First time someone posted that link, thought it was one of those joke URLs you put up for people to think it's a site... sure enough this one was real!

Don't know about this... never even really heard of that company. This really makes me wonder where's our head at?!

In other news, the score is back in the top corner!

 

I think that's just for the Carling Cup, is it not?

 

Nah, its a permanent return.  Sky have listened to several thousand complaints about it, and reverted to the top corner.

get in

Dyer broke both bones in his lower leg (left one I think they said).

yawzah!

These six come to mind almost straight away:

Newcastle 5-0 ManUnited (96)

Newcastle 4-3 Leicester (97)

Italy 0-0 England (97)

France 0-1 England (97)

Arsenal 1-3 Newcastle (01)

Feyenoord 2-3 Newcastle (02)

Just like that? What has he injured himself again? Thought he was good for at least another season after his come back last season.

He had Smith 17 on the back, personally I stopped putting names on my shirt when I was 11, as I thought I was too old then.

 

The new strip looks fairly average without a name and number.

Yeah, you can't not have anything on the back... just looks terrible(er). So he can be let off here no doubt.

As much as Ramage isn't too good and shouldnt be playing... it made me feel pretty sad for him. Clearly in a lot of pain, and seemed to know he'd injured himself pretty badly.

Fair play to Mido for stopping play straight away too.

^ and holding off Woodgate at arm's length the whole time.

He very rarely wears suits: 

It is known that he prefers casual dress of shirt and chinos or a track suit over a suit, and often carries his essential business tool of a mobile phone in a PLASTIC CARRIER BAG over a brief case.

Haha, that is mega lame though

Also read on the boro rivals board that he had Smith17 on the back of the shirt...

Linky dinky

We're just ahead of them. Not by that much, but quite clearly so

Ok changed my mind... Zog.

We might still grab an absolute screamer against Barnsley!

As much as I love the Zog, would have to be Martins' little bicycle... very very close though.

Not surprised you don't get it. Neither affects ME !

 

What I think is particularly amusing is that if Shepherd had did this, you and others would be having a field day, and saying how it is so embarrasing for YOU, poor dears.

Well of course, and rightly so. You can't apply a rule of thumb here, there are precedants, there are reputations. Had Shepherd done that at some point during the last two years out of the blue it would have been cringeworthy and a pretty pathetic/desperate attempt to grab some kind of sympathy from the fans. He would have been rightly slated for it.

Ashley, a new and unknown figure to a lot of us,  doing this today after a week of speculation that he might just be here for the quick buck, is a master stroke of PR.

It's not double standards at all. Quite simple really even.

wonder wos that Teves goal?His deflection changed the direction a bit.hopefully hwe will get it,on one of my dream teams!

Stop saying "wos".

Get in

N'Zogbia did one thing that Miulner didn't do today and that was concede a goal. Zog stood their in the middle of the penalty area for the 2nd goal with nobody aorund him and didn't bother to close down the ball.

 

wow... any excuse to have a go... Not only would that be pretty unfair given the nature of the second goal, but it's also completely untrue

 

ridiculous

Have you seen the goal? Watch where Zog is standing, he is marking nobody and makes no attempt to to close down the people on the edge of the box.

Fucking hell... yes i've watched the goal several times.

He had just ran out as the ball was first cleared to not play anyone onside, then stood his ground, yes, as the left back. What was he supposed to do? dive 15 feet accross the penalty box to block Arca's shot?

If we win convincingly, yes. Not necessarily a thrashing but if we play very well.

On repeated viewing that Zoggy goal gets better and better. Fucking class. We need him back on the wing.

I really hope the Zoggy bashers are watching him play now. His attitude on the pitch is exemplary. He's been playing out of his ideal position yet he tracks back, puts in the challenges, plays for the team... and has grabbed a couple of goals. He's also been the first one to go celebrate with the rest of the players when others have scored.

The situation with him last season was unreal, and the treatment from a clueless manager likewise.

martins coming off, ridiculous that viduka is still on.

 

agreed.

Been at the centre of good moves, holding it up bringing people into the game and now scoring a goal. Doing his job properly all game.

How hindsight-tastic is that? He gave the ball away almost every time he had it. He had been shit up until the goal. Not complaining though....

Oh for fuck sake this isn't funny at all. Just when you think justice has been done after their fucking offside goal...

This is textbook, conceding twice just after we score.

Taylor didn't smash anyone... Aliadiere just bounced off him and looks down for the count

Owen coming on.. For Viduka I hope..

Hopefully... as much as I'd like Viduka to stick it to them in the last minute, he has been terrible.
