Andrew Flintoff

Accessing on BlackBerry ftw.

Amount of time spent outside the top tier would probably have an impact on that, I'd suggest.

I quite like Taylor these days (since watching The Match - he seemed a decent enough bloke) but he was so out of his depth with England. He needed to surround himself with strong personalities and sound tacticians so that he could turn to them when he needed them, but instead he was surrounded by the epitome of yes-men.

PS3 demo up on PSN

The T-Mobile Web n Walk one does the trick Jonny, got one free from work. Only issue is you have to call to turn off the filter lock.

Wasn't smoggeordie gonna play? I can drop him a text see if he wants to make it 12?

Either does me if I'm required. I take it it's Sunday 12th we're on about not Sat 11th?

Just along the bypass mate, Pelaw. Bit of a shittip but all going to plan I'll be outta there shortly I go to the Snooker Hall from time to time - some err...characters get in there.

Where do you live Besty?

11th is a Sat actually isn't it? Make it Gateshead - cheaper, easier and better

11th is better btw but can make 4th if necessary

I'd be up for a kickabout like. Though knowing me I'll forget I even posted in this thread, so if someone could drop me a mail at garyramm at hotmail.co.uk if I'm required that'd be grand...

I would imagine that given the nature of his departure is under investigations by courts as part of his claim for constructive dismissal he will have been advised to say nothing by the LMA.

Temuri as Toon manager would be fantastic, a nutter on the pitch, hopefully a nutter off it.

Barton's first game back is the Mackem game Nick. Whether he'll play or not is debatable.

Agreed, only started to get behind them second half. Still half a section of Blackburn fans chanted louder. Fair enough not just them have to get behind them but it's called the singing section for a reason. So because we choose to go into an area for singers, we have to ignore what goes on in front of us and sing and dance and happyclap for 90 minutes while everyone else can sit on their hands and sing fuckall for 90 minutes? Rrrrrrrrright, sounds fair. For the record, the singing section did well I thought. It could do with some help from the other 42000 wankers. Right behind you on this one Fucking shite atmosphere today I thought the whole point of the singing section was to group together all the singers to get the chants started off but its upto the rest of the stadium to follow suit. Cocks round me buttoned it all game except to slag the players off - boils my piss Thats the problem, mate. The singing section can start as many songs as you like but there's only 1000 of us. 1000 in a 52000 seater stadium is never going to sound electric is it. The idea was to have the singers together to start the songs and hopefully the noise will spread. But it doesn't, it stays within those 1000 because the rest think they don't have to bother their arses as they aren't in a "singing section" - they now have a perfect excuse. There wasn't a single song from any other part of the ground today from what I heard/saw. Gallowgate was fairly lively today IMO. That's the thing - you can't hear the opposite end to where you are, so they may be lively but from up in Level 7 there was fuck all from any other stand mate. But the "singing section" take the stick for it.

It's all well and good having a pop at what you deem to be "quiet" but what are you doing about it? You sit there, all high and fucking mighty while singing fuckall. It's ok though, you don't have to sing, you can leave it to the singing section. It's people like you that have got us where we are now. I bet you booed Robsons team off and fucked off early at the end of the season we finished fifth. I bet you were shouting for Shepherd out when we failed to qualify for the Champions League. I bet you hailed Ashley as the saviour then changed your mind when you realised it wasn't like the brochure. Because you're a fucking sheep, that's why.

Soopafan status revoked. Huw yee! I'm trying to find somewhere to watch the game in Casablanca but to be honest finding (a) a pub and ( football in a country where booze is not widespread and is currently in the midst of Ramadan is more difficult than I'd first presumed. Bit of a shame, really. Anyone got any links?

I'm in Morocco so I'm having to give this one a miss like

Surely Colo in CM

Even by NUFC standards that's phenomenal

Regardless of the moral implications It's best not to get left behind. However sooner or later English football will implode and there will be a changing of the guard. Let make sure we are at the top. Agreed...unfortunately. Football really is fucked when a billionaire isn't rich enough.

This shit worries me.
