After 90 minutes the draw was probably the fair result. Naturally England weren’t the better of the two sides but they held their own and put in a battling performance with some well disciplined/last gasp defending.
The French always looked like this could slip into a higher gear but in the end they seemed to be happy with the draw. England looked tired, after a performance that was similar to the way that Chelsea faired against Barcelona in the Champions League semi’s when the Spanish giants passed and passed, over and over again. Much like the Spaniards, the French couldn’t break England down. Gerrard and Parker both put in excellent shifts, and looked shattered by the end of it.
On to Monsieur Cabaye. Our man in the middle put in a great performance for France and was subbed off after 80 minutes to be replaced by Hatem Ben Arfa. Tyneside for Tyneside. How long has it been since we’ve heard that!? Yohan did well to avoid a booking but really he didn’t do much wrong and it was hardly his fault that the ref was poor was it?!
Ben Arfa didn’t have much time to impress but did have some good touches to showcase and seemed to be deployed up front with Karim Benzema as Laurent Blanc set his team up to try and grab a winning goal.
As much as I love seeing NUFC represented on the biggest stage, it does make me worried about two things. No prizes for guessing injury is one of them and the other is the potential for great form so leading to bids from other clubs.
Now I cant remember bids for one of our lot after a good showing in the European Championship or World Cup but I do remember all too well that night in Germany when our £17m hitman did his knee, and we all know where that ended up.
I wish HBA, Cabaye and Timmy all the best with the rest of their possible participation in the Euros…. Stay fit and play well…. just not that well!
Onwards, Upwards.

Cabaye was good and showed what we already knew, he’s a dirty little player. Some ferocious tackling from him. Well done to Carr and the recruitment team to pick up a player like that for a few million. Now he’s a full international for France. I hope that Benny and him have a good Euros. I would like both teams to top the group but I think Sweden and Ukraine will put up a good fight.
Would like to see Cabaye and Ben Arfa link up together in this tournament. They know how each other works and moves now, so I was actually surprised to see that substitution
Not to be horrible to our lads, but I hope France go out asap. You can imagine if they get to the final we’ll have no chance of getting Debuchy
Thought he looked good going forward yesterday.
Jon R -Really hope we’ve done a deal for Debuchy already and they just waiting to announce after Euros, cause if not we ‘ll have no chance after last night ,thought he was very good.
Thought the French were a bit below par expected more tbh, think the humidity got to both teams in the end. Sweden and Ukraine will be no walk over either and their game was really entertaining and faster paced than ours.
DJG- your right Cabaye was fouling left right and centre last night ,but he always pats fouled player on the back ,smiles and offers a hand up ,like he’s not intentionally gone in hard and it seems to work as he rarely gets booked .
Was also impressed by Russia who are my dark horse tip prior to tournament.
I see Sky sports news are saying Giroud looks to be Arsenal bound then .Funny how Arsenal and Chelsea have failed to really strengthen untill Toon start knocking on the top 5 door .Now all of a sudden Wenger decides to splash the cash on Poldolski and poss Giroud and Chelseas Roman gets interested in his team again and buys Hazard and Hulk
.Reading between the lines I think Toon and Spuds have given the big boys a bit of a fright.
Some of the worst journalism I have ever seen in the daily mail; magpies eye maiga? Incredible
Kim – hope you’re right on Debuchy. He’s said he wants to come to England, so that leaves about 6 teams who could get him. Manure are the ones who worry me, and if they get him they might also go for Cabaye
Jon R, Bugger, there’s a thought
you had to say it didn’t you
LST@6 They ain’t called the daily fail for nowt
Apparently a few sights suggesting Spurs to bid £10m for Krul after Euros .They must be joking if they think he’s only worth that ,fecking cheapskates
Talking of cheapskates, see Ajax are telling us to double our £4m bid for Anita if we are interested. Do we think he’s worth £8m ? personally I wouldn’t pay that much for him, I say walk away at that price.
I thought the worst journalism comment was aimed at me….and in that split second I was annoyed yet happy that someone thought I was a journalist…albeit a bad one haha
I wouldn’t worry about great form potentially costing us cabaye or Ben arfa. These just played in the Prem and got a ton of press thanks to their success and the club doing so well. Clubs no all about them already. This isn’t like arshavin in 2008.
If anything, it would just up their fee
Good to see Lawro putting his foot in it again.In yesterdays mirror he suggested he wouldn’t pick Lescott as ” he always has a mistake in him”
Kim
The initial source of the krul story was caughtoffside.com
the credibility of the story is summed up by its last paragraph:
“Newcastle are thought to be willing to part with Krul for the right price but value him at closer to £15 million. The Tyneside club regard Fraser Forster, the 24-year-old ‘keeper who has spent the last two seasons on loan at SPL champions Celtic, as a future club captain and would therefore be willing to listen to a substantial offer for Krul.”
