Bit classless from some on here, that's a bloody horrible injury to a ex player who was a key component to our last truly succesful side. Wish him all the best.

I wish they would replace craig forrest on sports net here in canada the man is just clueless "the owner there Mike Ashley has a lot to say but there's no action in the transfer market, he needs to out his money where his mouth is"

Credit to the Mackems, great result this for them, that'll get their tales up even further for our game

That Colback for Mackems is garbage, hope they play him in there against us. This will be a massive point though for them, their luck they had all last season, appears to be carry on to this on.

Which page is the team news on ?

I don't like to wish a bad injury on any player, but my hate of the Mackems tells me to hope that's a serious one for Gyan.

Carragher is bloody awful, think Liverpool really need to invest in another CB if they want to do anything this season.

Carroll has been wasteful today.

I honestly don't understand this type of comment. The mackems are our rivals not Liverpool, so they have more ambition than us and have bought a couple of our best players, ffs get over it.

That was a great goal by the dirty mackems, gotta say think Larsson will be an important player for them this year. Think we should have been in for him personally.

Depends a lot on the start we make. If we struggle we could easily be in for a long hard battle to stay up, but if we get an early win we could make mid table. I'll go for 14th which I think is optimistic but I guess pre season should be glass half full than empty

Really sad that we are left in a situation like this were we have to pick between these two useless waste of spacers. Still I guess there was nothing we could do as this is last minute stuff no possible way we could have forseen this situ /sigh

I'm no perch fan but I would take him at lb over rtaylor any day of the week , taylor's barely a rb

Perch will start saturday for sure. Criminal we don't have anyone through the door before allowing Jose to speak to Liverpool.

I think we'll be alright this season, due largely to the fact that none of the 3 teams that have come up are doing anything in the transfer market to suggest they are not likely to struggle badly. Don't forget also how downright rotten teams like Wigan and Wolves were last year, have they improved in the close season. So there's really more than enough talent to assure another PL season after this one. Having said that, this was the case a couple of years ago and that didn't stop us dropping. It's key for us to pick up something from a tough early season schedule, otherwise I can see things blowing up, the fans are simmering at the moment a bad start and it could turn poisonous pretty fast.

Wow game changed completely around. Cleverly caught my eye, could be a big season for him.

I've only watched the last 20 mins or so, but it looks like men versus boys out there. ManShitty just look so much stronger than Manure right now.

Yeah flight probably gets in Friday night around 1159pm

Something else that needs to be considered at this point is his fitness levels, what's he doing in Ghana to tune up for the season, how's he gonna get match fitness. This is a major cock up by the club, something that unfortunately is not uncommon.

Every stream I've found online (including on my iPod Touch) is the FM feed, which is the mackems. Aye same here, just wondered if someone who's got better internet skills had found something. Bit annoying really, the coverage of our friendlies this season has been very poor. I tried Digitally imported app for my Andrioid based Motorola Xoom but that sucks, can't even search, Tune in doesn't let you pick the DAB feed, haven't tried my iphone yet.

So the internet is their FM programme ? So no coverage of the game for those using the internet ? FFS who the fuck cares about the inbreds versus some scottish no hopers ?

WTF got the stinking dirty makems game on Tune in app. Stuck with that for us using the internet to listen to Radio Newcastle ?

I can't believe there is even a debate, Forster failed to take his chance and Harps is clearly on his last legs as a keeper, Krul the number 1.

Source ?

It only takes one little hiccup. I've been in the situation where you have to go back home to renew your visa when working abroad, for working in the US that renewal process usually took a couple of weeks. But the one thing that was consistent with my renewals is that I was ble to schedule them at a time the was convenient for me. Perhaps when he was rested at the ended of the season, or maybe straight after the last game. Totally avoidable.
