Nice effort, Owen.

He's got crap players. But leaving our best defender on the bench? Best left back? One of our only creative midfielders? Smith instead of Viduka? Not using a sub until you're 3-1 down? We'd have more points if BSA was still in charge tbh. You were doing well until the last point you made. You can't really slag him off for something hypothetical. Not like you can prove him wrong.

This.

Get Harper on

Would you like the Tyne Bridge dismantled and rebuilt closer to home, while you're at it?

They're going to host Wigan vs Boro on the moon. It's a bit far away, but the atmosphere should be better.

Fucking hell. Last time I saw something like that, Princess Leia was chained to it.

The bad news is that a fans from USA and ASIA are going to win these extra subs places in a prize draw.

Bit unfair. Toontastic wasn't so bad.

Don't mind the games being played overseas, it's the way league will go from being a true test of a teams worth to the lottery of a neutral game. What happens if the difference between 6th and 10th is decided because we got Man Utd, and Villa or whoever got that season's Derby? As with the play-offs, NUFC will be the first to suffer. Why don't they have the FA cup and league cup semis abroad? The Fa Cup semis are neutral venues to start with, the games will be meaningful to the overseas fans, and worth the extra expense to the true fans.

Owen is clearly saving himself for Newcastle, the unpatriotic cunt. Gerrard man of the match.

Why does Motty laugh when the ball is intercepted? He's senile.

The fans who were booing are now olé-ing. They think they're at a pantomime.

Opta stats - Best tacklers (Tackles made - success rate) Reo-Coker 122 80% Mascherano 103 76% Clichy 101 83% Malbranque 96 79% Butt 95 71%

I'd bet Moyes would still be still interested in him. He's a useful player, who hasn't been used properly. Stick him in front of a couple of decent midfielders, leave him to do what he's good at and let them worry about winning the ball back.

I'll do what I want, thank you very much. If you don't like my posts, why don't you stop reading them, then?

I've been a few times this season, six times overall now, but that one the other day felt most like 'my first time' again, if you get what i mean. Thought it was really good. Level seven, watched for the very first time, Level se-e-e-even, Where their fans sit, Next to mine. They all have amnesia and so need the photos to remember every aspect of their life. They also have their cameras set to 'letterbox aspect' so it looks just as they remember it.

As long as Owen doesn't get injured for next week, and as long as Bentley and Wright-Phillips aren't injured for us next season.

That's a big assumption you're making there, isn't it? I know it's a popular opinion (esp. among certain season ticket holders, funnily enough) that "being there and seeing it all" equates to amazing football expertise but, let's face it, that's bollocks. I'm only a season ticket holder, but when the away games are on tv, I'm going to get pissed and watch it from far away, at a weird angle. And get someone to stand my way every so often. Naturally I'll spend most of the time singing and jumping about rather than watch the game, but I'm sure following these instructions will give me the insight that uberfans have.

I thought exactly the same. What a complete waste of time that must have been for someone to compile all that. Would have been better off looking at Alan Smiths strike rate, Joey Barton's criminal record and Geremi's receipts from the Stanna stair lift company.

I'm a Cacapa fan, but I bet a lot of the praise for him today will be partially down to his clearance when Given parried Wheater's shot. Not realising it was Cacapa's fault Wheater got the shot in to start with. Gary O'Neill completely raped him at one point, he's not exactly Ronaldo, is he?

Some reasons why we're staying up: <snip> No fixtures <snip> God, you'd think we lived in China or something. Basically, the gist of it was that most of the teams below us have to play each other a few times.

What a load of nonsense. Please elaborate on your views Wullie. So you don´t agree that after scoring a goal (one goal) after 3 games without a goal we should try to score another? Yeah right be real man. I reckon we are twice as likely to succeed by defending a lead than to score another with our so called strike force. You just said "typical Keegan always attacking", now you're advocating attacking? Make your mind up. I'm talking about the game today, and I'm not advocating attacking after we scored, where do I say that? Make YOUR mind up and read what I said "So you don´t agree that after scoring a goal (one goal) after 3 games without a goal we should try to score another?" Yes I do agree that we should have tried to score another, and we did try. Glad we cleared that up. Okey, let me refrase that then.......So you think that after scoring a goal after 3 games without a single goal we are more likely to score another than defending our lead with 30 mins to go? 3 games without a goal, two of which were away at the Emirates you mean? Of course we should be trying to kill a game off at home against Middlesbrough. Don't see the point in this argument. When Boro scored we had nine men behind the ball. If we'd been caught on the counter, I'd see where perineum was coming from.

Why don't you put a bet on it, then? You'll get about 16/1. Obviously the bookies know nothing.

Definitely. At least Boro came here with the intention of having a go, unlike most of the sides this season. You're joking surely. 4-5-1 and kick the shit out of the opposition anti football, which is what Southgate always says he doesn't do (and usually doesn't tbf). They had a go when they had to at 1 down. Bit harsh calling their contribution to the game 'anti-football' when we played for an hour with the sole tactic of Given hoofing it up to Smith, who couldn't do anything but back into the defender whinging for free-kicks.
