They turned on Reid and Bruce who both got them top ten like.

I went to Kiev in 2003 on Keith Barratt's trip - it was September and we were leaving quite early in the morning. There were a few holiday flights heading out to Spain etc and there were a few full kit mackems catching a few of them. There were a few tasty looking lads on our trip and when they realised where we were going it was funny as fuck watching them scrabbling through their bags looking for t-shirts to put on instead of the red and white shite. Some of them even headed off to the bogs to hide.

Thing is they've been distracted in the last 3 or 4 years by the Derby results and now us being relegated. Now they'll have to focus more on how they play and what they want out of life - it'll be interesting to see how they react especially given the inevitable godawful football.

A game when we let in seven fucking goals.

There were 10100 standing places - how many ticketless fans would there have to have been to have had the effect you imply - 2000? 3000? Yeah, right.

We have Marveaux to fulfill the mildly talented but gutless role.

I remember a quote from Milburn's autobiography where he quoted the song they used to sing about Gallagher which went "Do you ken Hughie Gallagher the wee Scotch lad, the best centre forward Newcastle ever had" where Jackie said how true it was. My Dad saw him play for Gateshead as a guest not long before he killed himself and told me he scored a goal where he trapped the ball from a cross with his head against the post and let it drop over the line. Even more remarkable when you consider it would have been an old skool Casey and not a modern ball.

Why not burn us alive instead. The Tyne bridge is an appropriate ready made hanging location - along side Pardew for his derby record.

Dissing KK is the only real crime of blasphemy on the planet and there's a few in this thread I'd happily see hanged.

FFP was doomed the second a top French club was bought by Arabs.

1. Played no fucker.

They should make a start by banning players who clutch their face when any contact (which usually doesn't exist anyway) is blatantly nowhere near the head. Call it the Rivaldo rule for reference.

Doubt it, when they played in the final 2 years ago Man Utd dominated the first 10 minutes only to get schooled the other 80 and lose 2-0. How long had gone tonight before Pedro went for the oscar? Long after Di Maria went down lack a sack of shit and conned the ref into booking Alves. Yes - and so two wrongs make it okay.

Revert to type? You can't watch many Barca games. Tonight they were horrible, but to call it a regular occurance is daft. Alves has been a cheat all his life - remember the semi against Chelsea? I admit to not watching that much Spanish football - the constant cheating makes me switch off - its not worth the effort overall.

Don;'t give a fuck about Mourinho - most Spanish players (and that includes imports) are complete cheats. There are of course many cheats in England but nothing compared to Spain. If the final doesn't go their way early on and they revert to type against Man U will it all be down to Fergie?

No contact - if there had been the cheating shit wouldn't have been able to waltz back on 10 seconds later.

Both Jonas and Enrique put excellent balls into the box yesterday which went to waste, it's hardly their fault. There's a difference between a couple of Jose's balls which were inches away from providing goals and consistently failing to come anywhere near to picking out a striker with a pass (over dozens of games). I'd also point out that for a player at this level his shooting prowess is nothing short of diabolical.

Funny how when we had a decent centre forward he could never find him with a cross and now that we have shit strikers its suddenly their fault they can't get on the end of his "great crosses". Good worker, shit footballer.

I hate the way he states that EVERY FUCKING CLUB IN THE WORLD now follows his backroom/science model to a tee with no exceptions and no moderation. Yeah right, if it wasn't for you everybody would still be eating pie and chips (ironic considering how he looks).

The Spurs team against Villa cost 116.6m according to something I read - do you think Ashley would have given Redknapp that much?

The games we had after he was sacked (whicg fair enough KK couldn't really affect) would have been lost. There's no way on this planet he would have gone to Spurs and tried to win - I doubt w'ed have got a point. I believe 100% we'd have been relegated. He's a football murderer - the game is infinitely better off without him.

"Shitty", "Chelski", "Citeh", "Man Ure" Fucking childish Sky cunt bollocks.

There are still only 4 humans whose death I would be glad to see and Ashley and Llambias are two of them. (Wise and Thatcher being the other two).

People were dying before the gates were opened.
