GET IN!!!! We haven't ended the season trophyless. Thats the reason why I love the Northumberland Senior Cup - at least we're in with a chance.

the crowd is a total sea of red. Wish SJP was abit more like that (obviously with black and white)

Keegans last game as manager in his first stint. January 1997 and the cup game away at Charlton. My grandparents live just down the road from the Valley, so me dad got tickets and me, me mam and dad went down for the weekend. Bobby Lee scored on his return to the Valley.

apart from Sunday league, I don't see why games have to kick off on a Sunday morning. For one it means all kinds of hassle for supporters of the away team. Saturday 3pm is the best time as it allows everyone to get tanked up before hand. And using the Suffolk derby as an example, didn't people post in the comments bit of that link about the top 5 derbies that Ipswich-Norwich was perhaps the friendliest derby in England? If so, why the need for heavy policing? My heads all over the place.

All depends on the scouting. We paid £2m for Habib Beye and he's quality. If Wise, Vetere and Jiminez have been doing their job properly, we could get another few bargains, meaning the spend won't be too great. If Ashley is going to put £40m into the pot, for example, I'd rather see KK bring in the 3-4 he wants for around £20m (depending on what their clubs want) then theres a guarenteed £20m there in January should things go tits-up with injuries/some signings not working out.

£20-30m. Don't think it'll be as much as people anticipate.

have a look in the mirror, sunshine.

aww shucks.

back in the dark days of souness in 2005, I remember hearing "And I would walk 500 miles, and I would wake 500 more, just to be that fan who walks a thousand miles to see Michael Owen score"

Buy the local papers tomorrow and keep them for him. so he can grow up and think, "thank fuck I never witnessed that clueless bastard Oliver write such drivel first hand" ?

David Kelly as I was typing, I did think, the one exception. And maybe Clarky.

I'm sorry but you need your head checking if you think any sunderland player is going to get a good reception in the Tyne-wear derby. He's wearing red and white, and trying to put the ball in our net ffs, he could be Mr. Newcastle, King of the city, but he's still representing them. Seriously man...

congrats Bontempi! At the next opportunity you deserve to get smashed! And tell remember to tell your bairn in years to come about the footballing incident on the weekend he was born!

yup. My mates wanted Barton to snap McShane's legs and put them out their misery! Quality first half, Butt was given far too much space though to pick out passes. Bit disappointed about the second half, would have loved an Owen hat-trick, but at the end of it all, derby day is about one thing - THE RESULT. And we got it. Back for a bit to eat then off out drinking again!

aye what worries me is that we're all expecting a win, a loss would be... *hands on ears LALALALA* hit the nail on the head for me!

haha my plans have changed, I'm going back to C-L-S to watch it with me fatha and a few mates. Should be interesting, being half and half territory, although as always I'm expecting it to be packed with Mags!

Almost destroying the radio while kicking everything in sight when we took the lead that game! being packed in to some crappy pub in Fatfield (mackem territory) with hundreds of other mags as it was 1 of about 3 places in the whole of the north-east showing it. Having to synchronise jumping up and down to avoid someone falling, and getting trodden to death. The tears swelling up in a little mackem kids eyes as he saw his team let a 1 goal lead slip and we completely took the piss.

http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=322650 aye, they wouldn't do the same if we had one of theirs playing for us like....

cracking news. My face is going to have the look of a permanent cringe if they up my exposure to the "expert" knowledge of Andy Townsend and Robbie Earle. The only worse thing I've heard regarding TV punditry is when a guy on Setanta said "we're going to talk live now to soccer legend Steve Claridge"

don't suppose Players will have the dancers on at 10am will they? They (the lasses, not the lads!) could be the wake up call I need for a hazy Sunday morning.

Fack me they've got a glass centre and a swimming pool what more do they want ? Didn't the glass centre go bust? if it did, fuck knows how. I for one can never get enough finely decorated vases, and my marble collection? Well thats just something else!

Ahh thats it now, the end of the week, the banter between the Newcastle fans and the unwashed is over. I'm really up for it now. Lets hammer the fuckers. Yeah - like a hiring manager is going to turn down a qualified person just because of his post code. "sur then, where'd ya kayp the KEEEEEZ?" "Right, fuck that. You're fired."

The mackems I was with last night (albeit they'd been drinking) reckon if Evans doesn't play, we'll demolish them. Their other options? higginbotham or mcshane. Hope to god keane decides to play mcshane, we'll have a field day!

it said that article was from the Times, not the Star.

my mackem bellend mate has also heard this rumour, but made the point of reiterating it was a rumour, and not for definate, as if I would be heartbroken and resigning myself to defeat.
