McFaul

To be fair he did fuck all apart from his cross at Stoke, apart from chase balls and press, and I think the point that he didn't start at Blackburn was irrelevant considering we lost the game when he was on. He works hard though and will be a decent squad member, but this exposes how thin the squad is. Two injuries and we're thinking awe ffs Lovenkrands might have to come on and also if Marveaux or Jonas gets injured what do we do then? Call Lua Lua back? If Ashley fell in the Tyne now he'd bob up floating on a stolen Picasso with a salmon in his mouth. Lucky fat bastard. We are short and it's squarely down to him and Llambias.

Reminds me of Rocky 4, and the flag with Drago on....

I didn't read the original post and it's context, LM seemed to think it was a genuine view so I responded to it accordingly.

who cares about sunderland ? You sound like a mackem who is obsessed with Newcastle ? Surely we have bigger ambitions than emulating sunderland ? [We certainly did not so long ago, remember the ridicule hurled at "Free Ticket Mackems" etc because they couldn't fill their ground with ticket sales at the full price, for instance] They all care when they're from these 50/50 areas mate. Personally as long as we hump them every time we play them I couldn't give a monkeys chuff. As for them having a much better team, what a fuckin idiot. I'd love to know who the lad, and clearly that's what he is, a lad, thinks would get in wor first eleven from theirs.

Big chance for Marveaux now, and I'm not even sure it's an absolutely major negative, I think Marveaux has what Doctor Science has but a lot more too.

We did 5 or 6 in a row under Roeder when he took over from Souness, don't know about since then. I'm turning in to HF, even the stubble is turning ginger.

I knew that it would be summik like that. That's a goal every 68mins [/HF] fuck me. That is a mental record in modern football. He's not Andy Cole, he's not Shearer or Ferdinand, but he's got a bit of absolutely everything you need to be a top striker. He's strong, he's quite mobile, his movement is very good, he's got a trick, he's tall and decent in the air, he can strike a ball, and to me he seems a very humble bloke who is happy playing for us. He could just be one of our best ever buys this bloke, certainly considering what we've paid for him pennies allegedly.

“You know what you are, You know what you are, Anton Ferdinand, you know what you are” fucking disgusting really. We'd be vilified for that as a northern city that is less than 5% black.

A fairer comparison would be positions these clubs finished in last season. I'm not getting carried away me, we simply have to fuck up somewhere along the line, but I'm enjoying watching these arsehole Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool fans saying what the fuck are these doing up there. I won't mention Tottenham because as a smaller club they're not quite accepted in to the party yet, but we're definitely not. If we get to game 19 and we're still 3rd I think I'll be even more excited than I was in 1996. I just expected us to piss the league then, and we should have but this time, it's like expecting Santa to bring you an apple and orange, and he's got allsorts in there, pinball machine for J69, £2000 PaddyPower gift voucher for me, blow up doll and some poppers for DEADMAN etc....7 4 0 SEVEN FOUR ZERO if we beat Everton, and look even if we lose 5-0 at both Mancs, we can do Chelsea at home, pale shadow of themselves, then Norwich and Swansea 6 points there for us, that would be 10 4 2, surely we'd still be third with the dippers at home on the horizon at christmas.

I'm nee Happy Face, but thinking about it, if you think about the time he's been on the pitch Ba, he's probably at a goal every 70 minutes or something. He's been subbed a few times, and been sub himself of those 9 games. Arsenal for starters.

Thanks for your sentiment mate, but we're not Norwich. It was perfectly normal for us to be in the Champions League wasn't like something we thought would never happen again felt like that was it forever, Man City and Tottenham have been in ONCE. We've been accustomed to being up there in the last 15 years, our recent history has been disasterous, but this group of "elite clubs" as you put it, are only elite because of the money being pumped in to them. Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool have a bigger fanbase in this country than Newcastle but none of Chelsea, Tottenham or Man City do and that's a fact. They're not elite clubs, they're rich clubs who are away from us till we get someone who will put us in their money league. Newcastle AND Everton have more right to term themselves as elite clubs compared to the three I mentioned, certainly in terms of history. As for Everton it's never easy, I always look at it and think we should be getting three points off these but you're like little terriers humping away at your leg, annoying but effective. I think Cahill is normally good against us and it's pleasing that he's likely to be missing although, not bothered that Fellaini's missing either way.

