
Lionel Best has performed immensely when called upon this season. Well done to the lad…we all like a tryer, that’s why Shola’s so popular..
Off to work. Back on soon. Can’t imagine that there will be much going on this evening what with what’s happened in Japan
toonsy…have you sorted that radgy out who was bad mouthing your eminent blog ?
Munich – Shola only gets the trying part right in two games a year
I would have more faith in Shola and I cant believe im saying that and I still believe that once Ranger gets his 1st goal he could be a goodun
CC,
bit of a typo there mate
you wrote (apparantly) when you really meant (actually)
Don’t worry mate happens to us all
Munich – I don’t need to mate. Other peoples words have done that for me.
And it isn’t my blog – It’s everyones
Reet, work.
Here in Germany they think the world is coming to an end…even blathering on about iodine tablets
. Pity like we’ve got one of those Atomic things in downtown Munich…no fault lines though fortunately…
Heard a little tit bit today about that Indian story in the Mirror.
Apparently there is interest in the club from an Indian gadgie – the club are aware of it and are denying any knowledge, but that’s because they don’t quite know what to make of it – they have been stung before with ‘potential’ offers.
But Ashley isn’t going to give it away, he has the club running so it won’t cost him another penny. It will all depend on how serious these Indians are.
Here’s hoping….
toonsy…is that what you call it what you do ..”work”…!
MM getting there mate thanks,got me-sel sorted,i think
harder for brother like,but had good chat on phone with him,as its to late for me to get there,its t/morrow as he gave all his organs,says it helps to think he is still about in some form,if thats helps him go for it
Evening all
Good Ice, keep your chin up man. Life is so unfair sometimes.
Yalreet jay jay..
Jay hows it going Lad
Ice I think that is a good thing atlest it will help other and maybe they wont have to go through the heartache of losing a loved one.
Seen we’re linked with a 14 million pound bid for Bafetembi Gomis? on skysports. i’d be happy with him!
I would never of thought they’d come a time where we’d be worried that Best is going on international duty but fair play too him!
Also really can’t wait for Stoke on Saturday. Can’t stand their fans
DAVE cheers m8.where is wor batty,heard he was trying to sort org for them
Got a link Jobey?
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_3493023,00.html
aye. might be a bit out of our league, but if we could get him id be chuffed.
ffs ignore me, some daft kunt posted it on the board, dated back to fecking 2008 my bad.
Ice I was thinking the same mate
I know he had to meet the Fat Man earlier to get a few box’s of 2nd’s for the stall, but I thought he would have been back by now, unless Mike has took him out for dinner 
Jobey, classic !
that guy took me for a kunt
Jobey – To be fair were probably still after a striker from that league and for a similar price
dan4toon- I’ve seen a lot about scouting the french league, so that’s why i believed it. Feel like a pr1ck now though
I’m sound thank MM and BD. Dan did toonsy tell you he’s scared of wearing a toon top in Stoke
c@nts slagging me wen iam not here
I’ve done it before like. Actually wouldn’t mind Gomis still, he’s not getting his game at Lyon week in week out
if we sign him now i’ll need to be crowned as god.
jay jay – Nah he didn’t mention it
but I’ve heard there not the nicest bunch!
Batty dont worry I stuck up for you
where were you doing work for .org 
Jay he is a big fuking pussy, but it could be a simple case of puma not making tops big enough
Jobey if we did sign him, the archives pages will come in very handy
Well, to be fair, best has proven in the recent games that he has it and good on him and pardew for giving him a chance. its clear when he plays his is connected to the club and the fans and has the desire to score.
also cant wait for stoke, beat the fukin horrible rugby team
dave why whats up with org
.org isnt working for me, has it shut down?
Aye I’m looking forward to Stoke.
BATTY you been fixing richie pc,hes gone missing,org been off all neet
Batty did you see your classic I posted on the last thread ?
dog bil gates couldnt get richies laptop fixed
aye a did dave
did ya read what chuck wrote too you 
How can people say ‘Ranger is probably a better bet than Best’
Ranger has scored 3 goals in 51 appearances and missed sitter after sitter. He couldn’t tie Best’s bootlaces at the minute.
aye them old comodore c64 are a bit out of date, just like the food Toonsy buys
BATTY
did you know its daves 70th birthday today,have you wished him happy birthday
Batts about you calling him something
Really hope Bestie can stay fit…will be interesting to see more from a Best/Shola partnership….after all, they’ll be our premier league strike force if no money is spent
dog i had too help the old bugger oot last night
Ice DJG still didn’t wish me a H/B I thought he was a decent Lad too

DJG how could you I thought you were a mate
