But Graeme, what if one or more of our centre halves get injured?

If an N-O letter goes to the club can one of the suggestions be that this bastardised version of the Blaydon Races is binned please? Preferably with all existing copies erased from existence/sent to the crem.

You whites should be ashamed of yourselves. Taking advantage of poor Petar's lack of knowledge about our barbaric five-a-side style laws of the game. I think the draw was fair in the end, but if Ryan had scored that rabona in full flight the match should've ended right there and the trophy would've been his for life.

Us Blacks laid down a marker in that first game but the Whites almost caused a huge upset at the end with a real strong performance. It was good to see some familiar faces and meet the new guys as well. I hope you've all had a cracking night on the town. @Heronfair play for that nutmeg in the first game, like. I was all set on some immediate retribution until I noticed you weren't in shinnies. A huge shame.

Marko suggested a Croatian venue for the next one, like. ??

Ryan almost scored the most ridiculous goal towards the end of the final match. I'm disappointed it didn't creep in.

Fortunately for "everyone", the services of Steve Bruce are now available, so they can ask their club to appoint him and treat him with the respect he deserves. I'm perplexed as to why there's no clamour from Norwich fans and the like for one of the most important English managers of the last 100 (ONE HUNDRED) years.

You're not giving anyone a lift this time are you?

Absolutely lifting.

This is the black kit, right?

Outrageous finish.

This is happening, right? The ultimate forum rivalry, finally realised.

I'd be happy with it as long as it was a token name change to pump some money into the club. "St James' Park sponsored by X" would be fine by me.

I think he's leaning forward and the blood's pooling in his face to be fair, like.

It's absolutely MENTAL, man. He even pauses to consider how far back he's going to go into the history of managers of English and still decides on 100 years.

Aye, but Hope writes for both doesn't he?

He's the boy, like. Wonder if he has any dealings with Holt given they write for the same rag. I'd like to think he'd call him out in person.

Beautifully scathing as per. It'll be weird seeing positive Midds posts from here on out.

I'm always amazed at how fans of other clubs absolutely must comment on NUFC matters as if they're in any way qualified to offer an opinion. I know that's the way of Twitter in general, a load of fucking numpties commenting with conviction on matters they know fuck all about, but it still baffles me.

What a load of risible bollocks. Has he always been this much of a prick? I swear he had a pretty good handle on NUFC matters a while back.

£8 million quid for failing miserably at his job/not even bothering to turn up some of the time, man. EIGHT MILLION! I note this is being conveniently overlooked by all his pals in cushy pundit jobs. It beggars belief how lucky he's been.

Why did he leave Roma?

I had no idea how little love the Scousers have for him either after his dealings with the Sun.
