I was in the Holte End once. Back in 99. Had no bother from the Villa fans but the Steward clocked my accent when I walked in and told me "to be quiet or elese you will get thrown out" - even though I was with a local lad.

Oh fucking yes. Never has such a lowly position looked so sweet. Never thought I would see 17th again to be honest

Think back to the comment by Shearer that Viduka probably wouldnt have played again if he hadnt have come in. Thank you Kinnear, Hughton, Calderwood. Wankers

I have faith that Shearer knows we arent good enough to play for just a draw. We have to attack.

Due to Gateshead finishing higher in the table, they got home advantage. Think the same happened last season too. Ah OK. Cheers

Just been wondering this morning how the match was played at Gateshead and not at a neutral stadium

FANTASTIC !!! Well done Whitley Bay

There are some managers that come in and you kind of know that they arent the right man and arent there for the long term. I think of the likes of Roeder, Sbragia, Hart (IMO). But for me, Shearer has an air of a man who would be suited to the job for a longer period.

Ah fuck

Different team away from home aren't they? Normally, but they have done ok at SJP recently so I can bet the same rule doesnt apply for us.

Fulham looking quite impressive. Scary for next week

So much for the rumour that Kinnear spent, what, something like 80% of taining on defending ! They can work on whatever they like; if individuals are not taken aside and told what they are doing wrong it's no surprise they keep making the same mistakes. And we wonder why NUFC seems to have been a graveyard for rated players in recent years. Its terrifying, it really is.

Fuck me. James and Distin

They have been shit at the back but I think WBA are a credit to the Premier League with the way they play football

Well yeah, I just mean it's been bloody ages since we scored from a speculative smash at goal. Cant actually remember the last goal scored by us from distance

How the fuck did that Wigan lad miss that ?

a cracker

Superb news this. At last. Some good news for North East football this season

Oh Yes. Fucking get in !!!

Grand. Is it just the first leg though ?

Is that a final score ?

Only just had a chance to catch a small glimpse of Jamie Redknapps reaction.......
