They pay the Press Association to look after fixture lists, who in turn pay an internet enforcement company to go signing into places to check up on us.

No. Like I said yesterday, it is because the police won't allow a derby, and the other teams in the league write to the Premier League compilers to say that it is too far to expect their away fans to travel on Boxing day.

It is up to Newcastle United to make a huge public stand over this and pile accusations on the Premier League fixture compilers like Chelsea and Manchester United do. Otherwise we are just going to get the same again and again.

The only worry for me is the first month or so we might get knocked right off our feet if we let morale go, and end up dropping points in our second and fourth matches which are games we should win. Can't really see anywhere with a large group of consecutive unwinnable games. First month is always the best time to play Manchester United. They'll all be a bit rusty, trying to bed in their new stars, and sufferring from post-Euro2008 fatigue.

No links so far.

Fuck sake.

Both look like good players tbf. There can be only one, choose! Turan. Plays higher up the field, and gets stuck in more.

I think as well as a banning, anyone who posts them should get the title "Brainless Buffoon" under their username for the rest of eternity.

All coming clear why so many managers have failed over the years. TEA LADY OUT!

My mate saw Keegan in a Californian hotel reception, asking if he could stay another fortnight.

Link please...

Now you're just being unrealistic. I know. I don't think we'll sell both Given and Harper. We will line up with a goalkeeper, but at the beginning of each match he will punch the referee in the face and intentionally get sent off in order to give other teams a sporting chance. We only need the 10 outfield players. So Volkan? We'd need to get more than Volkan. Give me a few mins, and I'll do the maths, making the assumption that suspensions are for three game long offences, suspensions increase by one game for every red card, and we get knocked out in the first round of both cups. We need nine goalkeepers

Completely missed the point.

Your far too sensible for these shores. How I wanted us to sign Bentley after his first stint at Norwich, but it was the same type of things being said about Guthrie and Larsson now. There is no guarantee these players will become as good as Bentley, but it is well worth taking a flier on a few of these types of players due to their reasonably cheap prices and potential for improvement. I'm all in favour for getting Larsson because with him I have seen the potential. With Guthrie, there isn't one moment from last season I can recall where he made a lasting impression. Have I not been paying attention, or are we advocating just siging ANY young English midfielder with Premiership experience because they might become a world beater? Have you seen much of Bolton from Holland? Because I live in England and I can't particularly say that I've seen enough of them to judge any of their players.

First time I've seen him play. Excellent player.

Do people know how fixtures are compiled by the way? Basically, the PL get lists from the police as to when they don't want games, and lists from clubs on away games they want to avoid on certain dates. This year, there is a possibility that thepolice might request Newcastle play away one weekend in September due to the proximity of the Tour of Britain stage finishing there. Meanwhile, several clubs specifically ask not to play away at Newcastle on Boxing Day and get their own way.

Don't be silly, that's far too much effort. I prefer to scream and shout and stamp my feet like a little girl. Someone will inevitably post the following whatever: West Ham (Win) Manchester United (Lose) Arsenal (Lose) Chelsea (Draw) Blackburn (Win) etc.

Okay guys, I have Like this: Guaranteed a ban.

As I understand it, you could get away with something like "I'm looking forward to playing Blackburn on the opening day, but I can't believe that we are away on Boxing Day again. Why can't Chelsea come to us, they always get their own way with the fixtures?" You just musn't post lists, and you musn't post too many games in one post regardless of how you write it.

Depends on who you draw. I think we've got Odense from Denmark. Or Lisburn from Norn Iron. Yeah, don't worry that you haven't got any defenders with that kind of opposition. From past experience, all you need to kill of those ties are a couple of clinical midfielders/strikers.
