I used to go with a few mates all the time when I was at school - we had a load of songs but I can't remember any others now!

I went to Gateshead Stadium Was on the 9th of June Nineteen hundred and ninety-four On a summer's afternoon I took the bus from Kwik Save And she was heavy laden Ganning along Prince Consort road That's on the road to the Stadium...

Dangerous Dave Kitson

Agree with the conclusion obviously, but I don't think his injury record can be described as 'a disgrace'. That suggests it's his fault and/or he chose to be injured.

I'd rather just see it in the football section, easy enough to ignore the silly threads.

I'm seriously considering not looking at a website or SSN at all as soon as the season ends... will be madness. That said, I'll probably be checking in every day

Aye, the message that would put out would be massive. Our most important transfer of next season, potentially wrapped up this season. 12m would be a fucking bargain too. Just goes to show once again that british players are waaaay over priced, if it's true. This plus Owen resigned and we're cooking on gas. Might help to attract another couple of quality additions too.

I'm actually getting excited about this one, would be excellent to see us getting a quality deal done early on for a change.

Good shout with Lescott, definitel worth a place although Vidic has been class.

Is someone injured then? I would have thought another unchanged lineup...

We need someone who 'treats the ball as a friend', in the words of the Pro Evo commentators! Not seen him play, but seems a yes from the clips I've seen and things I've heard.

That's funny as owt - Italy, the last stronghold of the facist and prejudiced.

Surely that's the case yeah, just a lower margin when there's more intermediaries. That little paragraph is fantastic though It is hilarious, but I bet there's a few cheesed-off sports retailers now. After they bought a load of mackem shirts and now the club is telling the fans not to buy them

Oh Habib Beye, Oh Habib Beye...

Surely the club sells the shirts wholesale to the retailers in the first place? Someone must be making money from them, or is it just the manufacturers? I would have thought the club would make something from every shirt, no matter where it's sold.

It's a difficult balance, I agree with everyone saying we should be looking for a understudy to Enrique. Needs to be someone young enough to settle for second position most of the time but good enough to fill in when required. And given that Jose is so young, whoever it is won't have the prospect of replacing him in the long term either, which makes it even more difficult to find somebody suitable.

Hughes-O'Brien-Bramble-Bernard. They had better players in front of them though in general. Yep, I guess we had just managed to put the emphasis on attack/playing our own game at that time as well, much like we're doing now. I suppose the more any defender is asked to defend, the more mistakes they'll inevitably make (see Distin/Campbell recently). Even worse when those defenders are actually shit.

Some muppets will boo anyone. It was bad enough our fans boing the team when they were trotting out utter shit every week, but for any Man Utd player to get booed this season is lunacy.

To be fair, we could also list a seemingly-awful back four that qualified for the champions league. - so I don't know what to believe

A tried and testesd suggestion - Shorey?

Next up: football clubs call for ban on Sunday morning church attendance.

The boro keeper struck me as a bit Reidesque at the weekend... not the lightest fella. When he nearly got chipped and gradually collapsed over backwards it was hilarious

I confess I thought Alan Smith might be a decent signing as well.

I think even though Enrique is quality it would be very wise to add another LB in the summer, we don't have any decent cover in that position at the moment. Plus competition for places is always good.

I don't get why people keep saying this, when did we claim we expected to win trophies? We just want a positive team that can give anyone a game, and if silverware comes with that then great. Lazy, predictable comment.
