Sifu

would love to know what barton says to him like. I dunno, but the chant that followed that was the greatest thing I've ever heard at SJP. There's nothing quite like thousands of people singing "Joey, knock him out. Joey Joey knock him out"

Thought it was time for me to offer my review, Overall reflections In typical NUFC style, it has been one rollercoaster of a season. So many ups and downs, so many differing emotions for us fans. But all in all, I'm very content on how this season has went. Sure we were 2 minutes away from 9th place but 12th place for a newly promoted club is an achievement in itself especially when the key objective was survival. We just have to build on this finish and aim for at least the top half next season. High Moment Beating the Mackems 5-1, what a day that was. The 6-0 against Villa and the 4-4 against Arsenal deserve mentions. Low Moment For me, it was Chris Hughton's sacking. I hadn't felt so low as a NUFC fan for a while until that Monday when his sacking was announced. The man was the reason we were back in the PL and was doing a decent job at the time. (Pardew's won me over though). Best Player Fabricio Coloccini. The man has been an absolute rock in our defence. He has made the odd mistake here and there but he has definitely been consistent. Best Individual Performance Ben Arfa against Everton. Absolutely controlled the left wing and caused Everton a lot of problems. His goal wasn't bad either Best Buy Cheik Tioté, without a doubt. Most Improved Joey Barton for me. He has had an excellent season and has contributed so much to the team. I couldn't have cared less if he had left before this season. But now it is imperative to secure him on a new contract (looking unlikely though :/)

Anyone who wants to watch Owen's reception at SJP again, go search for "michael owen return" on dailymotion.

Hope Joey Barton sends Owen a tweet....

People in the Far East love Alan Smith too (like my cousin ).

Michael Owen, such a deluded fool.

My feelings exactly.

Yep.

Owen is on holiday, too. He signed today. Except Owen would actually drop everything, leave his family behind and take the first flight back to Manchester from wherever he is if there was a chance to extend his stay at Man U or there was an offer from a "big" club.

Woot

Lucky t***. Didn't think SAF would be that stupid! Ah well, at least we can give him that reception again at St. James'.

Unsurprisingly and unfortunately, Blatter is set to remain as FIFA President. Looks like they're not going to postpone the election so Blatter, as the sole candidate, will win. :no: Bunch of w****rs.

Pathetic from FIFA really.

Brilliant.

:'(

Yeah, I'll go with that too.

Switzerland, KO at 4:45pm. Live on ITV1.

Real or not, that is a funny tweet

Didn't realise that there's an Euro 2012 qualifier on Saturday.......

@Fur10ng PMF NUFC agree 4.5m fee with Liverpool.......... More to follow, you heard any @joey7barton? we dont want you to go!

Of course he is

Right, having read a couple of articles, it seems that Ben Arfa's fitness was the main reason for being dropped. Hardly NUFC's fault that: ^this basically.
