Never liked the bloke, but felt sorry for him when he was collecting his medal at the end, dunno how anybody couldn't really. He looked a broken man.

Great stuff mate, good luck with it, I'm sure all the fansites/fanzines will be very willing to help such a good cause so it might be worth getting in touch with all of them too!

Like Anelka? The difference in reaction of the two of them says a lot about them both. Aye. Anelka's a real man.

You obviously want somebody to ask why so I'll go for it, why? I honestly wasn't, I'm not Yorkie And just to prove it, I'll not reveal anything. You bassa

Don't you think the poor lad has gone through enough? We can't we just let it slide? I didn't even realise you were online, cometh the hour cometh the man!

Are there any Terry/slip jokes doing the rounds yet? If not, let's start some. I'm not funny, so don't look at me!

If one of my family members ever did that to me after we'd lost the biggest match in our history, I'd fucking maim them. Even if it meant getting a train 300 miles South to do it.

This is setting itself to be the worst summer of my life, unfortunately.

Aye, it was excellent. Gutted that it had to be Terry to miss for Chelsea, he didn't deserve that, but I'm glad Man Utd won. I was also thrilled with Drogba's red card. The cunt.

He's passed it out of play on at least two occasions, but he's not been bad. Drogba's getting bullied, which is brilliant to see.

I hope not, but with Chelsea scoring right on half-time, I fear you may be proven right!

Aye but those two don't harry defenders all over the pitch. Tevez isn't a poacher, it's never been his game, but he's still played a massive role tonight. I'll not count him out just yet, he's scored a lot of big goals for them. This second half could be off the hook.

Good fucking game, but dear me I fucking hate Chelsea. Lucky cunts. If Tevez had scored that header it would have been one of the best goals ever seen in a CL final, absolutely unreal stuff from Rooney/Ronaldo in the build up. Then Carrick fucking side-foots the bastard rebound! Miles better than I anticipated, but cannot believe that lot equalised in that fashion... I can actually. Lampard is the Bobble/Rebound King.

You've conceded ground, I've conceded ground, everyone's a winner (drawer?) baby. My initial point was that I couldn't believe people were having a go at Ferguson's tactics when it's gotten them to the final this season. Granted, it hasn't been beautiful viewing along the way, but you can't knock it when it works unfortunately! Anyway, 12 minutes until my terrestrial coverage starts (no Sky!) and I'm looking forward to a bit of Pleat personally! No Souness!

They've only gotten to a couple like, it's not like they're perennially good in the Champions League. If anything, they've underachieved in Ferguson's time there, given how consistently good they've been in that time. This season is the only one where they've really played "defensively", for me. It's not great to watch, of course, but it's f***ing worked for them. They've been like that to an extent for years IMO, ever since they bought Veron and started playing 5 in midfield in Europe. It's just that it's worked better this year. So you're wrong, basically... I'm not having that! Semi-finals last year, where they lost to the eventual CL winners in a tie that was 5-3 on aggregate and where they apparently "weren't defensive enough" according to some at the time. Admittedly they've had a rocky spell prior to these last two seasons, but I personally haven't seen them as cautious as they've been at times this season in Europe. Perhaps I have a bad memory, but I honestly can't recall it.

I think what probably annoys people more is they are capable of playing brilliant football, and we here all the time what an attacking team they are and how they boast such attacking prowess. Yet when they don't play like that it annoys people. Aye, especially for us "neutrals", like. I'd want to see them going gung-ho every game, and the Barca match bored me rigid, but you can't knock it if it works unfortunately.

Is Hleb staying, then?

Can't see that going down well at all, to be honest. There's already the growing feeling of NUFC being "run from London", which isn't a nice one, and which will be used as a big stick to beat people with if things don't go well again next season - and maybe rightly so.

I think they go more defensive in Europe because it gets them to Champions' League finals, personally. But ho-hum!

Bastard, I was just about to say are you offering them out. You would have voted "couldn't give a shit" then, wouldn't you?

If there's any Newcastle fans who've voted "couldn't give a shit" about the chairman of their club changing, then they want a good bumming. EDIT: This isn't me offering to dish them out, by the way, despite what cunts like Shak will tell you.

Yeh i'd agree with that - dont get me wrong im not saying he's a crap player or he's an amazing player but i have my opinion on what we need as a winger and at the moment from what little i saw he struck me as a differnt type of winger to the one i have in mind. It's funny though, because will we even be playing with wingers next season? That's why I'm not sure what sorts of player we're after, to me the likes of Turan and Modric are not "wingers" by definition, certainly not in the traditional Keegan mould of Sellars, Ginola, Fox, Gillespie... (fuck me, what a brilliant little quartet of players)... they seem to be more comparable to the likes of Hleb and Rosicky who play "wide" for Arsenal but aren't really wingers, much like Ljungberg and Pires weren't. I have no clue what style of football we're going to play next season after this new formation has been brought in and been a relative success, so I struggle even more to make any judgements about how a player will do for us!

Should point out that I wasn't having a go at you Fred with that comment, was very general indeed, just my take on the matter. In fact, if anything, it was refreshing to see somebody NOT getting giddy over a YouTube compilation.

He can only be judged on what he does when he's here at the end of the day - if he comes, of course. So many players have looked good before and after Newcastle but been dog-dirt here and by the same token there've been a lot who have had their best years in black-and-white and never looked the same elsewhere. You definitely can't make a proper assessment over YouTube though, whether it be a positive or negative one.
