Big Geordie

Ref letting the mackems getting away with a couple of bad tackles. We are doing OK so far - has to be said.

How did Shola miss that? Helluva ball from Barton though.

*is feeling very nervous* - Pint of Stella to compensate though.

This, he has to have the biggest balls on the park. Agreed. We need a captain's performance from him today.

We've got the more experienced midfield, but we lack pace. That could be the real problem - Stevenage managed to run through Smith and Nolan, so I'm not confident today.

Is that team confirmed?

Reet - am sorted to 'watch'. Time for a shower, etc then will settle down in time for KO. Gonna grab a can of Stella to watch the proceedings with. Howay the lads!

Sad news indeed. RIP.

Micky Quinn - tremendous finishing. Watched from 'The Scoreboard'.

where ? Ashley's pocket. He wants the money back that he has loaned to the club - how else is he going to get it back? other than assumption and wild accusations has that ever been proven? The money he has loaned the club?

The problem is that if Carroll is sold, the club won't see any of the cash. We all know where it will be going....

If there is any truth in that, then Ashley will bite Spurs' hands off if they come with 'daft' money. Nailed on, unfortunately.

If anyone knows anywhere in town where it may be possible to view proceedings on Sunday, please send me a PM. Cheers in advance.

I'd laugh my tits off if we beat them this time. Pressure is on them big time (self induced), I feel. May well work in our favour. Just hope we are up for it. Also @ Sunderland v Newcastle above.

Got to be careful though, Madras. We've been down that road before (offering top dollar) and it got us nothing.

This. Can't understand that he wants to take his time, but if he's not desperate to come here then it's time to switch to another target.

Just found it - the kid pulling himself off in the corner is quality. Comedy gold indeed. Looks to be about 5 or 6 of them there.

I have - can't find it though. Links I've found don't exist anymore.

I fancy a look for the comedy value. PM please. Didn't they all get booted out of Sunderland because of this?

I'd hope the club goes after The Independent after that for an apology and any other papers who accuse us.

One of the major problems with today is that we had two right footed players down the left. Sheer folly by Pardew to do that, IMO.

It should be overturned, but it won't be.

Another one; http://yfrog.com/n27jxz Pardew saying that 4 or 5 players running on empty - would this include the likes of Routledge, Smith, Best, Lovenkrands and Perch that haven't even played all of the games in the last two weeks? What an excuse!

I guess all of those fans who weren't bothered about today will now be happy? A disgraceful and gutless performance from players who clearly felt the same way as those who believe the FA Cup means nothing. As shameful a performance I've seen in my nigh on 30 years of following this club. Some of those fringe players should never wear the shirt again- completely unacceptable. Also the manager needs to take a good look at himself - I mean starting with two right footed players down our left hand side?!
