McFaul

Streams fucked, this isnt a 3-0 like we were the better team first half, 8 shots to 2, but woeful defending, Anyone know the Gateshead Darlo score?

Has anyone got a really good tributary please, that I can make full screen.

Me first bet looks doon, Tottenham won't fuckin shoot, and Leeds are 1-0 doon.

Three centre halfs FFS. It could work ok in Colo is in front of the back four.

Wouldn't have taken three of them like mate. Ipswich should win, but lost 3-0 at home midweek, and I never bet against teams who have just sacked their manager like Scunny. I know fuck all about the Bundesliga midtable, and Bradford are shite

Who's that with? Bet 365? Man Utd HT FT is excellent. Might do another one QPR/Man Utd HT FT pretty solid 3/1 that like. Doncaster lost 6-0 at home recently too.

Works for accumulators too, but bet £20 ffs, you might as well, you get it matched.

Leon Best not in the squad today.

People like Dein, Sugar, Ellis and Hall made it easy though Stevie - they used the momentum of the money and the growth to change the game to generate more money - a classic feedback loop. I honestly hope it all goes tits up but I can't really see it. The saddest thing about the singing section was that it had to be even thought of in the first place. Aye. Even in 96 it was a great atmosphere in the ground you know. I sat in the Leazes lower for years from when the stand went up and most of the time it was mint, the Gallowgate used to make a din too. At Newcastle it started going shite when Dalglish took over, I remember a game we lost at home to Forest in the Cup (Woan scored 2) and it was THE worst atmosphere ever, but that's getting away from the point, it got even worse when the SOS people were punted out the Milburn, and again were victims of greed. Football is eating itself to death. My prediction is 20 years time Man Utd and Arsenal getting 50,000 Newcastle and Tottenham getting 35,000 your Liverpool, Everton's, Villa's 20,000, because the pricing will be too high, and telly will be a more attractive option with the advent of 3D. Nothing in my mind can compete with the atmosphere we used to give off around 94-97 when the Gallowgate corners were completed and before they bothered to consider further expansion. The crescendo immediately before kick off still gives goose bumps thinking about it now. The demand was obviously there to expand and 36,000 seats didn't match the club's ambition but in doing so we traded off atmosphere. The sad endictment of the Sky era is that it has destroyed the idea of the travelling football fan. Look back to the clip in the 80s where we filled the entire Anfield Road end at Liverpool. The best atmospheres I can recall when we had terraces was when we opened up the entire Leazes end to the away fans.. and they filled it! To easy and cost effective now for the travelling fan to stay at home and watch it on TV. They should be doing all they can to encourage more away support as that's what creates the banter. The game(s) against the Mackems where they weren't allowed was a sanitised disaster IMO. The best pre-match was against Man Utd when we lost 0-1. You could see the air balloon from miles away above the ground, and I remember walking up the road behind the East Stand at 715, and all you could hear from the ground was "NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWCAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLL" half an hour before the game this. You don't see pre-match atmosphere anywhere now. Used to be mint in the 80's.

Stan James match your first bet up to £25. Stick it on QPR, Tottenham double, you can't go wrong nearly 3/1. Today 1 Tottenham @ 4/6 2 Leeds @ 11/8 3 Man Utd @ 2/5 4 Arsenal @ 10/11 5 QPR @ 10/11 Multiple Bets 1 x 12.64 5 Folds Stake: 5.00 Potential Winnings: 242.66 1 Exeter @ 1/1 2 Hearts @ 4/7 3 Southampton @ 4/9 4 Notts County @ 8/11 5 Everton @ 1/1 6 Newcastle (+1) @ 4/6 Multiple Bets 1 x 5.00 6 Folds Stake: 5.00 Potential Winnings: 125.69

Why pipe down. Progress reports.

Was looking for something and came across this thread. Nearly 3 years ago it is, and am sorry to say slowly but surely it has got even worse. At Newcastle dismantling the singing corner in favour of families touches on what Danny said about the Paxton Lane stand kicking people out unless they could bring a kid the next season. The £42 Liverpool are charging us, is a tiny example of the marketing drive to get the working class out of football. I firmly believe Murdoch is to blame for everything about what's happened.

Didn't get in till after 3am 7 hours later..... Rocky 4 music in me ipod, losing those calories. 100%er or what? First target is 14st10 by April 1st.

