It's far worse than that Nigglyb The cost cutting is so drastic that Scunny scouts have been seen at the same non league matches as Gary Monk

Now now, that hurts

Just a bit of banter Nigglyb, good luck for next season, hope you finish second behind the Toon [-o<
About time we had some Newcastle/Leeds/Sheffield Prem matches again

No worries Statts. You can't type a tone of voice & I was saying it with tongue firmly in cheek Being a Leeds fan for 45 years+ means I would even expect Gary Monk to be spotted at Guiseley Girl Guides Reserves home matches on a Sunday morning :-"

Go easy mate, too many comments like that and the Yorkshire Plods will have im banged up with Rolf Harris/Gary Glitter and Cliff

[panmotor]

How dare you leave Leeds legend Jimmy Savile off that list! We folk in W Yorks are proud of the heritage created by the likes of JS, Yorkshire Ripper, Black Panther etc etc

I put the Pan Motor 50 baht on Newcastle to go up yesterday - in my very humble opinion, as big a cert as for Hull to get relegated from the Prem

[BobHelm]

Just a reminder that it all kicks off on Friday - well, OK early Saturday morning..
Interesting clash, to say the least, starts the new season!!!

Friday 5th August 2016 Sky Bet Championship

After all the late Sat/late Sun/Mon night matches Newcastle played last season you would think that someone up there would have let us play at 3pm on a Saturday

They Only give you late kick offs so that you're travelling fans can get to the games on time....as at 3pm MOST of them are still comatosed after a night on The Newcastle " Broon " Me Lad !!

Comatosed at 3pm

Most of them will have been back in the pub for 3 or 4 hrs by then

[stattointhailand]

Not sure who sorted this table order for Live Footballs website, but if it ends like this there will be a few parties in the streets of Brum
Really do not want to be in the play offs with that lot either

Some sad news today on the Udon Thani General Forum regarding socksy (Ian Davidson) who has passed away.
He was a regular on the World Sports forum,particularily on the football,where he was a keen follower of Glasgow Rangers and Newcastle United.
His sense of humour and contributions will be greatly missed.
RIP.

[BobHelm]

Could not agree more Zid.
Very sad & socksy will be greatly missed.
RIP & I hope he can view Rangers challenging for the SPL title this year from 'up there'...

Championship title favourites Newcastle United were beaten 1-0 by Fulham in the opening match of the 2016-17 season.
Matt Smith headed in Tom Cairney's corner just before half-time to condemn the Magpies, relegated from the Premier League last season, to defeat.
The visitors had strong claims for a penalty before Smith's goal but Ryan Tunnicliffe's handball went unpunished.
Fulham goalkeeper David Button saved twice from Matt Ritchie, one of five Newcastle debutants at Craven Cottage.

Today is the start of the English Football Leagues,Scottish Leagues,Conference Leagues and the Emirates FA Cup "extra qualifying round"
Here are a selection of games,including our featured teams......

Alan of course i will sell you some of what i have been taking ...no problem just meet me at the Tap and bring yer wallet , preferably with money in it .

BTW ..it is not impossible that Emerton v Scunny could be a fixture the season after this one ... i fancy the Toffees to struggle and the IRON to do very nicely .

Whilst on this thread i would like to wish ALL 3 of "Udons" lesser spotted Leeds fans good luck for the coming season yer gonna need it ......marching on together Ho Ho Ho ...hopefully this season they with get more points than managers

A Scunny fan, a Newcastle fan & Leeds fan travelling by plane....

The Newcastle fan puts his hand out of the window & says:"we're flying over the Toon, I can touch the Milburn Stand!"
The Leeds fan puts his hand out of the window & says "we're over Elland Road, I can touch Billy's statue!"
The Scunny fan puts his hand out of the window & says: "We're flying over Scunthorpe, hey, where's my watch gone!"

Shouldn't that have been "Where's me genuine Pattaya Rolex gone"

Must be a long time since youve been to Scunny ... lots of investment on infrastructure has brought the whole area into the 19th century with the towns main promenade likened to that of St Tropez , palm trees , Yot filled marina , beach front cafes , the finest local Indian cuisine and slag heap skiing with a fat ginger minger make for never a dull moment , lifes so laid back there no buggar wears a watch , in fact lonely planet said .....one of the worlds must visit destinations .

As for Leeds .... last time i went it wor closed due to lack of interest , even the seagulls had goggles on to stop the soot goin in their eyes and Helland rd was hosting a car boot sale ...biggest crowd its seen for years ..

UP THE IRON
