England will need a team 50% better than any other if they're gonna win anything with the press the way it is in this country.

Big rumours on wearyside at the moment, and I was told by someone who works at the club. A part of the Quinn takeover apparantly.

Well.... not really! There is a feel-good factor at St James' Park these days - something which was typified when Shearer hobbled into the Players' Lounge on crutches before the game with West Brom. For Shepherd quipped: "Hey this is the Players' Lounge, not the ex-Players' Lounge" - and Shearer nearly fell off his crutches laughing. From the Ronny Gill.

NUFC 2-1 Chelsea. That cracking goal by Shearer... and... Half time hero - Glenn Roeder.

I agree with the 5-4, fantastic game of football, but my memory of the Cup final was that they did fuck all for 85 odd minutes, should have been beaten soundly, should have had a blatant penalty against them, and them Owen nipped in for 2 quick goals, without any decent football being played. I'm having trouble remembering the 2-2, which makes me look like a closet red. 127324[/snapback] They went 1-0 up, Haman I think, then Bobby brought on Robert & Bellamy for their first appearences of the season, we went 2-0 down (Owen penalty) and then a Robert-Bellamy inspired fightback saw us level with goals from Speed and Shearer. 127328[/snapback] And another 2-2 draw we had with them at home in SBR first season, when Owen scored 2 I think. Maybe I think positive because our defence was so shite and made the games high scoring?

Ah yes... my mistake!

Some would argue that has fuck all to do with Houllier. I'm gob-smacked you didn't see a boring Liverpool team, I watch a lot of them and to be honest his tactics completely bypassed a decent midfield most of the time. 127316[/snapback] Aye they were a bit long ball-ish at times but always think of that 5-4 UEFA Cup win and the Michael Owen cup final win.... And a 2-2 draw we had with them that was an all round cracking game of football.

Last away day results- 2004/05 lost 0-2 at Everton 2003/04 drew 1-1 at Liverpool 2002/03 drew 2-2 at West Brom 2001/02 lost 1-3 at Southampton 2000/01 lost 0-3 at Liverpool 1999/00 drew 0-0 at Derby 1998/98 lost 0-2 at Leicester 1997/98 lost 0-1 at Blackburn 1996/97 drew 0-0 at Man U 1995/96 drew 1-1 at Forest 1994/95 lost 0-1 at Blackburn 1993/94 lost 0-2 Sheffield United

Aye, clearly not good enough for us....... Shite! Would love him here! 127305[/snapback] Houllier's Liverpool were the most boring team I'd ever seen, until Souness. Is it too much to ask for exciting football and a cup? 127308[/snapback] Well whenever I seen them play when Houllier was in charge I thought they were decent enough... Look at Lyon now, hardly a boring team.

Aye, clearly not good enough for us....... Shite! Would love him here!

Not the Corner mate! Allways singing 126519[/snapback] THE CORNER! *CLAP CLAP CLAP*

Was aimed at Gallas after he tackled Crouch tbh. 126170[/snapback] Wondered that actually, but it looked like it was aimed at Crouch to me. Still, good to see the thieves have great reasons to be wasting their drinks. 126171[/snapback] Was Gallas though as Crouch was still near the corner flag at the time... Imagine if it had hit Gallas, as it was a glass bottle! Not the worst player to have hit like.....

And he couldn't be number 9 this season as the season was already under way when he joined and numbers cannot be changed.

Studs showing, high boot, you can tell Poll is going to referee in the World Cup!

Nowt wrong with that goal imo. The two Arsenal players collided wand one of them got up and the other didn't look injured.... I was always told to play to the whistle and Spurs did.

Anyone got it?

fcukin disgrace that like 125731[/snapback] You can actually type "fucking" you know!

SMO was bound to be one of those "real life adults".

This is what happens when people without 4 straight A Levels get jobs! Pah!

Wouldn't mind seeing him here actually.... £4m tops?

When is the SO / Wacky announcement ? 124551[/snapback] Wacky's got engaged, there's no intention of a wedding. Were going to a wedding disco without a bride or groom by the look of it. TBH he's far from being marriage material. If he did pluck up the courage to walk down the isle the vicar would probably scoop him up and douse his forehead in holy water thinking he'd come for a christening! 124570[/snapback] Classic Arctic Monkey's line thrown in there! If only you had seen them live eh...... 124723[/snapback] He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know! 124968[/snapback] Oh I've seen you with girls of the night, you told Roxanne to put on her red light, you're all infected but you'll be alright, cause you're a scumbag don't ya know!

Was there last night and was the best gig I've been to! Fuckin' amazing! Atmosphere was spot on and the Academy was rockin'! Touts were offering tickets for around £120 I heard...

What's the bet?!
