What a load of crap. I've been to pretty much every country in Europe with my work in recent years. Uk has everything going for it ... except the weather.

Madeleine McCann. Pass it on. Bad taste alert

hughton has created a rod for his own back by making nolan skipper. will he have the balls to drop him? he dropped smith after all. a far more mobiel unit would be routeledge, ben arfa and jonas all buzzing around carrol with tiote and barton deeper and smith and nolan benched.

41,915? that's a lot less than we were getting in most championship games last season. is this all to do with ashley's spaz decisions not to sell tickets to level 7 on the day? i noticed a lot of empty seats up there yesterday. i was hoping to get tickets on the door next home game i come up for. is it pretty much impossibke now?

I can't take a guy his age wearing a baseball cap seriously

carrol looks far too isolated with nolan playing off him. he needs a player with pace buzzing around him

we did hughton sub our two best players? why did nolan stay on the pitch when we were chasing it? why did we lost at home to stoke? why god? why?

Effectively a pint of mix? They do it in my Dad's local but they litterally fill half the glass with bitter and top it up with mild. Budvar is bloody lovely mind aye, half dark, half regular budvar. love both, and equally as nice to drink mixed.

don't know if they do it in bottles but my local does half and half budvar. lovely stuff

i love fridays. my boss fucks off at midday to his weekend retreat in kent and the rest of us fuck off for a liquid lunch, following the gaffer's example. stevie, you should embrace your time in the smoke, though i can see why you're not a fan if you have to ride the northern line when you're down here. the tube line from hell tbh. take the overground into work every day and quality of life down here suddenly isn't that bad.

this greenore irish is the dogs nuts. mellow as out. makes watching the x factor with the wife just about bearable.

who the fuck is this twat?

I think Krul is better than Harper. Certainly a better shot stopper. it's hard to agree with that when we've only seen him play a handful of games. he was poor for van anholt's goal on wednesday. should have saved it tbh. harper is a solid keeper. krul has a lot of promise but it's early days for him. still very much the junior keeper for now.

david lacey on the guardian was good but he doesn't write much beyond his saturday column now. but yeah, sports columnists are mostly dire these days. different sport but i enjoy mike atherton's column in the times.

this. if his performances were wide eyed and in awe of the opposition it'd be more of a concern. he probably will pipe down if we consolidate our premier league status for a couple of seasons and he gets used to his new surroundings.

shola should start on the bench. the same team that beat everton away should start again on sunday. the key to beating everton was winning the midfield battle. the same will probably apply to stoke.

henry winter's report was nice http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...tch-report.html

"Geordie boys...taking the piss, Geordie boys...taking the piss" and "That's why we're champions" ...both sang at stamford bridge last night

remember to head to underground in san rafael if you fancy a smaller scale night for the slightly older crowd. hot women, good tunes and not as busy as the big super clubs

aye, the left back looked good. who was he? ferguson? never heard of him before last night's match

that was once in a generation stuff like. i feel blessed with good fortune to have been there - i only get to 5-6 games a season. highlight was definitely chelsea to toon after coming back to 3-3 "that's why we're champions, that's why we're champions ...." five minutes later, us back to chelsea after ameobi's last minute winner "that's why we're champions, that's why we're champions" ... quality stuff. i enjoyed the "geordie boys....taking the piss" and "ole" chants at 3-1 up.

did you get the train home after the match or stay in london? that's a long old night if you went home straight after the match. respect to those boys. So it was Salvia last night you were on. I'm just day dreaming about WEMBLEY you old piss heed.

did you get the train home after the match or stay in london? that's a long old night if you went home straight after the match. respect to those boys who manage it on a school night. there seemed to be loads more london-based or southern mags in the away end than usual. i suppose heading down to the capital midweek for a game we were expected to lose isn't that appealing if you're based in newcastle. all the more respect for those that did do the round trip in a day!
