He's crocked anyway with no return date. I don't rate him but we now have Taylor banned, Barton, Gosling & Ireland injured, Tiote 1 yellow from a 2 game ban and Nolan and Barton 2 yellows from a 2 game ban. We aren't in a position to loan players out.

loved the bit about Sir Bobby and the helicopter

Actually just checked the reserves fixtures and they play away at West Ham on the 15th march but play Everton at the training ground on the 29th march, can see HBA getting a run out then and then be on the bench against Wolves.

will probably need reserve games first to get match fit and his sharpness and while the Arsenal reserve game at SJP in a couple of weeks might come a bit early i wonder if they re-arrange the Man U game for the end of March.

I think its cos Ashley sells all our best players.

no idea about the fed brewery but i know he was in town with Best, Nolan, Barton, Taylor and a few others including Paul Kitson celebrating Nolans dads birthday on Saturday night

Stevie Folan was the other centre half alongside Henderson last season, I've seen Folan play a few times and he's looked decent.

anyone know what price Benzema was for 1st goalscorer tonight?

we've took the gamble and booked our digs for Blackpool so with our luck that will get moved.

yes i agree thought it was brilliant when Celtics 3rd goal went in and the whole ground was bouncing. I suggested the song and put a clip on a couple of weeks ago but apparently we would sing it too fast and spoil it!

more likely we don't want to risk the 1st team players on a bumpy pitch and we have 19 players in Italy so have postponed it as we can't field a team!

1900's, we were the Man U of that time, dominating the game, look at our league record, after finishing 6th in 1900-01, we were never out of the top 4 apart from 1902-3 and winning the league 3 times on 05,07 and 09 and 5 Fa cup finals if you include the 1911 season although we only won it the once in 1910. If we'd have won it in 05 we'd have won the double (not sure but i think we'd have been the first team to do that).

Thats a shocking penalty decision in the forest cardiff game

after what can probably be called a bit of shambles when not that many people turned up to the AGM, NUST are hosting a public meeting on Thursday night at Northumbra Uni and a chance for fans to debate the recent events that have being going on at the club. Its open to anyone so could be the perfect oportunity for the critics(and there's plenty on here) to go and tell them what you think they should or could be doing better or differently.

i'm sure i've seen that Cartwright play against my nephew, was a good player but was a cocky shit and had a bit of an attitude iirc.

I'm amazed hardly anyone has mentioned or picked Johan Cryuff.

Looking at that squad photo surely we'll be taking more than those 13 players, there's only 1 keeper and 3 defenders in that squad lol

I think Liverpool or Chelsea will win it. The winners of the Man U v Liverpool game play Chelsea in the semi final.

i bet he's glad he's got rid of his twitter and facebook accounts, could you imagine the grief he'd be getting with people telling him to stay and sign the new contract. He'd be getting bombarded with 100 messages a day.

Youth cup tonight away at Man U, presumably it will be live on mutv. Just seen that the winners will probably be away to Liverpool.

Hope he loves it here enough to take a massive £20k pw pay cut and sign a new contract??

Doing a very good job, just needs to cut the chat abit and not give the press the cliche stories ie big club, great support blah blah, just concentrate on doing the business on the pitch. I will say though that he's made us a better team now than we were under Hughton, all from just getting us pressing the ball higher up the pitch.

i don't get the singing to fast, everyone knows the tune and the song, just sing it normally.

In an ideal world we'll invest all the Carroll money( come on don't laugh) and at least £5-10m of the season ticket and sky money and we can bring in enough quality to strengthen the whole squad and make our squad strong enough to have a go in all the competitions next season. Be challenging for top 8 and push for a European spot if we can over achieve and also be able to have a go in the cups and not have to field the kids. In saying that i'd still like to blood a few of them in the cups as well.

Not often i agree with Steve bruce but he was right when talking about capello not coming up to the North East to watch the players, the only time he will watch the likes of Newcastle and Sunderland are when they are playing away and probably against a big team.
