They're welcome to a run of form. Every other aspect of the club is regressive from transfer policy to their manager

Newcastle United - Manchester United 3-0

Obertan was good first half at OT. Dont know why he was taken off -
Who gives a bollock about Sunderland? They'll amount to fuck all because they're only bothered about us.

A month of poor form and injuries is not unique to NUFC. If that cover comes in, we'll sew 7th up IMO. If not, 8th-10th is a good finish. Not sure you can say "is this all we're aiming for?"after a season and a half back, in which we've made nothing but progress.

January Transfer window 2012- Deadline Day Madness

I think Football Manager has just got to Norway. As has football Whats this about that Finnish kid? -
I didn't realise Des Hamilton was here until 2002 (I believe)

Best thing about Barton getting sent off was everyone retweeting his high and mighty tweets about violence and not being a "helmet" in 2012

12 hours of hitting drums, clarting speakers and amps from pub to pub, another 6 hours of it today. Happy new year, i'm fucked
-
That honestly couldn't have been more perfect

Like when we went to Old Trafford and Etihad and played for the wins you mean? Sorry your memory only lasts 2 games.
-
Obviously there's a larger number of factors on display other than just basic league finishes but I'm interested to see what people consider a successful progression this year.

Obertan: Earths' gravity is no match for him.

Seems a right bottler -
Steven Taylor (or indeed a centre half of his ilk) has been a massive miss.
-
Blowjobs. Anything else is a bonus.

If this kid makes a bad post, it must be greeted with "nimbo cumulus" and the closure of the board.

Neutral end has plenty left i think. Me and some pals are going down for it
-
Atm, as Ben Arfa is adjusting to not only the league but recovering from injuries, he'll only be effective in games we have stretched sides or are exploitin space. Liverpool were too well drilled with regards to pressure for him to have an impact today.

Jonas looks absolutely knackered IMO. Works harder than anyone else so its no surprise.
-
Thought that was tactically shocking. Vuckic was stuck between stations in his role and not intelligent or experienced enough to influence a tight first half. Their wing play was far better than ours and exploited our full back's deficincies. Ba was a lonely figure, showed why he often needs Best when we're in that set-up. Any sort of assistance pressuring would have actually improved our performance. Cabaye was lucky not to walk despite Spearing's reckless lunge. Tiote was playing our centre halves into trouble with his short lay offs. Looks like he's playing for a move

It's an old in-joke btw, CT

Aeris, I'll shag some sense into you if you like.

The folly of LBT and Aeris' arguments are that they're based in what they want to happen and their assumption that it will work in football compared to what has been working for NUFC and a club in its position. There's been times where playing it along the deck has worked for us and times where playing more direct has worked. Both approaches have their place in different matches and so far, we've seen glimpses of both and the league position doesn't lie on their relative effectiveness. It takes longer than one transfer window to build a side that can consistently win football matches with glamourous football. There have been massive signs of on-pitch progress for me in terms of organisation, belief, work-rate and effectiveness in front of goal and as a team unit to pick up tricky points. That's ultimately more satisfying than seeing us play a few nice moves but ultimately losing. That would be supporting Wigan.

Waiting to get beat 11 that went unbeaten until November

Just finished Mother Night and The Petrified Ants in my attempt to read everything by Vonnegut. Latter is a short story and not up to his normal standard IMO but Mother Night is excellent. Only got Galapagos to get through now, I think.