That future club captain would be Fraser Forster who the club agreed to sell for £2m about 6 months ago…
see cabaye has tweeted to say he would have something to say later,is it to say hes leaveing or that his pal is joining toon,oh the wait
whey that was a quick goal
make that 2 quick ones
Jeepers the Greek footie team are collapsing quicker than their economy
cc@14- Thanks hadn’t seen that .
You are right kimtoon. The Greeks may need the German team to come out at half time to help them out
Sky report days real and inter are now watching debuchy.
Good read Billy I agree about Cabaye he has become quiet a dirty player, which I never really noticed before the 2nd half of the season.
MDS@20
off subject, i see todays news about Glasgow Rangers is not looking too good
liquidation by friday, and could start next season in jock division 3

if and when this happens, nearly all the first team squad are going to jump ship, and am just wandering if anyone fancys any of their players, who might be able to do a job for us next season?? by the way, am a celtic fan, and am not jumping up and down cheering, at whats going on at Ibrox
Think Cabaye played more of a defensive role yesterday similar to how we played him early last season, and he proved in the 2nd half of the season that it’s not his best position. He done ok yesterday and Benny really didn’t get long enough but I’m sure his time will come against Sweden or Ukraine when they rest Ribery or Nasri.
Think Debuchy was superb yesterday though, he is exactly what we are lacking at rightback, he was great defensively but it was his offensive play that impressed me … infact, all he was missing was a goal line clearance!!
He is a touch of class and we really should have done that deal before the Euros, coz he may well play himself out of our budget. hope not though.
@Sharpy. I don’t believe it proved that tbh. I think it showed he can excel in either position.
As good as Cabaye is as one of the attacking 3, I would like to see him alongside Tiote in the 2, with HBA playing in the centre ahead of them and us bring in a new attacking right mid.
This would give HBA more freedom, and our right back less work to do having to cover for him.
Cabaye’s contribution to our defensive start can’t be undervalued. His tackling stats were great, and most interceptions in the league speaks for itself.
He could be our Xabi Alonso
ST – I certainly wasn’t undervaluing his early performances when he was played deeper, but in my opinion he looked like he was playing with shackles on (was well as he played), in the 4-3-3 he looked far happier and it seemed more natural to him.
I think he proved yesterday that tackling isn’t the strongest part of his game, but with time on the ball he is excellent at moving the game forward.
news is harry redknapp has left the spuds
Ian Abrahams @Moose_talkSPORT
Hearing from 2 sources UNCONFIRMED Harry Redknapp has left Spurs – I am trying to get official conformation
Bollox – looks like it’s not true
ESPN Soccernet @ESPNSoccernet
Harry Redknapp has told ESPN that he has not resigned from his job at #THFC after rumours suggested he had quit – http://ctx.ly/r/48532
Expand
Why would he leave?
…because they want to deduct the correct tax from his wages
The reason most deals don’t get done before the Euros is because either the players want to wait to see if they have more options post tournament or the selling club(if still under contract) will wait because they will get higher offers if the player has a good tournament. I’m fairly sure most if not all buying clubs would like to get deals tied up prior to the Euros, in most cases that just isn’t possible.
See it kicked off in Poland tonight – Russia win tonight and I reckon there’ll be loads more bother over there like.
I nearly put a bet on ‘Arry becoming manager at Shanghai when he didn’t get the England job. I don’t think he’ll stay at Spuds if they sell Modric coz he’s always said they wouldn’t and if they do it will show him to be the stupid bell end that he really is!!!!
Ice – just seen saw ya post about Cabayes tweet, wonder what the fuck all that’s about?!
Come on Cabaye… you’re such a tease!
aye its funny i think a lot of fans thought if anyboby was to leave toon it would be tiote but he has came out and said he wants to stay,has cabaye i dont think so only saying i leave those things to my agent,mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
redknapp has said he is not leaveing spuds
Batty, you should be ashamed of yourself spreading such rumours
…statement from floppy chops has just been on ITV.
Shame.
Richie that’s why I think old ‘arry’s leaving to coach the Cayman islands
MDS
Sharpy…aye, there was a bit botha at the Russians first game too
Ice – Cabaye was one of my favourite players last season and thought his attitude was excellent, but if he or his agent is looking for a move away from Newcastle after only one season with us I’ll be pissed right off!!!
Cracking goal for Poland that like!!
TS9@24 -I feel a bit sorry for Rangers fans as it’s not them to blame for the whole shitty mess the club is in .It’s not like they said don’t pay any tax and most fans are not aware of the financal shinanigans that go on behind the scene. Yes you can look at the yearly accounts but theres ways and means of showing ,or not as the case may be and most fans arn’t interested in that stuff they just wanna follow their club. As always it’s the fans that suffer ,not the board or the players .
