Many football fans choose to buy football shirts of their favourite team. It is not a new prospect. It does not denote any particular love for the sponsor of said shirt.

Probably because some people are newcastle fans that like wearing the Newcastle United shirt.

Sunderland? Nah, I think they're probably going to have to be worse than a team that recently smashed us 3-0 at home like.

I'd prefer he stayed but never played for us again. Unless we're against a really really really bad team in the third round of the FA cup

Maybe if a manager had suggested he play a deeper role earlier in his career, he could've prolonged his career by becoming something more than a one trick pony. If only such a mythical manager existed.

Thank you kindly. I'm getting free rein on the downstairs bathroom http://ecrustationery.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/fd58fdba95199e19755622de218c75e1.jpg

Has anyone got a big version of bobby with umbrella on the pitch? Best I can get is 600 pixels, but there is definitely one at 1000 pixels wide kicking around.

I don't believe he is Muslim, he just doesn't really want a pig head in his locker.

Impressively few MLS players in there. Not even giving big Conor Casey a bash?

Alright. I'm borderline small-medium, so it looks like a medium for this one. Not that I'm buying it. Yet. Give it a week.

Is it tight? I heard it's tight.

Gonna struggle not to buy a Beckam PSG shirt now. If only he came with it

I'm gonna hazard a guess and say we're waiting till late July/early august.

ps who is Alex McCarthy ?

They can operate on crack addiction?

My love for wasting money on overpriced NUFC shite has only increased since living outside the area too. All 3 kits nailed on next year, whether the sponsor is Virgin Money, Wonga or KiddieRape Ltd.

Aye, I know Chelsea won the UEFA Cup, but we were much better suited to beating Benfica, so

I've seen plenty of Rafa Benitez to know he will be hounded out by our fans at the first sign of a below par season once they realise his football isn't much better than Pardew's. I reckon Pardew's "not much better" football would be much more popular if it resulted in winning some games every now and then like.

Can we leave the Alan Pardew debate out of one thread. I'm actually enjoying watching football. I don't think it's irrelevant when we've played Benfica and looked better suited to combat them than Chelsea on this evidence (first game at the very least) and when people are advocating Rafa as a Pardew replacement because they are sick of his style of football.. Better suited to combat Benfica. We lost 3-1 ffs. This game is currently goalless.

It's not... but people tend to prefer defensive tacticians when they're able to get their team to defend successfully. Defensively minded teams that concede 6 goals aren't really in style right now.

There hasn't been a huge shift in approach and if anything we actually played less long ball football leading up to January than we did after January. Against Man Utd and Arsenal for example, for long spells our football was good, very good. That short shift in approach mainly coincided with the Jan arrivals anyway, but once the dust had settled so to speak, the long ball soon reappeared to the point where we used it a lot, even in Europe. Our football hasn't really improved at all, if anything its worse given the higher calibre of players/more options. http://i41.tinypic.com/2z8c09f.jpg Stop posting facts man, they get well in the way of popular opinion. There's a good boy. Facts. Graphs with no axis labels nor accompanying explanations are now facts!? It's fucking nonsense man you daft shite.

All Taylor does is say it's tight. What a fucking sales montage they've put together there. Someone needs a medal.
