garth

I use it for the replays of the games and of course the radio streams, when there is nothing else available. I once sent them an e-mail asking irf they were ever going to show live streams of their games and was told by them that the F.A. wouldn't allow it at the moment but they are looking into doing it in the future.

I feel our biggest problem with squad is definitely the midfield, we don't have a play maker at the moment, can't wait for Emre to get a proper game or even Barton if we are going to play 4-3-3, which it seems we are! I would like to see Zoggs, Emre/Barton and Geremi. Would love to see Deco here hopefully King Ashley gives Sam the cash for someone like him. I myself would like to see Sam see out his full term only then when he gets the players who can play his beloved 4-3-3 can we really judge him.

Name & shame all these people What the fuck! is this the Spanish Inquisition?

Well we have certainly a long way to go before we a cohesive unit, Big Sam certainly got his tactics badly wrong today why oh why! does he persist with Smith, Butt and Geremi we should have had Emre and Enrique on much earlier. Well done Man City! they played really well and deserved the win.

Could somebody translate this for me. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't know why you guys dislike the 4-3-3 system, it's a good compromise between attacking and defending and when we are playing away, certainly a good system to use so I think Gallowgate's choice would be ideal in this situation. I will go for a 2-0 win for us, I'm going to be an optimist.

How was the game?

Anybody would be an improvement over Carr.

A good win by the lads, although West Ham were a bit unlucky at times liked the look of our defense, Viduka played well "not bad for a fat aussie" I haven't felt this good about our defense for quite a while, have to say Zoggs should have got MOTM he was awesome today created and scored a goal which he fully deserved.

John Terry sounds like a proper cunt, he seems to be getting to big for his boots needs to be brought down to earth.

Agree with whole heartedly

I think it will be sad if Mourinho leaves English Football he is one of the great characters of the game. His quotes alone are enough for me for him to stay, never alone him being a good Manager.

If Shearer is involved, I can't see Sam staying, Shearer was the reason he didn't take the job in the first place when we got Souness as Manager

You guys need to get a grip here, considering our performances from the last 3 seasons I thought we did quite well, for me it was a good game tactically! their defence and ours did very well I thought which is a great relief from our part, considering how shit we were in the past. I mean fellow Toon supporters it's only our second game for fuck sakes! things can only get better in my view from here on, I'd rather we take some positives out of this rather than negatives, all in all we didn't lose which makes a change from our past.

The most sensible thing I've seen written so far.

Obviously Gartside sounds like a desperate old queen, because Sam had the sense to come to a better club and was never really going any further with Bolton. The poxy old fool should just keep the mouth shut.

Certainly two good acquisitions that would be.

I wish that was true, love Heinze to come to the Toon.

I have to say I agree with Gemmill, Geremi would be a waste at right back he's been so commanding in midfield.

He was awesome. I remember everyone raving about him after that, thinking he'd really push on. Excellent display from him the whole match, up front by himself. He bullied Desailly at SJP and scored an excellent goal from outside the box. He was closely marked and held Desailly off and scored on the turn. Someone might remember when that was? Err, that was Shearer. Ameobi's goal in that match was a left foot shot from about 15 yards out iirc, into the bottom corner? Err, no it wasnt, it was right foot just on the edge of the area, Leazes end and it went into bottom right. Ball from mid-way, chests it down and turns Desailly. I'll bet money on it. I still think that was Shearer not Ameobi.

It was Drogba-esque tbh. Not saying i'm a massive fan but he has shown he has got ability in the past. Wasn't that Shearer who did that? I'm pretty sure it was.

That's the line up I would go with, I'd say 0-0 result which wouldn't be to bad considering it's our first game and a good tester for Sam and the boys.

A bloody good move from Sam it will only be better for him and the club in the long run, I would also like to see Troisi go out on loan as well as Edgar and not just to English clubs maybe some clubs in Spain would be good.

Thanks for the info

What time does the game start today?.
