Absolutely not.

If either of them were playing us there'd be lads in bandages and on crutches in the starting XI, and not a word about this rotation shit.
-
Not to worry, they won't.

Caicedo has diplomatic immunity it seems. Desperate game but the result is a resounding one. I think we're pretty much high and dry now. Chelsea can fuck all the way off btw, a team assembled with $2 billion can't possibly be as bad and thuggish as they are. -
Let me preface by saying I don't give a fuck who else gets CL as long as we do, but it would be glorious if Forest beat Chelsea, causing them to miss out on the Europe money and beginning a Leeds-style tailspin, fire sale, relegation, and utter oblivion in the Championship. I realize the vested powers in the PL will never allow that to happen, but it's a nice dream. Of all the "moneyed 6" they are the most contemptible.

If these worked half as hard on their football as they did on their diving they'd be top half. Delap has just performed another top Olympic tumble.

Let's not forget getting dug out by corrupt refs giving ludicrous decisions, don't think the 1999 side needed that either.

The real United v Manchester reds - Thy choicest gifts in store
acrossthepond replied to Dr Gloom's topic in Newcastle Forum
I see the so-amazing Dorgu, the new signing who was supposed to shore up the defense and take Man U to their rightful place in the top half, has already been dropped. I’m not sure if I’ve ever in my life seen such a dogshit XI turn up at SJP wearing red. I don’t care if I’m jinxing things, but these are fucking wretched and if we can’t beat them it’ll only be our own fault. -
Cost us a go at another cup. Either way I wouldn't sweep it under the rug just because we won in his absence, just as it wouldn't be "his fault" if we had lost. It was an unnecessary moment of utter stupidity that let the team down.

I'd also leave Gordon out as what he did was fucking stupid and costly and he needs to know there are repercussions for that, but Howe will slot him back in. Barnes is not going to make it here, he should probably decide whether he's OK being a rotation option for a team in Europe. I'd be happy to keep him but I'm not sure how much longer he'll be happy playing second fiddle to Gordon who is clearly Eddie's undisputed choice on the left.

You still can't use a semicolon, though. I don't know how someone who pretends to literary ambitions has such a poor grasp of ordinary grammar. Semicolons join independent clauses; your second clause has no verb so it is not an independent clause. (That was a correct usage, if you'd like to take notes.) You're plenty good at wishing death on people from the internet though, I guess that's a feather in your cap.

Newcastle v Liverpool - send him victorious

This is how you know we've won a trophy. Even Luke Edwards is getting praise today. Any moment now someone's going to come along and announce that Louise Taylor's a fine writer and Ian Woan was all right after all.- 1081 replies

I thought it would never come. We may never win another trophy as long as we live - not that any of us really think that, not anymore - but this one paid for many, many years of heartache. Howay the lads now and forever! (I’m especially glad that the greatest African ever to live and heir to Mandela did absolutely fuck all.)
