why not? No one is that dumb, especially if you're a successful business man or affiliated with one.

If Viduka stays and stays fit, then yes.

I can't believe anyone is actually believing this shit. There's no way in hell anyone affiliated with the top of this club would have that on their kit at the last home match of the season.

Easy to say in hindsight.

People actually believe this kind of shit? "A source"? All sounds pretty made up tbh.

That Leeds kit actually looks pretty smart.

I only ever buy white boots. my newest ones: http://tsa.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/p5728569reg.jpg

Not at all.

It's nice to watch people not dive at every bit of contact (like Alves and Drogba tonight). I always appreciate a player that moves about the pitch and only goes down if there is serious contact, there's too many players these days that go down under such minimal contact it's sickening. Imagine the number of players that could be world-class if they didn't spend half their time on the ground. Stay up, keep the ball, do something your team rather than just diving to get a free-kick.

Xisco.

This. One point is better than zero although we all wish it could've been three.

Love the look of that bench - we can really change the game with just a few subs (barton and jonas in particular). Feeling a lot better than I did earlier.

Really - it's been said already but I'll add my two cents for post of the year. I will remember this for quite some time.

I don't think they won a match in their first season, so yes. There is so much parity in the MLS that any team can beat another team on any day - there's no real stand out favorites ie: Man U/Chelsea type of clubs. So having an about-even record in matches is about right.

If Enrique is fit, Jonas has to start in front of him, they both flourish when in those positions.

Just watched a few interviews with him on nufc.tv and he is definitely "buzzing" quite a bit.

While Ive got nowt against the players going out, it does piss me off a bit that we are all bricking it that we are going down, and they are out getting totally hammered. Especially as Xisco has done absolute fuck all since coming, and Jonas has hardly produced out. Not that this is the thread for this kind of non-sense but him doing "fuck all since coming" is hardly his fault. He'd actually have to get played for him to do fuck all.

Sambuca? Oh wait, Xisco was there.

Him and Xisco are both victims of circumstance. This. I wish they both would've been fit the whole season and we had proper managers that would/knew how to play them.

I'd much rather take a chance with this guy if he's fit rather than having Butt "running" the midfield, to be honest.

Why is he still training here, does he like the Tyneside weather (which is admittedly pretty good right now)? Probably because he's contracted to the club and is a professional.

very precocious from a ten year old!

Our major issue with moving the ball around is the glaring lack of movement off the ball. The majority of our players just stand there with their arms pointing at the ground waiting for the ball without making an intelligent run. This is why Lovenkrands is invaluable. He moves intelligently off the ball and will hopefully make some of the other players in the squad perk their ears up and take a look.

Likewise, my friend is getting married on a safari a week before the WC and I am the best man so I will be there and we are doing the honeymoon @ the WC because he can get free tickets through his company. Really looking forward to it.

Whoa buddy, slow down - you're starting to sound like Big Sam.
