I have been thinking about Joe for a while now. I always base any player on the Frank Pingel platform. My feeling many years ago, was that he was by far the worst striker I had ever seen. Today I decided to search YouTube and found his first goal this game has two significances for today. I know Now I have been unduly harsh to poor Frank over alll these years, in one game he shows more desire and goal scoring ability than our current number 9. Also in this game we looked more likely to survive than the present shell of a side. BTW I loved the Glen Roeder comment early on . I would love for one of our players today to be described as such.

Tommasson mk2, thauvin mk2, Cabella mk2,etc. Just another foreign player who can’t cut it in the big league. Like someone said before he’ll end up in turkey or Russia. No No No. Al, of these players had soemthing and went on to better things at other clubs. I have always thought no player up front can ever be worse than Frank Pingel. Certainly Joel offers less than Frank, and at least Frank tried.

Disgraceful how he walked away from the fans at the end of the game. Truly woeful performance, with no input from a premier league manager.

Was also our captain at this time. Our only regret of any signing we made. Self-serving and with a paper heart. Michael Owen, born in Wales, welsh parents, welsh name, played for er england. Soulless man lacking any trait that would make him a man. 79 appearances over 4 years, and most of these just to get fit to play for Wales sorry england. Small time striker, only thing he had was he was fast early in his career.

There never was a takeover, we have all been so duped. There was never any chance of a contract extension, hence the takeover nonsense to create a smokescreen. In my business we have excellent staff, what do we do? Tie them down as soon as possible - 6-9 months before the contract expires, if we want to keep them. God if I had world class staff, they would have a contract that they could name themselves, it would be worth its weight in gold. To leave it to the last week, only says one thing -never a chance of a contract. The takeover - surely every close season there is a takeover rumour. The questions are; Why do we continually fall for this? Is it blind hope, or blind stupidity in the face of reality (aka intellectual dissonance), or my god Ashley has some damn good PR company working for him (and hasn't he just signed up with one?). Like many others, this is different from previous regimes. I know that Ardilles is named by a few, but at least we did try to play some football, we were mostly being beat, but the joy was there to behold (remember Barnsley and Tranmere both away?). I have just today turned off every newsfeed for football and nufc, it is like being eaten alive from the inside by dementors.

Seen this player a few times - electric pace and a good goal scorer. Top player for Buriram in Thailand and was imperious. However, I have some very nasty memories of this player - first scored away from home (a good 10 m off side) against title rivals Chonburi FC, then promptly ran in front of home supporters - waving his shirt - on the running track. A riot broke out culminating in the team being locked in their changing rooms. The next game he played against Chonburi he went down clutching his head after heading the ball (a young bemused Chonburi defender was about 2 m away). The Chonburi player was sent off. The poleaxed player promptly jumped up. Later that half he elbowed a Chonburi player in the face (blood and bandages) - the Chonburi player was booked for diving! But his antics and the refereeing just reminds me how much Thai football makes my blood boil. Hope that he has improved his play acting and as he is young has also developed his game further.

In Ghent now. Off in a couple of minutes to find the ground. Really looking forward to this game today. Hopefully a good run out for all the players, with no injuries and helping build our team spirit for the coming months. Will keep an eye on Hanley today.

1 goal in three says that your research is s***. Still has the potential to be WC, dream player for me for us. Seen him play as a youngster - was amazing (this is where I am biased). If he did it here he could be a legend. Do remember Junhinio and his tenuous links with MC.

This is the worst I have ever seen from us. No passion, and no hope. Even when relegated and our run with ardilles, there was always a bright spark and small slithers of hope. Today there is none. Even Paul Simpson hoofing the ball to no-one up the wing was preferable to this lot. At least we can start looking forward to Leeds next season. I really just cannot understand the ineptitude of our management (not just the managers - but the directors too, and scouts). We have no style and no system at present. The only way I can see out of this is to get the scu*'s next manager before they do (Pearson) for a couple of years to get the passion and crowd onside. History will look very badly on our last few years - but end it will. I just hope that the end is on our terms, but know that the divorce will well and truely scre* us even more. :'(

Your comment is totally offensive. I stood and watched this fire, my friend was in east stand that day. One of my neighbours did not make it out. It has taken me and a lot of others years to fully come to terms with what happened. There is no evidence that the fire was started accidentally (you just have not read any report of this have you?) You even state that the article was written by soemone who wants to make money from this. This comment is so disregarding of all fans who try to seek the truth. You stifler - yes I will name you again have riled my blood. You make offensive and unsubstiantiated accusations about thousands of fans. You really need to use that mass of material confined to your cranium, and not make accusations about men (yes men - not stifling little worms like yourself) who have suffered beyond reason. You also clearly know nothing about Higinbottom at all - yet he was the one who made money from the fire - yet accuse fans (those of us that are reall fdans of this) You disgust me with you ignorant and offensive comments. I hope that I never read one of your comments again. You are not worthy of this fans site or any other, crawl back to your nest

That song was about Howard Gayle. I remember being in the scoreboard in the 80's and it was towards Cunningham. The song went, He's black, he's broon, he plays for the toon, Cunningham, Cunningham to the tune of the Mickey Burns ditty I was in the Gallowgate this season, and Cunningham was never sung it was altered to a double oo. Unacceptable - yes, nasty - definitely no - he was well liked for his effort

