I want him to stay, but I have no idea whats going on with his tactics. Ashley should back him as much as he can in Jan, and hopefully we'll get adequate players to fill the gaps where Sam thinks we are weak, and we won't have to keep playing players out of position

wouldn't surprise me if we're 1 down inside 10 minutes

sam sam sam. deary fucking me

ahhh well, I think I'm going to go to Gregg's, buy a sausage roll and a steak bake (perfect pub food!) then head down the pub! As s**** as some of the football has been this season, and as much as I'm expecting us to get beat today - I f****** miss having a season ticket!!! Still, by this time next week, the train should have just pulled into Blackburn station!! (fingers crossed!)

Durham Dyna..... ahh shit, we're talking about football here. Tbh I'll probably spend my summer watching the cricket! Probably Croatia for me. They soundly beat us on Wednesday and can knock the ball around well. Then there's obviously the interest in Turkey and the Czech Republic for reasons people have mentioned before

If he's asked, I reckon he might go. Tbh I can't see Ashley standing in his way too much. Yeah, yeah he's backed him and given him money to spend etc etc, but he wasn't Ashley's choice as manager.

could someone who is really witty and good with words help me out on a joke I'm trying to make? so far its something along the lines of "what have steve mclaren and alistair darling got in common? they're both good at losing". but at the minute thats pretty s****, it needs elaborating on

aye I fucking hate that. As I said to mates, had we drawn, I could pretty much predict what would happen. We finish second in our qualifying group, so we're not seeded. We lose to the seeded team in our group and thus finish second in the group stage. We play a group winner in the 2nd round and get beat. End of.

Turkey qualified, yes. good old Emre

Am I fuck. Just means the pubs won't be packed with fake England fans next summer. Cos I'm still gonna be on the drink, a football festival isn't going to stop me getting bladdered down the pub watching 3 matches on the bounce just 'cos Ing-gur-lund aren't playing

f*** that. Id rather the FA go straight for Bilic. yeah, but I'm thinking about whats best for Newcastle, fuck England

did Turkey qualify??? Emre and Roz will at least mean the Toon are represented next summer

If the FA take Allardyce, go for Bilic!

I share your view in its entireity

Slaven Bilic for next Newcastle manager - I like him, I think he's got something about him

tomorrows tabloids, "BECKHAM SET FOR TOON SWITCH" :frantic:

we've been saved by a 6ft 7 freak and a country that isn't even in Europe. deary me, England

if only this referee could referee in England!!!! As soon as I saw him give that penalty, I thought of Derby away and the amount of times Rozehnal was having his shirt pulled!! We would've won 3-1 had we been given and scored penalties!!! and fuck - we've scored. Oh well, we're going to qualify, get hyped up to fuck and again not get past the 2nd round. Really, I fucking hate England

hope to fucking god Smith doesn't play. The little cunt will probably get injured, we'll have to pay as a result and England will end up losing anyhow

looks like we'll see the next best thing though.... http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,2483_2889052,00.html

LuaLua vs. Charlton at home whereby for 2 minutes he became more gymnast than footballer by doing about 8 backflips. Put them pre-pubescent olympic russian girls to shame.

yup. fucking boring isn't it?

an interesting piece by Stuart Rayner in this morning's journal, claiming Smith doesn't have a set position http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2007/11/12/smith-doesn-t-know-his-place-61634-20095097/

have you seen one like? What was he doing? Did he find the cathedral impressive? Because I'm assuming he wasn't there for sunderland's Champions League semi-final second leg away at Inter?

sign Captain Planet. he has plenty of experience. Or Captain Pugwash...
