  1. Just realized: South Korea manager on the ropes. Hiddink packing his bags in Turkey. It's time
  2. Excellent win for my birth nation woo! Couldn't get to watch the match, were Lebanon relatively impressive? They were quite good away in Kuwait! Hope this means we're more likely to qualify now! Lebanon were very impressive. I don't know how they've randomly become so good. Usual comments about deliberately s*** pitch/fans with laser pointers/arab refs sticking up for their bros apply though. Gotcha You should be alright to go through though obviously We should annihilate Kuwait comfortably at home. Think the manager might go for this. Looks a broken man in the interviews, going crazy blaming the players.

  4. Jesus Christ. Heads need to roll for this farce. Worst I've ever seen us play.
  5. Lebanon 2-1 up against Korea I don't know how to put this.. They're.. Umm... Good?
  6. It always becomes harder when other people start catching up to your methods. It happened for Billy Beane and to a degree it's happened to Arsene Wenger. It's up to the club to further innovate and continue to find untapped sources of value in the transfer market once everyone else starts overcrowding France.
  7. See, a sensible riposte. You've actually come on leaps and bounds as a poster this year. A true pleasure to debate with when you occasionally drop the self-absorbed pretty boy facade. ....what!?
  8. As I said, "vaguely similar" really. They're both big lads who don't necessarily open up space for each other as the mythical "Bellamy type" would. I see the sort of difference in movement you mention as more tactical instruction than inherent difference in style really.

    St James' Park

    I'd be willing to accept this move with reservations if I believed that he actually intended to sell the naming rights for revenue instead of just using it as an advertising vehicle for Sports Direct. I don't though.
  10. Once I saw you come up as the latest poster, I pretty much knew exactly what you'd posted.
  11. We're doing pretty well right now with two forwards of vaguely similar style playing up front.
  12. Wrong. Looks leggy on Youtube. Too similar to Shola. All bad black players look alike, of course.
  13. When you see a club suddenly going all-out to sign a player who's not necessarily a big name, as we seem to be doing with Maiga, it's generally because they've seen something that indicates that he'll definitely make it. Given our scouting team's track record, I'm quietly confident that this will be a fantastic signing.

    St James' Park

    We've had a red and blue striped away kit before. 06-07 was the most recent I think. I personally think it's fairly likely. Should go smashingly with the SD.com shirt sponsor.
  15. The number of minor "feuds" going on in this board is ridiculous sometimes. I can't even keep track of all of them.

    St James' Park

    Reebok barely even exists anymore
  17. Only Bundesliga team I watch with any regularity is Hamburg, and dear God they're abysmal.
  18. Sewelly http://www.barcaforum.com/showthread.php/8188-Newcastle-United-F.C./page2 no surprise it's a scouser talking shit in there I'm less impressed now that I've realized that it's an english Barca forum that Sewelly is posting on

    Classy

    I'm trying to be charitable about this here... Maybe he was just at a bar with some mates and mouthing off (as we all do when we're drunk) without thinking that somebody was listening in with a tape recorder? In any case, it's terrible publicity from the club. I hate that we're back to being the laughing stocks of England all over again.
  20. Colo was never that likely to stay. All we can do is hope really.
  21. I'm increasingly starting to believe that circumstances will conspire to take Pardew away from us.
