Would be awesome to go and see Exeter and Southampton at Wembley, but with exams looming, i may as well just settle with Exeter.

Its 105 minutes into the game, penalties look inevitable.

It was like this for the Oxford vs Exeter game, some people actually went home thinking that Exeter had won on away goals, only it actually went to penalties.

This man has dictated the direction of his whole management career. Never has he lost control of things. You cant say this for too many managers, Ferguson and Wenger being the obvious exceptions.

Said where? On several articles on .cock

Summary of what he's said so far: He wants Owen to stay, and will be talking to him in private shortly. He doesn't want good players, he wants players with the right mentality. Gary Speed is his best ever signing. Shepherd persuaded him to come here. Long ball comments are a myth. He doesn't want the England job.

Bowyer and Shola IIRC. Checked .com, he has one FA Cup goal for us.

I believe Babayaro scored for us against Yeading in the FA Cup.

Wouldn't be suprised if we got Gudjohnsen to be honest.

He never scored for us, don't remember him scoring against us either though.

ah, didn't see that part.

? He scored against us for Fulham

Speed has outperformed all midfielders/left backs at the club this season, so I for one would not be unhappy to see him involved in some playing capacity, although not as captain, merely forthe fact that he shouldn't be playing in every game.

Mark Lawrenson - hates our guts because we sacked him, and is only capable of wheeling out the same old cliches about us.

My thoughts exactly. Everyone is promoting from within these days, and it hardly ever works. I think all these coaching badge rules are currently destroying British management. All the successful, strong and able managers are in jobs, and the other clubs cant find an appropriate manager anywhere.

To be fair, a man has got to make a living. It was obvious that he sought a career in Newcastle sports journalism, and to get half far in that field, you have to follow a certain line.

Only person on this board who would ever come out with 'Roeder has been obsessed with upper body strength' Maybe because I'm insightful. He's been banging on about upper body strength all year: "Bernard isn't heavy enough" "We've got Michael working on the weights." "Shola's spent a lot of time in the weights room, so should come back even stronger" "Bramble's injury allows us to givehim time on the weights" Have a look at all our players 12 months ago. Now compare it to today - they'll be heavier, and have larger frames.

Many problems with a manager go away as soon as he departs. However, all managers leave a long term legacy that will cause problems for the next guy. For instance, Roeder has been obsessed with upper body strength. When Bernard signed, Roeder had him on the weights. Owen, Bramble, Taylor, Ameobi, Pattison and N'Zogbia have clearly been on this regime as well, and it is a worry that players will have lost some of the speed and agility that was part and parcel of their game, as Roeder unsuccessfully tried to mould the team into a stronger unit. What else has Roeder left behind that we wont be able to fix overnight?

Someone just added an option as I was voting, so I voted for lots instead of few even though I intended to vote for few. Please dont kill me Dave.

FFS one of his team mates ran into him, and he got dazed. Taken off as a precaution, yet he is just fine. He could play next weekend if he was needed.

"A Newcastle spokesman has confirmed that it is just mild concussion" - Football365.com

Mihir Bose for the BBC said that West Ham were not deducted points because at the time Chelsea didn't want West Ham playing Manchester United on the last game of the season with nothing left to play for.
