Could be because Nolan and Big Sol aren't playing.

I'm waiting for this idiot now to say what a good striker Alan Smith is.

This commentary I nearly spit my beer out over my keyboard because of laughing.

We haven't scored with 25 minutes over - Kris Howton out!

He is.

Barton seems to sit back a bit more with Guthrie going into the attack. (when we are in possesion)

Not if you're playing without a goalkepper.

Was just thinking the same. I don't think he's the greatest like. Ehm, better than some arab shouting goooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal into his microphone surely.

It feels so good to be back in European football - and a final as well.

Was just thinking the same.

Was the same against PSV. Yeah, that was a friendly. But today we're playing for a major trophy.

We don't even have names on our shirts...

Lee Ryder: The home side Depor: Manu, Pablo, Stopira,Perez,Lopo,Michel,Riki, Saul,Urreta,Rodriguez,Aythami. I don't know any of them.

If we're leading 2-0 I hope Hughton does a Mourinho and does the hand shake with the Depor manager during the last minutes of the game instead of after the match.

It seems so.

Today it counts for Joey and Guthrie in the middle. If they can do well today they have a good chance of starting in the premier league as well. But I guess we'll see a shit performance of at least one of them.

Official starting XI from co.uk: NUFC: Steve Harper, Ryan Taylor, Jose Enrique, James Perch, Fabricio Coloccini, Wayne Routledge, Danny Guthrie, Joey Barton, Xisco, Andy Carroll, Leon Best.

Where's Nolan btw?

Definetly. We can't get any bigger trophy than today.

So, is Routledge starting or injured?

15 € on us dnb tonight.

My long term bets for the season: PL: ManUtd LA Liga: Real Madrid Seria A: Inter Bundesliga: Bayern Munich Man Utd to to get more than 82 pts, Blackpool less than 26, Liverpool more than 70, us more than 42. Defoe, Bent, Drogba, Davies, Rooney and Carroll all being top scorers of their clubs. And head-to-head: Spurs - Arsenal Villa - Birmingham Blackburn - Bolton Liverpool - Everton Man Utd - Man City West Ham - Fulham Wigan - Blackpool Wolves - WBA Edit: And 1 € on Newcastle to win the Premier League, which returns 1.000€.

He played at the World Cup despite having an injury/not being fit. Don't think it's his fault this time.
