Goodbye Owen, goodbye premiership if true. Absolutely gutted, cant think of any manager that I want to replace him.

Why the fuck do our managers always leave just after the transfer window? Keegan, Robson, Gullitt and Dalglish. I reckon it must be because we signed players who Keegan didn't want, and didn't try to get players Keegan may have wanted, SWP for example.

Weren't sure what number we were apart from it being alphabetical, so got excited when mackems got number 19. Not a great draw, but should get through.

I swear they just messed it up? Why did Roma go straight into Chelsea's group when Arsenal were yet to be drawn anyone, so it could have been them?

If Milner's not gone by then he might play.

Will get him on my shirt if he signs a new contract I think.

Mine was fine

Think SWP would be an awesome signing. I'd pay up to 15m for him, as I think right wing is a weakness for us.

Tend to be poor starts at home, 0-0 the last two seasons if i remember correctly against West Ham and Villa.

I quite like Senderos, not first choice though. Similar standard to Taylor, but would rather have Taylor.

Got the second of ours today.

Think we might get beat when we play them away.

Got one of ours, but still waiting for the other.

To that argy song From the green and gold (south africa and australia) to dirty old london the boys from newcastle mean everything to me The pride of all Europe The team above all teams We are the geordies... and this is what we sing We hate Sunlun we hate sunlun, we hate sunlun we hate sunlun

That has potential, would be funny with everyone singing.

Bolton Everton Hull/Fulham Spurs West Ham and Sunderland/Lpool. 190/1 Rangers, Ayr, MK Dons, Preston, Boro/Spurs at 29/1

735/1 on Chelsea, Brum, Leeds and Darlo to win their leagues.

Fuming that we'e sold him, especially for such little money. Was a rock a the back last season and shocked that we would sell him when we're short of defenders.

Win £120 from an accumulator if Man Utd win.

Fenton, Woan, Schmeichel, Cantano, Poyet, Collymore, Ashley Cole, Phillips, Quinn, Hutchitson, Drogba, Diego Simeone, Lehmann. Sure there are others but can't think of any.

Really hope we don't sign him, not the calibre of player we should be aiming for.

Keane and Beckham

Inter away, Arsenal away (3-1 - 01/02).

Chelsea Manyoo Liverpool Arsenal

I think I'm in a much worse mood with the club now than I have been at the same point for the last few years, despite finally having a decent manager. I've been far more optimistic under less competent mangers.