Good letter, and sentiments here. I think that we all want to support a team that we are proud of, on and off the pitch. I watched the game with my indoctrinated son in complete apathy, whilst he savoured every kick and challenge. Perhaps it is me that is the symptom here. Never before have I had this feeling of staleness, even through dark kinnear days, or sourness, or the relegation doomed ardilles did I lose this faith - but now it has gone. I do not feel guilt, nor shame, in fact I have no feeling now just emptiness with no emotive response. It has taken 45 years for this affair to die, but like all things it is impermenant. Perhaps again it is me, living away from my home and watching football with my other mistresses (Universatario La U); and more recently my thai partner - Chonburi fc. We all have our reasons, to protest or not, but just remember every fan is just that fanatical. We all want to stand, and be excited and to cherish what is in front of us,. But equally we all have costs in our support - these are not comparable and only we know what these are. My costs are just that, as are every other single fan. None of us have the right to consider ours to be more "worthy" or comparable. To watch with the occasional wry smile is as supportive and the fist pumping screaming jump of joy - just appreciate that we all are in love. Our partner is with someone else for the time being, and we all know that. She will not stay there, we all know, time is on our side. Bide that time and wait - our love resurrection awaits - be patient as certainly she will be back for all of us.

That is just great knowing that our new director of football is a fully paid up member of mensa. Of course he will be brighter than any fan of Newcastle. We all know that we are idiots for supporting the toon. I was once told "the more you know, the more you know you don't know". Perhaps our brightest employee could inform us as it what it means, as apparently we are all too thick to understand. Or perhaps we have all been hoodwinked, and that he is just a fully paid up member. I know what I think (not that I have the cognitive ability to so).

There are about 20 western Chonburi Fans at every home game and a few at every away match. I travel from Banglamung, but I know others who travel from Pattaya, Sri RAcha and there is a group who travel down from Bangkok. A chap called Dale runs the web page in English which is pretty comprehensive. I am sure we can sort you out with a travelling companion

Went to watch Chonburi FC (in Thailand) last night against South China in the Group stages of the AFC Champions league. Our Nicky Butt was patrolling the midfield of South China. He as usual was very one paced, lots of short lay offs and one great pass from left to right wing that eventually came to nothing. He appears to be enjoying his pay day at least. With him was one Kezman - even more one paced than Butt, and offered nothing upfront against an inexperienced back four. Chonburi were a delight going forward, lots of one touch football, and great movement off the ball, and particularly down the right wing. Two players stood out the No 13 who appeared even older than Butt, and the No 8 who was very mobile. Both rang rings around the illustrious pair and their teammates. Disallowed goal after 13 mins after No 8 played right back in who squared it for the striker to be given offside when clearly behind the ball. End result was 3-0 after a bizarrely retaken penalty for what appeared to be the goalkeeper moving (when the ball went in). I also got a season ticket for 3,000 BAht including all Cup games and home shirt (total cost 60 quid). It is a pretty positive place to be around at the moment, especially after winning the FA Cup last season!

Where else do you suggest that the money will go. Have you ever read anything this man says? FFS man get a grip on yourself

Do Scotland have a football league?

Dale 'U' vamos Universatario!!

I am looking for clips video or sound of you're shit and you know you are and you don't know what you're doing. I cannot find any anywhere I search except some crap Razor ruddock for a presentation I am doing abotu raising levels of students performance. Any help would be appreciated.

Solano is currently playing for La U - we are top of the league and playing exceptionally well. He deserved this call up as he is an exceptional talent. If you paid £20 for a shirt here in Lima well you got seriously shafted - about a fiver for a walon shirt with name on, although a little spanish would help. Although I have no idea why you didn't but a shirt from Huancayo - their sporting team Deportivo Wanka. I have one sponsered by Siemens!!

I was at this game. The venom started after Blackburns first goal, from a drop ball in the area - after Speedie slid in late on our keeper injuring him. This should have been a free kick, our keeper had pssession of the ball. Speeie then scored in the second half and ran in front of us and gestured. A most foul man - even my wife was shouting abuse at him.

Having seen Swansea play several times in the last two years and my neighbour being an avid fan, I am somewhat biased, but Martinez is a very competent manager who encourages his teams to play fooball. Whether he is good enough will never be found out here, as there are so many obsessed with the BIG CLUB senario. We are a fotball club like any other, being a dumping ground for worn out stars is not the route to success. Lets face it even when Gordon Lee turned the club around, he was vilified for selling our STAR, but not honoured for his success. Will it ever change? Not in my lifetime unfortunately. Joe Kinnear is OUR manager ffs - his track record of BIG CLUB SUCCESS speaks for itself. We are where we are and have got what we deserve.

Vargas used to play left back for my other team Universitario in Lima. He played for them for a couple of seasons, when the club had severe cashflow problems, and the quality around him was poor. However, he was a cracking player, who had loads of natural ability, was technically excellent. His down sides were that he is not blessed with pace, and would often get caught out at the back after a surging run forward. I do remember one abslute blinder he scored from left backmaking a great run wide left, playing a 1-2 with I think Alva and volleying in from the edge of the box into the top right hand corner. I was right behind this and was up in the air as he shot - and against the mackems of Lima (Alianza)! He originally left for Argentina and then to Italy. he has always so far made the step up.
