    I sincerely hope you're right but we also appointed Joe Kinnear and paid his wages for a year with the specific remit of signing players, and signed no one in that time <laugh>

    That's not the point, I didn't say a European Cup final and a major trophy was comparable to Sunderland did I? Oh and btw, Jozy Altidore has come closer to a major trophy than you lot in the last 60 years. :emoticon-0172-mooni:emoticon-0110-tongu

    You have to be careful what you wish for mate.
    You lot wanted shot of Parsnip, the Africans wanted black power.
    You got Charver, the Africans got Idi Amin & Robert Mugabe.
    It just go's to show - the other man's grass isn't always greener. <ok>

    Let's face it, he probably cost a bottle of Bells and a Ginsters Steak Slice.

    Newcastle nearly stopped us winning the treble back in '99 remember, that was a close call... haha no I can't even keep a straight face, we wiped the floor with them it was by far the easiest final we've won in my lifetime. <laugh> Ruud Gullit <laugh>

    <laugh>Was going to say, we were 1 up at half time. Don't think the mags have ever led a domestic final since they last won it, could be wrong there but I don't think so

    Been up in the land of no internet since Sunday night. Have we discussed how good Gomez was? Great decision to start him, so calm under pressure.

    Debatable, we've been in numerous one-sided finals in that time just like he has ;)

    We couldn't have anticipated ****ing John Carver getting the job full time to be fair mate <laugh> I'd have took almost anyone over Pardew, he's one of the few I couldn't imagine getting it...more fool me I suppose <doh>

    Debatable You've never led a final in your life time let alone lead at half time. ;)


    (hope I'm not wrong there, haven't checked<laugh> But sure you've gone behind early and never recovered in every single on of your finals since your last trophy)

    You're probably right, certainly we haven't shown up in any of the finals in my lifetime and I was too young to even remember the last one <laugh> Still, I've seen Shola bag more European goals than you've seen your club bag so we've got that :p

    Not disputing that, but it's as irrelevant to the discussion as us having more League titles than you. I was disputing you comparing Newcastle to Maclaren's record at Boro on trophies and European finals. Remember? :emoticon-0136-giggl:emoticon-0172-mooni

    I never actually did that though, I decided to humour you anyway. What I said was that Boro is a comparable club to us. I then went on to suggest that what he did there, at a club comparable to us, was a good achievement.
