Just back from the match and my observations: Played the wrong formation - shuda gone 4-4-2 and played as Everton did at them at the weekend, didnt look at all like scoring in the 2nd half, almost like we were playing for the nil nil Defence was good - Ramage and Taylor looked good until we were chasing the game, Ramage in particular stands out Huntington isnt upto it - at the moment anyways, i know he was out of position etc but his general footballing ability looks limited, a la Ramage but worse, but he tried his best so fair play. Chelsea - whey what can you say, for a team like they have to play as they do is a joke, Mourihno wants to take a look at his players b4 criticising others, i thought the FK was a FK for the goal but what was Given doing was my immediate thought - havent seen it back. Mikel is gash, Bridge and Ferreira looked gash as did the Cannibal. Changed so much when they got the subs on. Entertainment Value - 5 Support/Atmos - 6 NUFC Performance - 6 Roeder Performance - 3

fully agree

hoy it with the bigger thread if there is one like. edit: Ta

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/6195783.stm Newcastle say a consortium backed by American group Polygon are one of the parties that have approached the board about a possible offer for the club. The announcement comes after Magpies chairman Freddy Shepherd told the parties linked with moves for the club to make their intentions public. Newcastle however, insist the board "have not accepted any proposals for the company from any party". A statement added that "there can be no certainty that an offer will be made".

:lol:

gay.gif whats gannin on here then?

All them one as they either improve the team or in the case of most give the manager options from the bench/in the squad.

im at work in Byker and its sunny times

WTF?! :lol:

Couldnt give a flying fuck, wherever they move they'll still be shit to watch and be bin dippers. Should of got a shared stadium though, or should share with Tranmere or something

do away points come into play if the tie is drawn, only taking a 1 point lead away on the long journey to 'Sexy Time' and i feel my players may be distracted.

Understatement of the year so far. Everytime a team crosses it in there i fully expect them to score.

Huh? Spurs (h), Bolton (a), Everton (a), Man Utd (h) Granted we'll probably beat Spurs, Bolton and Everton are strong at home and Man U are Man U be happy with anything over 5 points out of them to be honest. I think Spurs and Everton are probably the two winnable games.

Get absolutely murdered by some bunch of part-timers or go out on pens against similar oppo.

said at the weekend on the gossip thing, Spurs were asked for £4m minimum for Davis

found that rather annoying tbh, they do it quite a lot at Villa for some reason n all. I reckon might've been due to the Blackpool illumation esque sponsorboards

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.
