    Have you ever read something about Newcastle that you thought was unbelievable news, only to have it turn out to be something or someone different and feel that horrible sense of what could have been?

    I remember years ago, turning on Teletext to see the main headline...

    I couldn't believe my luck! We needed a great striker and finally we had got one! Sunny Anderson, the powerful and explosive Brazilian striker was coming to SJP!

    I remember typing in the page (303 i believe) and waiting for it to load with anticipation, i read the top line and my heart sank...

    I looked at my screen, baffled....... Who? What? Never heard of him!

    Any one else have any memories where it was too good to be true...??

    He had the option of C.Ronaldo or Viana and he chose Hugo because FFS thought he meant fat Ronaldo

    Yeah i remember that one.

    I remember when we bid £20million for Rooney and thought we were favourites only for Manure to come in and ruin it.

    He came from Inter and I had high hopes for him...

    Don't you love the sound of shattered dreams as they smash around you?

    We had some shockers come through the doors despite the epic promises of talented kids, Gavilan, Acuna, Marcelino were all shocking.

    Aye, he would've been ****e, we'd have flogged him to some generic European club and then he would've turned amazing.

    We had a phase of ugly players, Acuna, Dabizas, Pistone.

    Clarence had a cracking barnet though...

    Hugo Viana was quality when he first came, then we ****ed his entire career up by mis-using him.

    Felt a bit sorry for the lad.

    No pace, but amazing vision and passing.



    Remember watching Tomasson in a pre-season tournament and he looked awesome. What happened there then? haha


    Also... too good to be true? All this Gameiro and Gervinho talk. Not a snowball in hell's chance of those coming off.
