Big Geordie

Desperate result today - but par for the course for this season. Am sick of the players giving it the big 'I am' in the papers in the run up to a game, and then not delivering when it matters. The lot of them are a cowardly shower of shite and must carry as much of the blame as Ashley, Wise and Lambias for this season's debacle. Shearer has been flogging a dead horse from day one - and boy does it show. RIP Newcastle United.

If you help one club then you have to help the rest. Lots of non-league clubs have been spending above their means and it only comes back to haunt them, as sad as it is. I hope Newcastle BS manage to get some help from somewhere - would be a real shame to see them go under.

I went on that trip. From my experience of Keith back then, he's a top fella. Has probably been harshly (but rightly so) punished for a moment of madness. Many of us would have perhaps done the same, especially when the agitator got 'personal' (so I am led to believe)

It's time for him and us to move on in the summer. Simple as that.

Am just pleased it's over and that we got the 3 points. It gives us hope, but we've still got lots of work to do. Shearer needs to keep the players focused to Fulham and Villa. Viduka was great tonight - a classic showing of old fashioned centre-forward play. Just wish he'd been fit more often for us. Nolan had his best game so far for us too. Still looks a bit overweight for me though. Sets up the rest of the week nicely, before the nerves jangle again against Fulham on Sat. I'd begun to forget what celebrating a goal was like, nevermind us winning a game! As for Boro - they are gone, IMO.

Whichever flank Jonas is on, we'll have nothing down the other side. Has Martins ruled himself out from starting?

Is that confirmed?

Well done, Whitley.

Good news so far.

No way a draw will be good for either side - it's do or die indeed. Worry is for me that aside from the likes of Bassong, Beye, Harper and Butt - we have a team of cowards. When was the last time this lot actually put a shift in when it was our backs to the wall?

Full Time We've got a chance, but we HAVE to take it.

Jesus - Geovanni into the side netting.

Hull score ......

Pompey miss a pen - Utaka puts it over the bar.

West Brom 3 Wigan 1 Fortune with his 2nd

Hull 0 Stoke 2! Liam Lawrence

Stoke hit the bar....

Hull 0 Stoke 1 Fuller!!!

Oh right - np

WBA 1 Wigan 1 og (possibly)

Fulham 1 Villa 1 Young

WBA 1 Wigan 0 Fortune

A victory for real football tonight, IMO. Refreshing to see something not going Chelsea's way for once. Also, Terry, Ballack and Drogba (apparently) all a disgrace. It's what you come to expect with them though.

Rules are pish, but you can't go changing them at this time. UEFA will have to look at it in the summer.
