McFaul

Very strange selection. Perch at CB oh dear. Ben Arfa up front on his own?

RIP to that 15 year old brummie girl, stabbed to death on the bus this morning going to school. I hope he gets tortured to death.

I've got a good feeling about this the neet. I've studied their team, they're not shite, but I guarantee we'll give them the hardest game they've had so far. I think we'll get at least a score draw, there ye are. Elliot Simpson Taylor Mbiwa Haidara Marveaux Tiote Cabaye Sissoko Ben Arfa Shola That's what I'm hoping for. Look at that midfield man, is there's better than wors? Is it fuck, we can get something tonight on the plastic pitch, hope he starts Ben Arfa. Anzhi 1 Toon 1.

A fancy dan winger who can't cross the ball. Maloney is a better player, his problem at Celtic was injuries, technically he's a fantastic player. Martinez went over the top saying he could play for Barcelona, but he's very good when fit.

Why? He was SPL Player of the Season twice.

He's shite, I don't know what Hughton was thinking bidding £9m for him. See the best player to come from Celtic since Henrik Larsson, and that's Shaun Maloney. He's a proper good player, he's massively under achieved in his career imo.

Thought Celtic played above themselves from what I saw, 2-0 wasn't a fair reflection, maybe 2-1, but that wasn't bad at all. They look better now than they did under Strachan or Mowbray. I still think that team would be relegated from the Premier League though. Lennon spoke very well, and I think he's right in what he said, class told in terms of finishing. Sounded like he'll be leaving Celtic soon the way he was talking as well, which will probably be a good thing for him, given the death threats he receives in Northern Ireland.

He's an absolute cock who loves playing devils advocate.

We've played two games as high profile as that in my life time.

Scandalous decision. If that's a sending off, you might as well do away with football. His eyes were completely on the ball, the Real player comes from no where he doesn't see him and it's too late to pull out. Scandalous decision. Yellow at the very best. You might as well chuck football as a sport if that's a red card. Biggest club competition in the world, and they exit the competition because of a referees dubious interpretation of the laws. What the fuck happened to discretion? Disgrace. A bad night for European football. There's a vendetta against English football.

When I saw Giggs starting, with no Rooney, I questioned SAF sanity. To be fair though he's been Man Utd's best player so far. I didn't even consider this being 0-0 but it might be, very cagey affair so far, RVP and Ronaldo have both been absolutely shite.

Rangers are not a bigger club than Newcastle, never have been in my view, but they are in Scottish terms absolutely massive. They form part of the very fabric of Scottish life. They won't be in the SPL, but so what, it's not like the standard of football in the SPL is an attraction. More money, bigger crowds watching, bigger profile, I'd rather play for Rangers in front of 46,000 at one of the best stadiums in the world than at Tannadice in front of 6,000 on 1200 quid a week.

Me mate sent me the most ridiculous text I've ever seen last night, every bit as ridiculous as your post here. He said and I quote "Benteke will be as good as Drogba". PMSL. The best he'll ever be is an Emile Heskey.

£200 season tickets apparently, fair play to the tramps though.

Let Gloom know it's Christmas time.

As amazing a bloke as SBR was, how anyone can rank what he did for the club compared with Keegan baffles me. Keegan took us from being the lowest of the low, to being WITHOUT DOUBT one of the best sides in world football for a while. He did it with an almost god like presence the likes of which I doubt English football will see again. SBR, aye he did a canny job, but that team he took over we were too good to go down imo, the second season was a disaster and it wasn't until we signed Bellamy and Robert for money all bar 4 other clubs could afford that we actually kicked on, and a lot of that was to do with Chelsea and Liverpool underachieving. People rewrite history, but I can think of a good few better Newcastle managers than SBR imo. People are fickle, half the crowd wanted him gone when we finished 5th in 2004, that is a FACT that frequently gets swept under the carpet.

I've been suffering from insomnia too, for a few weeks. It's making me young eyes look like Dev Alahan am fuckin sick of it. 237am every morning "du du DU DU I got you babe, du du DU DU I got you babe" without the sound, every fuckin day for 2 weeks till a few nights ago and it was 4am. Anyway. The ground should be named after Peter Beardsley that's how much I love him. He gets a load of shit you know people saying he's a cunt, I've met him one on one 6 or 7 times, always an absolute gentleman with all the time in the world for you, greatest player I've ever seen. I'd choose Keegan but those cockney bastards wouldn't have it, so me second choice would be Hughie Gallagher. Reading the history books, he more or less single handedly won us our last title, 5ft5 captained the club, left us for a world record fee, a legend by any measure. The last one would be Alan Shearer. I'll be honest, I don't like him as a bloke, he comes across as a dour arrogant nobhead. At the same time, imo he is the greatest centre forward in the history of English football, he's a geordie and he gave his best years to Newcastle United, can't say fairer than that.

How can you lose fat when you look like Tom Hanks at his worst point in "Philadelphia"? That's what I'd like to know.

I have to win toontastic slimmer of the year so far like. 14st 5 now actually not 14 7 having just been to the gym. Me arse is like Jean Claude van Damme man, nee moobs, nowt wobbles when I run, never ever going back to being overweight again. It's just pure laziness. Any fat bastards reading this, you're fat through choice, stop feeling sorry for yourselves and do something about it.

Probably an inappropriate smiley but Hope you all get some good luck, you deserve it after that ordeal.

Well I've not been in proportion for ages but I'm getting there. If I can lose a stone and a half in a month anyone can. You look good for your age, but that pic of you on the floating lino in the pool, well I think a few Guinness's could've done you the world of good, and you thought you were fat then!

People forget Santon's age, he's doing OK, yes he'll make mistakes but he's got something and he can actually play too. For me I'm fuckin sick of Tiote, from being in a place where I'd have been gutted to see him go, I'd actively encourage it. He's a liability, it's like he goes on the pitch after having played some violent computer game, and continues it on in games. He just doesn't think, his forward usage is negligible, if we had an offer of 12-15s I'd snap anyones hand off. Obviously Cisse too, his form has been utterly woeful.

Aye but it's horses for courses. When I was on telly I was 13st, and when I look back now, it looks a case of some cunt call Bob Geldoff, because I looked so thin looking back. I'm very tall and quite broad, so anything under 13 and a half and I'd look like I should be in Trainspotting. I do a lot of training as well, so I'm not skin and bones I'm muscle too, got legs like Roberto Carlos. Sorry I wasn't having a go at the 11st mafia, just for me, I know I'd look like a rentboy within 2 and a half stone of that. Like Kieron Dyer would look shite at 14st, and by the same token Lennox Lewis would look shite at 12st.
