WOW!

Can't even depend on Spurs to beat the Hammers? Jesus H Christ...

I remember reading that FSC got the rights to the late round matches of the UEFA cup. Have you checked them?

All those balls to the head must have affected him. Lord knows what they've done to her...

I think everyone said it. I remember seeing the news, and losing my mind over the thought of West f'n Ham being a major club. Still, I honestly think that the performances of last season, coupled with the expectations after those signings makes all this schadenfruede all the more sweet. Plus that charlton game...god! I feel like an ancient greek man being fed grapes by beautiful slaves when I read bad news about West Ham.

Can't buy a break at all. Sorry to see this. One of the few Chelsea players I like.

Has Messi regressed or was he never all that good afterall?

Now my head just hurts.

It also means Birmingham could win the fucking treble

No, they are s***. Might be an English=English translation issue. I mean the same thing as you. "Newcastle > Liverpool > Barcelona" Careful, that also means that Bramble is better than the Barca defence. Statements like that lead to renewed contracts.

Wow, Barca aren't shit tonight.

Anyone watching the Chelsea game? Diarra is a damn fine player. Would love to have him here.

Assuming we sign Gooch, with the arrival of Ferdinand, where does that leave Taylor?

Would love to see some of the Newcastle players getting along like that in training. Knowing Fred though, it would cost about five bucks.

For some reason, that logo makes me thirsty for beer.

A team that lost 5-1 to Birmingham deserves to celebrate whatever the hell they can manage to win.

Isn't Andrew Carroll around 6 ft 4?

Just took a look at one of their forums. That place might be the most depressing spot on the web.

I guess that explains the black armbands. Sad to hear. Always tough to lose an immediate member of the family to illness.

Just finished this one the other week. A very enjoyable read, and insightful for someone not as well versed in the history of the club like myself. If I could ask my own question, does anyone have any other Newcastle related books to suggest? Surely something has been written about the 95/96 season.

Yeah. I've never been a massive fan of the Metrostars/Red Bulls, But I try to keep up with what's going on with the team.

actually, as a RB's fan, i don't mind the strips so much. its pretty much just like having redbull as a super sponser. but seeing as how NORAD (north american aerospace defense command) is in colorado, i wouldnt mind seeing 'colorado nuclear arsenal' (pauses for laughs) [insert smiley which used to be on the old board which depicted an akward exit] The logo is... man. I can't even put it into words. It looks as if it was ironed on a T-shirt. If you're trying to grow a league, you would think the team in the biggest market in the nation would get something better than that. Honestly, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the old Metrostars look. Will Arsenal loan players to Colorado, or is this just another Chelsea/LA kind of thing?

New York United, New York Toon, New York equivalent of an apparently cursed team, I don't give a damn. Anything but the Red Bulls. Have you <i>seen</i> those uniforms?!

You a cat with 9 lives like? Dunno, I've only seen 7
