Could the fact that the mail is banned from SJP and we've just had our best result in a couple of years have a bearing on why this crock of fuckin shit has appeared this week?....upset the print media and they will try to get their own back in the most childish way they can...see also the sun and Southampton FC's stance over match day photographers

Black and White checked scarves/hats worn by roughly half of the crowd at SJP.....was in the Percy after the game on Sunday and a lad came in wearing one "Traffic Light" puffa jackets.....3 different colour bands, cool as fuck..also denim dunagarees, for some unknown reason? and err...Espadrilles ...which, correct me if I'm wrong style freaks, have made a comeback this summer?...

Stevie's entertaining man. I'll give Stevie his due, he does have a bit of wit and knowledge, but when someone is ranting it tends to just sound like noise...Stevie don't make the jump to the "talkies" it won't suit your patter mate

Is he not just some sort of manc version of Stevie?

Interesting. Does that mean he's using Nolan in a holding type role? no it means hes fuckin guessing like the rest of us

Whatever happens tonight will it be as bad as being third in the league in mid April with a chance to finish second and letting the twats put six past us at home?.........well thats the straw am clinging to anyway

Wasn't he 5th or 6th choice though? Who turned the job down?...any other supperanuated "hard men" who confuse being hard with being a bully incapable of motivating millionaires?....

Face price of £42 quid to a good home pm me if anyone is interested

your tactics are outdated....we're going to punt it up to Carroll and hope for the best, in line with modern tactical theory We'll play 5 in midfiled including Barton,Nolan and Guthrie and only one of Guti or Routledge, which means Guti... Willo and Collo, Jose and errr....Perch or Taylor is really the only choice CH has got to make. 4 nowt at least

True, but I was there and the whole fuckin lot of them were pissing themselves, not just a minority. What goes round comes round....t'is the nature of football

This. Cunts. I laughed when I heard the news. People looked at me in a funny way. They don't understand

I think you're just looking wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much into little things.. Aye, probably. My main point was what a total mug he made of himself. Thats funny.....a Rangers fan I work with told me yesterday that Alan Smith is a huge Rangers fan....I told him I thought he'd be more likely to be a Leeds fan, but he said that Smith became keen on the Gers when they played Leeds in the champs league in the early 90s

Thats funny.... earlier this week Fergie said the only player not fit for Sundays Charity Shield is Michael Carrick looks like he wasnt counting Hargreaves but its fair to say only him, Ferdinand and Anderson will definetly miss their league opener v our good selves http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_pre...njury_table.php

good comment I've not heard before. It is and it started happening in the mid 80s just as I left school on that side of the border.There was also a large scale teachers strike and part of their industrial action was a ban on members taing extra curricular activities including Saturday morning sport. I went to Kelso High School and we had 6 rugby teams on a Staurday morning without fail. My sister works at the school now and says they stuggle to turn out 3 most weeks. Since then the only truly international class football player Scotland have produced may be John Collins but I know that may well be a view not endorsed by the majority of posters on here The other side of this coin is communities, and as mentioned earlier in the thread this affects the North East as much as it does Scotland. The ones that produced all the quality players (invariably industrial and working class; Scotlands central belt,the north east,Merseyside,East London etc) are all sad shadows of their former selves. The jobs went first,then the loss of self respect needed to dedicate yourself to sport when days are long and full of nothing. The corresponding benefit culture that sprang up to replace the jobs I imagine saps any will from potentially good players, and that is before you consider cheap and available drugs on lots of street corners. This is starting to affect the England team as we speak, look beyond the first 11 and you see one of the reasons why they failed so badly in the summer....Green and Upson first choice back up? if it is said that West Ham won the world cup in 66 you could say they went a large way to blowing it in for England in 2010. These islands dont produce the players they once did full stop. And its down to society rather than foreign players/coaches/lack of coaching etc if you ask me.

I think he might be hanging out around the Life Centre a fair bit now hes back..... http://footballboners.blogspot.com/2009/03/xisco.html

True, but the only reason you're on here is because you're fuckin jealous of those crowds. Be a good little bell end and run along to admire all your 20 zillion trophies....we don't care about you, them or your club.....and one things for sure we'll never be in our nearest and bitterest rivals shadow, or be so piss poor in comparison to them that they have to take up a rivalry with another club. havent they just spent the last season in the division above you? Yeah but its not quite the same as 5 European cups and 18 league titles is it? Or that a now pretty much second rate Liverpool still look down their noses at you lot. Historically we're more succesful than Sunderland. Thats a narrow minded and parochial view admittedly, but its mostly what English football is about, outside of the top level anyway. And lets face it, both Newcastle and Everton know all about being outside the top level.

Liverpool population- 460,000 Newcastle population- 190,000 From 2001 census. Catchment area? If you take Tyne and Wear, the population in 2001 was 1,095,200 Merseyside was 1,362,026 So theres the best part of 400,000 more potential supporters in Merseyside than there is in Tyne and Wear and both have 2 Premier League clubs.....and obviously if you add together the monthly attendance figures for eachof the 4 clubs during the season you may well find that the North East footballing public has greater numbers in general than Merseyside despite the disparity between population and relative success of the 4 clubs. Liverpool are one of the worlds great football clubs due to their history but couldnt fill their ground for every game last season. Everton?...the less said the better I think

Liverpool population- 460,000 Newcastle population- 190,000 From 2001 census. what difference does that make? you still only have 1 team But Everton and Liverpool are historically far more successful clubs, which, according to some, is all that matters You should be packed out every week old son because you won the FA cup in 1995. so higher attendances matter more than trophy's won? how many points do you get for filling your ground? About as many as you get for winning the FA cup, which you used further back in the thread when you said you were awful in the 90s and yet still won more than us, which is true. By the way, do you lot still send Hans Segers christmas cards?

Has there been a mass breakout from Broadmoor this evening?

I dont usually get involved in these little tete a tetes but it has to be pointed out that sniffer was the nickname of Alan Clark, centre forward for Don Revie's Leeds

Theres a school of thought that think this man wasnt guilty anyway.... Don't know if the Doctor is a sad old conspiracy theorist or not but but I think theres a lot more to this affair than meets the eye. In view of this, maybe the Senate commitee should stop being such a bunch of posturing drama queens and instead try to tell the truth about what really happened and why Gadaffi was basically implicated in the first place and then, when it was conveniant, brought in from the cold.But the US (and former UK based multi national oil corporations) may well regard something like this as inconveniant, telling the truth to bereaved relatives in the US and the UK and all that, when there are tyrants who could be fingered and money to be made on the side of it. In any case, the Scottish justice system was seemingly good enough to secure a very dodgy conviction in the first place but as soon as they make a decision (suppported by independant medical evidence that has been supplied to the Senate) that the US doesn't agree with they suddenly have to answer for it in full US public view. I don't think they are entitled to have it both ways.

think I fell for this hook line and sinker yesterday...the windows logo did me I think...nowts happened yet and i dont use my laptop for banking for this very reason....but I do the odd bit of shopping...should in cancel my bankcard?
