I thought you two are meant to be best mates? Or has this happenned: http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=43131.0 ?

I really disagree with the statement that you are 'NUFC's finest supporter.' NUFC's finest supporter wouldn't need to spend so much time trying to discredit others support.

Lets not get carried away just yet! 1 swallow n all that, although encouraging to hear he got a couple. What was the performance like> I'm just stirring, that article came up on the BBC's match report. Typical Luque really, although he was much better off the ball in the attacking third, give him space and he'll always have the attacking technique.

Played up front. Had a properly numbered outfield shirt, the lot. Excellent! Did he enjoy it? Surly SSNs will show that! It was a perfect layoff by Harper that led to Milner scoring the fourth.

GOAL! HARPER!!!!!! (Not)

Yeah looks like he can play the ball around. Bit worried about the high line we have been playing but its early days. I'm just worried about Ramage and Carr.

must be coz of the austrian camp ;-) Of course.

I guess the World coverage is just an advert for Setanta.

Cant say much from pre season, but this is our best pre season performance I've seen in a long time.

Working fine for me. " Yeah, its back for now, but was down earlier for 10-15 mins. Will be interesting to see if they cope.

The Official Site has crashed. I am of the opinion that no-one will get to see the match on World tonight.

He has a fully season's worth of it iirc. 2 seasons iirc.

Yes, back on topic, the better the taker, the lower the likelihood that they'll be on the pitch in my opinion.

Middlesbrough Aston Villa Leverkusen Belgrade Just four off the top of my head that he's saved against. 4 in ten years is crap though.

I'm kind of with GeJon here, Lee Clark wanted to be a coach since his early twenties, while other players were wasting their millions in the afternoons, Lee Clark was voluntarily helping to coach the kids, and trying to pick up tips from other coaches. Given the fact that he has also captained a Premiership club, hence assummed leadership qualities, he was certainly a better candidate than Gareth Southgate and Chris Coleman than when they started their non-player careers. However, I am disappointed with some of the comments regarding other players that have been attributed to him when off the training pitch, so I'm happy to see him go.

Thats really not why the top clubs play teams in Asia. Money as well of course, but they get less injuries, and are still well equiped for the start of the season.

To be honest, that is why the top clubs play the more technical and less aggressive teams from Asia, Scandinavia and the US, and not Carlisle United during pre-season.

It was the general consensus at the end of last season that single threads were the way forward. It certainly worked ok for the Hartlepool game. Opinions may have changed now, but I suggest we stick to single threads for pre-season at least, give it a try and all that.

I suspect we'll be trying lots of different combinations.

By the way, we aren't doing pre-match, during-match, post-match threads this season, as people didn't like the fact that they couldn't reply to something for the mere reason that the game had kicked off or ended. So this thread is a thread for the whole game.

I'd really like to see another club approach West Ham, and go "Carlos Tevez. 10 million pounds. Yes or No?"

Its just that this rumour isn't worth the time of day.

Nope, not a patch, but the shell would get it. Like I said, not the best pic, type in Ursula Andress, and you only get pictures from THAT beach scene in Dr. No.
