really ? Yes. I've been through this a few times on this very board. I honestly don't think he was trying to kick him in the head.

Considering no one's a guaranteed starter, it's difficult to pick.

I don't think the Shearer one is as bad as people make out. I don't think it was deliberate at all, tbh.

Pub went mental. Then these twats came in wearing sombreros and fancy dress. One of them stands right in the way of the TV so I shouted, jokingly, like 'Oi! Take your bloody sombrero off!' then these radgees next to me started going 'You heard him. Fuck off, you wankers. Go on, fuck off.' They legged it pretty sharpish.

Bit nervous now. Heading off to the Bay to sink some pints of relaxant in a bit. Howay, the lads!

little black rubbery things on the pitch? instead of sand etc... Aye.

The stuff they've got in the Soccerdome is called Field Turf. Don't know if that's the same stuff Kev's on about. It's really good. Feel like a total tramp when I play on other crappy pitches now.

My mackem pal reckons I'm arrogant when it comes to NUFC, but he just doesn't realise that it's just that Sunderland are shite.

What about the 24-hour wankathon?

If you're sat with their rabble and its not a sell out best place is to find an empty section where you can sit on the end of a row and away from as many of the smelly inbreds as possible. i wish i could mate...its sold out! i wanted to sit anywhere but next to toon fans and in that corner! my uncle got 2 tickets together offered and he took them, only found out yesterday that it was in their main section of the ground for 'nutters' where im sitting No jokes, you'd better be careful. Even if nowt happens during the match, watch yourself after the match.

Aye, us old blokes get knackered in the second half and anyone with a bit of pace will annihilate us.

Soccerdome in Royal Quays.

I wonder what Ashley's going to make of it. Mightn't be the greatest idea he's ever had, tbh...

Played this evening. Started the first half really well playing that diamond formation and then it turned to a bit of a shambles in the second when we were a bit indisciplined. Would definitely recommend a couple minute's chat about formation as I think there were definite improvements tonight.

I wouldn't. In fact, I'd try my best to sabotage my team's performance by misplacing passes and hoofing the ball out whenever possible for a Newcastle corner, thus putting my entire career in jeopardy and ruining any future chances I might have at any club.

Eh? Not read the News Guardian? Place is full of 'em.

That's just incomprehensible.

Depends on his reaction. It's the lad's job to score goals, ffs, so you can't get after him for that.

Might watch it in the Bay, if I can avoid those Vietnamese drug gangs.

If Big Sam gets a good win, it'll definitely help him out.

Cos' it's probably the biggest match they've ever played and will ever play for sometime.

Most rough pubs are, aslong as you don't act like a c*** you'll be ok. it's not rough in the "get your head kicked in type of way" but the "dodgy dealers" way. My kinda pub.

Been in there a coupla times. Canny friendly, tbh.

The Rose & Crown or the Black Garter Has the Rose & Crown even got a big screen?

Make an effort, mate. Get some pals round and get bladdered! It's trampy, but cool.
