i dont

different strokes, best view is from east stand imo but i also appreciate being able to see the flow of the game from level 7.

go to the newcastle arms before the match, its a proper pub with great pre match atmosphere, really packed and busy but surprisingly doesnt take too long to get served. its also about 1 minutes walk from SJP. dont fucking go to whitley bay.

they all are now mate

eurgh

are you familiar with the word 'confidence' and how it can affect a footballers performance?

it's just actually dawned on me that this is tonight, feels so weird having a game on a friday

Not average for this league though. How many other Championship sides have a collection of defenders that cost £15-£20 million and a collection of midfielders that cost £15-£20 million? If you're trying to say that the midfield isn't average then got to say you're wrong. On price they're worth more than most, but on ability they're shizzite. The midfield certainly look poor a lot of the time - but are they really that bad or is the manager not getting it right either with his team selection or with his tactics? BTW I don't claim to know the answer to that question. they're really that bad. no amount of coaching will improve nicky butt's passing, or kevin nolan's unwillingness to get fit, or alan smith's refusal to turn towards the opponents goal when he's got ten yards of space at least on all sides. and that's barely skimming the surface of their deficiencies.

obviously them going down would be better but i'm more than happy to live with them having a shit season and just staying up.

imagine, just imagine. if he comes here and does well, this might actually be the end of shola

23? strong? fast? 9 goals this season in our division? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

bags of potential imo, skillful, pretty quick, decent finish. he pisses all over all our strikers thats for sure.

that would make sense, as he mentions us being the PLAYERS preferred option, but money talks. i.e. money didnt affect the selling club, but the player.

Caulkin saying this... 'Nufc definitely after another striker, but have to be honest, I don't know who it is.'

Yeah he apparently gets to games whenever he can and is often seen out in town. being a twat

this, we must get promoted at all costs, and next year we've got to stay up. you bring in the younguns when we're comfortably safe in the league AND they look like they'll add something.

It will say alot about Ashley if he allows Whelan to win the battle without a fight. i'm not sure i want the club to be ran on the premise of out doing a different club no matter what the issue. we should be looking after ourselves and forgetting about the fortunes of every one else.

You can see why Liverpool let him go. He's weak as piss and loses the ball far too easily. That's the point. But how's that relevant at all? Liverpool let him go because he's not good enough for Liverpool, he is good enough for us. He isn't good enough for us for the same reasons he was allowed to leave Liverpool. Like I said he's too weak and loses possession and hope. He can't even make a mark dropping down a division. All this bollocks about him being played out of position doesn't excuse him for losing 50/50's and not being able to hold the ball under the slightest pressure. and that pressure comes a lot faster when you're playing in the middle. unless you pretend you're a centre half like a butt and smith and only ever face our goal.

can see why he'd do it though mate, they're a selling club, he has a couple of good seasons and he'll end up in a decent team.

trying to to do too much imo. our midfield looked so bad yesterday i'm not sure i can blame him. i'd keep him if we go up but i wouldnt want him first choice. jonas and routledge and two new lads in the middle, surely those running the team can see how badly we need reform in CM?

invariably gets into a position to score at least once even if he's only got ten minutes to do it, a bit more composure and time on the pitch and he could be pretty reliable.

This,maybe some people think we are better than we are. I'm sorry but this is just pretentious - high-horse bollocks. People are complaining that we let a side, who've lost three on the bounce, not scored in four, just play out their game when they were down to ten men - showing no attempt to attack them until the last ten/fifteen minutes. This whole thing about us 'demanding' victories is a fucking myth. No one sees it as a given right, people would just rather we attempted to go for it a bit more often, which is absolutely fair enough. this, all we're asking for is evidence of testicles.

post of the year, by a mile

Wigan are gay if he goes there he's aknob. correct. a nothing club with a t*** chairman. and beaten at home today, 2 points off relegation. make the right decision victor. having said that i hope to god he doesnt see our line up for the game today and just think 'f*** that'. ...or 'I can get into that!' he's an attacking player though

what a fucking surprise
