Flak off Roeder.

After Souness I'd have been disappointed with him, at the moment I'd bite his hand off, savouring every big sausage-like finger.

Surely the top clubs will be happier being a big fish in a smaller pond. It's all very well being top of a league when you pick up the majority of your points playing teams like Bolton, Villa and Watford but it's easy to end up languishing when you're playing top quality clubs week in, week out. Same reason I can't see why rangers and celtic would like to become a mediocre premiership team rather than the big boys of scotland.

When he rolls around on the floor after he misses, is he hoping for a penalty or having a tantrum btw?

When he's not scoring mint goals he looks shite.

"Todays attendance is 52,004. Newcastle United thanks you for your continuing support. At least you've got your health. Worse things happen at sea." Problem you've got with that is that he works for match of the day and gets to see the tapes of our squad.

Completely unsurprised. First half was so bad they didn't even have the obligatory added minute for the first time for as long as I can remember.

Here's the article: http://news.independent.co.uk/media/article2407996.ece

One of the broadsheets today reckons the FA move was more about the MOTD team's criticism of recent England performances than anything else.

Possibly trying to justify snubbing Sol Campbell.

Looks alright to me, better than the current one which is awful. A lot depends on the quality of the material, if it's decent then I might get it, if it feels like a taiwan knock off like our current one I'll skip.

Not really surprising Freddy would be up for dodgy dealings like this, his closest associates are used car salesmen and the like.

I thought this was going to be about Scott Parker getting 2 bonus points for the Charlton match.

Shepherd or Abramovich?

I'll renew. Gets me out the house and it's an excuse to start drinking at 12 on a saturday. Although I know at least one of my pre-match drinking companions is probably not going to renew.

Only time I can remember is when we did the old applaud onto the pitch then jokingly boo first time he got the ball. Always got a great reception from us and usually applauded the fans at the end.

Glen's very easy to please like.

Just back from watching it in the pub. We gave them 3 or 4 chances that a better team would have put away, martins missed a sitter and all his shots were wank. Exactly as predicted they were shit, we were spineless. As spineless as the appointment of Roeder, in fact.

I heard he was actually 14

Hooray, a shepherd thread! http://www.mikeystmnt.com/images/news/pr-tmnt45.jpg

I don't think it's booze, sounds more like hormones.

It was another game in Europe, makes us a great team, much better than the rest of the league. If we have to trawl through Intertoto next season that's even more games to win in europe which will make us even acer and the most sucessfulest European team in the world, much better than clubs that have won meaningless tat like trophies. Well done Fred!

Does this thread remind anyone else of gg-chat?

He'd probably miss an all.

Sounds like a visiting fan edited it to take the piss, running joke amongst other supporters about how high up we put them - ie the Arsenal match report about walking up the stairs for hours, passing skeletons in various premier league shirts along the way.
