Keep putting a team out that we think can win each game. If that means dropping some of the players from the first two games, then so be it. Its a squad, not two seperate teams! And of course we should be going for it. Any club with ambition wants to win trophies. We have no idea how well the draw could play out. Lets hope for us at home to Northampton and Arsenal v Man Utd in the next round. Villa with a tricky away tie would be nice too.

He's right, but he's hardly one to talk, and his alternatives are terrible.

3 wins and a draw.

Michael Madar at Everton being one I suppose.

Wingers should look as gay as possible just to annoy defenders and opposition fans. I used to find it funny how many defenders went out to destroy Ronaldo, only for the lad to take the piss out of them and make them look mugs, all whilst he had his shirt untucked, with tape round his socks, poncy hair cut and girly walk, before ripping his top off after scoring to reveal a 6pack. It just annoyed everyone which was all the funnier.

He had a good game on Saturday. I wish some people on here would calm down when we get the odd defeat. The reaction towards Barton and Nolan last week after Blackpool was embarrassing.

Totally different situations. How? Given would only be here 1-3 months in a situation where we could do with a keeper. I can't see any similarity to being linked with Bellamy other than they're both former players. People are having a go at the way Given left the club, Bellamy left the club in a far worse way, and yet people would have been happy to have him back. He was bullied out of the club by that cunt Souness. Given asked to leave.

What a slut! She's wants to be an actress I see. Haha

For me, trophies first, entertainment second. Anyone who says any different is an idiot! However we were getting neither under 'Big Sam'! And it was 1969, not 68. Getting that wrong and claiming to be a fan is fuckin ridiculous.

The stadium next to the one that used to be called Highbury is absolutely plastered with corporate advertising for Emirates and even named after them (whatever next !) and it's one of the best looking arenas in Europe. Just sounds like a few Newcastle fans being up their own arse again about how special THEIR stadium is. (Which of course it is) To be fair though, Emirates isn't a tacky sports shop with ugly looking fonts in their adverts. And we're probably getting even more up our own arses if we start to say "well advertising is OK but only if it's acertain certain company/product" In principle, it's wrong, but there again maybe all sponsorship in sport is wrong ? We're in debt, we need money and principles don't pay wages or feed mouths. Rather this than sell a promising player. I dont think its anything to do with being up our own arses tbh.

Does the company actually pay for the sponsorship, or is it just that Ashley owns the club so he just puts the Sports Direct signs up.

I thought Barton was woeful. A real return to form - he can do it every once in a while when he's got a bee in his bonnet and is centre of attention but week in, week out, just plain not good enough. He didn't look any better last year against similar standard opposition - Guthrie, on the other hand, pissed it. For me, he's a much better player than Barton. Barton's set pieces are f***ing terrible, so easy to defend. Guthrie is nowhere near the standard of Barton. Based on what? Nothing I've ever seen in a black and white shirt, that's for sure. Never has a player lived off reputation so much, even more than Smith and Nolan. "Best midfielder" my arse, he never hides to be fair to him but 9 times out of 10 he offers nothing. Totally disagree. By far our best midfielder, based on performances when he's match fit.

Everton are looking good despite their results so far. Worried about this game, but looking forward to the day.

Poor start to the season. Expected 5 points at least.

That fuckin poem!

Yes that one game. I'm not going to sit here and list them all.

Well I totally disagree. ever since he's been here we've looked a better team with him than without. One game that springs to mind was the mackems away when we got beat. We were awful until him and Jonas came on. As I said, not as good as when he was at City, but still fairly decent. Although he does take a while to get up to speed after injury.

He hasn't been crap here though. Granted he hasn't been as good as he was at City, but he hasn't been crap. Can't remember any dreadful performances like I can for some of our other players.

...and probably would have done if he could have stayed fit two seasons ago. I hope he manages to maintain both form and fitness he has kept his head down, worked hard and he deserves it, then maybe a little credit will come. I know. He could have at least chosen to be born with steel bones so they wouldnt break. He's a fuckin idiot for deciding to get injured and missing periods of the season. Seriously though, get a grip. I doubt you were blaming Shearer for his injury problems. It's also not Joey's problem that on a number of occasions the club has decided to bring him back too quickly from injury, like many a player over the years. I'll agree it always takes him a few games to get match fit, but this can't be helped. When he does get a run of games, he's pretty much our best player.

Can't believe ANYONE would pick an embarrassing home defeat as their best moment, just because fans gave one of the opposition players a good reception. Seriously, how embarrassing and what a loser.

Wes Brown's unfortunately. Looked like Shearers at the time though. Great moment.
