He's been alright actually. I meant collectively.

Don't worry lads, once the thread hits 1000 everything will be sweet.

Erm yes you have been consistent Nigel. Consistently shite.

Born in 1978 according to wiki. Yeah I meant 33, I was half asleep when I read .com. Point still stands mind!

.com reckons Geremi is 33 today. There is no way on Earth that he's a day under 40 like.

Hope he really gets forward if he does start.

Should do. They've never said owt when an adults used my brother's ticket like.

Why does he need to play on the right?

Probably been whooshed but I'm going to stick my neck out and say Arfster could play there, he has a little bit of history in that role. Love how comfortable Santon has shown himself to be on the ball and how looks to go forward as soon as he gets it. Very refreshing. I mean, obviously Ben Arfa would be fine but the point that was being made was that we were disadvantaged by having two opposite-footed wide players on the left side. He unfortunately doesn't solve that problem. (Unless I'm stupid and Ben Arfa is actually left-footed.) Plastic fan tbh.

The bit on the half way line in the second half where he dived and caught the ball was hilarious.

I can't remember him getting up at all in the second half like. First time I seen him was when he was going to come on.

Did the whole thing not happen at 10pm? 'after a wet night in town'. Pussies.

not just me then. Same. Knees gone. I too thought this. He looked absolutely knackered!

Goodbye Stoke.

Ray Wilkins looks so much like Uncle Fester its unreal.

Watched that earlier on, almost forgot how amazing it was.

NOT BAD

Either of Robert's vs Spurs are better than the one of his that's there, which is a bit of a freaky gimmick of a goal more than anything. Was a pretty incredible finish but you know. The second one should definitely be in there, Kasey Keller was absolutely helpless.

David Villa broke his femur when he was 4 according to BBC. Ouch.

It's absolutely incredible to think they've never been relegated, and sit 4th in the all time Spanish table, all the while only using Basque players or those with links to the Basque country.

No way dont, its an airport that happens to be in the newcastle area. f***ing hell, i dont know a single mag who thinks the airport belongs to NUFC fans. MASSIVE f***ing CHIP ON THE SHOULDER HALF A HEED c***s DOOON THE ROAD MONGS can't believe anyone could have that mackem's point of view. a sign begging people just to notice sunderland - in another city's massive international airport - and they think its some victory. what the hell is wrong with them? Apparently seeing that sign will put nufc fans in a right mood before they go on holiday http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showpost.php?p=11408793&postcount=65 I'd be livid. I mean how could I jet off to Tenerife knowing they've ruined out airport by putting up an advert that paints us as their bigger, better rivals. Would destroy my holiday.

Marcelino. Oh, wait...

Haha i was at that game. We won IIRC. They missed a pen. Think we only had ten for much of the second half as well? Babayaro or someone got sent off when giving away that pen. I remember the 'He's a dwarf, a dwarf' song coming out at regular intervals. First away game, it was a brilliant day. Scott Parker wasting time at the end was brilliant.

Hardly the best example to use. Valencia have been experiencing crippling debt for ages now, nearly had to sell their entire squad a few years back. They actually did need the money.
