And Paul McGrath, who he sold for peanuts, played on for another 7 years or so, and is in my (admittedly hugely biased) opinion, still the finest defender to play in the Premiership. But then again, I would say that. Clearly you didn't see wor Jean Alain in full flow.

Exactly what kind of striker is Beattie apart from crap? Why bother with him? The money would be better spent on someone like Nugent He gets a lot of stick does Beattie but I think he would do a job with Martins/Owen because of his strength and running off the ball (taking players with him). I fully expected to get some shit for saying I'd buy him but I think he'd add something to our squad, especially with Sib being a year older and less mobile next year. I think he'd fit right into the squad and the area, he's english, he's not got a bad injury record and he's still young (ish). A sound investment in my eyes. Ok, he may not be the worst signing ever but for that kind of money (£4million-ish) we could buy a far better striker. Ok, on the basis Nugent has been quoted as costing over £4m (and isn't proven in the premier league) who would you suggest? Not being arsey BTW, just think Beattie is a great bet if we could get him for that price. I see your point and Beattie wouldn't be that bad. I'd rather have someone like Collins John, Marlon King or Kevin Doyle though. what the fuck?!

Nicky Butt is undroppable at the moment and i for one would be disgusted if he was.

two left blank as i aint a clue who'll get through for us and t'other (pos. Bordeaux)

Waregem/Newcastle v Fenerbahce/AZ CSKA M/Maccabi Haifa v Livorno/ Espanyol Hapoel/Rangers v Bordeaux/ Osasuna Braga/Parma v Feyenoord/Spurs Steaua Bucharest/Sevilla v Shakhtar/Nancy Lens/Panathinaikos v Leverkusen/Blackburn AEK/PSG v Benfica/Dinamo Bucharest Spartak M/Celta Vigo v Werder Bremen/Ajax could be a tough QF line-up if my predictions get through. And to KD and Stevie - you two are worse than a couple of 5yr old girls for bickering. :roll:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulte_Waregem Bit of info on our opponents, a solid performance away shud see us through i imagine. Hope we get a decent one for the next round as they do that today n all.

fair enough, but unless i can tolerate a team i won't encourage them in Europe. The experience watching the Champs Lge final with a pub full of plastic scousers has certified that notion for me. Only team i'd tolerate going through is Man Utd as usually they're euro games are full of drama and a good watch whereas Chelsea n Liverpool bar matchs v. Barca/Milan are like watchin paint dry

fucking hope not, never hear the bastard end of it if they do.

Man U with their standard easy draw.

Can fly with FlyBE from Southampton to Newcastle for reasonable prices, is what i used to do in my Bournemouth days.

Got Chelsea, Espanyol, Spurs to finish off my accumulator - had Porto, Forest, Doncaster win so far.

Reckon Martins would kick Owen in tbh

Shevchenko will score on Weds if he starts

Wemberlee!, Wemberlee!, We're The Famous Vagabonds and we're going to Wemberlee, Wemberlee!, Wemberlee! Liking the fact of being the underdog for the next round.

:lol:

Not exactly setting the highest standards as role models. I'm hearing that Levy and Comolli went ballistic when they found out yesterday. They not get an invite like?

second person i've gone to school with to be involved in a 'sex' story in the tabloids.

nee 1 must want a bit of Chris Brown like

First-half diagnosis? Wasted chances, gash defending, not enough closing down, poor. Second-half diagnosis? Better, didnt create as much in the first but was ok Full-time diagnosis? A win! happy days. Star man for United? Butt or Emre Worst United player? Babayaro - gash Opposition comment? Poor. Toon-pros? Created chances Toon-cons? Defending (bar Nobby) Post-match feelings? meh

Nik the Greek or Disco Des for me

On tonights performance i'd drop Milner. gave away possession a lot and never really beat his man or got a cross in all night. Same old Milner, then? Did a brilliant cross for the Sib in first half where Sib should've buried it tbh

failing to see why we're a Category A game tbh. But aye £71 is a ludicrous amount of money to watch a midtable affair.

Making me look a complete joke? You're a mong of Michael Carroll proportions pal. You abuse the toon for getting 48,000, yet one week later Boro end sold out and there's 2,000 empty seats in the Spurs end, in their best home form in 20 years. Honest mate just go away you're shit, and you're using up bandwidth on here. Does lying just come naturally to you? Boro did not even nearly sell out there allocation you drunken hooligan. Quit lying its unhealthy. Returned 1183 to be exact. Having said that, there were still a few empties in east upper and west lower. What Newcastle fans can never wrap their heads around is the fact that our tickets cost about half as much again for some matches, twice as much in others. My ticket last night cost £42, to watch Newcastle at WHL costs £71. If the ticket prices at SJP were doubled, I wonder how many empty seats there would be then? You sit on a throne surrounded by lapdancers or something?

Man U 57 Chelsea 54 Arse 42 Liverpool 37 Bolton 34 Villa 32 Everton 32 Spuds 32 Reading 31 Pompey 30 City 27 Fulham 26 Blackburn 25 Wigan 24 Boro 24 Wet Spam 23 TOON 20 Sheff U 17 Charlton 15 Watford 11

Looking at a couple of accumulators for the weekend - think the following teams wil win: Gretna, Liverpool, Spurs, Oxford, Notts County, Bayern, Stuttgart, Porto, Mouscron, Celtic, Valencia, Barca, Morton, Brechin, Cowdenbeath, Stirling, and Plymouth
