Potent left side aye but what about the right?!?!?! You've got Beye busting a gut to try and get forward as much as possible but with no-one really ahead of him. Personally think Milner will shine even more on the right with Beye and Charlie on the left whilst also helping Enrique out.

....bets on big Sam suspended apparently, well in Billy Hills anyway!!!

Have mine on tomorrow like.....bsatard freezing!!!!!

Where are you hearing that? Apparently sent home from training ill according to my mate!

Martins out apparently??!?!

Out with some mates for a couple of mate's 30th birthday around the station...either gonna be a helluva birthday celebration, or shite!!!

Personally think it's got something to do with the way these types of teams play ie. take the pressure and hump it forward, stopping us from playing. Think it'll be a totally different ball game when we go to the likes of Portsmouth etc. who will also play football. Still no excuse really though, got to beating the likes of Reading if we want to progress!

Mint, means I can watch the Fulham game in town, get pissed then go and see Maximo Park at the Arena!!!! Get an extra day to recover from my works Xmas do before the Derby game and now it won't be a hassle getting to town on New Years day. Happy days for me

Redheugh Bridge is closed apparently, just a warning for those planning on driving to the game!

1-1 draw Suprised Given's back in?!?!? BS was only saying during the week that Harper had done well enough to keep his place!!! Strange one....

Tickets booked, should be a good afternoon...and all for charidee!!!! Don't get the Shearer comment above by the way, as if he's ever really gone. He was made ambassador for the club.......

I've got a sneaky feeling there's a third in the pipeline somewhere.......

If Young's got in why hasn't Milner? Been playing at the top for a good while now whereas Young impressed at Watford but then struggled a bit at Villa. Should be given a chance IMO. As for Bentley, should never play for England again in my eyes.......

Fucking love it if Deco came!!!!!!

Permanent pundit role?!?!? Better fucking not be, otherwise it's getting cancelled!!! Luckily his site is banned at work, just aswell cos I'd be getting sacked for abuse and misuse. God I absolutely depise this wanker....possibly more than that Feltz woman!!!!

He probably wouldn't get in the starting 11...but his experience would be sorely missed IMO. And still by miles the best crosser of the ball we have, or have had for god knows for how long!!!

Cheers my man, good stuff!!!

I'm in...still pending though, need accepting!! Sparks, are you them man to do this?

Great move from him and us!!! Agree we should include a recall clause though.....

Apparently we've signed him, according to SSN!?!?!? I'm at work so can't check....

He was their captain during that time so it seems unlikely. I don't know much about him but he does have a reputation for being injury prone. Last season can be discounted if he did indeed miss all those games because of a fallout with Houllier. Still, it doesn't make for good reading. I'm happy enough to see a defender coming in, moreso someone of his calibre, but worried about his injuries which will surely not get better with age. It's ok man, with our crack medical outfit he'll be fighting fit before you know it.......

What's in my wallet? Fuck all yet, still hasn't arrived! Has everyone else got theirs now? I changed me address when purchasing it so it's more than likely been totally balls'ed up!!

Hijack hijack hijack!!!! Saw him in the under 21s aswell, looks solid!!!!

It is quite nice...apart from the shitty red and white stripes!!!

Usually don't bother with a Mover ticket cos I've always just used me bus card however now I'm living in Gateshead it might be worth getting it just for the Metro alone, save trying to get over the bloody bridge on Saturday dinnertime!!s
