Superkev has raised some interesting issues here. He points out that we were terrible in the Sunderland game - which none of us could deny. Interesting to note that even though we were crap, we were good enough to get a draw away from home. What does that say about Sunderland.

His second point is that if we play next season like we have in the last few months, we could be relegation material. Is this a valid concern? It all depends on who Bobby brings in over the summer. We seem to have a team of kids and old folks. Nothing in between.

Since we are not going to win the league in the forseeable future, we must set our sights on finishing above our poorer neighbours. This should not pose a problem. With Phillips wanting to move to a big club (or even a medium sized one) and their long ball play, they seem to have been found out. We on the other hand have a number of younger players who are coming good, and assuming we can replace some of the old guard, we should have a decent team next season.

Thanks for the thread SuperKev
Thoughts?

Interesting points Nick. Like you I think we should all be grateful to superkev for his passionate and thought-provoking contribution. I share his concern that our playing squad needs stengthening to ensure our attendences don't fall next season, but I feel he somewhat underestimates the level of realism amongst the supporters as to the current weaknesses at all levels of the club. On a general note, though, I find it encouraging that even the more challenged members of our community are gaining greater computer-literacy skills.

It's strange superkev cos I'm sure we've never met and yet you seem to know me so well. It's astonishing you've found out that I have on occasions been known to bash me bishop. Maybe you should try it sometime - spanking the monkey that is. It may help relieve all those pent up tensions that force you to go around anonymously gobbing on other people's doorsteps and then running away

Not sure that Peter Reid would appreciate makems going round spanking the monkey...

Yep, great thought provoking points, it shows that we're being extremely complacent to think those from north of the river are somehow superior to the apparently intelligent folk from Wearside.

I am contrite, humbled and frankly in awe. I had indeed believed myself to be 'dead good'. I would strut in my pomp and finery, rarely condescending to speak to those who had not chosen my path, regarding myself as a man of impeccable footballing taste and lineage, above criticism, in short, 'dead good'. Now these pompous imaginings are turned to dust, my peacock strut is as a worm's lowly crawl, I am exposed. I am a wanker. This staggering, crushing yet liberating epiphany of self-knowledge is thanks to the searing, visionary insight of our correspondent. Sir, I remain forever in your debt.

Hello all, I feel obliged to appologise, on behalf of myself as his carer and the Monkwearmouth home for the mentally unstable, for 'superkev' being allowed to post on this bbs. We have recently started allowing some of our care in the community patients access to the it equipment on the ward. We though 'superkev', (you have to call him that otherwise you can't get him out of the air condidtioning system for weeks)had come to terms with his insercurities, obviously some more shock treatment is needed. Once again I apologise for any inconvenience this may have cause.

I don't believe this is Kevin Phillips at all, I think this is the work of an imposter. Nobody with such a paltry goal tally would describe themselves as super, oncewassuper may be more appropriate.

I was wondering what happened to the 'floater' I left in the loo this morning...

thanks for the early morning chuckle sooperkev, you are without doubt the sharpest knife in the drawer. For those who are interested visit the RTG site where he is no doubt telling everyone how he is winding us up. Alright soopa, your insight and verbal display is all to much for us poor geordies, I am humbled in the presence of your sublime company.

like the bad penny!!!! thanks alot for your praise !? and indeed i am not the real superkev,i thought that it may have fooled you lot as detective work is not your average mags forte.indeed anything with the word work in it would be a non-starter!have you got your nufc tops ready for your holidays in blackpool? remember my sartorially challenged neighbours- one top for the day and one for the night,that makes two. oh and try to remember the new bridge is actually called the gateshead millenium bridge and kevin the angel is actually showing you his arse.therefore do not try to claim these for your fabled and frankly ludicrous 'geordie nation' led by a scrap dealer and a dodgy bloke who resides on the iberian peninsula.

One of the many problems associated with being denied opposable thumbs is an inability to reach the shift key.

....the 'Geordie Nation' stands back in amazement, in unison - dash, it wasn't really SK after all. It was another mackem mental gymnast winding us all up.

You certainly are a wag, you little rascal!

Incredible, vying for curltural landmarks with us now! Anything else you feel you have a claim to?

-- Anonymous, May 04, 2001

I can use the caps lock key but as this is just a posting board for the dipshits assiocated with Newcastle Dis-united i don't feel it is a necessity.As for the claims on landmarks,can you not see why? I am not from Sunderland!!!!!!!!!!! South of the tyne is where i reside so i am fully aware that newcastle(no caps lock)is north of the river and that people seem to think that Gateshead is in newcastle(again little letters)but alas it is not.In my opinion anyone who crosses the river is wrong to do so (football reasons only)and reinforces newcastles claw like grip on gateshead and its territories.

Once again I am indebted to you 'Superkev' for another stirring and cerebral posting. Its a breath of fresh-air to read the views of our dearest rivals so articulately expressed. Your refusal to use cap- locks as a form of protest is a tactic I was hither-to wholly unfamiliar with. Your robust determination to defend of 'Gateshead and its territories' from the evil grip of the city of Newcastle is almost Churchillian. You are clearly a very gifted schoolboy, I hope you have a pleasant weekend.

Thanks superkev, I took the time to check my Blue Peter Atlas of the World and you're right, Gateshead is not in Newcastle, neither is Sunderland apparently. I'm so glad you pointed this out as I would hate to offend our brethren south of the river. Jeez, I've just noticed that Liverpool is not in Newcastle either, how's everyone going to get to the match tomorrow?

What an astonishing coincidence that Superkev has turned up on this board. I know this young man through a friend of mine. My friend happens to be a very religious man and he took his 10 year old son to Rome recently to see the Pope. The young boy was immensely excited at the prospect of seeing the Holy Father and had worn his Toon top especially for the occasion.

As my friend and his son waited in line for the blessing they spotted Young Superkev sporting his red and white creation in front of them in the queue. John Paul II approached the mini Mackem and, placing his hands on the boys shoulders, he whispered a benediction in his ear. My friend's youngster waited in awe for his turn but the Pope merely shook his hand and passed on down the line.

My friend told me how bereft his son was at this apparent snub. As a loyal father, however, he was he even prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice and suggested to the boy that they purchase a Reg Vardy duster and return the following day to see if His Holiness would speak this time.

So, donned like Superkev in a rather ill-fitting red and white monstrosity my friend's son waited once more in line at the Vatican. The Pope made his way down the line of the waiting faithful and my friend's son stood once more in keen anticipation. This time the Pope appeared the recognise the garb worn by him and as with Superkev on the previous day, he leant forwards and placed his hands on the young boy's shoulders. Bowing his head he whispered quietly into the young lad's ear, "I thought I told you yesterday - piss off."

I'd like to thank all of you for making Kev so welcome. Without the influx of some incisive, contrary points of view, put with wit and charm, this board will always have the potential to stagnate. We need to encourage the kids as they are our future.
