plenum

THE match of the year starts at 1.30 p.m. People on this thread are speaking of the drinking session commencing at 6.30 a.m. Coming from abroad I have no clue as to what drinking at 6.30 am means. Please advise. It would be interesting to know if any pubs are open, or where fans gather to enjoy a few cans in a park or suchlike. Or do people just stay in their houses and drink? Cheers...

I'm telling you now, I would love it if we beat them! 3-1 Martins, Owen, Taylor

To be fair, I'd take a draw now if given the option. Took the thought right out of my head Imagine if we can actually keep a clean sheet !? 0-0 toningt and we'll be the 'Entertainers' again. I'd like to see Carroll for 90 minutes, that is all I have to say. Oh yeah, and if KK plays Smith again I am convinced he wants us to go down. That way it's easier for KK to become popular next year when he's added to the squad and WINS division 1.

even if he says the right things you'd say "all talk,just words, he needs to do it on the pitch" quite bitter about him aren't you ? Bitter? No. Pissed off that he has been a waste of £17 million and £100 grand each week to every one of us who puts their hand in their pocket to support Newcastle United, and who are at this minute feeling s*** scared that we could go down? Yes. I couldn't give a flying whatsit whether Michael Owen plays for England ever again, but I do care that he seems to not be able to motivate the team that he is captain of, and that he has looked completely diinterested in this club since his comeback at Reading last year. I have to say I've been quite impressed by his conduct since he became captain. I'm not saying he's the best captain out there, but I think he's showing that he does care at the minute. Not being sarcastic(as I realise that this might come across this way) but how? I watch the bloke and he looks like he would rather be anywhere else than playing for us most weeks. I toatally agree with toonlass. 'hindu times' -please elaborate on what you see in Owen after he's become captain?

I'm very bad at remembering dates of matches and scorelines, statistics in general so bare with me........It was in 1997 I think when I was down in London to visit friends. We met Arsenal (PL) and I just thought I'd go to Highbury in search of a ticket. No punters in sight outside the underground so I went to the ticket office but sold out. However....as people collected their tickets I asked them if they had any spares. I stood there for about an hour asking "any spare tickets?" with no Arse-fan even bothering to say yes or no. Kick-off was a minute away and I was about to leave when the last people in the que collected their tickets. I thought, ok lets ask these kids and then sod it! I couldn´t beleive my luck when he said YES! Then he looked a little scared of selling it on the black market so he asked how much I'd like to pay for it? I had expected to pay around £50 but the kid looked shaky so I said I'll give you £20. OK he said, and then I ran to one of the best seats in the ground, middle/center circle top tier. It was magic, and we won 1-0 thanks to a rare Peacock goal. I think it must have been Anelkas debut as well coz there were 3 blokes (Anelkas father and 2 brothers probably) in front of me who went mental when he came on as a substitute.

"must be a bit of a t***" - In that case I think Carr, Smith, Barton should be dropped as well, those lads got no character whatsoever and they are no better than Enrique per se. However, I cannot believe KK still plays Zog at LB, I mean Zog should be an offensive weapon, not a suicidal defensive punter. Christ, hasn't KK seen any Newcastle games on video from the Allardyce era? KK may be a hero but he hasn't got a clue what he's doing. He's lost it. Sad but true. Ah well, have a great weekend anyway forum-people!

Yeah, tactical genius he is certainly not. I also wonder what the players think of KK. The fans love him, but do the players? Somehow, I sense KK has lost some of his magic/credability

Notice the word 'Should' \erm, we ARE talking about KEVIN Keegan here, yes? A tactically superior? Masterminding? Jebus, you're in for a shock.

KK has had plenty of time to prepare for this one..Should be tactically superior on Sat because of his masterminding the last 2 weeks. I reckon a 2-1 home win However, is man u in better physical shape by playing yesterday or are we in better shape from resting come Sat??

I was gonna say Carr and possibly Geremi when I saw the thread heading.......but I withdraw my comments.

What a load of nonsense. Please elaborate on your views Wullie. So you don´t agree that after scoring a goal (one goal) after 3 games without a goal we should try to score another? Yeah right be real man. I reckon we are twice as likely to succeed by defending a lead than to score another with our so called strike force. You just said "typical Keegan always attacking", now you're advocating attacking? Make your mind up. I'm talking about the game today, and I'm not advocating attacking after we scored, where do I say that? Make YOUR mind up and read what I said "So you don´t agree that after scoring a goal (one goal) after 3 games without a goal we should try to score another?" Yes I do agree that we should have tried to score another, and we did try. Glad we cleared that up. Okey, let me refrase that then.......So you think that after scoring a goal after 3 games without a single goal we are more likely to score another than defending our lead with 30 mins to go? Well, I don't think so with our inability to score. Over n Out.

Typical Keegan always attacking. Why can't Newcastle ever defend a lead against a schitty side like Boro? Agree that Smith and Butt must go. Smith cant play midfield nor up front and he knows it hence the mischief and agro he´s showing. Very sad all of this. Summary - Circus x 2.

They are both equally shite. If I must choose I favour Shola though since at least he has some manners

We should give the FA cup game against arsenal 140% and win the game, or at least get a draw. Then we will be knackered for the PL game, but I don't care. The FA cup is what matters in the short term. OK!

Aye, he was blilliant against ARSE'nal. Won every headr from throw-ins. Credit to Geremi for precision-throwing n' all. Smith/Martins up-front with Viduka on an offensive midfield position please. Or perhaps drop Martins coz he's not in form, but then again who is?

Funny, coz ther's one LOUD fekker in the Milburn Stand (I think) who u can hear on the telly. When St James' is quiet (apologies but it happens now and then) one man with a very loud voice shouts UNITED....-UNITED....-UNITED....-UNITED all on his own. Funny, coz you can hear him quite loud on the telly. Ok, my point is that such a loud fekker should be appointed go-go-magpie and get the crowd going. He takes tune if you like and the rest follow, or must follow rather! That works over here in Sweden anyway. I h8 drums by the way, it's for nerds living in SE20 Charlton.

Let's face it, we are SHITE!

Yeah, and you like Emre, that says alot about your judgement

Can I see Mort's CV? What are his achievements in business so far. There is a small chance he is even less competent than Shepherd

Fat Fred and Big Sam - what a wonderful combination of big-headed dictators!

Shepherd - suck yourself! edit: sack

When is next seasons fixtures released by the F.A ? I am already looking forward to next season and want to start planning my travels to Tyneside....
