Mick

I hope he doesn't give the same speech to the players as he gives to the press before a game, I thought that we were playing Man U or Chelsea on Tuesday, not Derby.

If he does then he should be shot with shit. Lovenkrands for Best would be the only sensible change. I wouldn't mind if we kept the starting 11 from Friday and tell them its up to them to earn a start.

I love reading this type of thread, it's like watching an AA meeting on the tele.

I loved the Pink, it was a good read for the first hour or so in the pub, especially the non-league section if I'd scored the previous week.

Was it your English lesson?

Metro Radio started off going to the games 5 times as that was the limit and then they started doing the full second half before doing the full match. The Pink was about as good as you could get before that. Supporters are spoiled rotten these days.

Old bastard.

I've never been pissed on, I've walked through it at the back of the Gallowgate and somehow managed to avoid anything worse than that.

Don't leave it at that, what happened after you started to support the mackems?

Gazza is a flawed genius, I could never wish him any harm, I'd love him to beat his addiction and then enjoy the rest of his life.

GMTV will be live in France tomorrow learning more about the real Vanessa Perroncel. What a load of shit.

Probably not but we're good at being the first to do the unexpeted.

The Leazes corner became the singing section for two reasons. The first was that the away fans who were put in the corner made a massive amount of noise and it was thought that the acoustics were better in the corner. That's probably right as the corner has two walls for the sound to bounce off and it's thrown towards the pitch. The other reason was to put the away fans at the end of the Leazes which meant that we had less empty seats due to segregation. That was a good move by the club and it wasn't Ashley who made the decision, it was the Chairman at the time.

If I didn't get a free ticket then I'd pay to see it. Is that better?

I'd pay money to see that.

I hope that it was.

That is now officially confirmed.

If I had the choice to see the mackems or Blackburn go down I'd probably go for Blackburn.

I'm bored.

He got 2 in 13 minutes which is much more productive than his 62 minute hattrick when he started against Plymouth.

I didn't think Nolan did much either, like I said somewhere else we can live with 1 passenger. Barton could make a massive difference to us if he comes back fit and focused on becoming a footballer once again.
