Don't think anyone on here, including you, expected us to bounce back so emphatically just before the start of the season.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2929610/Avrams-got-Prem-job-offer.html#ixzz0kynLFDQD Hammers? It's the Sun mind, so it's probably bobbins anyway.

Ah yeah - knew we needed 4 points to clinch it, thought our goal difference was so commanding that I didn't consider that. Guess we could take a 10-0 hammering in our loss to Plymouth or something and do it that way

Think if West Brom win all theirs they'd beat us by a point.

The front view looks like a nightmarishly mis-shapen nun with her face blacked out and enormous saggy tits, was that a look you were aiming for?

Is that specially tailored for Beefy and Kevin Nolan?

I'd think that pressure would vanish if we didn't lose to Ipswich though, what with it being our last home game of the season.

Off the top of my head, to be undefeated at home and not win the title we'd either have to only draw against Ipswich and then only get an average of one point or less from each of our remaining three away fixtures, or beat Ipswich and then lose to Plymouth, QPR and Reading (With West Brom winning every game) Even if you'd prefer the unbeaten home record to a title, both scenarios where that's the only one of the two we end up with result in Newcastle having a fucking appaling end to the season, so I can't see why anyone would choose it.

Regularly make up bullshit about us wrecking stuff as well, some guy started a thread when we got promoted saying that the metros were off and he'd heard it was because we were rioting, when it was actually because some old fella fell under a metro.

Rooney

Will it give our players speed of the pumah?

Really sets women back in the sport when one of the few female journalists writing on football for a major newspaper comes out with such utter clueless shit on a weekly basis, someone who wasn't familiar with her work could quite naively shrug that off as being a pre-menstrual response to reading unkind words on an internet forum, if they didn't know she was a fucking moron for the entirety of each and every calendar month. That rambling dirge would be a waste of a post on a forum or personal blog, never mind a newspaper column.

So we've got Louise slagging off Hughton, implying we're deluded and think he's going to be great in the Premier League when he'll be out of his depth and we've got this guy saying we're ungrateful and won't give him time in the top flight. And that also makes us deluded, somehow.

Guess as a Wolves fan you have to snipe at whatever teams you can, seeing as how none of your nearby clubs really see you as their traditional rivals. Guess they're much like Boro in that respect. Fairly certain WBA - Wolves have a healthy rivalry. More recently they do because they've been duking it out at the same kind of level, but I thought Villa were the main target of West Brom's vitriol long term.

NEWCASTLE FANS TO RESUME INEXPLICABLE SELF-CONFIDENCE http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2618&Itemid=26 Bit like the football equivalent of a TV dinner or mother in law gag, don't think I've seen Newcastle fans be confident of anything but disappointment and failure since the mid-90s.

Loads of coppers and stewards started massing in the corners before the final whistle, and then those two guys ran on and no-one did a fucking thing. They were milling around with the players and the stewards were just looking at them. One of them tried to go down the tunnel with the players and it was only then a copper stuck his arm out and stopped him.

Climbed over the hordings while warming up at half time to shake the hand of some pissed bald bloke in the east stand who was calling him over.

At the ground, great atmosphere and the same 'proud to be a geordie, we'll support you ever more' banner that was just behind me at villa away last season was unravelled in the leazes corner, till it was taken down by some stewards. Almost brought a tear to my eye.

Thing is, last season we had a team of high value players who thought they were above a relegation scrap, didn't want to play for us, were disorgansed and disinterested. Our relegation rivals were generally teams of cheap players who were motivated, organised and were pleased to be playing for that squad and excited to be playing in big stadiums, against big teams in a top league, players to whom recognition of the manager and the fans actually meant something. Whether we struggle in this league or not, I'm looking forward to being in the latter camp for a change and I fancy our chances against jaded, long term premier underachievers with costly wasters like elmander moping around the pitch.

Their little teeny boppers with painted faces were having a right slanging match with some young whitley lasses in the seahorse at half time as well

Anyone see the barwell fan celebrating their disallowed goal like mad even after the free kick for offside had been taken?

Enjoyed my Bovril, watered down by the rain

Might take the glasses to the Bay match after and watch that in 3D too.

Deed in the monkey, glasses are a quid and you get to keep em. Looks alright, they're showing highlights of various sports and that. Anything that comes too far out the screen is in double vision for me though cos one of my eyes is a bit shit, had the same problem with avatar although the longer I watched it the less it happened.
