    I think you're thinking of the putrefied shark they eat in Iceland.

    TRUE and all over the media now.

    Mike Ashley is prepared to sell Newcastle Utd if the right offer is made to him.

    The club is available at a bargain price of £267m.!!

    I am yes, apologies Febbos. Although if I ever have to eat Lutefisk again I might literally gag until I turn inside out.

    I've never had herring/surströmming or lutfisk, so it's all good! <cheers>

    Good man, I think it's more an American-Swedish dish. It's basically salted fish made with Lye. And it's bloody awful.

    (Can't wait for PLT to arrive and give everyone a bollocking for straying off-topic! It makes his day! Sad ****er)

    I reckon all of this is on Brucey's summer shopping list, so we should be fine!

    Yeah he did. He said he'd rather do 10 challenges than eat a mouthful of the bad fish dish.

    That's what I said back in January when we got Meyler. I've not been overly impressed with his performances in the Championship, so God knows what he'll be like in the Prem

    He is prone to misplacing passes but he was certainly a huge part of our promotion. 5 goals +(I think) from CM and about 5 pens he earned. He's not the prettiest to watch but definitely effective.

    I said a while back we'd need a new cm pairing when we go up because Meyler and Quinn will get battered and would get outplayed and I still believe that. Donnytiger said I didn't know anything about football....we'll see :)

    No I don't think we need bardsley or what was the point in giving Rosie a new contract

    I've said before on here that what we need to do is improve our squad. The starting point is not who is at the top of the tree, but who is at the bottom.

    If we bring in a new striker then the question is who falls out of the squad. If we bring in, say, Austin then Fryatt drops to number 2 and McLean falls out of the squad. If we bring in Elmander the same thing happens but Fryatt stays as 1 and Elmander takes the number 2 spot. McLean out again. Either way you have improved your squad and survival chances.

    Seems to me that Steve Bruce is doing exactly that. He is gradually turning the weakest areas of the squad into the strongest areas.

    Hence two new strikers in our targets.

    Lets be honest, if we assume that Chester was the best player in our 25 man squad at the end of last season, but is the worst player in the 25 man squad by the start of next season, we'll all be happy.

    Last year our problem really was squad strength. When Aluko was injured we really wobbled. We need to ensure that our second string, in every position, is more than good enough to make the step up to premiership level. Can you imagine playing Man U with the Jak in goal?

    This is where the loan system will come in. Filling those areas where we have insufficient Premiership standard cover.

    I hope!
