I'll play if needed?

http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/mags-in-the-family.1279464/ Weird bunch.

I think we'all be fine. The first hour against Villa who have one of the strongest squads in the league and who have apparently dominated games, albeit failed to win many of them, was decent and we controlled it. We will have the odd bad day but we have pretty much a new squad so it's always going to take time. We have one of the best managers in the game.

Agreed, was quite an intimidating place to go in the winter months walking around them dark, shithole streets nearby. The time we beat them 1-2 when Nolan scored I went down on a minibus full of lads and because it had Gateshead Central on the side we came under attack.

Not surprised coke is popular at football, people start drinking at 6am before a 3pm kick off in London for example so always gonna be used really. Getting full of cowies is a bit daft though.

Too many dullards who are more interested in singing shit small time songs such as "your support is fucking shit" etc rather than get behind the team. I cringe whenever people singer I that SJP and whenever our fans do. No originality at Football anymore. Fucking boring hence why I don't go away anymore.

Got a bad feeling.

Hope we get the second, feeling very nervous. Would be a cracking result if we can hold on or go on to win more comfortably.

Exactly how I feel, there's no way Villa can be as bad second half.

Can't get my head around having decent options for cover either, makes no sense at all.

Must have still been frozen if the pie didn't come apart in the air after being thrown, also must have been a pretty good shot.

There were arseholes near me jumping out their seat going mental whenever a pass was misplaced, it's frustrating but fucking hell we have as good a reason as ever now to get behind the team and try and encourage them whenever things aren't looking good - the future is actually bright for once. There are so many clueless cunts, some Mong near me kicks off every time someone doesn't play the ball forward. Don't know what the thick fuck expects.

There will still be people out there saying we should have kept Pardew. Annoys me how people feel the need to comment on things they know fuck all about. "Pardew wouldn't have took you down", neither would Rafa if he was given the time that lipless cockney twat was!

Can't believe how likeable the club is all because of one man. Rafa has potential to be a Keegan or Robson type figure - maybe even more. I bet he is loving it as well, some of the jobs he has done elsewhere such as Chelsea, yet he was treated like utter shite. The man deserves to be loved.

And I thought my Rafa the Gaffa tattoo was a bit far.

A lad I know put it on Facebook so I'm guessing it's his. Be at Doncaster tonight as well I'm guessing as he is on the way there.

Don't think this is GF but still.

Blackburn fan on Twitter booting off saying he hates us as we poached their best player for a small fee.

Sent my application off yesterday with my mate so there's another two to add to the tally. Thought I was done with the club, so refreshing what's happening at the minute.

Definitely agree with a flag for Gary Speed, would love to see a Keegan one too. "I'd love it if we beat these" on it maybe.

Canny Rafa flag posted on their Twitter.

Hope that this new group are successful in getting a bit of character and atmosphere back into SJP and even on the road. Good luck.

The mad thing for me is that I believe every word that comes out of Rafa's mouth. Pardew and to an extent McClaren could tell me that the sky is blue and I wouldn't have it.

Buying one, had one for 9 years and then for the last two I have been to just one home game and one away.

Bristol City and West Brom, too.
