dear oh dear oh dear I take it you became a football supporter in August??? Anyone who has followed this lot for more than 10 minutes KNOWS we'll be 30 points clear at Xmas, then lose solidly so it all depends on a penalty at the end of the playoffs which Ameobi will scuff and slice out for a throw-in .............................................

what is needed is a decent way of compensating the clubs that develop these kids before they are 16 right now they are free agents the moment they reach 16 - and if they sign for ManU then their old club can get nowt

I can't remeber a time when we had such poor keepers - we'll be the same as the Scots if it gets much worse

This trouble has been brewing for ages After going to Palace I stayed over Sunday as a mate had got me a ticket for Fulham v CHelski - on the way back to his place we were accosted by a totally p****** West Ham supporter aggrieved at their tanking by Spurs and promising "a real load of action" against "them c****" at Millwall" He was part of a group and they can't have been a year under 50 years old - this one runs very deep - like Rangers -Celtic or us against the Unwashed

aye and did you see Milner last week - at International level..............

agreed

Always thought he was a Championship player - tries hard, lot of presence but not the first touch required in the PL

they can't score - we can't score ................ could be a desperate match.............

A fair price. I'm paying £158.96 with FlyBe to fly Newcastle to Gatwick for the Crystal Palace game. Why did you not get the train long time on the train.........................

around 54 55 04.35N 001 28 03.11W nasty little runway but great for car hire........................

I'd suspect that hidden debts might well have involved Mr Shepherd and friends There were odd things like the Club renting Shepherd Offshore warehouses IIRC - and who DID pay for aal them business jets? I'd guess £ 75mm cash up front and maybe another £ 30mm if we get back up in 24 months..................

we lost out in 1966 and the games were played at Joker Park and Tiresome Stadium remember Never underestimate our ability to shoot ourselves in the foot on big occasions..........

Is it happening or are we just too depresssed

The trouble was he could only run in straight lines - I can remember once standing on the open east side and he got the ball over by the Directors box - but he was pointing ACROSS the field not DOWN it He accelerated to Warp Factor 9 but he was heading straight for us, he couldn't pass or stop so eventually he shot straight into the crowd at the last moment - all of who had their fist out in front of their face the moment they saw him coming so only half a dozen were laid out

aye but with world class service he can probably still get enough goals so they can play him against the dross in the PL and the early Cup games and spread the load on their main team

the extra is clearly bloody Plymouth and two trips to S wales................. both of which I'd pass on if I were you NUFC v. Swansea used to be fight of the year in 70's (went back to a game there in which only 17 players finished the game - pre-subs) and Cardiff think they are really tough 'n aalll

"A"level geography that man

pretty dodgy IMHO

any idea when the fixture list is out?

It's as grim a prospect as I can remember in my 50 years supporting them

The ground doesn't belong to the club - in the 60's they were only getting new leases for very short periods as the Council and the Club loathed each other - that's why there were no 1966 World Cup games at SJP as there was no security of tenure and the club refused to invets anything on a short lease. When Sir John came along they negotiated a much longer lease ?99 years? or longer The ground is also confined due to the Listed terrace on the east side that belongs to the University

86 points from 46 games is doable - but we really HAVE to win all our home games to be in with a chance IMHO and who the hell will score any goals??? Maybe Ameobi will prove us all right when we said he'd be a great star in the championship..............

I'm afraid the idea of loyalty went out when the money came in.................

I agree - every away game will be a bloody Cup Tie
