Nolan tries a "little bender" as the radio put it, disallowed for offside.

Thought this Sheard bloke was a seriously dodgy character and most of his bids for things are Walter Mitty style self delusions?

When we beat Man U 5-0 they released a special edition with a pull out and us on both the front and back pages, plus a 5-0 t-shirt offer. Like most of the media, they built us up when we were the underdog "entertainers" and now they're loving watching us fall back down again.

I'm an enormous hypocrite because I always talk about how disgraceful hooliganism is, but if I ever hear there's been a fight between us lot and someone else I always hope we won.

Even with everything up in the air, we should at least be sorting out getting Lovenkrands back, bearing in mind he actually wants to come here and he'll be cheap. I don't think any future owner or manager would be pissed off with having him in the squad.

We're not fucking organised enough to actually buy players. Selling players is easy because the other club does all the hard work. You know, stuff like deciding how much we're going to sell the player for.

Mayeb he's the mackem Thommo and his ITK info turned out to be wrong?

It's monday!

Lived in Stoke for a few years and they have a larger than usual contingent of apes, who also seem to love smashing shit up following England matches. Anyway, here's the thread about this incident on their message board. http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Potters&action=display&thread=90941 Birmingham and Stoke have a history of this kind of thing - there was some of the worst violence of the 90s when they met at St Andrews in 92 and a Birmingham fan lost an eye after being attacked by the Stoke mob a while back if I remember correctly and there's been tit-for-tat revenge attacks each time they've met since (and indeed there's talk of "revenge" when they play over Christmas on that Stoke board)

Mackem attendance yesterday - 37,106

If we had a terrible start to the season Ashley would be more likely to sell. Does that help?

Hooray! Ashley must be delighted, he's sold all those useless players that were stopping us from winning games and he can get us back in the premier league without even needing to hire a manager or buy any players.

Owen's already dropped in value in the official fantasy league

Are Palace any good? I'm so ignorant about this league

The only bad thing about the Burnley result is having to watch Man U fans acting like martyrs on facebook, telling each other to "Keep the faith" and "Keep the red flag flying." Poor buggers, ey, must be a hard life following Man U

I think people are still psycologically affected from when we sat around laughing at all this media bollocks about Keegan being unhappy, Ashley not looking at the books properly before buying or wanting to sell up, Wise meddling in transfers etc etc.

Always seems to end up the wrong side of strikers, always seems to commit himself, fail to win the ball and have to run back with no chance of catching them, hoping that they fuck up their one on one or someone else gets to them. That said, we aren't organised enough to actually make a signing and replace him if he goes,.

Do we even have enough kids to get 11 people on the field and a full bench if we lose another three players, on top of the 10 already out the door, out of a squad that was too small last season? I'm struggling to think of anyone we have available who didn't feature on the pitch or bench on Wednesday. Barton and Butt both didn't feature on Wednesday Well, guess if Butt gets fit and Barton can go a game without getting banned we only have to magic one kid up. Be interesting to see who plays in Newcastle Reserves matches this season when we're having to play our 15 and 16 year olds in the first team. Toddlers? Sperm?

Noticed that fucking knacker Monty and his slag (Millie? Myria?) were fannying on at half time on Wednesday. Hadn't seem them for a while. Hoped they'd been taken off the wage bill. That or got caught in an old six-pack holder.

The results so far could turn out the be the worst start to the season we could have had, if it's given Ashley an inflated idea of our chances of promotion and therefore an inflated idea of what the club's worth.

I've not seen anything to indicate that he's not that stupid. Our good start to the season's probably made him think we're going to walk this league with no need for things like players or a manager and he would be stupid to sell now and let someone else cash in come the start of the next premier league season.

Never really listened to this, at the moment some cow is on whining that she didn't get an anniversary card. What the fuck has this got to do with sport?