I think given how hard literally everyone finds it playing there, this is probably our best result in the Premiership since we beat Arsenal at the Emirates. They are everything that is wrong with English football in my view. Technically they play within the rules of the game, but their style is so horrific I think law changes should be implemented, like seriously. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY wants to see football like Stoke City play. Pulis is an ungracious cunt too. His midfield of Delap, Whelan, Pennant and Etherington is the least gifted in the Premier League, they're not tall, but the strikers and centre halfs are animals. If you did away with throw ins and corners, they'd probably score about 15 goals a season. My law change would be you're not allowed to throw the ball more than 20 yards, if only to stop fucking Stoke. When we grew up, everyone hated Wimbledon, everyone, their game wasn't football and 20 years later you would've thought incessant long ball, thuggish, set piece based football would be long consigned to the history book but these bastards show it hasn't been. They're a disgrace to English football, everything about them. They are one of the smallest clubs ever to play in the Premier League, proper small time mentality supporters, who think nothing of starting on families of away fans, and it was summed up by them booing Ba and singing Demba Ba is a wanker, is a wanker, when Ba wanted to fucking sign for them! It was them who fucking knocked him back because it was too much a risk. To me the people of Stoke are about 100 years behind the rest of the country, their outlook and mentality is cringeworthy and more like the personality of people from somewhere like Chechnya, the government should bulldoze it. It's amazing how different people are just 150 miles away. Anyway my Skybet balance today reads.... happy days. I thought Gutierrez was out of this world, I thought Obertan was a lot better, and Guthrie looked like a Premiership midfielder for once. If I could shut my eyes and have to football dreams come true this season it would be us coming 4th, and Stoke going down.

Its kind of got to be deserted as she's going to be quite skimply dressed... is it likely to be open on that day? Not sure she'll take her top off if there's other people around Who is it like???? Some porn star?

http://www.oldgrounds.co.uk/ Canny site for fetishists like MancMag and I. Me two favourites of these are Baseball Ground and The Den. It even looks intimidating The Den, was one of my fav away days when I was there.

Pringle's scrap yard at Newburn would be ideal. It's got that disused feel to it, give him a fiver and he'll be sweet Harry.

There are times I hate them more than the mackems even. Was summed up yesterday by McManaman in the paper, saying Carroll would take longer to settle at Liverpool because there's more pressure and they're a club on a much higher level than Newcastle? Fucking what? For starters you could play for Real Madrid and the pressure would be no greater than it is here. Even Souness the cunt said the pressure and focus on you managing Newcastle United is greater than he found it at Rangers and Liverpool, and they're only on another level because they have a rich owner no other reason. They haven't won the title for 21 years, and haven't even come close to it, I just don't get why they're regarded as special. You could write a fucking book on why they're cunts, two books even, and it's not just the football club. It's the attitude of scousers too, they're not all twats, the likes of the young lad Idioteque is areet, but I've met so many I've just wanted to smack, the ones who accentuate their horrible accents too, I'm honestly grimacing writing this about them. My dislike of Liverpool is significantly greater than my dislike of Everton and I don't like them neither.

Four timer yesterday - Malaga won 2-1, Lazio won 3-0, Atletico Madrid won 4-1, and am just waiting of Newcastle the neet for £200.

I was actually

And a thousand Asian gamblers won a fortune *allegedly Mind the next game after them allegations pmsl at Southampton, he put his hat out to the crowd as if to say howay am bungable.

He was nee Paul Wyn. Even though he might've been a borderline wrongun, he caused nee one nee harm and made tens of millions for good causes. I mean he might've said to a 25 year old lass "how pet ye fancy a shag" but we've all used the Sidney Smutt book of chat up lines when we've been single nuw n then, so lets not tarnish what he was, which was someone who made good causes loads of money. I mind when I was a kid this ginger kid on Jim'll Fix It come on, and I thought poor cunt, then ye seen him, he had legs but only to his knees, and one full arm. Dear Jim fix it so I can take a penalty at the kop end. This kid took a pen Grobelaar dived the other way and the ball went in the other side. The kid was beaming. So fair enough ye wouldn't want to naa what was on the cunts hard drive, no cunt will ever know, but to me he's not in the "wrongun till proven other wise category".

Listen to this, just shows it pays to shop around. I've got £18 on Man Utd, Rangers, Chelsea, Carlisle and Sheffield United. The bets on with Paddy Power - returns £271. The exact same bet with Sky Bet £230. Oh dear Skybet. Also done a mad £6 bet worth £872 Swansea, Wigan, Birmingham, Huddersfield, WBA, Burnley.

CT getting more abuse over there than I can ever remember him getting over here. He seems to have an angst against HBA. All I'll say is me mate, who's football opinion I respect probably as much as anyone who's not involved in the game, said his attitude and application at Blackburn were an absolute and utter disgrace. Some snippets... Dave: I agree Listen statto, he played twice for a full 90. One might of been the behind closed doors game. The question which you've nicely dodged still stands. To be fair CT slags HBA BEFORE the game I don't know why, but hearing about his show at Blackburn, maybe it was some sort of intuition that he was going to be pish.

Definitely my favourite away game, and my proudest moment as a toon fan. You could talk about the best Man Utd have ever been, Boca Juniors, Galatasaray, Dortmund, Marseille or Napoli, there's not one support on earth could touch us that day.

Everton 0 Man Utd 4 Chelsea 2 Arsenal 0 Man City 3 Wolves 0 Norwich 1 Blackburn 3 Sunderland 3 Aston Villa 1 Swansea 2 Bolton 0 Wigan 2 Fulham 1 West Brom 2 Liverpool 1 Tottenham 1 QPR 1 Stoke 1 Newcastle 2

If I'm not mistaken this was the first EVER game that Newcastle were on Sky. Even under Ashley younguns have it cushy compared to those days, Clarkie was probably our star player and he was 19. John Aldridge's pens used to piss me off, they never ever got pulled up neither cheating bindipping cunt.
