Dyer was absolute horseshit on Saturday, can't remember a single contribution he made to the game and looked totally uniterested until he got taken off.

I would welcome the FA Cup winner qualifying over the 4th place club, but if they already qualified, for it to fall back on 4th place, and not the runner up. I also agree that the UEFA Cup winner should automatically go to the Champions League the following year, even if it means a lot of clubs from a single country are in it. 100% agree with this

its no 85 year old John Barnes playing upfront in the Champions League on a regular basis.

GK - Brock SWP - Lee LB - Ramage RB - Nobby CB - Butt RM - Bridges LM - Ameobi CM - Beardsley CM - Venison CF - Watson CF - Duff Not sure if i have just imagined Rob Lee at sweeper but Im sure it happened. If not hoy some other mincer into the defence.

No peanut/baked bean lookalikes in team for me please Glenn.

To make this match more entertaining i will be drinking heavily during it.

this.

In the past 5 full seasons, he has played approx. 75% of games. This is only approx. because I don't know how many cup games the side was involved in. Note also that this figure is signifcantly lower because last season he only played 12 games. He was injured for a month at least, which may account for some of this. He has played regularly in whichever European competition the club has been involved in. Does this answer your question? I agree, Shakhtar's need to play a full strength team in the league is non existant too, they have 47 points 19 games in and themselves and Dynamo Kiev are miles ahead at the top. Much like the Rangers/Celtic situation but worse i imagine. More tellingly is probably that the lad has made 30+ int'l appearances since 2002. On a seperate note, Shakhtars new stadium looks like it'll be canny.

is fairly easy to put a recall clause in a loan deal should we need said players so squad numbers shouldnt be a problem.

Went a cuple of times when they were in the Conference and it were terrible, no atmosphere and terrible standard so i cant imagine its any better these days.

Absolutely no point in watching Nani or Simao, both way out of our price/being able to attract range. Would be amazed if Simao wasnt at Liverpool or Man U next season.

Macedonia down to 10 men for those interested.

England makes watching Newcastle look positively enjoyable. They're fucking gash...I long ago switched my allegiance to Norn Iron, they're shit but at least they're passionate.

personally i think those white names on the white stripes is a masterstroke, why don't we use that in the league.

Wasn't there somethin a while back about Pearson leading the team out?

fully agreed, even if he technically a cockney

Taylor will not get any better if we don't get players he can learn off. This is why we should've got Sol Campbell when we had the chance

damn my leprosy!

would it not be possible to play at a range of Non League grounds such Whitley, Consett, Blyth, Bedlington etc etc. providing they were upto scratch. Would probably get the fans in and offers a sort of 'in the community' approach to maybe get more young fans on board. I know years and years ago when our ressies played Prudhoe in that cup thing there was about 500+ in. EDIT:Bollocks beat me to it!

all of this

this and he makes Steve Carr look like a white Linford Christie

would like to see PNE come up for a change of scenery in the Prem plus a handy to go to away game but can't see it. Bottle it when it matters.

The point made about how we should've seen him and bought him not Viana is probably the single most thing in football over recent seasons that fucks me off. Are our scouts rampant crackheads or something?

I've got a mate who is BVB fan and says he's past it. Slow as fuck.

Likewise East Stand, fairly central. This but spot on the halfway line as per always
