Who are the Newcastle Jets?

[Maestro]

What the fuck are The Newcastle Jets?

[G_Man]

Aren't they an ice hockey team? :confused:

[G_Man]

Google reliably informs me that they are a football team in Australia.

[Rich]

What the fuck are The Newcastle Jets?

Are you just following me around?!?:rant:

[G_Man]

[Maestro]

Let me guess, their derby is a dance-off against The Newcastle Sharks:

Romario is coming over to play for Adelaide Utd.:rock:

Hes 40yo but he still bangs the goals in, it would just be great to see him out there playing at Hindmarsh.

[Guest]

I also heard that he's gonna be the new Rocco Siffredi in some 'underground' series of films.

I've heard that Collymore has signed. :source:

Collymore the retard wrote in his column today that he believes the premiership should be filled with the 25 biggest clubs in english history (leeds, newcastle, forest etc) and that there should be no relegation or promotion. He says the smaller clubs should not be allowed in and they would still function fine

:haha::haha::haha::haha:

I just can't get over how much of a tool this guy is

What an idiot...how do you measure the "25 biggest clubs" anyway?!!?

Newcastle certainly shouldn't be in there if it's going off past glories!

I've heard Stan Collymore is an opinionated twat and doesn't care much for LFC - but he does like Cannock Chase

On talkSPORT now.

Rio Ferdinand made a few digs at Collymore today on Twitter, so Collymore has rocked up and is now asking The Lippy One to call in.

Could be interesting...

[Craig_H]

Collymore having a right go back at Ferdinand:

"Did Rio Ferdinand love the game enough to avoid bringing himself into disrepute for drink driving? Did Rio Ferdinand love the game enough to avoid getting done for speeding? Did Rio Ferdinand love the game enough to avoid getting an extra game ban for a frivilous appeal? I wont have any player, current or past, whether he wears the armband for Man Utd or for England, telling me i dont have any love for the game"

[red g]

maybe i should ring up and see if he enjoyed those lines of coke at the brits when he was playing for liverpool.

King of all things righteous. Fuck off collymore u cunt.

[Craig_H]

He's asked Rio, 'if he has the balls' to ring up and have it out with him - great radio for Talksport. Collymore also said if Rio wants to call him personally on his mobile or meet up to discuss it 'not for a fight' but in a civilised manner, to do so.

Loads of people messaging Ferdinand's twitter and stirring the pot now :haha:

[Lee]

I think Collymore would take Ferdinand. The "we should meet, face to face, not for a fight" was brilliant. I've seen a few similar posts on here from time to time :D

[fah-q]

Collymore is soft as shite. A mate of mine grew up with him and said whilst he had a temper, he was a pussy.

Wio would merk him pwoper, Brrraaaap!

[NigelLG]

I destroyed one of his Xenophobic arguments on Twitter the other day.

I wont have any player, current or past, whether he wears the armband for Man Utd or for England, telling me i dont have any love for the game"
So basically it's an argument about who 'loves the game' more?

"I love the game more than you do."

"No you don't, I love it more than you do."

"No you don't. If you loved the game you wouldn't have treated it so badly."

"I didn't treat it badly. I bought it chocolates and flowers and everything."

"Oh yeah, well, if you loved the game as much as I do you wouldn't have left it."

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


These f*ckers need to grow up.

[Assassin]

Collymore is a cock, but if he is winding up a manc, well played!

[Chazza1978]

In light of the Gary Speed news I have just seen this on twitter

Suffering from depression again, hope he can get himself sorted

It's 4:48am in the morning(Sat 26th Nov 2011),and i'm wide awake.

I decided to tweet my own personal experience of my latest bout of Depression yesterday,and firstly wanted to thank the hundreds of messages from friends,journalists,mental health workers,doctors,and sufferers,as well as well wishers.It's very humbling to read the stories of fellow sufferers,links to blogs,and general experiences of this awful illness.

I want to elaborate on what Depression is for me,as the illness has so many facets,and varies from bout to bout ,that it can be hard to explain to a fellow sufferer,never mind someone fortunate enough to have never been afflicted!