Sunderland, Tottenham, Liverpool, Wolves, Everton, Rangers, Boro, Leeds and Stoke all have one thing in common. They're all fuckin cunts. Fear for us today, Williamson will struggle against their neanderthal players and tactics, some cunt needs to get some Guinness doon the skinny fucka, football wise we're much better than them, but we need to fight, if we don't we'll lose and I sadly think we will, and ye naa me, I'd predict us to win at the Nou Camp some weeks.

Unlucky. I've loved Cheltenham this week, I'm very marginally up, but it's been good stuff. I'm definitely going next year, not just to say I've been but because it's my sporting holy grail. Most people want to go to The WC Final or Monte Carlo for the F1, or fucking the Superbowl (daft cunts), but me I'd love to go to Cheltenham on the Tuesday with £1500 in me pocket, and ideally come back with money in me pocket on the Friday. Everyone who goes says the same thing there's no where better in the world to be, I've been to the National I thought that was shite tbh, and going to the plate at Newcastle is like watching a Sunday morning game compared to the Champions League final. If you like racing as well, you can see they're all top, top class horses even the ones who do shite, will go to meetings and piss races. For me it's the best sporting occasion in Britain, in the world even. Love it.

Stick it all on Stoke to score from a throw in tomorrow.

McCoy wants to hang his silks up. Really wanted Denman to win the old boy, he's had more heart problems than Kanu, and I thought he'd do it, that's the end for him and Kauto now like. At least we're both up today

...and there are cheers now for Rocky Balboa

Hope yous followed my advice £14 up on my £50 stake regardless what happens in the next two. If they both win I'll be 200 up :-) Howay Mario lad.

Two weeks before a champion amongst men was born. That must've been a matter of weeks before they chopped the Leazes down too.

Likewise mate, think it's all to do with getting into the sport in your youth and it consuming every moment of your life. Remember my Nan saying I should go on Mastermind and have NUFC as my specialised subject. . Tell you how anorak I was, the following is all from memory. Remember the 4-0 drubbing of West Ham on the telly? Our scorers and the times they scored were: Neil McDonald - 29 mins Andy Thomas - 32 mins Darren Jackson - 66 mins Andy Thomas - 80 mins Fuck knows how or why I remember that shit, I just do. Must be ingrained in my head. Pretty certain the line up was this as well: 1. Martin Thomas 2. John Anderson 3. Kenny Wharton 4. David McCreery 5. Peter Jackson 6. Glenn Roeder 7. Neil McDonald 8. Andy Thomas 9. Paul Goddard 10. Peter Beardsley 11. Paul Stephenson 12. Darren Jackson (replaced Goddard at half time after that prat George Parris split Goddard's head open). Sad as fuck here like... Canny sad like but no more sad than remembering attendances for specific games. Without looking I'm sure there was 17,948 for that 3-1 win against Chelsea, and just under 24,100 for the televised game with Liverpool, and the biggest crowd that season just over 26,000 against Man Utd. Just had a look 17,858 v Chelsea not far off.

Billy Askew was a great player for Hull, just shite for us had a lot of injuries. He made his debut against Brighton and I was playing football on a field after the game, and who turns up with his Staffy Bull Terrier but Billy Askew, he'd had a shite game. "Billy ye wo magic the day like", then he started talking and I called him a mackem which he took well, but he took his dog home and had a kick about with us for 30 mins, was like playing with Pele at the time or so it felt 11 year old. Sweeney was pony but I remember one game he was like Roberto Carlos against Derby in the ZDS, he scored to this day one of the top 5 goals I've seen at SJP. Do you remember the goal Gazza scored against Chelsea at SJP in his last season?...beat about 4 of them before nearly taking the net out with his finish?....never even seen a recording of it since the day it went in but I'll never forget that one... Only home game I missed that season. Think we won 3-1, and fuck knows how I know this you won't be able to google it, but Kevin Wilson, some kid with a tash scored for Chelsea. Gazza must've put the ball through the stanchion 6 times that season, not enough words could describe how good he was. Aye we won 3-1, had 'Bones' sent off and they had two penalties saved by Gary Kelly. Fucking awesome game. Pitch was a boggy shitpit as well IIRC. There was a canny few sendings off that season. Game against Portsmouth I remember we had someone sent off and they did too, it was either Quinn, Dillon or Kevin Ball for them, fuck knows who for us, and they still had that wanker with the bell even then 23 years ago.