Aye Richie, I saw that the other day. They were attacking Polish stewards after the game. Sharpy, there’ll be hell on regardless between these two. Bit of a fuck up this game being played on ‘Russia Day’!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/euro-2012/9327483/Euro-2012-Polish-and-Russian-fans-injured-in-clash-as-march-descends-into-violence-on-Russia-Day.html
Wow ,that polish captain got some shot on him
fantastic goal that,best one so far.
Right rodz. How do you have Poland vs Russia on Russia day in Poland’s national stadium?
The Euros wouldn’t be the Euros without a good Eastern European dust up. The Polish Police will be busy filling the water cannons as we speak.
I’m not too hot on my history MDS, but given the fierce rivalry, and hardcore hooligan element on both sides, they could’ve picked a better day for the clash, or moved it, and maybe minimised the inevitable. Ah well, wait and see what happens. Light the touch paper and stand back……
The Polish coppers aren’t gona stand for nee shit anyway. There’ll be a few bollock-munching German Shepherds getting getting their late night snacks in, methinks
….Sharpy, and wiring up their LRADs
Rod – we may even see a ripped up Sports Direct sign being thrown from the crowds!!
I have a feeling the polish cops will have left their rules and regulations for crowd dispersal at home tonight
MDS – defo a few Russians waking up with headaches in the morning and it won’t be coz of the Polish pale ale
Sharpy- this is what makes the euros special and unique….centuries of warfare and hatred among the participants. We don’t really have anything like that over here in the americas
Yeah I seen a bit of old fashioned scrapping going on at the game, it was a bit like Belfast at the weekend
Just watching trouble between polish & russian fans on itv news. Polish police just letting some of it happen !
. Wonder if UEFA will threaten to expel both countrys from tournament like they did with us back in the day.
MDS – I’m not sure tonights casualities will share the sentiment like, but I know what you mean
It’s the sonic cannons that make you piss yourself that I want to see used. Well done to the Polish team, most had written them and Ukraine off, I like Borussia Dortmund so am a big fan of Lewandowski and that midfielder with long name (b- something), hope they both get through. Hopefully Ukraine will finish second and France will have a short tournament, meaning Debuchy doesn’t get too much attention.
ANDY@56,Do you mean Blaszczykowski the captain ?
Kim
, canny goal from him like. I tend to mutter the names when I say them just so it sounds remotely like the name
.
That’s the one
Andy ,they are right tongue twisters ,my mate is learning Russian she loves it ,she’s got a natural gift for it ,already fluent in French ,Spanish and speaks a bit of Italian too. I’m very envious as can barely master English meself
Kim
Take that ya bastards
I love German myself.
On Rangers
I reckon we should get Naismith as a back up as we’ll only have three strikers left and so he could be used in cup games and off the bench. Dont pay attention to the SPL so don’t know anymore of their players, know a fair few Celtic players but that’s it.
Andy ,My daughter is learning German at the moment ,she’s got two wee German girls in her nursery and their mums are really pleased they have a teacher who can speak to them in German albeit pidgeon at the moment. She loves all things German and goes to Berlin in november on holiday . I blame Rammstein ,I think that’s how it’s spelt ,she loves that group .
Andy ,The Rangers thing gets sorted on friday doesn’t it?
i hate germans
Ice ,any particular reason ,other than the obvious
Kimtoon, Ice is still bitter for being conscripted during the first world war
Ice I agree with you
mds
KIM aye the obvious,every country ime been they are big-headed arse-holes treat people as 2nd class,plus there not getting my sun bed
i see m/u got that kid powell 3mill was worth a punt at that price imo
MDS
well in there Lad
MDS cheeky c———-
Ice ,that’s what yor towels for isn’t it.
nice to go to malta to see them get treated like shite,good on them
Right ,I’m off ,v.tired ,cya lads ‘n’ lasses.
Kim all the best Lass im going meself, im wrecked tonight
me too,laters
Kim
I was ten (primary six in Scotland) when I started learning it, hated every minute of it as the teacher was a b-tch, but high school I absolutely loved every minute cus my German teacher was brilliant and enthusiastic, mind you, you wouldn’t want to get on her bad side. Best teacher for those she liked, scariest for those who didn’t do the hm/wk.
And the Rangers liquidation is to finalised on Monday.

Weird it sent twice

Right I’m off too, Olympic torch passes through town at 11.18am do will be there to cheer it on
8.18am
Cabaye = Velvet Sledgehammer
always looks innocent but don’t be fooled.. It doesn’t hurt to have a bit of mongrel in you, it can give you an added edge… Saying that Richie has a shit load of mongrel in him and that only makes him more of a bastard
I’m bored…
surely we have signed someone…. surely
I know, I know, the transfer window hasn’t opened officially yet…
almost time for a beer … looking forward to an icy cold fosters..
