Usually here (not counting twitter). Then flickr. While watching news on tv and supping coffee.

Blacks had a sale on in the metro centre, no idea if it still has. Failing that Go Outdoors at west Denton is canny.

I do a canny bit of walking in the NE and that could be loads of places. Cragside is a good shout, actually going there Friday. Could be Staward Gauge maybe as well? That's down by Allenbanks.

Pardew making the tough decisions to win us a game. The whole team looked tired and bring off Ba and the brilliant solo goal by Ben Arfa gave us a needed lift to go on to win. Knowing Ba is frustrated at the moment, a weaker manager might not have brought him off. Bit petulant yes, hopefully the two week break will settle him down and give the whole team a much needed rest.

Happy with that like. Didn't expect colo to be back. More comfortable with perch in the centre instead of injured Tiote than I've ever been.

Silva was fantastic at the start of the season. Nasri started off well for them as well. Don't think anyone has stood out this year. Maybe aguero earlier.

I like that Hoegaarden, pretty strong stuff iirc. Not usually my type either (I usually go for darker)

I've got one about North East football that's canny. Includes the very beginning etc. called Pioneers of the North by Paul Joannou and Alan Candlish. Newcastle upon Tyne a modern history (edit by robert colls and bill lancaster) is a decent read that starts mid 1800s I've a few other but that's a good starting place.

More to add! I'm on this every day now like. Be safe in the knowledge most is when on the bog

You doing the full 84 mile? Done that a couple of year ago. Fantastic if you get the weather. Some good pubs on the way - Barassford arms in Barassford (sp?) was where had a right old session with the owners and he knocked us up steak and chips. Proper pub Take lots of compede

Had one but the oven bit fucked. Think it's a case of the more it can do the more can go wrong.

City imploded. Some fine individual players but lack of togetherness is clear

Def expecting 3pts from this one. Whether we have the same starting 11 as previous or 1/2 players swapped. Still expect to win by 2.

Think it depends who is at CH. Perch more likely to start there.

At least Pardew has acknowledged that we need 2-3 players but more if we get in to Europe. More if those out of contract don't resign.

Yep! Like most I started looking for patterns in the number formations, only when looking for more obvious and not patterns did I spot it.

I'd rather get there and get put out than just not get there at all.

Anyone stick with this? Was good at first but I seemed to tire quickly. Going to have another look with patch 1.2 hits. They have population issues and need to merge servers to make pvp any good. Also needs open world pvp zones worth visiting. Some of the stuff in 1.2 seems canny but not sure how long it would keep me there.

Agreed He is right in what he does say, he'll prob be a late fitness test. If they think they can get a game out of him baring in mind the rest after that game they prob will. Aye, like most I'd love Ba to get a goal. Just to settle things down with all of the "he's unhappy" bollocks.

Wife is taking kids to in laws so Im off to the gym (thats open till two). Then Ill be off there to meet her and the rabble. Telling myself, its just 1 hr, you can be there for 1 hour surely? (teeth gritted)
