  1. Fucking hate Rojo, absolute twat
  2. Swedish idiot commentator: "I've been really impressed with Big Sam here today" :anguish:
  3. No fucking way is that a penalty like
  4. Fat Mess would have been well happy with the first 40 minutes as well
  5. Thought he was driving at first, hopes were up for a drink driving charge/crashing his car on the way home. Then I remembered that you guys drive on the other side of the road. Who would shoot up Ashley man? The Wigan owner? His wife?
  6. Ridiculous as it is with the squad they've got, but Argentina wouldn't even be at the WC without Messi like.

  8. I’ve researched the history of the club quite extensively and while the author is kind of right, in fact he is right, NUFC as Newcastle United was ‘born’ in 1982, but as West End correctly folded and not merged East End become NUFC so technically the history of the club dates back 10 years earlier when Stanley were formed. They changed the name to East End as there was already a football team going by the name of Stanley. East End were formed by the cricket club by members who would play football as a hobby going back some 20 years or even more prior to 1881. It was only as the popularity of the sport grew did they decide to get in on the act with their own football team with many of the cricket team representing the football team. The record books show NUFC formed in 1882 but go through the records back to that era and you won’t find 1882 other than when the club become East End and then when West ceased being, Newcastle United. It was the 90s where the club latched onto 1982 which has since become synonymous with the club. I’ll celebrate Newcastle United as NUFC being 125 years old but we are probably more of a 150 year old ‘club’. Btw the club is historically one of the most important in the game, we have played several key roles in the development and formation of it from playoffs to offsides and replica shirts even. In the 20s fans who could afford a tailor would get black and white suits for Wembley which the less well off ripped off by painting their shirts black and white. NUFC fans were one of the first set of fans to attend matches decked out in club colours. Also and I found this quite funny, not long after the club moved to SJP where fans basically stood on wooden boards around a marked out pitch to avoid getting bogged down in mud (the pitch was literally on a hill and when it rained it become a mud bath), a fruit and veg stall would do a roaring triad in tomatoes which were bought to throw at players who basically didn’t perform. The opposition were always applauded for their efforts though and NUFC spectators would soon get a reputation as a tough crowd to please for the home team, but a sporting lot for the visitors who would relish a trip to Newcastle. There are traces of this kind of mentality today in the stands. I love the history of our club, it’s shame the fat c*** has pretty much destroyed the last 10 years or so if it. Time for a new chapter... Yep I do find it odd that they use 1892 as the founding year when it really only the establishment of the current name and the move of the club to SJP as they took over West End's assets. The following year we joined the football league and started the most successful period in the club history, shame non of us were around to witness it. Barely posts anymore, but Mick was.
  9. Is the line about them perhaps not having that much cash because they met in a cheap curry house?

    Football pet hates

    When was the last time an indirect free kick in the box was actually given in the PL? There was definitely one given in one of the FA Cup games on Sunday, I saw it on the live highlights show that was on BBC. Which way was the player moving?
  11. Six days before the match?! From what I'm hearing, they definitely won't have trained on Monday and even Tuesday probably wasn't the best session. Night out in Sthlm? Apparently

  13. Rumours that Leicester had their Christmas party in Sweden on Sunday. Won't be a bad thing for us, you'd imagine.
  14. How's that? If they draw and Atleti win, Atleti go through on H2H don't they? Aye, you're right, sorry. For some reason I thought Roma had better h2h.