Cabaye looks a far better player pushed further up the field.
He creates chances and gets shots off.
I wish he was allowed to play more advanced for us.
@Aussie
Another Fosters?
Troy, tell me more about this Cabaye playing further forward thing you mentioned… I don’t think you have raised the point before… do tell
Haven’t cracked a Fosters as yet mate
Morning Aussie.
I must write an article on it sometime.
I thought all you Aussies drank Fosters. ?
I’ve never heard you vehemently denying it.
What time is it down under?
@Aussie
Are you on facebook?
Around 3.40pm in the arvo for me Troy…
Maybe one day we can have a Fosters together mate.. Imagine the merriment we would have, aha the laughs…
Not on Facebook mate…. I won’t offend people who are on FB by giving my true thoughts on it
@aussie
It can be quite enlightening to see who your blogging to. I think you have one but all your photos have you holding cans of your favourite Fossys!
Your real nickname is Faussie isn’t it?
I doubt you have any true thoughts Strop!
Troy… he claims Aussies don’t drink Fosters, unaware that the Paul Hogan show(which proves they do) was broadcast in th UK
Troy
No cameras are allowed when I start drinking Troy.. There can be no evidence obtained that later can be used in a court of law
Do you have face book Troy? who should I look for?
Faussie
I bet you pissed yourself laughing when you came up with that one
clever boy
Bloody Richietoon again… I knew you were lurking in the ether just waiting to ponce
I suspect the “ponce” was a Freudian slip rather than any attempt at humour on your part
Now it is generally used to refer to someone (usually a male) who dresses in nicer clothing and acts in a polished fashion; often interchangable with fag or pussy, but not necessarily as derogatory: a ponce is not necessarily homosexual, nor are they necessarily passive or weak, but they would tend to be thought of as metrosexual or gay in their manner of dress.
@Richie
Someone must drink the shit cos no one over here does.
Come on Faussie. Cans up in the air.
Aussie…ah ok then you ponce(UK meaning
)
certainly not a prince mate
Troy…did you go to a Toon match v Dynamo Kiev friendly about ’82? I can’t find owt on it but I’m sure Oleg Blokhin played in it(current Ukraine coach), think we won 2-1
I think Troys more of a metrosexual dresser than me, with his ugg boots, crop tops and hipsters, strictly a jeans and tshirt fella meself
Looks like Debuchy wants to come to the Toon
http://tinyurl.com/ct5taaf
agree Rich
although Ice does mention that you look dapper in a white mac
@Richie
Play Kiev abroad? Defo not if abroad.
If home, possibly but I can’t recall it.
@Faussie
You still reading your tactics book? I always had a good chuckle at that one when you would complicate an easy game.
Troy….it’s more of an off white colour……with a slightly stained lining
It was at St James’, fairly sure it was ’82 as think it was World Cup year and most of the USSR’s team played for Kiev so we all thought we’d get snotted.
First sentence was for Strop, sometimes hard to tell you 2 apart
Troy, with your revolutionary – football is a simple game… really – tactics, I can see in the not to distant future, the need not to have any managers. The players will be able to pick up the general vibe of what you tactics revolve around and play winning football..
I look forward to the day…
3HW…yeah read that, would be a canny signing but I won’t be holding my breath……you can if you want to aussie
Richie, take that piss out of me all you want but never ever say I am like Troy
You crossed the line there fella
I tried holding my breath a few weeks back while waiting for Richie to post an intelligent comment
Won’t be doing that again, I black out
3HW… I think he will sign, and that is what Cabaye was coyly hinting at on twitter
Regarding Debuchy, it seems too public to be true.. most of our signings have been done on the quiet of late.. I can’t see our money men being happy with the attention the potential signing is receiving.. not going to happen…
Susan….hope so, I think it’s more likely to be something along those lines, rather than saying he’s leaving.
Aussie…people keep saying that, but have they? I think most have been in the papers before they happened to varying degrees.
Twitter makes me laugh.. how old is Cabaye? ? Why not just say what you have got to say…. feckin attention seeking if you ask me.. it would be like some one coming on here and saying ‘ I have explosive news that will break this week and it will be catastrophic! I can’t say anymore than that’
Really what kind of plonker would carry on like that
@faussie
You know it’s a compliment to be compared with me.
I bet you are cracking open a can of fozzys now.
