How many do you think you need to push on?

Nah. I was too het up and upset, to be honest. I can't stand the sight of Steve Bruce doing well. Valencia. He's some player. As is Palacios. No wonder Taggart wants them. I've got a ticket for West Ham away next week. I'm going to have sleepless nights this week, that match will define our season. We could finish 9th or we could finish 5th (well, depending on Everton's result tomorrow). Incidentally, watching Barry today reminded me that he's had at best half a season. Liverpool can have him for 15m. Or we'll take Carson plus 20 million. Still been a good season though all things considered surely?

To score 20 League goals in a season is a cracking achievement. To do it for 13 seasons off the belt to get up to 260 won't be equalled for decades imo.

How does the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow sound? For the title you turnip!!

Aye, all applauding so politely when McBride scored. Ra ra ra.

Nah i think this way the more attacking team gets rewarded, harsh, but beneficial to the quality of football! Well that's the other side of it of course. Just seems harsh on the team that misses out. 38 games.....9 months and you finish dead level, yet still lose. Never mind!

There's a chance that the title could be decided on goal difference this season. I know it's not the rules and I'm not expecting it to happen.....but I'd love to see the top 2 play each other on neutral ground in a decider if they finished level.

I know you are, but what am I? Fucks sake.

Right, who's going to organise the 'North-East Top Dogs 2008' T-shirts then?

I remember when Souness had the Ibrox pitch narrowed by about 5 yards years ago. He was worried about a certain winger so he took the field in to it's minimum width and squeezed him out of the game. Forget who it was though...

Got a feeling Spurs will have a real go at top 4 next season. They've got the manager and the beginnings of a good squad. The signing of Modric is a signal of intent and they'll do well next year. They're still short defensively but I think they'll tighten up whilst still being a threat up front. If we finish above them I'll be well happy.

It is. The thread is all about how people think NUFC will do next season and who may be our rivals next season. We're extremely lucky to have a few fans of other teams who give us their opinions about the same matter.

Ive been called thAT BEFORE, LOL answer, nope. vic must have been one of the few other optimists on here

I strongly suspect Fergie is trying to stir a little shit of his own after the warm-down/scuffle thing. It's fucking pathetic tbh.

He's now in the book.

Wouldn't mind seeing a predominantly red away shirt tbh.

FYP. ? the

Sorry got carried away.

Man Utd v Chelsea. Thoughts and predictions please gentlemen.

It'll be interesting to see if the press blame Benitez for taking Torres off. Bizarre decision unless he was carrying an injury. Wonder if they mention the fact that half of the scousers had cleared off before Babel scored...

Get the fuck in! Have that you scouse cunts.

I SAID BEFORE THIS SEASON! Are you thick as fuk or blind or a bit of both? FFS man. Chill man. Does anyone else remember the two periods under Gullit & SBR? He was terrible. But a lot of people were forgiven due to not expecting much and the fact he's a local lad and deserved his chance, the exact same reason SBR gave him that extended chance at Given's expense. Fuking dicks banging on about Alonso's goal FFS like thats the only time he's ever done fuk all wrong, honestly man. Makes nearly as many mistakes as Steven Taylor...

Leave it as it is. If English players are good enough, they'll come through and compete at the highest level.

When this rumour first surfaced a few weeks ago there was paper talk of a bid of £500k. I'd hold out for £550k.
