Absolutely couldn't give a toss. Never seemed like a Newcastle player to me. Rarely played, and when he did rarely had an impact.

Aye, the St. James' sniper will have to go into full-time retirement. Nah! Your boy will still be here!

And European players. Strange... Not really considering the hassle of losing them all when the ANC comes around every two years. Or was that your attempt at sarcasm? Sorry, just didn't understand the point you were making. It is a consideration, the ANC.

And European players. Strange...

I just think they're really nice jerseys. Just my taste, I suppose. Does nothing for me. The Kappa shirts look like they should be on a cyclist or something.

Nice.

How is that 'class'?

He's got some balls to wear lime green boots and purple socks, like.

Other than being a bit boring, I thought there were some positives. Our passing and ball retention was much better than it has been of late. Some of the once-touch stuff between Gerrard, Rooney, etc. was excellent.

Tbh, that's what you said about 30 years ago.

Lanky, man, get out of the football forum.

This ref's mad.

If you squint, they look a bit like Scotland.

Just what I was thinking. If this had been against Scotland it'd actually be some kind of event.

Updated to include a shite ball from wide in to Gerrard Wasn't that bad a ball, tbf.

That's what I was wondering. Best he had to say about him was that he had a lovely name.

That fucking Star Spangled Banner was ludicrous.

I'll have the telly on, but it'll be a shitfest of massive proportions.

Probably, but I'm not sure if he's a better leader. Say what you like, but on the pitch John Terry has been a terrific leader, even if you despise his antics.

I thought he made several good points to be honest. Especially the comparison with Germany. Remember when Ballack got booked in the World Cup semi-final which meant he would miss the final? His response was to go and score the winner that got his team through. He didn't cry like a woman, knowing the camera's would be on him and the commentator's flapping over the "despair" he must have been feeling, his number one goal was to make sure his country progressed, rather than give a "look at me, I'm devastated" performance for the cameras. I'm sorry, but Ballack is one of the last players I'd hold up as a shining example. He's a petulant, egotistical fucker whose team-mates all hate.

Utter bullshit and hypocrisy, imo. Gazza became a legend on the basis of a few tears. We complain when players look like they're going through the motions and don't give a shit, yet we bitch when Terry blubs over what is the most painful and disappointing incident of his career.

We should spend the money on a time machine, then go back to 2005 and kidnap him. Or buy him and hope he's just been really unlucky the past few years.

A fit Dean Ashton would significantly improve our team, imo.

Think he's a very good player, but spending money on him is too risky, tbh. I voted under £5m, but really I mean under £4m.

It does sound like there will be a small capacity increase as they are also apparently going to use seats behind the dugouts that aren't being used at the moment.
