midds

I f****** hate Sunderland. They're too much of a joke to be hatred. I can understand why you don't share the dislike being from York. You support Newcastle, and are as much as a fan as anyone, but the fact that you don't really live with/near or know many/any mackems will mean that there is less of a hatred there. I live in Jarrow, which is near enough split and I absolutely f****** hate them, their supporters (when it comes to football) the club, everything. It's irrational in a way, but it's just present.l I'm surrounded by them and I hate them with a passion you could only imagine.

How has he turned out? Cant say I have seen much of the lad but remember all the hype. Been injured quite a bit recently I think, but he was very very highly thought of a couple of years back iirc. Better than what we have from the (limited) times I've seen him. He has played quite well this season especially since moved into a defensive midfield role. I doubt he would be interested if HSV qualify for the Championsleague though. Who would you liken him to and how much would he cost, in your opinion Wolfy? Hmm, who is he like? Difficult. Maybe a younger version Nicky Butt with a touch of Sammeresque elegance in his sweeper role in front of the back four. HSV paid 8m Euro for him iirc, so I think HSV would try to hold out for something like 8-10m quid. But as I said a lot will depend on where Hamburg is going to finish. But looking at the Bundesliga there are other more realistic possibilities imho. Rolfes from Leverkusen for example. Is he better at CB or DM?

Liverpool Spurs Chelsea Arsenal Man Utd in that order.

Possible to overtake WHam by the end of the season? Dunno... http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=51476.0

West Ham 0-1 Pompey. FT

You didn't expect him to be impartial, did you?

I hope this lot and Chelsea kick seven shades of shit out of each other in the semi.

That'll do. Edit: No it fucking won't!

Pompey one up at West Ham btw. Kranjcar.

Doesn't really change the game though as Baggio said. If Arsenal score they're through.

That's what £26m gets you. Superb finish.

It's vexing me.

Vincent Kompany.

Great header tbf.

FYP.

Arsenal bossing it. Look fitter and sharper.

That's a fucking great goal.

Keep an eye on the Ticket forum too. Might just be a spare kicking about nearer the time.

Aye, that's definitely the next step like...

Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea 2-0

I think someone's banjoed him personally.

Score draw.
