I think facts 3 and 4 may be related tbh.

I think I recall the commentators on FIVE saying they counted 7 fans in the away section.

Luque seem genuinely lost tonight.

I thought Barnes was alright, the one I can't abide is that John Helm, senile old kernt, I cringe every time he insists on calling Emre by his full name.....

Keep your eye on John Bosman's contract, don't want to lose him on a free transfer type thing.....

I seriously hope we give Gravesen a miss, I can't see where he'd get a game. I'd rather see another striker or defender come in instead.

But he is left-footed, isn't he? 184608[/snapback] He is, and dispite that, I thought he was had a phenominal game.

Very disapointing not to have scored, but in my opinion there were some MASSIVE positives to take from tonights match. Duff, Milner, Parker and N'Zogbia were all superb tonight, the only Newcastle player that should hang his head in shame is Luque, a very very poor performance.

FFS, if this was a boxing match the ref would have stopped the fight !

A good range and good prices

Its ok we've just........ Oh wait.

Has it been confirmed what number he is yet ?

1. Just cooked my tea, Sweet-Chilli Mean Beanz and bread 2. Just enrolled at College this afternoon 3. I shall be putting the kids to bed as soon as possible so that I can't watch the football in peace. 4. I swore at at least 5 other drivers whilst driving through town today. 5. Whilst typing this my youngest son has emptied a cupboard on to the lounge floor.

He's signed !

I think all this piss taking about his hight is unfair.......

Fear not ! It is now official ! !

Clyde Tombaugh is gutted tbh.

Thatcher faces FA & police probes By John May The Football Association and Greater Manchester Police are to launch investigations into Ben Thatcher's challenge on Portsmouth's Pedro Mendes. Manchester City defender Thatcher was shown a yellow card after knocking Mendes out with his arm. An FA spokesman said it will investigate whether they can take further action against Thatcher. Greater Manchester Police confirmed it had received complaints which it is "duty bound" to investigate. Mendes needed oxygen at the pitchside and was later taken to hospital after Thatcher's arm propelled the Portuguese midfielder into advertising hoardings. Thatcher could escape punishment as referees are not allowed to retrospectively upgrade yellow cards. An FA spokesman said: "We are looking at whether this may possibly be an exceptional case and what options may exist under our disciplinary regulations." A Fifa spokesman confirmed to BBC sport: "It is one of the fundamental rules of the game that the referee's decision is final. "Therefore, if it is his decision that an offence warrants a yellow card, that cannot be changed later." Greater Manchester Police confirmed it had received a number of complaints about the incident and that they would be talking to both clubs, Mendes and Thatcher. A GMP statement added: "From those talks, GMP will decide whether any further action will be taken. "There is no official criminal investigaton but GMP is duty bound to investigate the complaints." Pompey boss Harry Redknapp was incensed by the challenge and urged the FA to take retrospective action against Thatcher. Redknapp said: "The FA have to do something, it is there for all to see. "I do not want to see anyone suspended but how could that possibly not be a red card? "What do you have to do to get a red, kill someone?" Mendes travelled back to Portsmouth after overnight observation and a club statement said: "He will continue to be under medical and neurological supervision during the forthcoming week."

This superfan will be watching it from the armchair.

Breaking news on SSN: Greater Manchester police to investigate incident involving Ben Thatcher & Pedro Mendes.

I agree, I think football should deal with football, the point I was trying to make was, when you compare the offence that Bowyer commited against Dyer with that of Thatcher on Mendes, it just underlines how pathetic the action was.

Thats the first time I've seen it, thats sickening, what a horrible shitebag Ben Thatcher is, I can only hope that even if he can't be given a Red after the event, he gets a disripute charge or even gets a civil action from the police. Lets face it, if Lee Bowyer can get dragged infront of a magistrate for his hand-bags with Kieron Dyer, Thatcher should too.
