Neil Sika happened.

Giggs is a slightly unique example because he has actually maintained about the same level of fitness throughout his career by working his arse off and staying flexible. He doesn't quite have the pace he did, but he still gets around the pitch incredibly well.

But I bet you woke up with a smile and instantly remembered an epic night on here First thing I did this morning was finish reading this thread. By clicking on the 'new' button as well.

I'm excited about all three of them TBH. We may as well give them a shot, I'm sick of having decent youngsters and never developing them properly. Would be nice if two or three could make an impact on the first team.

Wish I'd stayed up for the second half now. Thanks to everyone in this thread, and most of all Neil Stuka or whatever his name is.

FWIW I don't think it's about sell on value per se, it's more about not investing fortunes in players that will be worthless in a couple of years.

I was just about to go to bed as well, this is fucking mental. Can't stay for the second half.

Dis-Ba-ed, if you'll pardon the pun. Bogus as owt. Edit: ah shit, beaten to it.

I'm with him to be honest. Never mind though, they're getting someone out of the stable.

Oh shit, the keeper just got sent off. That's soured things a tad.

As if you've never said it. You like saying it. I said it this morning. If only I'd been back in the toon, I would have been understood perfectly.

Just click the little black 'New' button next to the thread title. Ha, never knew that. It's late.

I would go for Vuckic's entry for when he comes on.

Just making a note I'm on page 29 so I can read the rest of this tomorrow! Got to be hall of fame stuff.

THE HEBREW HAMMER!

What's Shola doing with a plum? Not his apple cycling routine again I hope.

Just try Firefox. Tried it first in Safari 505 but it didn't work, then opened Firefox and it's working beautifully. And oh, what a legend the commentator is! Got it working in Chrome on Mac if that helps, had to get the latest version of Silverlight though I think.

Slips it into the cracks, right canal. Nice.

It's honestly not bad. I'm enjoying it, the lad is doing a good job. He could use a co-commentator mind, but that's nitpicking.

"Hair similar to Carlos Puyol of Barcelona" He didn't even mention David Luiz FFS!

I've always pronounced it like that!

What a Shoment.

Presume it's just recording background noise at the moment, and the broadcast proper will start soon.

Shit, do I have to stay up and listen? I think I might you know.

That's absolute madness though. One defeat after a very respectable most-of-season in charge last year? No wonder people think Newcastle fans are unrealistic. Unrealistic not to lose to sunderland, where they've beaten us once in, what, 30 years? Are you fucking kidding me? Are you deliberately missing the point or what? I'm not saying we shouldn't beat them, obviously we should. What I'm saying is that Pardew shouldn't come under pressure if we lose. It's the second game of the season FFS. If he loses against opposition that his predecessor gave the arse-kicking of a lifetime less than a year ago, then of course he should be under pressure! You're the one who's convinced that we've got a better squad now than then, with that in mind, how is there any excuse in the world for losing that match? Mate, you're just making yourself look more moronic here. To say a manager should come under pressure after one defeat in the second game of a new season is absolute lunacy, no matter what the squad is like or who the opposition is. (BTW, I don't know if we have a better squad now than then. I've never said that, I just think we've made some decent signings and I hope we have.)
