Big Geordie

Might have been Micky Horswill (ex mackem)

I'm happy enough with the point. First half was rubbish - the lack of creativity when playing 3 strikers was startling. 2nd half was better and we deserved the draw. However, how Barton remained on the pitch for the whole 90 was perplexing. He was shocking and needs to be replaced by N'Zogbia for Saturday's game. Also pleased to see that KK has dropped Smith and Duff. Just need to let Barton get on with his business off the field instead of us carrying a passenger on it when he plays. 3 points against Fulham are a must.

Absolutely spot on article. I think if Man City come knocking in the summer, we should let him go. Then again, we may have to if the worst happens....

Ah - the Mail doing their best to rock the boat. No actual quotes as well I see. Wankers.

Seconded. No contest.

I watched this on TV with my dad. Would have loved to have gone, but I went to the Juve game in Torino instead some months earlier. Has anyone got this on dvd? Would love to watch it again.

Beyond caring. I've not seen enough to suggest we are heading anywhere other than the Championship.

I second that.

I decided to jack in last summer - I'm pleased I did on reflection.

I don't think he'd leave and sell up. What will happen is there'll be a fire-sale in the summer with many of the big earners being moved on. Question is though, who will take them?

It'll be like rats deserting a sinking ship if we go down. And we'll have to move some of them on because we won't be able to afford their wages in the Championship. There will be a huge fire-sale in the summer.

I wouldn't expect too much from the Birmingham game, lads. These players have shown they are gutless. They don't give a flying f***.

I wonder if Mike Ashley is sitting in with the fans today?

Martins hits the bar with a great effort apparently.

I wonder how long it will be, before the fans begin to turn on the players. Can't be long now.

Oh well - game over.

Geremi coming on for Milly, it seems.

I'll 2nd that. We are playing with 10men, if we are playing Duff just behind Owen.

Charlie wastes a free-kick in a good position.

Sounds like we are under the cosh a bit at the moment. Radio Newcastle reckon we are sitting too deep, which is of course inviting pressure.

Time for the weekly humiliation.

The more he keeps his place in the side without scoring, lends credence to the rumour about him having to play if fit.

Smith in the side again - wonderful.

Yup - was gonna say Cowans and Rideout went to Bari. I can also remember Ray Wilkins and Mark Hateley at AC Milan, and Trevor Francis at Sampdoria.

Shaun Murray - now there is a name I haven't heard for a long time! He was tipped for greatness as a schoolkid (on Spurs' books), but I think he only got as far as playing for Bradford City old 2nd division.
