We will in all likelihood get pounded in this match. If we score I'll be surprised.

Best part is O'Shea running over to congratulate him before realising the only players with hands up are Zenit players.

Danny B, welcome (?) back. Back to your regular tired old shite again already I see. Very happy your sad lot got beat. It doesn't matter to me who did the beating as long as you lost, although the added indignity of being pissed on by a team consisting of dodgy Premier League rejects, Irish rejects, and your own rejects pleases me. As for the Mackems, just because they're your most hated rivals doesn't mean you wish them disaster at every turn. It's different for you since your hated rivals are so much bigger than you that you're virtually trapped under the weight of their accomplishments, and so all you can do is suffer in their shadow and idly wish for them to fail. But for us the Mackems are entertaining and so we want them to stick around for a while and have a few comic mishaps, like signing Anton Ferdinand, before eventually sinking back down to the Championship only to come up again with renewed vengeance and drive to beat us in their pathetic little hearts. Also if they aren't in the division we can't hammer them. Anything else you need explained?

Great performance and good music although tbh 2J the green pixel business that flashes after every play is very distracting.

Canny ball in from Geremi and top finish from Owen, that's the kind of predation we have missed from someone like him. Long may it continue

Labored a bit from the sound of it but I'm happy with the 3 points against a no doubt negative Bolton side.

Mackems...Cisse :( Spurs

Was just about to say I was glad I'd missed this game, sounded like another Bolton borefest, but now I'm sad to miss Owen's return. Am I the only one getting that strange, giddy feeling of optimism again?

Shocking defending by the Mackems allows Tottenham to equalise. Also Gordon has looked incredibly dodgy this game. I wouldn't be surprised to see Spurs win this game now, they have all the momentum.

Given back to his usual I see. Come on lad! Bale misses from less than 2 yards. Is this Tottenham Hotspur or Leyton Orient I'm watching?

Mackems have scored :( Spurs

Only game I can see is Spurs v. Mackems. Modric getting absolutely manhandled in that game. Spurs look toothless. Mackems might well nick it.

If there's a stream, I'd be much obliged. Thanks in advance.

I can see us beating them 3-1 again. If we look anything like the side that played Man U last week we'll run rampant over them. Let's hope we go out with the same commitment.

I had hoped this was us also. Notice the transfer front has gone mysteriously quiet for us.

Thats what I was thinking, hows the seats filling up on the online box office I cant get on. Still a fair few available. If you were to put a percentage of NO and TT going to the game, I'd say 25/55 get buying the tickets you mongs, skint isnt good enough. Massive club. Prem's best fans, etc.... Why so miserable? Lost to Boro at the weekend. New signings doing fuck all. As an aside, the beer at the ground is shite so I'll give this a miss I reckon. No, we drew with Man U at the weekend and our new signings were class. What are you on about?

I guess next you'll be wanting birth certificates at the gate to make sure no dirty "foreigners" get in. There's no real and fake supporters. There's supporters and gloryhunters and there's no Toon fans I know in the second category. I don't care if you're from Timbuktu, if there's a concrete reason why you support Newcastle (family/friend influence, first game you saw, heard about them as a kid, something) then you're a real supporter.

Here's some transfer gossip from your favorite site, ESPNsoccernet. I haven't seen any of it on this site yet so I figured I'd post. bolded #1: Another lazy journo having a go. What a surprise. bolded #2/3: Anyone seen us linked to these players before?

Very rarely seeing as I'm in Ireland, still buy merchandising and last time i checked going to matches or not doesn't mean i can't have an opinion piss poor argument that "you don't goto matches every week so why do you care" im just saying the season ticket holders and the people that go to the away gamesnare the people that pay the most money and imo if you dont go to matches very often you shouldnt be too bothered about the money side of things What utter bollocks. Forgetting the fact that being a supporter means you actually care about the club, how it is run and the consequences of stupid spending. As of the end of the 2006/07 season the break down of income to the club is; gate takings £30.9m, TV £26.5m & commercial £25.7m, so how is the "if you dont go to matches very often you shouldnt be too bothered about the money side of things" argument justified? http://www.nufc-finances.org.uk/ as your post shows the majority of money comes from gate takings. the reason i believe people like ant shouldnt be as bothered is because the club isnt wasting his money. people like me that spend £1000+ newcastle every season are the people that should be complaining about the money side of things, e.g. them raising the prices of season tickets after a rubbish season and then spending next to no money on transfers and people like ant that spends his £30 for the new strip every season shouldnt complain too much. I may be wrong but by looking at your sissy fit id say your like ant and dont go to matches very often Is your argument actually that non-local fans shouldn't care about the financial aspect of the club because they don't pay for tickets, so they shouldn't be invested in what happens? I guess if NUFC folded tomorrow due to financial mismanagement all the other exiled fans and I should just shrug and think que sera sera? Part of football is money management these days (and for many years.) You need only look at Leeds, Sheff Wed, etc. to see how easily a club can lose its way especially when poor financial planning is involved. Finances are at the core of the club and to say non-locals "shouldn't be too bothered about the money side of things" is just a roundabout way of degrading fans who can't go to games. What a tosser. And this isn't the first time.

Great result, never expected it but we proved the doubters wrong today. Sour note for me was Duff looking truly lost. Butt was also risky, put in some great tackles but also gave the ball (nearly the game also) away.

Still think we should be in here, he's a mercenary if there ever was one and he wouldn't score all that high on the magness ratings ( ) but quality player. We shouldn't just spend silly money but I think we should make an approach and see what kind of price Zenit will negotiate down to now that another suitor has apparently been priced out. Just my thoughts.

Great performance, Martins scoring was true class and Jonas has been like lightning all across the pitch. Naturally they scored while Taylor was off - can't shake the feeling another body in the box would've prevented that goal but we take what we can get. Let's hope for more of the same next half, Colo has looked shaky and the Zog is nowhere to be seen at all but Beye is immense as always and Guthrie has looked lively too.

FM legend. Feel for Tevez but not sorry he's not playing of course.