I've spent so much time with Depression sufferers who have anxiety,irrational fear,too much sleep,not enough,that it's hard to pinpoint one "thing" that Depression is or isn't.All i know is that depending on the severity of the bout,it can be made of mainly one or all of these things,so i'll explain this latest bout,and what it's effect is.

I keep myself in really good nick,i run 10k every week day,and only not go to the gym or exercise at weekends,when i commentate on football for talkSPORT.The running i find really has helped massively,as i'm sure you guys that suffer who exercise find,the tangible release of calm,and "being on top of things" powers your internal dynamo,and keeps the black dog from the door.


Around 10 days ago however,i started to feel anxiety,which grew into irrational fear,which in turn turned into insomnia for 3 days(little sleep,and an incredibly active,negative mind),that in turn over last weekend(Swansea v Man United) into Hypersomnia,whereby my energy levels dipped to zero,and my sleep went from 8 to 18 hours overnight.


So i went from last Saturday at the gym,running 10k as i normally do,looking forward to working,to Tuesday morning being unable to lift my head from the pillow, feeling like my body had been drained of any life,my brain "full" and foggy,and a body that felt like it was carrying an anvil around.

So fit and healthy one day,mind,body and soul withering and dying the next.This to me is the most frightening of experiences,and one fellow suffers i'm sure will agree is the "thud" that sets the Depression rolling.

Once it hits,then cause and effect start to kick in.I sleep 18 hours a day,so i don't see sunlight over sometime a period of a week(my worst ever bout,i spent a month in bed),which i'm sure a doctor then would tell me makes the body shut down even further.My personal world grows smaller,i detach from friends and family,partly out of self preservation,partly not wanting them to see the man bounding around days ago,now looks visibly older,weaker and pathetic.


I eat less,my personal space gets smaller,none of the vain grooming of days before,as bathing,washing,and even going to the loo seem almost impossible.So its me,pyjamas,bed and increasingly despairing thoughts of how long this one will last,a tired,desperately tired but wildly active mind burns through its own blue touch paper until the paper ends,and there is simply nothing left.


That's the point when the practicality sets in,and not a nice one(and incredible to think when you finally get well).

Suicidal thoughts.


Thankfully i've not got to that part yet,and in my last 10 years only once or twice has this practical reality entered my head,and practicality its is,unpalatable the thought may be to many.

Why a practicality? Well,if your mind is empty,your brain ceases to function,your body is pinned to the bed,the future is a dark room,with no light,and this is your reality,it takes a massive leap of faith to know that this time next week,life could be running again,smiling,my world big and my brain back as it should be.So what do some do? They don't take the leap of faith,they address a practical problem with a practical solution to them,and that is taking their own life.And sadly,too many take that route out of this hell.


I'm typing and my brain is full,cloudy and detached but i know i need to elaborate on what i'm going through because there are so many going through this that need to know it's an illness,just an illness.Not bad,mad,crazy or weak,just ill,and that with this particular illness,for its sufferers,for family and friends who are there but feel they can't help,you can!

Patience,time,kindness and support.That's all we need.No "pull your socks up",no "get out of bed you lazy git",just acknowledge the feedback the sufferer gives,get them to go to the GP asap,and help them do the little things bit by bit.

That may seem simple but in my experience,and currently as we speak,having a bath,walking for 5 minutes in the fresh air,making a meal,all things that days before were the norm,seem alien,so friends and family can help ,just by being non judgemental,and helping in the background to get the sufferer literally back on their feet.

I hope that if you are suffering,or know someone that does,that a little insight into someone elses experiences might resonate with one or two and give them the comfort of knowing that there are millions out there like us that deal with this reality in our lives.

We contribute like everyone else,so treat us like everyone else.

You are not alone,there are millions of us.

Stan Collymore

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/ecoqm1

[BringbackBiscan]

It's easy for any of us on the outside to say Collymore has been a twat and what's he got to be unhappy about but depression is a horrible illness that can affect anyone.