Cabaye was Rich as he was leaving Lille and they said goodbye to him during his last game.. Santon was about a week before. Cisse was nothing. I guess you are right but most of the signings have not been the ones we were linked with the most.. And I reckon it is the case with Debuchy
Konig Pilsener for me Troy… ahhhhhhh, its like an angel is pissing on my tongue
I thought Fosters was just marketed as ‘Australias favorite beer’ in the UK but its actually almost unheard of over there and they actually drink XXXX or whatever. The brewing industry is one of the biggest cons in the world. Micro brewreys and real ale is the way to go.
dus any 1 know why they are removing the sports direct logo from the roof of sjp
https://twitter.com/#!/search/sports%20direct/slideshow/photos?url=https%3A%2F%2Fp.twimg.com%2FAvQdNVHCAAEFsym.jpg
Debuchy is a cracking signing but cannot see it im afraid… he just seems a calibre above a player we could hope to get
DJG – you are correct mate.. Just ignore Troy, he comes up with one joke a year and he milks it for all it is worth..
I don’t drink Fosters, just a bit of a joke between Richie, Troy and I…..
Batty maybe they have found a new sponsor?
aye liam thats what i was thinking
Aussie…aye but we were heavily linked with Cabaye and although at the time of signing Cisse it came out the blue, we’d also been linked with him the previous Summer. Our only signing so far this close season has been quite public……that said we’re linked with every robber and his dog so the chances of no links at all are slim
maybe because of all the knock off signed Newcastle tops you get now days, SD is distancing themselves from the contoversay
Batty…for the Olympics would be my guess
Or cashley has sold out to craig whyte
Agree Rich, hard to call now days…
Liam…I wouldn’t say he’s a higher calibre player than Cabaye who signed for us when we were a mid table team
…….the shop window that is the Euros will be the main problem though
If Debuchy is a level above Liam, it doesn’t say much for the player you were saying we were after from the dutch league?
spill the beans mate
Rich exactly and being frances first choice right back makes him appear even more established.
Would be massive coup
Aussie I have given up hope on that one.
Me ole journo pal says he has heard no more which normally isnt a good sign unfortunately.
However what he showed me cannot be ignored so hopefully something still lingers.
He is a calibre of player who would get us all and has actually featured already in the euros
Sill the beans mate
we won’t hold you to it……promise
Liam….to be fair he’s only become 1st choice due to Sagna’s injury….fingers crossed though, stranger things have happened
Aussie I dont want to ruin the suprise if it happened
When it defo isnt ill reveal but as it stands its about 70/30 against so still hope!
Incredibly the main stumbling block on the deal (apparently) is the fact it depends on another deal going through aswell which is interesting.
Richie – thats true!
If old carr is to be believed we could have some good players in the summer
I don’t like surprises Liam
No wuckers on the player, hope we see more in than out.. that is my main concern..
Liam….here’s hoping.
Reet off for me “walkabout” in the outback, risking life and limb..laters
Watch out for dingo’s and red belly black snakes Rich…
Meal time for me.. laters as well
Nah aussie it relies on a player coming in aswell as my mystery lad….
The removal of the SD sign on the Gallowgate roof is for the Olympics, as the games have their own official sponsors very much like the Champions League. No doubt the tacky sign will be back for next season.
Liam @146-You are such a tease ,I can’t stand the wait
That other lad coming in ,is that to us as well or to the mystery guys club?
A different league .co are saying Debuchy wants to join up with Cabaye on Tyneside and has made it known to the Toon hierachy.
Fcuking slow news day…hate this time of year & it’s made even worse that we nowt really to complain about
So I guess we’ll be seeing MAcDonalds and Coke signs all over SJP for a while then , charming .
TGS…maybe they’ll listen to you, ignored me when I said because of the Olympics
So Cabaye’s news was to give away a shirt
……someone said that didn’t they?
Club call are saying that Newcastle are keeping an eye on Malaga striker Rondon. However the 20m asking price is said to be an issue
that shoul have killed the story well before it was typed up…
Almost not worth sensible people commenting on it
……doh I’ve just commented
You stalking me Rich..
So it looks like Cabaye’s interesting twitter news was a shirt competition
Nope, I have taste
Damn Richie you beat me to it
Hang on you posted before me
retracting statement
Jon R
Aussie…reference your question….right back at ya!
I hope all the school girl twitterers have learnt their lesson
I really thought Debuchy was coming
Rich
That said, i’m deffo gonna enter. Anything to get a piece of that dreamboat
Troy doesn’t think Cabaye is a dreamboat, he says he doesn’t push deep enough
He is left a little unsatisfied with his performance:-)
Aussie @165
Brilliant.
Meh,oh well. He still might sign though
Aussie..
…lacks penetration in other words
I thought Troy would prefer him hard in the tackle
Susan@167 -We live in hope ,I have quite a good feeling we will get him .
Susan…Keep the faith, my source tells me he “may or may not” sign, thats a 1 in 2 chance, you won’t find much better odds that that on any player
Rich
Troy is said to be happy the Cabaye doesn’t get into the box too often
*Happy that*
hello think ive clicked on a sex site here by mistake
might have know richie would be on it
He has dragged the conversation down Ice, I tried to keep it above board but you know how it goes with Rich
Ice, it is easy to click on a sex site by mistake mate, specially when you have them save in ‘my favourites’
Ice…I think Kim started it
….reet off to do a bit, a bit of what I don’t know but I’m off to do it!
