Looks all the more likely this Oliver story is true!!

Excellent News, I reckon the Oliver rumour makes sense now, and wouldn't be suprised if a class proven manager is announced in the next few days! Can't see it being Shearer.

Beye, Faye and N'Zogbia for me.

So, Premiership teams in the hat: Newcastle United (or Stoke) Man United Arsenal Chelsea Wigan Middlesbrough Portsmouth Liverpool (or Luton) Fulham (or Bristol Rovers) Derby (or Sheff Wed) West Ham (or Man C) Man C (or West Ham) Spurs (or Reading) Reading (or Spurs) Out: Everton Aston Villa Blackburn Bolton Sunderland Birmingham 6 Premiership teams out, and at least 2 more will join them.

Notice the rumours about his sale have gone quiet, really can't see how anyone would be willing to pay £10m+ for him nowadays.

Don't need to be desperate for it, its in the bag before kick off.

Smith = -3 Did he do anything at all of note? Gave away a couple of freekicks

Given 7 Roz 4 Taylor 7 Faye 7 Enrique 6 Duff 6 Butt 5 Smith 4 Zog 6 Viduka 6 Owen 5 LuaLua 6 Carroll 5

Wonder how much a ticket will be for the replay, and how many people will honestly be attracted to go and watch that fucking shite??? £10 and i might consider it, purely for the social drinking side.

So if it is shameful then what is it for Everton? Or even Liverpool against a debt ridden Luton and can only manage a draw? Everton certainly embarrassing, and Liverpool too. Thing is, they've had decent seasons otherwise, where as we have just been fucking garbage.

Its fuckin shameful if an established premiership side cant score one fuckin goal against a championship side. Old Trafford at the weekend....

Win or lose, we are fuckin shit.

We are lucky as fuck not to be behind.

keep up mate.

Is it/was it widely accepted that Pattison, Edgar and Carroll are the club piss heads now? (Genuine question)

Decent cup tie, not a bad first half to watch. Stoke have been pretty fucking shit, and we MUST win this today. We have gifted them a few opportunities on the counter though. What is Roz on? Fuckin all ower the shop! Smith anonymous again, apart from giving away the odd foul. I like the way Viduka holds up the ball, but his pass never seems to connect. Zoggy n Duff looking good, Faye solid.

Sir Alex is there too. Looking at one of our lot? Probably looking at ALL of our lot, seen as we play them next.

Good lively FA Cup style start! Howay The Lads!!

Be disapointed if Troisi left, looked canny pre-season. Interesting that SA sees this as a good opportunity to introduce Enrique to English football.

Well, no excuses. 11 highly paid international's in our team. (youth or senior)

My mate used to work down Maiden Castle, and told me a few stories about their antics. Think the top one was the infamous shearer car getting covered in turf and scratched to fuck.

He sounds fuckin class, imagine being in the toon squad during those years with all the pranks!

every week our results against Derby are made to look worse and worse.

We need to win our game before we start worryin about the draw.
