Unlike Butt who was gash.

Woa!

Even if it wasnt a foul, everybody had stopped anyway. martins goal should of stood, the ball was twatted at his hand from point blank range. i dont know if the whistle blew then your players stopped or your players stopped then the whistle blew. was watching stream so was hard to tell, but if your players stopped than the whistle blew surely that is their own fault. The players stopped after the whistle blew, personally I couldnt see what had happened, I assumed Martins had fouled someone. Either way, the result was a fair result. Aye.

I've said in the Championship with Kinnear as manager. Now THAT is a very fucking scary prospect.

I keep saying to myself, 9 points from Pompy, Boro & Fulham at home. Do that, and we should be ok. Rambling of a mad man I tell ta.

Despite the pressure at the end, didnt really deserve anything from it. We simply (!!) have to win our 3 home games. Do that and we should be fine.

Martins.....

Poor first half from us like. I hope Al aint trying to be too clever with the formations. Did change half way through, hopefully can sort it out now its HT. We aint looked like scoring though, nothing getting through to the forwards again really.

Too easy on the corner that like.

Seems thats what it was. Removed the drivers, downloaded the up to date ones and worked fine.

My point was that Stoke's shite football has them on 39 points and at this minute, I'd be much happier if we had that many. On the support, why is it so difficult to acknowledge that the Atmosphere at Stoke this season has been good? I couldnt give a shite the reasons for it etc, the point is its been good. But hey, what do I know. Since I moved away from West Denton I stopped being able to make rational observations.

Hopefully so, worrying that I got all the other right so far....

Nothing to worry about

No they don't. They are like Portsmouth who are similarly wank fans. Go to Fratton Park now the atmosphere is dead, the realisation has set in they're not really a Premiership club, and like Stoke they will soon be where they belong. Stoke are still in first season syndrome. When we came up I'm sorry like but the atmosphere at St James' would rival anywhere in the world, Stoke are essentially on a one season jolly up, their crowds have almost trebled, give them three years in the Premiership and the atmosphere there will be wank. When Sunderland came up in 1999 the atmosphere at the SOS, far exceeded that of the Britannia, Barnsley made Oakwell intimidating, and the likes of Wolves have done exactly the same. It always amazes me that people fall in to the trap of praising the supports of promoted clubs, and Stoke in particular. Stoke City as a club and as a support in my view are some of the biggest tossers this league has ever known in my time watching football, they are shit fans on their one season jolly up, I have no respect for them and as I said they are no different from any other club that's been promoted. As for us, being a resident of Newcastle I think we are a special club, we are unique and I would argue that point with anywhere and to be fair anyone that's ever played here will tell you really have to live here to understand how unique. Sir Les and Mick Quinn seems to say it every week. Great minds, and all that. I was thinking the exact same thing the other day regarding Barnsley being an example of a club coming up and their fans hoodwinking all and sundry into believing it was like that all the time. The truth is that these small clubs come up and immediately create an atmosphere as if it's a sixth-form party where one or two wine gums have been eaten. WBA were lauded as the same fantastic fans the season they were up, yet nowt is heard about them now (I still think the Baggies fans are better than Stoke's will ever be btw). Stoke are having their day in the sun playing a brand of football that should really have inverted commas either side of it - it stinks. Next season will be problems for them as Pullis will have to decide to try and play the same shite again, or try to change and play real football; either way, they will struggle and their 'magnificent' support will fade and die - just like Barnsley's did. I could be wrong though Would you swap their home atmosphere for ours at the moment and their brand of (winning) football for ours at the moment?

Its changed mind, when it first came out it used to send text updates to your mobile (didnt cost owt). So if you sent someone a message, it was a bit like sending a free text. But, they took that function away after problems with the mobile networks iirc.

Not looking clever after today like. Still, not over yet

Bang on. Bit like what I was trying (ok maybe not very well) to say to Danny the other day. How we are all consumend by it, how it is our special club but thats not taking away anything from what other fans think of their club. On the note, I do think Stoke need to be applauded for their home support.

Sorry mate but its true, Im not being funny but when I was your age I was out and about everyday, hunting for birds, having a laugh with mates. You should be making the most of it. Soon you will have real burdens to contend with.

Just one thing to sort - the forum / thread header bars. They should be a darker grey than they actually are. Thats just picky that like. Go on, mess it up again

Amazing technology these days you know. In fact, my time was saved earlier as Tom deleted a post I hadnt made yet which saved me the bother from typing it.

Aye, seems ok now.

i know, its like a spectrum game loading, i'll have a fiver on Cyan next I'd never heard of Cyan till I got my spectrum 48k (rubber keys ftw!).