AMF i knew you would try and get the odd perv shot down mate, some have so many faces
.
think this french kid will go for the club that pays the best cash imo,its alright haveing a good mate at the club but at the end of the day your mate does not buy your loaf of bread
RICHIE you takeing your “mac”with you
KIM richie says you are trying to give him a bad name,no need to try he already has one
Agree Ice, I don’t think he will come either mate ..
Haha – Cabayes hardly going to announce a new signing even if it is a mate of his, thats like Collocini announcing our year end results !
Club would go mental and rightly so
Some people eh!
Ice@181 -I dunno ,go off to eat lunch ,come back to find I get the blame for Richies fall from grace
Kim
Apparently the hammers are looking at our old target Maiga.. be interesting to see how he goes in the pl if he does sign.. he would no doubt signed for us if cisse hadn’t become available..
KIM you will learn “never”turn your back on some,lot of baddies knocking aboot
AMF another one with a dicky knee they say
You can trust the Aussie bloke Kim
don’t believe what you read on here or in the papers, its not true….honest
Dicky knee
more like a certain Cisse fella being available on the cheap..
KIM aye as amf says the honest guys on here will watch your back
look out back-stabbers about
Isn’t there a song called the backstabbers 1970′s era ?
Aussie ,Dicky Knee ,who’s he play for?
We’ve had a number of dicky knees playing for us over the years Kim
Aussie
The O’Jays-The Backstabbers ,just remembered.
ah…Aussie’s signature tune
….Portugals strip is gash like
well whats the craic who have we signed today and who has been sold ?
Richie I think AMF has a hold of you now lad
Dave..nobody and nobody…….and Strop will be a kip now so we don’t have to keep the comments simple for him
Denmark’s pulled one back, DanishToon will be jumping all over like a daft lad
Richie I heard Danishtoon IS a daft Lad
As for Stroppy he seems to have a soft spot for you
Dave…To be fair, I am really loveable
Di matteo just signed 2yrs contract with chelsea fc.
AOD ,They took their time to appoint him ,doubt any manager in their right mind would go there anymore ,well not unless they just after a quick buck anyway.
KIM its only because PEP has finally said no,wants a year out,kind of 2nd choice then
Game on
well hope holland gan oot in next game
cannot quite gan oot but defeat would make it hard
Hi guys. Sorry for the lack of anything today. Never got finished until midday and had people round doing quotes for anew boiler as mine finally went bang whilst I was away
So no heating and no hot water which is fun with an 8 week old baby
Still, Holland are being taught a lesson here aren’t they? Granted they’ve had a couple of chances, but over the two games they just look shocking playing with only throbbing Robin up front. Gomez looks good though.
Ice @205 Very true.
Germany giving the Dutch a bit of a spanking here ,my heart bleeds for that nice man RVP..
hahaha, was literally just about to type “is Toonsy deed?!”
…hope the boiler doesn’t cost too much anyway mate. I had to pay £250 just to replace a fan/motor last year. And it was fitted by a mate so I know he didn’t rip me off. Boilers are reet twats like.
I divorced my boiler, cost me a fecking fortune
BOOM BOOM
My old baxi back boiler is nearly 20 yrs old ,I know I will be forced to have a combi next time but Everyone I know who has one moans they breakdown too easy. Apparently they only last 15 yr tops and the heater exchange mechinism goes on em or something like that. Anyway Toonsy good luck with it ,it’s only when they breakdown we realise how much we need em.
Whey the Daily fails insider gives it an 80% chance, that’s good enough for me!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2158839/Transfer-latest-Mathieu-Debuchy-fancies-Newcastle-move.html
…sure you’re not daft anyway Toonsy, but it’s definitely worth pricing the parts on tinterweb once the fault is diagnosed, so you know what you’re being charged in labour.
I might as well tell you of my nightmare seeing as this is ‘boilertwatsblog.co.uk’. I awoke one morning in sub zero temperatures, with proper man-flu, phoned in sick, then realised I had no boiler action.
There was about 10inches of snow on my roof, which had started turning to ice and melting. The wadge of snow/ice had forced my guttering off and the melting snow had been dripping directly into the flue on my outside wall and flooded the motor.
So, not only did I have to stay at home for 4 days, ill, I also had no hot water or heating for two weeks in sub zero temperatures, and a fucked gutter.
Rich – I’m off to get his name printed on my shirt on the basis of his say so
Which reminds me, has that shirt turned up yet Kim? I spoke to the bloke on Friday and he said he would get on it then so I don’t think it will have done but you never know. It’s being processed though
Rod – It’s been on its way out for ages now and even back when I brought the house it was one thing I knew would need doing pretty sharpish. Luckily it’s the summer but it’s still pretty cold during the night, especially for the lad who feels it more than us adults do
Getting two quotes, one for a new boiler like for like plus making sure the system is ok, then getting a quote for a whole new combi system just to see really.
