  1. Newcastle 0 - 4 Fulham Own goal and sending off for Barton, Hangeland hat trick. Harry-Norway to explode in an attack of exclamation marks with Scandinavia being completely flattened by the blast.
  2. http://www.gitsiegirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/03/lost%20hurley%20sun%20candy%20bar.jpg Would be an improvement on Dawson as well tbh. Perhaps that is what Mourinho meant when he said that Spurs park their bus in front of the goal.
  3. Beaten to that gag tbh.

    injuries

    Probably something to do with the fact that once the season started, Allardyce apparently did no high-intensity training, and by the time Keegan took over, half our players were knackered by half time due to lack of regular conditioning. Less high intensity training = less injuries in general.
  5. I think it's basically a number that the referee writes into his match report. Its not perfect, the lowest average rating is 6.9, all very subjective, but its fair to say that the team's ranking in this category generally reflects the reality. So it's a load of fucking shite then? I never said it wasn't I was just trying to explain why some dirty teams are higher than they should be.

  7. Chelsea: Red and Yellow Cards = 20th Positive Play = 4th Respect Towards Opponents = 20th Respect towards referees = 20th Behaviour of Officials = 18th That pretty much shows how our bad play has put us below a team with truly dreadful discipline.
  8. Newcastle: Red and Yellow Cards = 13th Positive Play = 18th Respect Towards Opponents = 14th Respect towards referees = 9th Behaviour of Officials = 10th So basically we a fairly average in terms of the behaviour of players and officials, but Allardyce created an ugly team that has put us way down the table.
  9. Positive play means that you are looking to win by playing good football rather than by kicking pieces out of your opponent.
  10. Nah, we'd be 13th. We are 18th when it comes down to positive play which correlates to the quality of football played. Eh? I thought this was the kicking people list. The tables are made up as follows: R/Y = Red & Yellow Cards - Maximum 10 pts per Match (Red 3pts, Yellow 1pt) P/P = Positive Play - Maximum 10 pts per Match R/O = Respect Towards Opponent - Maximum 7 pts per Match R/R = Respect Towards Referee - Maximum 7 pts per Match B/O = Behaviour of Officials - Maximum 6 pts per Match
  11. Nah, we'd be 13th. We are 18th when it comes down to positive play which correlates to the quality of football played.
  12. We are well down due to lack of positive play, while the likes of Manchester United are at the top because of it. Pretty much represents the fact that you make your own luck by playing good football.

    Woo! Ramage to QPR

    I wouldn't have thought so, he's 24 now. i think if they're 24 or under, then the club they're moving from is entitled to compensation. surely compensation would be based on value and ability though? That is too arbitrary. They'll look at first team appearances, current salary, and future salary offers from both parties.
  14. Carrick not even in the 30 this time.
  15. Not to mention the fact that Martins frequently goes AWOL travelling between Newcastle and Nigeria.

    Woo! Ramage to QPR

    Think Ramage is too young for them to have for nothing.

    Oba...Obafem

    I could name several. Let me start with Habib Beye vs Birmingham (h)

    Oba...Obafem

    Nicky Butt vs Birmingham
  19. Whats the story regarding this Max Johnson bloke? Isn't Krul, Forster and Soderberg enough in terms of reserve keepers?
  20. By the way, on the subject of England, did anyone else think that against Switzerland, rather than playing 4-3-3 as suggested by the British analysts, we played the Christmas Tree formation that you see at some Italian clubs, ie: Rooney Cole Bentley Barry Gerrard Jenas Bridge Upson Ferdinand Brown James
  21. Yeah, a statement of patheticness. Yes, he would make an awful strike partner for your client, Mr. Martins.
