WE ARE GETTING JENAS!

Just another red carpet layed down for Luque. Up to him to prove himself.

*Does backward Flip*........ ...........*Breaks hip*

Still not convinced by Carr either way. He is very clumsy defensively and gets skinned too easily. He can be average or better alot of the time, but then lets himself down. Much like Bramble, but maybe not in such a comedy styling.

"Sorry Curtis, its a no from me..." http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1079667,00.html

Was it just me, or was the Celtic keeper seriously shit aswell.

Wow, nice sly dig there. Actually a good metre or so onside. Shit defending like, but good movement by luque and a smart ball into him.

Watched some of it on the full screen and it was decent for me. Still pretty clear and didn't break up or stop at all. A bit sharper on small screen though, as you said. yeah watched it at full screen at work. Was no worse than any stream ive ever watched, possibly better, like mentioned didnt cut out of stop once. Big thumbs up for the newcastle world team, worked very well and hopefully this and the Juve game are the forerunners for showing reserve or academy games live some time, although this whole thing was made easy by Setanta showing it.

As fast paced a friendly as you will see.

Luque off carroll on??

Riding on the seat of our pants a bit in defence.. fullbacks the main problem, heaping extra pressure on the centre. Rosehnal looks impressive, Ramage hasnt done badly. Look very good passing. Midfield working well coming forward, working hard but not 100% effective on the defensive side, still quite physical which is nice to see. Luque is obviously way short of fitness but looks suprisingly good, some nice tackles-(yes tackles) still the odd dodgy control, same with Martins. Sam has been on the phone for 45mins. Dyer sitting with Owen in the crowd. Im loving it, watching at work! woo.

well fuck me sideways, its actually working. Touch wood.

un-suprisingly world not looking likely to show the match as promised.

MJ has been talking up having him in the bag for months, maybe even before christmas! Rose will be good for them in a couple of years, until then, theres always Kewell! or maybe they can play Dyer there.

Will Dyer be on the bench or on the train daan saath?

Nice, tasty starting line up about what I was expecting. Wasnt likely to play 4-3-3 at home although he might switch to it during the match. Suprised to see N'Zog ommitted?

Yes and also Yes. Regardless of Dyer, I think we were looking to bring another Central midfielder in anyways, albeit probably a defensive one. Appiah really would be ideal for me, he is as creative and driving forward as he is a great defensive midfielder. SWP's would be ideal, especially for replacing pace with pace. But you could argue we are already well stocked on the Right with Geremi, Milner and Solano. SWP would give us something different, but could he fit into the team anywhere else?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=471093&in_page_id=1779&ito=newsnow More ramblings from our new chairman. Good to see they are backing off Allardyce.

It's only pre-season mate. Is Milner expected to play? If so I'd be interested to see him playing from the middle if we go for a 4-3-3. Definately a better option than Geremi and Solano for me in a 4-4-2, he has always been tipped to find his mark and establis himself in the centre eventually, looked best for the U21's there a year or so back. Geremi Butt Milner (4-3-3) Wouldnt be so bad from what we have got, with Martins, Carroll and Luque up top. A little off topic, but does anyone know if Troisi left or right footed?

Luque is fit enough to take part according to Allardyce. Of course doesnt mean he will.

Allardyce said Ameobi and Given wouldnt be risked either. .co.uk better be up for match time! Especially now they have hyped watching it live.

Doing what?... ....it never happened.

West ham were happy wapping out 8m for Upson who is almost as injury prone as Dyer. Im not upset if he goes, provided we replace him. But there is no reason for us to accept anything under 5m in this current market and especially from freakin West Ham. England International, Experience at every level, and somehow aside from ourselves highly rated. Hes not worth anything above 4m, but compared to the current market we should be looking at nearer double that.

Where did you read that? I'd have thought it'll just run in WMP with DRM before loading, requiring your login. Just have to download a player or something to the work computer because it doesnt have it.. should be fine for you if it already works.

Thats pretty sweet for me, I can watch it at work! although I shouldnt.. Hope this is a tester for possibly showing more live matches in the future, reserve and academy games especially, obviously it will be a few years before any first team games can be shown. Good signs though. Just have to download some software.
