We are finished! Championship football.

I don't understand KK's team selection or subs.

What is Barton doing there?

Looks like it is not our day, lads.

Rovers changing their strike force. Hope they're not up for it like Santa Cruz and McCarthy.

BUTT this is your conscience speaking, "you can't continue."

FCK MEEE

C'mon!!!

Smith Is FUCKING SHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wake up, chaps! Half-time is over.

We have to stop giving the ball away so cheaply.

no

No changes for the toon!

Encouraging in parts, but really lost it in the last 10 minutes of the half. And now we go into the second half where we have been playing with confidence all season, especially as of late.

Giving the ball away deep too much at the end of the game and VERY nervous defending. How long before we collapse?

Barton and Butt OFF!!!!!

Are we trying to lose it!

What is up with KK's team selection? What is going to change today? Nothing! Poor, poor, poor.

Poor!!! Smith, Butt and Barton and no Zog = Loss. Good thing the game isn't on the tele.

Me too. Rovers have had a good run going in the northeast, too. Also, I just can't see KK dropping Butt, Smith or Barton - even though he needs to. I just don't see us getting a win. I'm going for a drab draw or another home thumping by the visitors. The lads just don't have any fight in them and that's exactly what is needed to avoid relegation.

Considering we had two full weeks to prepare for ManU and to reverse the stench from a 6-0 drubbing, I really don't think this team has the fight in them to keep us from relegation on our own. We are really going to need the results from the teams below us to go in our favor. However, the scum, wigan, brummies, etc are battling harder than we are. Also, troubling is we don't really have anyone to put in CM. Emre (hurt more than health), Barton (poor), Butt(poor), Zog(questionable attitude), Smith (poor), Geremi (poor). We are getting destroyed in the CM and not providing cover for a weak center of defence. Our midfield is in shambles. I still think we will stay up, but KK is going to need to radically change things and I don't think he is up to it. The teams he is putting out are not playing for us, him, or themselves. Getting beat 11-1 over two games with ManU is a farce, let alone not beating Derby this season. Hard to stay positive. We are a joke.

The Marca article: http://www.marca.com/edicion/marca/futbol/internacional/es/desarrollo/1078546.html Anyone speaks a bit of spanish? From the La Marca: Camacho will probably manage in England next season, 2008-2009, even though he would like to return to Spanish Football after his time at Benfica. Everything seems to indicate that the team with which he has reached an tentative agreement with is Newcastle, if it is true the ex Spanish manager has not made any comment to that respect. Comacho's contacts with English Football, specifically with the "magpies", were initiated before the Christmas season. The offer from the Premier League was brought to him by his Portugese representative Jorge Mendes, well known in England and with excellent relations with English Clubs by representing managers like Jose Mourinho and players like Cristiando Ronaldo, Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira. Hope that helps.

If we get past Stoke, we will have to play Arse away twice in 3 days

Lads, World is up and running.

Anyone know if Faye is cup-tied?
