Monroe Transfer

Ireland t-shirts to be worn during the warm-up.

Much rather watch NBA/NFL than a game of cricket.

Never forget.

Let's just ban everyone who doesn't live in the N-E. Ant can ban himself.

The other Greek player who didn't go down as well (Georgiadis)

Shit just got real.

Are you sure you're not talking about Joe Kinnear or someone worthy of such hyperbole?

You need to post more often. RAWK's reaction to your questionnaire comments has already gone down in folklore.

That horrible club Stoke are now only a point behind us.

Seems only right and proper that it should be Ameobi-related.

Surely she expected more than a roast dinner for Christmas?

But... but... Stevie G is back...

Or he'll be annoyed because his side could have gone above them if they'd won themselves.

Except your point was that we "roll(ed) out the red carpet and treat(ed) them like the Harlem Globetrotters". We definitely tried more against the Manchester sides. No-one's said we didn't lose comfortably against Man City and no-one's said we didn't deserve to lose that Man Utd game. Im always tongue in cheek, of cource we tried. I still have the feeling Pardew is a bit too grovelly when it comes to the top teams... gut feeling I guess, and our record vs them this fall. We tried but I didn't see the same level of effort that I've seen in most of our games. They played a much better pressing game. They just seemed to be more up for it and we were a bit of a mess to be honest. We're better than that - I wouldn't have minded losing so much if our performance had been better. There's no real shame in losing to Liverpool at Anfield especially given how NUFC tend to lose there.

Teams tend to improve significantly when a new manager comes in, especially when it's a renowned and decent one. I'm not surprised to see them getting good results - even if said results come about through winning goals scored in the last 5 minutes of matches (as has happened in 3 of O'Neill's 4 games)

Don't think you understand the difference between playing at home and playing away and we gave Man Utd and Man City much more of a game than we did against Liverpool.. Which makes it so annoying Pardew didn't play it the same way against the worst of those three sides! Ben Arfa played well against City and won the pen against manu, but doesn't feature against the scousers! I honestly - and I really hate to say this - think the Anfield crowd played a signifcant and very positive role in Liverpool winning that game. As I imagine did their frustration over Suarez and their lack of wins despite chances created. Many factors played a role in our performance but we really seemed to be intimidated. Concentration levels were poor and we gave the ball away far too much. It was loud on television.

Isn't that the third time in recent matches that they've nicked it in the last few minutes? Anyone else and I'd be laughing.

What I don't get about this whole thing is the defence of "well it's OK in Uruguay". I mean fair enough if he'd gone straight to Liverpool from Uruguay. But he didn't, Suarez spent 4 years in the Netherlands.

I'd genuinely pay Stevie to present his own podcast or something like that. Paying no more than a pints worth, mind.

Looking forward to hearing what King Kenny has to say.

Don't let one see that post, we'll never hear the end of it.