[Galb]

It's easy for any of us on the outside to say Collymore has been a twat and what's he got to be unhappy about but depression is a horrible illness that can affect anyone.

The only twats in the case of Collymore's depression were those (including his manager John Gregory IIRC) who were saying "how can he be depressed when he's on £xxxk a week". The idea that someone cant have mentall illness issues (or other issues) because they earn a lot of money is ridiculous but all too prevalent in the way we talk about football.

[Suarez]

Collymore is soft as shite. A mate of mine grew up with him and said whilst he had a temper, he was a pussy.

Wio would merk him pwoper, Brrraaaap!

How old was your mate when he made this opinion?

I know after the Ulrika incident he was in a nightclub where a few of the England Rugby team were, and a couple of them were mouthing off at him, he lost his rag and asked them out for a fight and they bottled it. He's a big lump.


Anyway, I quite like listening to Collymore, and I like Redknapp too. Both players get loads of grief on here, but then again I don't believe that anyone who says anything remotely negative about LFC is a cunt. I think it comes hand in hand with my dislike for what football has turned into. We're all waving the flags for corporate profits now and this in turn has given me a more evenly balanced opinion on the club and ex players. I no longer feel hugely passionate about the game, I still like watching Liverpool and Dalglish has introduced a little romanticism back into football for me, but when you strip it all back, football is now just a product, owned by foreign businessmen with no interest in football and its traditions. Its all about the dollar, we may as well wear Apple shirts (like Forestbloke).

[BringbackBiscan]

Redknapp is the face of the sky generation fan. Zonal marking blah blah blah. He's a cunt.

[Suarez]

Very insightful. :handshake:

[BringbackBiscan]

It's more insightful then Redknapp repeating whatever is Sky's topic of the week/year. Zonal marking, nasty foreigner, Gerrard is a cm nonsense. Hard to believe he has an original thought in his head, and if he does, it's not what he comes out with sky.

There are very people who have a single original thought in their head about football. Football commentary and opinion is full of cliches.

I like Collymore too on TS - he's passionate and tells it like he sees it. Also unlike most presenters Collymore will back up his opinion (no matter how daft it might sound) with his reasons for it.

Such a shame that these demons have control over him. He could've been one of the best footballers in the world.

[Shaggy]

I like Collymore too and read this yesterday. Wish him well.

Sorry to hear that Collymore is having a hard time. So is the young producer at TSprt who he threatened to throw of a balcony in SA.

mikeparry8 Mike Parry
Hi Kids. Can tell you that Stan Colleymore won't respond to me - because he's a cowardly bully. With him in SA - e's a first class nothing

mikeparry8 Mike Parry
I'm really sorry if Stan Collymore is suffering from depression. That does not give him the right to smash a colleague's bedroom door down.

mikeparry8 Mike Parry
I don't understand all your reaction to what I've said. Sorry that Stan Colly is suffering depression.I know personally Collymore is a bully

This is gonna end in tears.

I thought he was in somewhere like a Burger King and it was a South African International that was currently playing club rugby in England. I think it was a racist sledge as well.

Depression or not the guy is a cunt. Sorry for anyone that suffers from this kind of thing but Collymore isn't someone I have any respect for.

Is Parry on TS still? Or was it him who got sacked last year for calling Rafa a nonce?

[Reece]

No that was Danny Kelly, didn't get sacked though. Parry left about a year ago over a contract dispute.

[Lee]

Ah okay I see.

They all sound the same to me. I remember Parry, I remember Kelly's name but I can't remember what show he presents.

[Chazza1978]

If you like Collymore or not that is pretty low from Mike Parry

Absolutely no need for that, even if he feels that way why choose now to say it?

Trying to drum up some attention for himself, he is involved with that cunt McKenzie in his new media project

[Frenchie]

Parry is a twat who likes the sound of his stupid voice..

[PC Plod]

There are very people who have a single original thought in their head about football. Football commentary and opinion is full of cliches.

