Here's a very drunken and original opinion that I'd like to share, OBERTAIN IS SHITE.

Chill out Ant, Hba isnt 100% by his own admission, Taylor is playing well and Obertan needs support, Pardew has confidence in him so I'm willing to give him a crack Obertan has had enough support, he needs dropping, maybe that would get his mutated lightbulb head into gear. Oh dear Oh dear what? He's terrible, I wouldn't mind him as back up but to start him in almost every bloody game is beyond belief.

1. What is your opinion on Mike Ashley? I know he's not generally liked.. Arsehole who made some horrendous decisions particularly in the first few years at the helm. Now running the club on a shoe string and doing relatively well/getting lucky depending on how one views it. 2. What is your opinion on Alan Pardew? Used to hate Pardew but he's done well in his year here so have gradually warmed to him to some extent. 3. How do you rate your season so far? Good. If we can finish 7th it would be a success compared to the dross of recent years. 4. Why on earth St. James' Park has got some terrible sponsor name? Is it Ashley responsible for that? Yes he is. 5. How do you feel on Andy Carroll? I still think Carroll could come good as long as he keeps himself out of trouble off the pitch (which I have severe doubts about). Obviously Liverpool spent far too much on him but he's still got a lot of potential imo. 6. Who have been Newcastle's best players so far this campaign? Top5: Krul, Ba, Colo, Cabaye, Taylor 7. And the worst? Obertan 8. Would you like to see Sunderland relegated, or would you miss the Tyne-Wear derby too much? Seen them relegated many times, it would be a non event to most Newcastle fans. 9. What are you hoping for in the January transfer window? Two defensive signings and a striker but that isn't going to happen. 10. What is your opinion on Kenny Dalglish, our manager and your former Seems to have a victim complex/thinks everyone's against him/Liverpool. Good manager in his day but has made some ridiculously expensive signings in recent times and deserves criticism if Liverpool don't finish in the top 4 considering the money spent. In terms of his time here, he was poor but bought some great players (Given, Speed, Solano, Hamman). 11. What do you make from Liverpool's season so far? So-so. If either Carroll or Suarez were scoring regularly (a big if) you'd be doing ok. 12. Newcastle are given a wild card to sign a random Liverpool player. Who would you opt for? Suarez (even though he's an annoying git) or alternatively, take back Enrique. 13. Are there any youth players coming through the Toon ranks worth keeping an eye on? Adam Campbell is supposed to be the next big thing. 14. Do you have any particular memories of a game between Newcastle and Liverpool? The infamous 4-3 game lives long in my memory unfortunately. 15. Where will both teams be come May? Liverpool 6th Newcastle 7th (if we sign some cover in the window) otherwise 8th 16. What will the score be come Friday night? 1-1

He came from Southampton didn't he?

I used to watch tv shows/films etc via http://www.alluc.org but haven't been on it in a while. There's probably better sites out there but that's all I know.

In terms of history it's a close one but like Tom says they're the epitome of beige.

Unless he's seriously causing troubles behind the scenes it's absolutely scandalous that he isn't starting.

Good grief. This mug needs righting.

KSA was joking, obviously...

only had it once in my adult life, the culprit was some deep fried squid I got in a restaurant abroad you have my sympathies...

Couple of big name teams missing from it this year. How Cameroon, Nigeria and Egypt all failed to quality is beyond me.

It would be a serious offence if he randomly assaulted the guy. Not, as is in this case, that he assaulted a man who attacked him.

Aye, and as I said before it's not as if Suarez just arrived in Liverpool on a boat from Uruguay one day. His years playing in Holland should have been enough education where the race issue in football is as big as anywhere.

Alan "You'll win nothing with coloureds" Hansen.

Still think we'll finish 7th or 8th as I have all season. Everyone goes through bad patches bar the top 2 or 3 sides. I think even Pardew will see the light regarding Obertan and drop him soon, if not for the next game then the game after that.

Doesn't fit with the sort of player we're after these days at all though, ie he's getting old and is on massive money. Also, I reckon Ferguson probably still wants him at least til the end of the season in case of injury to Rooney/Hernandez.

Never seen the attraction or had ant interest in cumshots whatsoever.

This would appear to be the case (the cultural/social differences in South America) but considering Suarez had played for several years in Holland where the race issue is just as prevalent as the UK he should have known better. Then again, this sort of thing probably goes on all the time but it's good to make an example of a few players if they can conclusively prove their guilt imo

Tim Vickery (who I have a lot of time for ordinarily) was saying that one of the Uruguayan players is nicknamed "The Monkey" and that playful racism of this sort is treated completely differently in South America. There's been several points put forwards like this, as if Suarez had just arrived on a boat from South America one day to Liverpool, conveniently forgetting his years playing in Holland where the race issue in football is as prevalent and contentious as anywhere.

I'd be shocked if the FA have handed out an 8 game ban based solely on Evra's evidence.

So that's what Nick K Poland or whatever he was called has been up to.

Aye, I don't think he ever explicitly spoke out against abortion as you say. I did enjoy his obituary rants: http://www.screenjunkies.com/tv/tv-news/5-scathing-obituaries-written-by-christopher-hitchens/

Years ago I was a lurker on tynetalk (before it turned into a ghost town due to an exodus) and towards the end of my time on there one of the moderators died suddenly, very young if I remember right. Was one of the best/most reasonable posters on there too. It's a very strange feeling when someone who you've never met but have been reading the thoughts and experiences of on a regular basis just disappears like that.
