Stevie

Why risk injury when they have a FA cup final coming up? To get certain players match fit and prepared for next season. Mourinho done exactly that today. Ferguson infact said earlier this week he was going for the win and he was taking this game seriously. What a load of bollocks. Straight when i saw the united team i knew West Ham were gonna survive. Get certain players match fit? like who? Manu did go for the win and they did dominate the first half. Well Ferdinand, vidic and Neville for a start. Vds, Evra, Carrick and Rooney are the only players that would have started if United were picking there full strength team. Ye sharp back kingdawson.

How long was Wembley designed to last? It can survive a nuclear explosion, so indefinitely.

We didn't sign Lionel Perez from Sunderland because he was out of contract. Bracewell is right. my apologies i stand corrected No worries

Lee "Judas Mackem c***" Clark is possibly the right answer although technically it could be Robbie Elliott. I think its been a long long time since there was a proper transfer between Libpool and Man Utd though. They went the other way, he means TO the toon FROM Sunderland, and it's Paul Bracewell.

Livorno fans hate Fiorentina, and as you say "il derby d'Italia" is their biggest fixture. I always thought "The derby of Italy" was Internazionale v Juventus...? no

Him that was released from Man Utd, Ramon Calliste Paul Bracewell

Andrei Kanchelskis, I wasn't aware there was a Firenze derby. Tuscan derby against Livorno maybe?

I got 81/100 at my first go.

Stevie, I would pay a lot of money to see you get Oliver's job. Imagine the Chronicle billboards around town. "BIG MATCH PREVIEW: NUFC V THEM SPURS C*NTS" "WALLPUSHERS MATCH REPORT" "TRANSFER LATEST: NUFC LINE UP SOME SPANISH C*NT" At least Shepherd wouldn't have me in his pocket.

FORGET ABOUT ALL THIS PISH 4FS AND CONCENTRATE ON MY ONE MAN CAMPAIGN TO EITHER GET THE CHRONICLE TO GIVE OLIVER'S JOB TO ME, OR SOME CUNT ELSE!

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I'm 99% sure I'm not regarding the bit in bold. That is in response to comments on this thread. When has he EVER, put "United may not like what the Chronicle are reporting" PMSL. So blatantly in response to this. As if they give a f*** whether a delegation is in Monaco to speak to a third party gets reported or not. What difference does it make? Alan we all know you do as your told, such a pathetic attempt to suggest your anything but a yes man.

I think he's by and large a good ref, the abuse he gets is magnified by the fact he is the only ref I can think of, who has a song of abuse sung purely for him. In this respect he's just unlucky POLL rhymes with ARSEHOLE.

3 sent off iirc? Aye Midds, and Terry Mac sent to the stand. We hand on heart were the better team when we had 9 men, we were 2-0 doon and came back to 2-1 with 9 and looked like we could get a draw, then he sent O'Brien off, c***. I've got his address off www.b4usearch.com think he might have a fragrant christmas card with a Newcastle postmark on it this year. Hell hath no fury like a West-End lad scorned! You know it hehehe. Tell you what though, that day was comfortably my proudest as a toon fan. Pisses me off when people slag our support in the early 90's because our fans that were there were f****** great. That season, and we were absolute and utter s****, we'd regularly take 4 and 5,000 away, arguably the best away support in the country alongside Leeds and Man Utd at the time, only difference was they were at the top of the first and we were at the bottom of the second. I remember being at Southend NYD and we must've had nearly 2,000 fans there on NYD, bottom of the league, every c*** with hangovers, 12 lunchtime kick off, to see us lose 4-0. Anyway best referees I can remember were Roger Milford (RIP) and George Courtney, who despite being from Durham refereed the two play off games between Sunderland and The Toon, and did very well. Roger Milford was the best i've seen,when did he die,Stevie? I've got in my head he died, but I don't know when it was or how he died. If he's alive I apologise, but I'm sure he's dead.

Old school. blueyes.gif I'd be tempted to add Keith Hackett to those 2. Good shout, he always seemed to be the referees spokesman as well in the late 80's and early 90's.

No disrespect but I've found that people from these backward Eastern European and East Med countries, judge everything by Serie A. You're only saying this because he did well in Italy. I'd rather have Souness and Saunders back than Sven and Turd Grip.

I forgot another absolute cunt. BRIAN CODDINGTON, SHEFFIELD. All those who were at the Baseball Ground 1992 know why.

Beardsley by a mile, my tribute to Peter which I wrote a few years ago.....

To be quite frank with all you Newcastle Onliners, I genuinely think Mike Riley is the biggest c*** referee that has ever lived, not just as a referee, as a bloke as well he's c***. That sending off of Robert against Arsenal the arsehole, spoiled the game and was completely unnecessary, there are many, many other examples of his utter foolishness and bastardisation of the laws of the game, particularly where the toon are involved.

Jimmy Smith?, Branco, Mark Dennis, Josimar, divvint naa, Claudio Caniggia bloke beside Josimar for Norn Iron could be Colin Clarke

He likes to bring it to people's attention that he's quite well known in football circles. "Was at the awards ceremony the other night, and who should I bump in to but only my old mate Pele, he downed 2 pints in 30 seconds, he's still the same 25 years after the first time we met!"

Spot on. It is a disgrace. I tell you something though, I bet he reads this poll. Aye you, ye ugly prick sort it oot!
