That would be awesome. I'd love to see a team like Brazil deal with palying a semifinal at a stadium like SJP or Hampden in December.

Brazil has increadibly high crime (higher than the US even), pick pocketing is rampant and still I would rather countries like Brazil got the WC and Olympics over countries like Qatar or the US for that matter.

It's 45+ degrees in July, death for posession of marijuana, prison for pre-marital sex, its illegal to be pissed, alcohol is hard to come by and slave labour will be use to produce those stadia. No thanks.

What have you got against Jews like? Racist. Ironically Dowie is actually on the far left (middle row) of that pic.

Pep got it wrong. What was with the short corners? Very silly. You have five seconds left and you need a goal.... so why not pull the 'keeper? It absolutely astounds me that more managers don't do this... Barca already had a player up - get the 'keeper in there during the corner and there would have been an even more noticable advantage.

Pretty much this. Love how he gets under the skin of ManU supporters. I desperately wanted him here when he was still in Portugal.

Absolutely this. Can't believe Citeh has the nerve to make the request in the first place or that the FA hasn;t already sent back a "NO" in response. Why would it be? They have 1 keeper, they need an additional for the bench (even tho the additional will blatantly be better than Nielsen) Every other team who have requested emergency loans for keepers seem to have got the loan, why shouldn't City? People are just saying No because it's City. First, I am sure City have keepers in the youth/reserve/academy ranks... so they have more keepers. Second, this is a team that spent 100 million pounds on players in the past 18 months (and bought Given)... they could have bought other keepers as well. It was a gamble on their part... kind of like making three subs at the half or not putting a keeper on your bench (like Bolton did against us a few years ago) - it was a gamble for them and they lost. They didn't prioritise 'keepers so tough sh!t. And for the record I don't have anything against City.

Absolutely this. Can't believe Citeh has the nerve to make the request in the first place or that the FA hasn;t already sent back a "NO" in response.

Lame. The Wizards ended the Galaxy's perfect start. Now its 4 wins and a draw... bah. Title is a must this year regardless of how harmfull the WC will be.

Without Rooney England is nothing special. Rooney has been getting injured a lot lately...

I have a long history of disliking Butt as well from his woeful FA Cup semi performance, to him letting Gareth Barry (and Steven Carr) break up that fight between Dyer and Bowyer when he was the closest player, to his non-attachment/lack of passion to actually playing football (doesn't keep any of his medals - doesn't even know where his CL trophy is and thinks he gave it away) to his lack of leadership (and silence) on the pitch when things go wrong (all of his "leadership" must be behind closed doors)... ...despite all of this I am not bothered that he is lifting the trophy. Hughton made the call to make him captain, Hughton has made other decisions that I didn't like as well but in the grand scheme of things he made more right calls than wrong ones and he made us Champions so I can't really complain. It's a good day for NUFC when we are irritated by which player is lifting a trophy, because it means we actually have one.

Although how sweet would that be if Fulham beat Liverpool in the final.

I think Harper should lift it personally. Been here the longest, he's done well for us this year, dressing room leader (allegedly) and a Geordie.

He's leaving so I am not bothered. Its one of those "Since you're f*cking off, I'll throw you a bone" type of things.

The Robledo Brothers and Clarence Acuña would be proud.

With your TR avatar I was thinking you were talking about the Spanish-American War and the CHarge of the Rough Riders in Cuba. Then I remembered we beat them at the Confed Cup as well... So many ass kickings I get them all mixed up.

I'd buy that - looks mint to me.

I am thinking the Baggies will f*ck this up on their own and draw or lose to the Smoggies. Thereby requiring Plymouth to applaud us onto the field.

Well that is not a Newcastle top, but I do like it.

Well done GG for calling the tone of the game and the final score!

Is Robert Smith in his usual seat at this game?

I actually like that. I would like to see something different as well and really the only way you can go with our kit is something like this or pin stripes (which would be despised by the vast majority).

FAO Yanks - Gateshead has a Costco! The only one in northern England AFAIK. By default that makes Gateshead okay.

Season isn't over so don't jinx it man.
