  1. for the atmosphere alone, Fenerbahce 1-1 Besiktas
  2. "This is why I value this forum so highly. If the result were the other way round, their forum would be full of "we were robbed, stinky Mackems, self-pity blah blah." We are a more measured knowledgeable bunch. Bigger men." on RTG

  4. To whom it may concern, Imagine my shock, anguish and near apoplectic rage this morning when a cursory glance at your channel revealed to me the callous and factually incorrect use of the name ‘St James Park’ to refer to our stadium, when it is public and accepted knowledge that the stadia in question is now proudly renamed sportsdirect.com@StJamesP ark stadium. This is not only offensive to loyal supporters of ‘the toon’ such as myself, but also a grave injustice to our spiritual leader Mike Ashley. Mr Ashley is a fine, fine man whose commercial acumen and acute business sense in the face of adversity does not deserve to be besmirched in such a callous and derogatory fashion. Must I remind you this is a man who forged an empire, a phoenix from the ashes straddling the sporting world like a colossus, where others such as Olympus Sports and The Substitutes Bench have failed in the past. Alas, the ultimate result of your negligence goes far deeper – Mr Ashley has underwritten this name change at great expense. Failure to recognise the new title of the stadia can have nothing but a detrimental knock-on effect regarding sales of his merchandise. This ultimately will leave this proud man with no choice but to ask, cap in hand, that the consumer shoulder some of the financial burden created by yourself. While this may mean little to Mr Murdoch and other company fat cats in their towers or ivory, it may be enlightening for you to know that Newcastle as a city prides itself on its ability to look fashionable and sheik in reasonably priced Donnay polo shirts, and Lonsdale trainers whilst casually twirling Dunlop golfing umbrellas. In this age of financial austerity you can imagine the tragic results. We have already lost Geordie jeans, and with it our easy access to Le Shark jumpers, and I fear what further economic strains may do to this proud city. I trust you will deal with this serious matter with the utmost urgency, or I may have to take this up with my MP, and quite possibly Jeff Brown from Look North whom I have on good authority is equally as appalled by your actions as the common man. Good day to you Sir, Reginald Theodore Gaddafhi Read more: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=534476&page=18#ixzz13mb5EglC
  5. Chelsea are aiming to win the league. If they come 2nd they have failed. Newcastle are aiming to survive. If we finish 17th, we have succeeded.
  6. More established..? How many years were NUFC in the PL before Stoke managed it ? If Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal or even, never let it be said, Everton, were relegated for one season, would you then say Stoke were a more established side and expect those sides to drop points to them ? OK, so we are not those teams but we have a much longer presence in the PL than they do, we have much bigger gates and we have been in the CL twice as well as regular Euro football in the period between 1994 and 1997. There is no comparison between the 2 clubs and when at SJP, we SHOULD be able to beat these teams...just as we expect little from games at the Top 8 right now. They will finish above us, as will many other teams. It's a shame we lost, but it was a poor result and not time to panic yet. Adjusting from the championship to the prem takes some doing so it's not a suprise to me that we are inconsistent.
  7. If that is his comments/justifications...then he has clearly not learnt his lessons. Yes Chris it is good to have goal scorers on the pitch but could you not see that HBA in the middle (replacing the knackered Nolan) with Jonas on the left would have been more of a threat than having two immobile strikers 'supported' by the lumbering Nolan? nolan got his chance at the end, which if he had scored would have justified Hughtons decision. unfortunately- he fluffed it.
  8. poor result but we're still 10th in the league
  9. not Hughton, which is a breath of fresh air
  10. We were never going to get an easy path to the final. It just doesnt happen. Arsenal will play some reserves now, as opposed to if we met them later on. We have a chance against anyone at home imo. If we lose, we go out and dont waste any more time on it. however, if we can beat chelsea away, we can beat anyone. that should be the mentality.
  11. I've just come back from the Sukru Sarcacoglu stadium where I witnessed Fenerbahce v Besiktas! The only other interesting stadium is Estadio de Luz (Benfica).
  12. does this include freeSAT? I dont have a sky subscription but we do have the sky digibox
  13. The draw would be nice to be honest, keep both teams down with us
  14. wolves, blackpool, stoke losing. west ham and bolton drawing, WBA and sunderland drawing. If that stays the same then great!
  15. "Love?" was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, performed in English by Donna and Joe. LÖVE is a free cross-platform 2D framework for computer games development. It is completely driven by the Lua programming language. ove (사랑 - Sarang) is a 2007 South Korean film directed by Kwak Kyung-taek. Kwak Kyung-taek's most notable film is Chingoo. A Love stars Ju Jin-mo from 200 Pounds Beauty and Park Si-yeon. score of zero in tennis or squash; but perhaps more appopriately: be enamored or in love with; "She loves her husband deeply"
  16. Do you love Newcastle united? I for one don't. I personally think its really cringeworthy when you hear plastic chelsea fans kissing the badge on their shirt and saying "I am in love with this club". Footballers as well: fair enough for Shearer, Le Tissier, Gerrard et al but not for those who bang on about loving a club before getting a big money transfer elsewhere. I'm not going to begrudge anyone genuine using the term, but for me I would never use this term in a footballing context. I support my team, I follow my team but I do not love my team. I love my family. Any thoughts?
