4 of those 6 games were at St. James' Park and to say we have always been underdogs is utter bollocks. Football also goes back more than 3 years. "always" as in "during our six-match winning streak." Sorry if that confused you. The first three of those wins came when Spurs finished fifth. I doubt anyone expected us to win for the other three either. It's fair to say that we were pretty big underdogs for all six. Bollocks, utter bollocks. Bollocks, utter bollocks. Apparently that makes whatever you say true. I'm lost for words with you I really am, to think we were underdogs for those 6 games shows that you know nothing about football. Humor the fool here then, when were we favorites to beat Spurs in those six games? When they were occupying a Champions League place? When Pattison, Huntington, and Ramage were holding down regular first-team places? Or under the sterling leadership of Joe Kinnear? You are obviously clueless so I will not be bothering to answer these stupid questions.

The location of St. James' Park, quite simply the best located stadium in the country by a long way.

If I can play it will be, there is still a chance I'll have to pull out.

I imagine a million or so black and white shirts are still stuck in a factory somewhere in Bangladesh because they haven't figured out which league patch to put on them yet. More bollocks from you, replica shirts aren't sold with the patches already on. So does that mean a third party put the league patch on ? You can buy them at the club shop and they will put them on for you along with shirt printing or you can iron them on yourself at home.

All started going tits up when we lost to Partizan on penalties.

Just because we're fucking shit now doesn't mean Parker was a quality player, I wasn't a fan and yes he is better than what we've got now and I would have him in our side right now in a heartbeat but that shows poor management since his departure rather than that Parker is a quality player.

We did however have some central midfielders that could at least pass the ball in Emre and Parker. I wasn't the biggest fan of Parker but he was and is a lot better than what we currently have in central midfield. I liked Parker and Emre as individuals n'all, tbh... Roeder didn't sign either of them though... I know he didn't sign them but they were part of his squad, you said that squad was worse than the one we have know and quite frankly I disagree. It surprises me, does that. I think we have a much better squad personally - certainly a far better crop of individuals. (I know some players from 'today's' squad have since departed). Given, Harper / Given, Harper Carr / Beye, R Taylor Taylor, Bramble, Moore, Ramage, Edgar, Huntington / Bassong, Coloccini, S Taylor, Edgar, Cacapa Babayaro, (Bernard) / Enrique Solano, Milner / Jonas, Geremi Parker, Emre, Butt, Clark / (Barton), Guthrie, Nolan, Butt N'Zogbia, Luque, Duff / N'Zogbia, Duff Martins, Dyer, Sibierski, (Owen), (Ameobi) / Martins, Owen, (Viduka), Carroll, Lovenkrands, Ameobi, Smith Given Carr - Taylor - Bramble - Babayaro Solano - Parker - Emre - N'Zogbia Martins - Dyer Given Beye - Coloccini - Bassong - Enrique Jonas - Barton - Guthrie - N'Zogbia Martins - Owen The midfield's pretty much on par, i'd concede - but aside from that, i genuinely think we've got the crux of a very good side here, which is simply short on numbers. The centre-mid is w***, agreed, but aside from that - i think it's much better than the squad Roeder amassed, especially in terms of defensive/attacking personnel. Guess we'll probs just have to agree to disagree on that one really. Neither of them are great squads but in Solano, Milner, Emre and N'Zogbia we had players that whilst they were not amazing they could create chances, we don't really anywhere near that level of creativity in our squad now which shows just how bad we have become because those 4 I've named were far from amazing that year.

Parker played 41 games that season.

That's brilliant this will be terribly terribly ironic, but how do you do that! http://tinyurl.com/632hcv

We've always been worse than Spurs? Have a word with yourself.

What does de rigueur mean? It's French I think, similar meaning to protocol or standard.

No kidding, Habib. Where did he say that?

playing well till he broke his leg a coulpe of weeks ago.. Kadar broke his leg, Tozer has a cartilage injury.

Every time I see this thread title I can hear Keegan in my head 'We're still fighting for this title and he's got to go to Middlesborough and get something...'

But not the date in the top left corner! You mean the bottom left corner? Or the games played, obv. No I didn't but I see it now, it's also in the top left corner of the table.

We still need a referee, resident referee PM doesn't fancy it.
