why wouldn't you swap a very good 'keeper for an excellent one?

If we draw with Derby, it'll be like the End of Days on here. that would amount to a failure in that game, certainly.

Better than the "this player is great" based on FM2007 bollocks, but only just.

unfortunatley so. I think Smith will get more games than he deserves as well.

Isn't the point that you should be trying to help the club with what you're doing though? You should really be breaking your balls trying to get the club to take your ideas on board and prove to them that you're worth working with. I get the impression that you lot don't seem willing to compromise over anything and want to do things all your way, which is laughable quite frankly. i thought they wanted flags and singing, therefore atmosphere? Seems to me there doesn't need to be a lot of compromise for that. Changing the name for one thing. As I recall, at their meeting with the club they were told that the club wanted more say in how things were done with the Ultras, but they wer having none of it. Obviously it's unfair to expect them to just hand over what they've started, but clearly the club will have more power to move the organistaion in the right direction and garner support. But it seems a lot of the Ultras are just more interested in helping themselves than the club. The club has no right to demand anything from anyone. The name argument is pathetic, really.

Ferdinand and Cole were shite last night. And SWP is at best our second best RW, but i think we're stuck with him now. Pace above all else on the wing? Stupid idea.

Nice FM dig here, most people do that when they're losing an argument. Very few people who "argue" with you are on the losing side, so how the hell do you know that??

Ashton is nowhere near as over rated as Viduka.

Soon as possible, if it means dropping fucking Smith.

Which is why he's the BEST. EVER.

Who are those FINE WINGERS with no blistering pace ? Beckham, Solano, Robert (on his day). There's 3. two of whom were the best crossers of the ball i've seen int he premiership. You call those three FINE ? OK because I thought they were WORLDCLASS not just fine...OK if those three are FINE then Milner must be SH*T in comparison to be fair...So your whole argument that fine wingers don't need pace is only valid if you have extra magic and skill and sadly Milner is no where even close to the above and it is a disgrace to even compare him to them.... Well done misunderstood the word "fine" as used in that context, AND misunderstood the argument. Carry on.

yup: i once TRIED the tasters.

Scored the only goal in the Sunderland v Leeds 1973 FA Cup Final, for Sunderland. Don't care how old you may be or say you are - how can you not know about that??? i know who he was, but i don't know who scored goals in other FA Cup Finals before i was born, why would i, or why would anyone else? as for the fella dying, sad for anyone who knew/liked him, i'm sure. Most people I know who are interested in football tend to know about such things. Things that are part of "football folklore" are well known, and particularly things that are part of local/regional "football folklore" (as in this case) are very well known. I and my friends/family always seem to know about things that happened before we were born (in subjects of interest to us such as football and regional-football particularly) every bit as well as we know about things that we have experienced in the years that we happen to have been alive. I am surprised by these comments to the contrary!! A lot of the younger fans (and some from outside Newcastle) think that football, and NUFC, was invented in 1992 by Sky, though. Like i say, i know about him, but only because of the north east connection. I wouldn't have a clue about west midlands fa cup heroes of yesteryear, for example - and fans from outside of the north east might well not know about Porterfield. Bet everyone remembers Ronnie f****** Radford though. w******. That's because it is bl****y well shown on the BBC, every single year when the 3rd Round of the FA Cup starts!! i know. Its as if the ONLY ever FA cup upset.

Italian footballers? At least the regular viewers will still be able to watch a load of fannies......

More of them. The ran out first game. I had to have a Dirty Burger ("Quality Catering", you liar!) on the way out.

Continuing the Irish stereotype.

all good stuff. add sorting the pie situation out, and you're onto a winner.

That's because there haven't been any since 19 fucking 57. :lol:

you missed the part about them injecting smack into baby seals eyes, then. Not the kind of thiong "young lads" did in MY day.

He wont tho, he is a notorious fiddler. <shocked to fuck smilie> Mind, i always thought there was something wrong with his smile.

Nobby Solano Beckham was never a winger, he was a right sided midfielder. Wrong, but fair enough.
