Do you know if students get any discount? Possibility that you have to be a member of Team Northumbria though.

Oba Martins yesterday after Tiger walking past the Co-op to chants of 'Oba-Obafem'.

I want NE5 as gaffer. And Greg mate put Poll up. No need for a referendum on this. Anyone against the evening of the 11th? There's the possibility that I have work, but know I have two weeks off in January, just not sure of dates.

Stephen?

Vetere is our International scout, are you suggesting we should use our scout to negotiate players contracts? No, I just didn't know what he did. Thanks for enlightening me on his role.

I;ve just read the Sunday Sun back page as well and Wise was at the Roma game monitoring Riise yesterday.

I also read that Owen said the person he was negotiating with at the club over contracts had left and it must have been Jiminez. Now what does Llambias and Vetere do? At least Jiminez was doing something useful it would seem.

What did people think of his performance? I would rather have Bassong and Coloccini, but thought Faye provides more danger from set pieces then most of our players.

Newcastle have been linked (with quotes from Kinnear) David Obua “Yes we are monitoring David Obua, but then we are monitoring several players at the moment” and Lucas Mareque "Lucas Mareque is a player we are looking to bring in from Independiente in the January transfer window and we are trying to find out what that would entail". The players are left backs, 6ft plus and 24/25 years old. After yesterdays game we need midfielders and I thought Enrique looks as though with confidence he can do a job at left back. A few weeks back there was quotes from Kinnear about John Arne Riise as well meaning we were/are looking at 3 left backs.

sounds like CM then. cos we have literally none. You two sound like Alan Smith and Big Sam. If I was Big Sam I'd probably shunt him wide right. Only if he passes the fitness test beforehand though.

Robbo - LM, ST, LB - Coach Lane or Complete.

Yeh Nixon they are near the academy. The only downside is that to book it you need top use a card (or you used to have to, I haven't played there for a few months) rather than just turning up and paying cash as it could be fully booked. It used to be £44 when I played for 2 hours, so assume it must be £22 for an hour.

Coach Lane is about £22 an hour iirc. You have the 3G pitch and all different sizes of proper goals available, changing rooms. Complete is meant to be very well equipped with 3G pitches, proper nets and changing areas too. Heaton Manor is solely astro turf isn't it? But it is quite handy.

I await to hear someones had trials. I know Kaizero played for his local Amateur side. I've had trials as well, no point mentioning it though as I didn't 'make it' You get lost on the way? I was watched by a team but never given a trial. Newcastle? Our school team had an Academy lad. Haha if I got lost getting to Darsely Park from my house I'd want shot tbh. I was played in the CB role and considering I was a slight winger normally it wasn't my most commanding performance.

I've had nowt of the sort like, summit I'll always regret I reckon. Newcastle. One of the worst games of my life partly due to them giving all the kids (10-12) adult size kits. They were pretty shockingly organised generally as well.

Complete football in Gosforth or Coach Lane Sports Centre (Benton-ish).

I'm not too bad, school team etc, might be interested it depends on when etc as you have said.

In Ligue 1, I would imagine it being more technical rather than physical. I wouldn't say that Bassong is that good technically, but superb physically. His strengths from what I have saw are the ability to read the game, decent acceleration, strength and good heading ability. Technically he isn't that great, but can get by on his attributes. This is probably why he is more accomplished as a centre half rather than a full back as he offers little attacking threat, but can sweep up nicely. I've been very impressed with him since he signed, which is all I could go on as he wasn't heard of before the move. Perhaps clubs didn't want to take a risk on a player who was in a relegated side?

Boro looking the only side who could win this game.

Should have took Owen off. At least Martins has contributed something....

Middlesbrough getting more into the game, taking it to another level.

N'Zogbia with an excellent run.

Can't see the ball when it goes in the air.

Bramble awful mistake aswell.
