He's a Newcastle fan though

Very subtle Parky.

Chelsea fans are unbelievable. I was reading one of their forums the other day, and the level of fickleness was quite incredible. I personally wouldn't read too much into what gets posted on forums, they are like red tops, forums. This is true. There's a lot worth reading on forums, but you have to sift through a lot of crap.

I don't completely agree with you there HTT, it's happening at all prem clubs. Most fans will boo if they're behind to a non-top 4 team at half time now, I witnessed it first hand at Blackburn-Pompey this season.

I didn't really manipulate them. I said "Check the poll. Over 50% want Shearer installed as manager at some time in the next 5 years". Which is true. This will loom over the club until he is one day appointed. The media would be correct to say the majority of Newcastle fans want Shearer as manager (I personally think the % would be higher if you asked everyone in the ground). Given that it's reasonably unlikely (imo, at least. Certainly something Mort backs up) that Allardyce is going to get sacked here and now, what is the most relevant stat?

Because we don't want to sell him.

Southgate is a cock. That's my measaured opinion. *slurps rioja* You're on it early The remainder of a bottle from last night. Didn't want it to be sitting there all day, did I? Wise. Better to drink it slowly now then to find it later on, get excited, and have to drink it as fast as you can.

Yeah, Hansen said something along the lines of "Shearer would give the toon army their self respect back" I think.

Not taking grammar lessons, by the look of it.

Keep your nose out of it, Southgate. I appreciate that may be difficult for you to do, given its proportions, but at least try.

It was noted after the epic shootout between England and the Netherlands in the U21s Euros this year that there had been one great example of refereeing consistency throughout the game. In the shootout, the keepers were off their lines when all 22(?) penalties were taken, and not once was anything done about it.

Despite my concerns about breaking them down, I wouldn't be too surprised if we nicked this. Can see it being a very low scoring game, 1-0 either way or 1 a piece. Covering all my bases there Neck out: 1-0 Toon. Blind optimism.

Nope, we're saying they won't be taken account of in court, unless he's previously been found guilty of them in court.

For all the talk about Elano and Petrov, City's season has been built on their defensive solidarity. Dunne in particular was an absolute rock against Liverpool. I'm really not sure how we'll break them down.

I agree. It's fucking cheating. Keane does it all the time.

Yep, it makes sure all players are at least ten yards away from the penalty spot.

Diego Swarfega!!11!!

Either you'll resurrect it or I will

I saw this, Jonny Hall is right, but Poll was talking about this specific case. He should have been more careful with his phrasing.

C'mon Ireland and Torres!

Come up with your own fecking team Yorkie. At least change the bench so you can pretend you're not copying me!

So you want us to try a new formation now?

You'd better hope HTL doesn't see this