Toonsy….he’s always a 100%…..full of crap
Evening everyone – Ze Germans are looking good tonight mind aren’t they?!
Ice – I see Cabayes big twitter news was he’s giving his France v Ukraine shirt away as a prize for guessing the score. Can’t believe you were suggesting he or his agent were looking for a move!! … only a paranoid nutter would suggest such a thing!!
Kim – forgot to ask how the boy is doing yesterday? hope hes a bit better
Toonsy ,No not come yet .
On the boiler what have you got at the moment ?
SHARPY i didnt suggest anything i just wrote what he twatted,you must be paranoid
Yeah Toonsy, it ain’t good with the bairn in the hoos. Best of luck.
I’d go the combi route if you can afford it. Alphas are good.
…there’s got to be a Toon-based plumber who posts on here……..! Get yer quotes oot!
Sharpy ,It’s wierd as he’s eating better but still fitting loads, 13 so far today ! ,they are only shorties around 6 to 20 seconds but he ain’t quite right ,he’s on antibiotics though which might be affecting his 3 aed’s. As long as he don’t throw a biggy and go into status we should be o.k.
Kim – Pass. An old one, and a broken one
The bloke who came round today said it was a reliable one and I just looked at him
Potterton I think. It’ll all be sorted soon enough anyway. I just pray for a mini heatwave in the meantime
Loving the Debuchy chat thats going on, really hope we do get him, Simpson out for £4m and Debuchy in for £6.5m/8m euros is a canny switch.
BTW
Toonsy, when will it be when my article is put up? Don’t mean to sound annoying, just wondering. Good luck with the boiler by the way.
RVP scores
just to piss me off.
Sharpy
)
. Its annoying me that the commentators are talking about players that could sign for Man U ect… Especially when they were talking about Hummels, ridiculous, why would he want to go to Man U? Massive stadiums in Germany, just won the bundesliga title, guarenteed CL football and is playing with great team mates, what can Man U offer that Dortmund can’t.
That gomez looks brill, shame he’s got a douchebag face (
And with that RVP scores
Toonsy you might have a long wait this rains here for 10 more days they reckon
Andy – The GB one? I was keeping it until the squads are near enough ready to be announced
I don’t think I have ever known the Germans have a bad tournament ,they always turn it on.
Toonsy
?
Cool, thought that might’ve been the case
That Daily Fail Article that thinks there’s a 4/5 chance of us getting Debuchy is saying we’re thinking about moving for Defoe, why would he move from one teams bench to another
Andy ,I wouldn’t mind Defoe but I thought he wanted to stay in London.
Kim – fingers crossed, 13 times sounds alot in one day like but good that they are short ones, hope he gets through it soon, can’t be nice like.
Ice – just a bit, I felt like a right knacker thinking bad of the poor kid, when all he was doing was offering his fans/followers the opportunity to win his shirt, and he’s working on Debuchy for us … Always liked that lad me
Toonsy – a broken boiler is just what you need with a baby in toe like, remember ours broke when Ryan was 6mths, it was fixable but off over the weekend and it was a reet f*ck on!!
Mr knob cheese is going crackers now tho
Andy, it just says …”Jermain Defoe has also been mentioned”, yeah, by them.
As much as I think he could do a job for us, any journalist worth their salt should know his profile/potential is diametrically opposed to our transfer criteria.
knob cheese and crackers
rod i was right aboot redknap
Rodz
I think you’ve just answered yourt own statement, no DM journo is worth their dandruff, let alone salt
Bats, hhmmm, indeed you could be onto something. He’s hardly renowned for speaking the truth anyway. Just read the BBC article. He’s probably just pissed off the rumour had spread so fast. Makes a pleasant change for that c*nt to be on the receiving end anyway.
True indeed, Andy. I wouldn’t use that paper to start a fire, never mind rumour. At least they have a sense of humour though:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2158804/Wayne-Rooney-takes-inspiration-Michael-Fassbenders-Prometheus-character-new-blonde-crop.html
HAHAHA
…he looks more like one of these:
http://www.newstreetmall.com/grow-your-own-mr-grass-head-indoor-outdoor-fun-toy-11263-p.asp
…it’s like a BEFORE and AFTER the transplant photo.
i see SKY and BT sign new 3yr deal for PL footy 3bill
Redknap gone! Confirmed by ssn.
a 70% increase,wonder who will pay for it
Andy – sorry mate, I’ve just seen ya post, wasn’t ignoring buddy. Do you know what, when he said Hummels to Utd I thought, he and Kompany at City would make one hell of a partnership in defence.
