Quoted for truth. while hull and sunderland have looked like world beaters? I know we got ourselves into the position we are in but so have hull and sunderland and I just think its bullshit that both have potentially easy rides (certainly easier than we had against those 2 teams) at such an incredibly important stage of the season

well so have hull and sunderland, but we've played man u and chelsea mid season when they we're both still playing for the league and earned the 2 draws we've had against them if hull and sunderland pick up points against those 2 with weakened sides then it is genuinely not fair considering how much is at stake, we aren't talking a mid table place and a difference of 1000000 prize money or whatever Aye but we've thrown away games we should have won. As Alex said elsewhere, it's swings and roundabouts and tough shit and if it were happening to any other club than Newcastle you wouldn't blink an eyelid. as opposed to hull and sunderland who haven't? every club in the relegation mire should have won some games they didn't so my paying attention to it (or not) defines whether it is unfair or not? Aye and there's as much chance that they'll go down as there is us. Tell me this, if we win, Hull win and Sunderland lose, will you be championing the Mackems' cause? Why not argue that Liverpool didn't 'turn up' at the Riverside yet they tore us apart at SJP? well that all depends on what sort of side chelsea play, if it is obviously a weakened one then they shoud have as much chance as hull and a better one than we do against a villa still fighting for something if, however, chelsea go full strength and man u dont then it wouuld be as much an injustice for them as it would for us as for boro liverpool, pool were still chasing the league then, it mattered to them and, looking at the side they put out, they weren't fielding a load of reserves Villa have nowt to play for either tbf and may not be trying their hardest. It's just the luck of the draw in the end. true enough but at the same time, they can still get 5th and have no "more important" matches over the horizon

agreed

its been done

our saving grace for this weekend IMO as long as we can get something from villa which I truly believe we can Anelka 18 league goals scored Ronaldo 18 league goals scored

that if you are consistently an utter cunt then there may be real world consequences? no bad thing IMO

I wonder if you can pursue an appeal through other legal means? If both us and Hull lose on Sunday then there is an arguement that says we get relegated because of that decision. Can you imagine in your job if you got something wrong that ended up costing someone 50 million pounds? Howay man, we're not Sheffield United. If we get relegated on Sunday it'll be because we've been shite over 38 games - NOT because of one refereeing decision. There'll be as many decisions unfairly gone our way as there is go against us over the course of the season. Next you'll be wanting to take SAF to court for fielding his kids against Hull. It's not his fault which clubs are in the positions they're in... that said he should have to field a resonable strength team IMO it shows a big flaw in the league system when there is a game as important as this to 3 clubs and so many many people and the opposition could just field some kids, no first teamers jut to save them for another competition when us and the mackems (who are in a similar position to hull with chelsea playing in the fa cup final soon) have had to play man u at their devastating best and earn what little we got from them

Can you imagine in your job if you got something wrong that ended up costing someone 50 million pounds? easy argument "one decision does not make a season" that and government/legal bodies are always reluctant to interfere with sports that have there own governing bodies to deal with things like this so basically don't kid yourself no one is coming to our magical rescue, we must do the business on sunday

tbf with the exception of the panel and the turnover collar, it's exactly the same template as ours.... badge placement besides they are the things I don't like about our newest shirt so there you go

Not shitting it, I just take my job pretty seriously. is that why you spend hours on here making thousands of posts from your desk?

Because it's a FA and/or Premier League rule now. have they brought that in this year? it wasn't a rule last time we picked a home shirt design for sure because the mackems don't have one on their current shirt but we still went for a patch on the back personally I just think whoever is picking our designs is a twat, not unlike most of the people currently involved in making decisions at the club I'm not so sure how them who shall not be named get away with it, but I'm sure even Blackburn had to have the panel, but the thing with AC Milan is that a white number and name will stand out.

zip it btw did anyone see the "christian party" broadcast on bbc 1 earlier? followed up by and advert for a new documentary "link:discovering mans oldest ancestor" or something like that

I've kind of a hull thing going on, started great now down to a lowly 40th place

see that home one is niiiiice, why can't ours look like that?

bollocks

typical sunderland fans, they're 350 miles away at the bottom end of the country they aren't actually safe yet and they can still only think about newcastle

I know, toon board and all but sunderlands ground is still the 5th biggest in the country so I'm no all that shocked by their inclusion but milton keynes is a fucking joke, notts maybe not they have a new ground opening in 2014 thats planned at 50000 capacity

HIGNFY said some city in Europe has stretched a live performance of that album over 25 years. The next note is due to be played in 2011. not even the album just one song "as slow as possible" got to love QI next chord change is in march 2010 and (done some extra wikiing) started in 2001 due to finish in 2640 honestly who comes up with this shit?

well...I've had a fucking ace day

right, well either way depending on the playoff final if burnley lose we could do worse than trying to nick some of their players, they always struggle to hold their better players due to being such a small town and not having a lot of resources eagles, elliot, mcann, mcdonald and caldwell being the ones I rate highest

well no, since if you put a CD of cages "composition£ in your CD player it would play 4 minutes and 33 seconds of recorded silence before stopping but ptuting DMs in your cd player would simply not work also you could make DMs into a data cd put pictures or whatever on it from your pc while cages would just come up in itunes or whatever as 4:33
