Yeah on paper we are.. we've got some good players but we're no way near being a good team. Our midfield has no understanding and absolutely no depth. One injury throws us out of balance.

The Dutch have a nickname for Newcastle United. I forget the exact wording, but we're considered a graveyard that ends the careers of top players.

Cole was offside when Anelka shot. Linesman got it spot on. Given taking the ball over the line might be worth a watch if they can show whether it went in or not. He was offside from the second shot, no debate about that. Straight out of the rule book that scenario, with accompanying pictures. The ball didn't go all the way over the line from replays, which it has to for it to count. Two good decisions at the end of the day.

I think this performance shows how the weak link really is the midfield, which is what alot of us on here have been saying for a while now. Our defence played brilliantly today with constant pressure. A midfield with some actual ball retention in it would ease so much pressure and help create more goals at the other end. I continue to be impressed with Coloccini & Bassong. Enrique didn't have a bad game at all either.

I don't know how anyone can dispute that offside. Cole was offside from the Malouda shot. If it had gone it, it would have been a goal, but the rebound caused Cole to be in play.

One long range scorcher to fly past Given that'll be shown in every Sky 08/09 season clip for years to come. Guaranteed.

Soccer AM is alright I guess.. nothing on Fantasy Football League though!

Where are you from out of interest?

Saw the Argie goal on ITV, with the news reporter saying that "Carlos Tevez for Man Utd was involved in the build up to the goal".. I know it's only a little thing, but do you reckon they do it on purpose? It's far too regular.

Of course Duff is saying this, he knows which side his bread's buttered.

Why is this cunt mouthing off about selling players we can't really afford to lose? Sick of him. I have no doubt that anyone he brings in will be in the Duff/Butt mould. Excellent.

He'd blame the referee alot. And as for this statement that's supposed to be making an appearance after the Chelsea thrashing, I have no doubt in my mind that it'll be nothing but negative bullshit that'll probably lead to N-O needing a new server.

Hmmm, people say that we never give our managers time but to be fair we've rarely hounded out a manager that wasn't being detrimental to the team... Roeder, Souness & Allardyce as examples. My memory is a little hazy on Dalgleish & Gullit, maybe one of the older supporters would like to properly fill me in but as I remember it one of them dismantled Keegans excellent team and the other fell out with Shearer and Lee.. infact didn't Gullit walk or is my memory on the blink again?

Newell has taken the job at Grimsby Town, count him out

Must have been a London fixture, that.

I've never seen that available for the PS3.

What was you doing on that site? I like Jonas and all, but I aint cruising bizarre pseudo-porn sites for his likeness. Now Nile Ranger on the other hand..

Have I woken up in Bizarro world here? When did ANY club want Taylor? He wants to go to Spurs aswell does he? Sorted. Get him and Dawson infront of Gomes. Sexual.

What's the bet?

Well yeah.. but we would have stood a better chance of winning if we had left our creative output (Jonas) on, and taken off the player that hadn't done much and looked knackered - Duff.. When we had 3 strikers on the entire team lost shape and pace. Martins was the only player left on with any real speed on him and he'd be ineffective all match anyway. His subs are regularly either clueless or far too late, some examples: Man City - Andy Carroll came on instead of Xisco and Carrolls lazy as fuck jogging about and lack of bal retention led to City counter attacking. Sunderland - Brought on Gutierrez & Barton on in the 80th minute pretty much, far too late in the game. We needed these players earlier. Fulham - See above, removed the pace and ruined the shape of the team.

Morgan has always been a cunt. Disgrace to the sport.

Good article, that.

I think drugs like coke would be the most commonly used in the premier league due to the lifestyle of some of the players. I don't think it's a massive problem, but I think that drug testing should be a lot more stringent. I had to take regular drug tests in one of my old jobs and I think that the current method of dope testing in the PL is way below par.

Apparently he wanted to go, didn't get one with one or two players at the club.