He mindlessly parrots the latest tabloid opinion. Redknapp doesnt even agree with himself half the time FFS.

Also he gets stuff majorly wrong repeatedly- like the time when announced with great certainty how great Alonso had been the season before at Scum & how he made all the difference, when Xabi didnt play.

I have never heard of Mike Parry.

Might set up a twitter account just to tweet to him. 'Who are you? I have never heard of you.'

[Vermilion]

What a prick he is, Danny 'fat face' Kelly! TWAT!

Then again, Collymore gets on my tits too, shouting out his opinion all the fcukin time, ramming it down peoples throats, and if you disagree...he just shouts louder!

Mike Parry is just an old fool. :shake:

[Lee]

Currently on TalkSport's My Sporting Life.

Nothing groundbreaking so far but he's only been on for 30 minutes.

He's talking Forest at the moment and I'm guessing LFC will be on in about ten minutes time; might be of interest to some of you.

[foresterbloke]

Its all about the dollar, we may as well wear Apple shirts (like Forestbloke).

Thanks for showing us all what a cock you are. I write about Apple products because I enjoy using them and I like to rebuff most people's baseless negative comments.

Moaning about the Conservative Party I understand as there's fuck all you can do about them right now but you don't have to have anything to do with Apple. It's a purchasing decision that is made by you alone.

Football is equally as frustrating as politics as you can decide to not purchase anything to do with football but it won't stop it turning into a fucking circus run by wankers and played by people that earn as much as the 1% (yet we don't turn on them?!).

So please kindly go fuck yourself and don't hold me up as a corporate shill.

Did he have anything interesting to say about us?

[BigMarv]

Good programme. I think Stan is refreshingly honest. About 15 minutes talking about his time at the Reds. Had an axe to grind against Digger, said he had more influence on the team selection than Roy Evans. Basically, spice boys liked a night out. Jamo was responsible for those cup final suits and his career highlight was that goal against the barcodes.

[Lee]

Did he have anything interesting to say about us?

I think our friend below has just answered that mate. :D

Sums it up. It was broken down into sections in chronological order and LFC probably got the biggest section (about 10-15 minutes in total). I'm not sure he had an axe to grind on Barnes as such, but he did say that he had a big influence on the dressing room along with James; I read it more as a slant towards Evans for not being a strong enough manager as he mentioned something like wanting to work under O'Neill but Frank Clarke was good to him too.

He mentioned the signing and how it happened. United approached him first but then signed Andy Cole, he had talks with Everton but then decided to join us whilst Evans was in Barbados or something. Collymore said how he refused to move from Cannock to Liverpool as it was only a 1hr 15m drive and he wanted to stay close to home and his mother. Explained about how he refused to play in the reserves for us as he was scoring for the first team and was fit. Doug Livermoore reported it to Evans and that was Collymore pretty much done at LFC.

He also spent 15 minutes or so at the end talking about the Ulrika incident.

Seemed to be a bloke full of regrets. I know a lot of people don't like him but I've no real issue with him. Quality player.

Cheers Lee,

Think he is an engaging bloke, obviously a bit of a 'mare to work with both as a footballer and latterly, if you give any credence to what Mike Parry said recently. But obviously, has his demons, but does seem to care about football and given the often bland Lineker/Shearer BBC love-in, that used to have to suffice for football comment, hearing someone who will occasionally make a ricket, given his forthright views is a welcome change.

Plus, and I might be in the minority, I always liked him when he played for us with those ridiculous collars!

Oh yeah, and like somebody said earlier in the thread if he doesn't agree with you then he'll quite often just shout louder. :haha:

However even if you don't agree with him and he's talking bollocks he does at least back up his opinion in a passionate way, rather than wind people up such as the likes of Durham, Merson and other pundits. I'm split on his thoughts - sometimes I completely disagree with him and other times he has it completely spot on.

That kit wasn't too bad with the collar. The away one was nicer though with the three buttons. :D

[dom9]

That kit was hideous.

[Lee]

Would've looked better had you ran an iron over it.