The Germans just looked outstanding going forward. Took them to win before the tournament kicked off and would be amazed if they are not in the final after tonights performance like
Harry Redknapp handed in his letter of resignation last week. It’s taken the Spurs board this long to work out what it said..
Toonsy bad news on your boiler lad, if I was you I would go for a worcester combi boiler, super job, tis just a pity you didn’t live near me
my son in law is a Plumber and a guy I tattoo is warehouse manager for a plumbers suppliers. My heat exchanger went on my boiler 2 yrs ago and instead of fixing it as it was 10 yrs old I got a new one cheaper than the parts.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/7811092/Redknapp-to-leave-Spurs-
…and he said this only last night:
“No, I haven’t resigned and I have no idea why it’s being suggested I have.
“This is an outrage – an absolute liberty for people to be putting around this kind of rumour on the internet.”
!!!!
….what a complete and utter cunt. Why do the press even bother speaking/listening to him, when they can make shit up just as well themselves.
Arry a goner then
Aye Dave, Worcester Bosch and Alphas are the daddies. I think Worcester Bosch used to rule the market, but Alpha caught them up on the quality stakes. That’s what my mate said anyway. I think it all depends how big your hoos is really, and which one suits your requirements best.
BOILER FIGHT!!!!
My Alpha would chin your Worcester, hands tied behind its back.
pardew to spuds then so the storeys will go ffs
Inevitable innit.
The Daily Mail heard it here first eh Ice
Rod yeah mate I think you hit the nail on the head with that, mine is a smaller one as we only have 8 rads
I’m off anyway, all this boiler talk has got me pretty excited
Neet neet ladies and gents, take care of yersells, and each other.
Waa
Can’t see the comments on my phone again
DAVE your lass gives you plenty work to keep you warm mate
laters ROD
Rod be good,
even though she thinks im going to clear it up for a week or 2
Ice yer right mate she has more decorating planned for me soon, but she will have to wait till I clear my diary which might be a while as im still taking bookings
DAVE sure you can feel a frozen shoulder comeing on mate,its hard to lift your hands above your head
Haaaahaaaa
. Know loads of people have already commented on it but thats the first time I’ve seen actual evidence of it
.
the floppy-chopped b@stard is leaving
Ice
I think my carpal tunnel is going to start playing up, and when it does it’s hard to hold a paint roller.
I didn’t mind getting a plasterer or a tiler in as they are different skills, but any deorating or joinery stuf I have to do meself.
The funny thing is a guy I tattoo is a painter and decorator and he would do it for me but I couldn’t lower meself to get someone else to do it as I would feel real bad.
Andy it does look as if the sloppy chops stories are true but I think i’ll still wait before getting excited about it
DAVE its here mate
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/
Cheers Ice it does look certain like.
Reet im off get a pot noodle
then bed
me to mate,laters
Awesome news
Come and nick Demba Ba off us now you vomit-faced cunt!
It’s true what Batty said @245 about Harry’s resignation letter. Somebody posted a copy of it on twitter

Big Dave says:
June 13, 2012 at 17:37
well whats the craic who have we signed today and who has been sold ?
Richie I think AMF has a hold of you now lad
201 Big Dave says:
June 13, 2012 at 17:51
Richie I heard Danishtoon IS a daft Lad As for Stroppy he seems to have a soft spot for you
Someone seems a tad jealous
I’m sure Richie still loves you Big Dave, not to worry
So long, Droopy Dog!
Old Harry is like a cat…. no matter which way he is bounced around he will always land on his feet… funny stuff though… a master manipulator of the media gets some of his own back
Aussie
…as I said, I am really loveable
Much as I hate old floppy chops, he is a decent manager. Sounds like he’s been sacked rather than resigned as Levy said “it’s not a decision I, and the board have taken lightly”…….Joe Kinnear to Spurs?
Klinsmann to Spurs would be a decent bet…
Anyone see The Moose on Twitter? Reckons Moyes to Spuds is nearly a done deal and compo has been agreed.
Until the Director of Communication of Everton replied to his Tweet branding him a liar and that he can expect legal action.
To which The Moose apologizes and then withdraws his “insider knowledge”
Dropped his arse much?
good luck Harry, thats what happens when you start talking about Newcastle players contracts too much and too loud – Cheick didn’t like that and now you off.
good luck by the way, you will need it and one more tip – keep your mouth shut.
Bet droopy is proper pissed now he refrained from the England job out of respect
Cue Bobby Bullshit and his ITK source with his Pardew to Spurts bullshi… story.
Good old twitchy weedled £3 million compo out of spuds which after tax comes to about £3 million…
Best news ive had in ages lets see you get Ba and Krul now you rubber faced fecker
Can’t converse with you Rich
– people are starting to get suspisious of us
Aussie…suspicious of you
