There's still one of them there, non? Yeah. Looks like she ate the other one. So true. She all of a sudden just got MASSIVE.

Routledgegave him the run around in the Championship as well.

Oh, aye: http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/2456/chrisnf.jpg

Hope Carroll gets a horrible, horrible reception and it lasts as long as he's on the pitch. I reckon he'll completely drop his arse.

I'd be truly terrified for other reasons if McLean was running toward me.

It's scary how agile he is, I'd be truly terrified if I was a defender and I seen him running towards me.

Unreal

He's got the potential to be an absolute legend here. The beginning of his toon career, the photo in the airport, the goal against Everton then that horrific leg break, it all makes him so much easier to love. I've got a feeling he realises just how much of an impact he can make long term at this club as well. Exciting times.

Darren Gibson is going bald fast.

I heard that aye, you could just tell he had been sitting there all afternoon dying to sneak it in.

It's embarassing he's presenting a football programme on the BBC. He knows next to nothing about the game.

That one-two between Ben Arfa and Cabaye man, what a couple of passes.

He's such a normal bloke for a footballer.

Krul's got to open his mouth there like. Doesn't say a word.

Perchinho.

Didn't the arsehole have us down for the drop ? Always loathed that b******. "The finish: If they finish fourth from bottom, it will be a good year for Newcastle. It's not looking good for them right now and that's without knowing what other problems are coming their way once the season has started. I think they might just escape relegation, only because there are worse teams out there than them."

Wut?

Lua Lua's goal for Blackpool was a corker.

Yes Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, when I see Stoke City I think of Stoke on Trent making lots of pottery, and therefore rush to order pots from Stoke. Seriously, the amount of horseshit that's being given to allow Pulis to escape this driving ban is insane.

It was a while ago I think, he was teaching Spanish at the Newcastle School for Boys or whatever it's called.

If you needed a goal to explain what Stoke are all about, that one was it.

Didn't realise what that was hanging out of Friedel's shorts there

Well done Jose, superb.

COE-WAA-TEZZZZZ! Paddy Kenny looked genuinely terrified by the ball.

No way
