Shola on, Sib off.

ugh

I've noticed that Owen ends up with the ball on the right side of the midfield more than Dyer does. Dyer had one good run with the ball and a nice chance off the free kick. Otherwise he's been invisible. Still, I absolutely know that we'll come out in the same exact formation. Possibly sans Owen.

Move Milner to the right, sub Sib with Zog, and put Dyer into the middle. Sib is out there to win headers and he can't do it.

Either because it's bullshit, or to keep the price up.

I almost feel as if the 1913 uni is better than next year's kit.

That bald old man is a hell of a businessman.

Swap deal with Defoe. Everyone wins. 'cept Spurs. Christ, what would the average height of that front line be?

Agreed, although I did hover over Luque for a bit.

Oh no! He's going to leave in five years!

Was on Setanta wasn't it? Don't have. I usually use that which won't be mentioned, but I couldn't get the damned thing working. Gave up figuring the match would ruin my day.

Fuck, I can't believe I couldn't see this match. Fucking America

How bleak is the future if we have reminisce fondly about seasons from less than a decade ago?

I have to remember to watch that match.

Fuck, I think you might be on to something.

If we get a new manager in, keep. He's played what, five games? I think he should have until the next window to make an impact. If Roeder stays, go. He'll never get an extended run in the team.

Hate seeing Chelsea win, but Man U/Chelsea is honestly the final I want to see.

After spending 17 million on a man... If they put a 12 million release in his contract, I'll lose all confidence in this board. Won't be a far drop but still.

I hate matches like this. It's beautiful in NY today yet I'm going to end up playing FM for 2 hours just to see the team go somewhere.

I almost have to refuse to believe that he would say something that ridiculous. I need to see these comments in print before I can react to this. If he's said that, then all respect is out the window, and he needs to leave ASAP.

I'm from the states and I have no connection whatsoever to Newcastle. When I got into football I knew I was going to have to pick a team to support in order to learn the ins and outs of the game. Dunno why it was Newcastle, but I knew it couldn't be one of the big clubs. I wanted it to mean something when the team I supported finally won some silverware. Imagine the look on my face when I realized the club I chose never wins anything. Still, as bad as they are, I' m always going to consider myself a supporter. Despite the results and effort on the field, I'm still planning to see them in person next year.

More than likely wouldn't be enough to clean out the club that comprehensively.

If you were manager of England (reasonable idea, I think. Perhaps there should be a mail in essay contest to name the next one) who makes your squad and why?

I have no idea why, but this post has me laughing hysterically.

Christ, I've seen friendlies played with more passion. Isn't this a must win game for England?
