Always reluctant to back Cardiff - have cost me a fair few quid this season altho Cov are gash.

1. At the start of the season what where your expectations, and are things going as you expected? Challenging for a UEFA Cup place and we are kind of doing so i guess. Obviously no-one expected us to have so many injuries but then no-one probably would've expected us to be Martins and Sib aside mediocre in the transfer market so we could replace said injured players. We knew Shearer, Ameobi and Owen would not be available way before the season, a bit of forward planning wouldnt have gone a miss. 2. Who's been your best performer this season? James Milner - 100% every game without fail. Works jus as hard going back as forward and has really benefitted from a run of games in the first team, this is extenuated further when you think we tried to offload him on Aug 31. Other stars have been Given and Martins. He has also made more appearances than any other player. Nicky Butt too has come back to form from the wilderness this season, this started in pre-season and hasn't let up. Says a lot that many fans would have him first choice in central midfield, he gives us much needed balance in this area. Overall Jimmy Milner tho. 3. And your worst/most disappointing? Steve Carr and Celestine Babayaro - gash and mercenary respectively Damien Duff has been nothing short of diabolic since he moved here. He looks a poor imitation of the player we saw at Blackburn and Chelsea and for Ireland. 4. You had a quiet January transfer window, if you where the manager, who would you have tried to sign? A lot more than Roeder did! Altho it is hard to buy in January. We are crying out for a solid pair of full backs and a probably an experienced centre half (We should've got Sol in Aug - why we didn't is beggars belief). Fullbacks - Wayne Bridge altho that would seem unlikely now, Paul Konchesky, Justin Hoyte. We also need a centre forward who is not a dwarf perhaps Dave Nugent would fit the bill or Dean Ashton or John Carew. 5. What are your best and worst memories of our previous meetings? best - stevie watson scoring a screamer in the league cup for us to win 1-0 in 94(i think!) worst - Michael Owen rubbing his hands like a twat in our 4-1 drubbing at SJP On a general note for an advert for football the two 4-3 games, in particular the first one. 6. Do you have any favourite/best chants (and perhaps any that require an explanation)? No, our songs currently are mediocre. Blaydon Races will always be a favourite of mine and doesnt get enough airings as it should 7. What’s the banter like between Newcastle and Liverpool fans at St James, would you say that the 2 sets of fans get on? Liverpool fans (i know) like most who support big teams seem to think they're better/more knowledgable than Newcastle/clubs that win fuck all due to the fact we win fuck all - this annoys me intensely. Apart from that though, yeah mediocre. 8. In the summer, Liverpool and Newcastle are told to swap 3 first team regulars, who would you send to Liverpool, and who would you like from us? Out - Baba,Carr,Damage can leave In - Gerrard (he is a tit but a fucking good player, not that he'll be leaving if you believe those rumours about his personal life),Kuyt(shouldve bought him in the summer),Agger(impressed me everytime i've seen him and can only get better) 9. Liverpool have become the lastest club to gain new owners, Newcastle have been mentioned as well as a likely candiate for a takeover. How do you feel about these take-overs by foreign owners, and would you like to see it happen at Newcastle? Fat Fred is at the heart of what is wrong with our club and with his at the helm we will never achieve more than mediocrity. Although im sceptical about foreign owership, id prefer to see English/British owners but im sure at the moment Villa, Chelsea and even Man U fans arent bothered about the ownership. 10. Care to predict Mr Roeder’s starting line up for the game? Harper Solano Gooch Bramble Taylor Milner Parker Butt Duff Dyer Martins 11. And finally, let’s have your score predictions for the game 0 - 1 (a goal from a cross)

When some1 scores a screamer and the keeper doesn't dive Timewasting Shit atmosphere Shit Away Followings e.g. Fulham. Passionless mercenery players

was same for me down uni at Bournemouth, see some1 else with a Toon shirt on and giv a knowing nod to them despite having nee clue who they are

goals going in off the underside of the bar when games lose the plot and there is a trouble (between the players) just waiting to happen a good atmosphere a good travelling support Sunderland being shit

Good on Joey Barton, for a bindipping scouse lad he speaks quite a lot of sense

was only £80k mate i think

gash team, how SWP gets in when he often (Chelsea at full strength) fails to even make the bench yet alone the first team. Is there some sort of contractual obligation that when you're the England manager you must give Phil Neville caps. He will have 55 caps after this, here a short selection of players he has more caps than: Stanley Matthews Trevor Francis Geoff Hurst Jack Charlton Steve Coppell Trevor Brooking Roger Hunt Nat Lofthouse Stan Mortenson Jackie Milburn Dixie Dean He is soon to overtake: Haynes,Gazza,Greaves,Beardsley

aye

This. aye

Nowt like narrowing it down!

Probs Manchester United to show that money can't buy everything. Hopefully it'll go down to the last day though or something mildly entertaining.

I could've sworn we had a 1st choice buy/loan back thing on him...well played the board! Great coup for the Boro if he does agree personals but i also reckon he'll be off somewhere better.

If we didnt have Martins, Owen and potentially Dyer in the small striker role i'd happily take Bob Earnshaw. Off Wikipedia: His Premier League hat-trick against Charlton Athletic on March 19 2005 made him the first player to have scored a hat-trick at all levels of English professional football, the FA and League Cups and at full international level; his international hat-trick having been scored against Scotland in Wales 4-0 victory in February 2004. - can't cut it? this suggests otherwise. He is second only to Thierry Henry in terms of goals-per-minute in Premiership history. - who would have thought that!

I'll be fucking livid if Dyer plays as he will get injured if he does...FACT!

haha

surely a rolling contract if any would be better.

Thank God he can't ref our macthes. He was terrible. 3 wrong calls on penalty decisions and how the hell did Scholes avoid a booked? Was a joke of a ref. Scholes commited 5 yellow card offences and picked up ZERO cards. Is why Paul Scholes doesnt have the worst disciplinery record in Prem, fairly certain if u looked at everygame he played there'd be a clear yellow offence. Fucking good player tho

why thank you. Your bribe is in the post

he is the bigman who is good on the floor aka. not Peter Crouch. Gutted we didn't try get him, he would've been a perfect foil for Oba and given us a lot more options.

I still just use the 2sided one - great idea for stinkin bassads like me.
