Oh so you're not 12. That's a surprise.

There's no point in that attitude. We're capable of a draw here if we play well and Arsenal aren't at their best. They've had a trip to Russia and back while we've had a week off on the back of a big result. Who knows, teams do go there and win, if you catch them on an off day or the ref gives you a chance, anything can happen. Arsenal will of course be favourites but the players have to be positive and go there believing they can nick something. It will be a different game to our second string against theirs in the cup last week. I agree with all the things in our favour, and I really hope we can get something. But those extra weights on our side of the balance can only tip it so far, we're miles behind Arsenal in terms of ability. Hughton will have the lads ready to go I'm sure, but we can't put too much importance on the result of this one IMO. Exactly, it's not that I'm not hoping. I mean it is realistically possible to go there and win by three but I THINK that we won't. Arsenals ability is way above ours, and we still haven't shown consistency. But who knows, maybe the 2-1 win against West Ham and Sunderland win has us on a roll. And while I doubt we'll get a point I'll still cheer us to get full points but will be understanding if we don't.

Arsenal will win, I'll be more than happy with only loosing by a goal. But in the end I think they might win by 3 or so like they usually do against us on Emirates.

The thing is we CAN, but we WON'T. We've shown quality by beating Everton away, maturity and morale by winning a game we were losing 1-0 away, we've proven we can outclass opponents as long as we have a good day as we beat Aston Villa and Sunderland by a combined 11-1. But we're not consistent enough or deep enough. After all theres a top 5. Then theres Villa, Everton and Liverpool (sorry but theyre mediocre this season). Then theres us, Sunderland, Blackburn, Fulham and so on. While I don't think we'll ever finish top 6 or top 8 for that matter. 10th is not unrealistic.

The difference between Willy and Colo is simple. Colo is more calm and plays fairer, Willy holds on to shirts of the attackers a lot and will be punished at one time later in the season. However as long as he does get away with it, why not stick with it? I like both o them, but Colo is clearly the better defender and allround player.

Fabregas is a great player, and without him Arsenal would/will be nothing. However, he's a fucker. He's an arrogant twat. You guys surely havnt missed that?

Are we only talkng Newcastle games, otherwse World Cup Semi-final Brazil Turkey in 2002 was great. Wll never forget that or the match afterwards that I watched on telly

Mourinho just outmourinhoed them. Put all attackers on and scored. That's not outmourinhoing though! Madrid keeps its record of never winning at San Siro. (always looking at the bright side, irrelevant game anyway) Whatever But I wonder, did Allegri lose them two points or did Mourinho win them one point? I feel Allegri made bad decisions, especially the one taking pato out and putting Ambrosini on even if they scored three minutes later.

Eat your hat!

Offside with 3 metres

Hahah Inzaghi!

Allegri showing competence there. Take Pato off. I just hope Real score a couple now.

Would never guess you were of a Brazilian persuasion, like. Hey, I'm not the only one, the swedish commentary agrees with me at least. It's not because I'm Brazilian that I think so, don't forget I want Zlatan off the pitch and im born in Sweden after all and a swedish citizen oto.

Fuckin shit Milan have an awful manager. How come Ronaldinho is taken off when Zlatan should be taken off, and how come Inzaghi is put on when Robinho should be put on. ANd hey, Inzaghi just scored, nevermind.

The thing is I never refer myself to a geordie, but it's not like if someone says, 'you're a dirty geordie' I will say 'But I'm not a geordie'. I'd say but atleast I'm not mackem or cockney. (When talking about football of course) Anyways, this topic seems really divided between people. I'll keep calling any Sunderland supporter a Sad Mackem b******.

With Brazil building for 2014 and Maicon being older than Dani Alves don't blame them. true, but he's not good enough right now. Nothing with age to do, after all Ronaldinho just got his spot back for the next friendly against Argentina.

maicon is having problem getting back in the Brazilian national squad. He's clearly a shadow of himself compared to the World Cup.

Was that not 6-2 or am i getting my games muddled up? The game I saw was 4-2. Was the season 2003/2004. think it might have been 2004. Shearer scored twice, and Bellamy and Dyer scored . Bramble had the match of his life too, never lost a header.

Only been to one NUFC match, but 4-2 against Everton I think it was 2003, and at halftime i took a picture and talked to Hugo Viana. Was seating behind the bench perfect view of the whole match.

Link up well with AC and score goals? I would book a trip to specsavers, clear penalty SO. MUCH. FAIL. in that post its actually unreal and these are actually our own supporters I'd expect to see something similar on RTG To be fair I said this season, not this match. Simpson does it too often, waits for Barton to track down rather than put pressure on the winger. This will cost us goals and point as he gives time for the winger to put in a decent cross.

In other words, would it be wrong to call a Sunderland supporter not born in Wearside a sad mackem bastard then?

Adopted or not, is it wrong for one to call himself a Geordie when it comes to football? I mean if someone comes up to you and ask you what team you support and you answer (proudly) Newcastle, and he answers back oh so you're a geordie, what should my response than be? No, im ''swedish/italian/german or w/e other nationality''. Is that the correct way to approach it? So me being a Newcastle supporter and not being born in Newcastle should NEVER call myself a geordie? I'm not saying it's wrong, I just would never refer to you as a Geordie. I'm not making out like being a Geordie is like being a part of some elitist group, it's just the way I see it.
