you're not slating zoggy after that performance are you? give it a rest

was quality today but i think the LB stole the show> howay the zog!

Rating everyone using smileys Harper- Beye- Rozenhal- cacapa- Zoggy- smith- geremi- milner- crossing still: Butt: Viduka- Owen- martins- .. and at the miss enrique- taylor:

*sigh... off to arsenal then

No martins, booo!

A tad rascist

Fair enough then, its basically on the fence.. depends really how you look at it. Funny how the pricks who sparked this debate are conspicuously missing? Rodrigo and Deep? Hit n run evidently..

where was this a few months ago? still, well done- good to see that the derby game wasn't a complete failure, just showed the nufc big-boys what we're seriously lacking.

should've said intelligently uninclined.. pardon me for my political incorrectness was it sarcastic though?.. sounded pretty malicious in my view, but its a free country he can scream his slurs from his rooftop. for all i care Malicious? Really..... As usual, the sensitivity and intolerance of some people toward certain subjects often leads to massive exaggeration. not an exaggeration.. if i was a muslim woman i'd be pretty offended. wouldn't say i was overly sensitive i just saw it in a different way to you that's all. i'm defending free speech but at the same time recognising that what rodrigo said could be considered by the muslim community as insulting- and i'm the intolerant one?

No, he's an ugly troll. you say that now.. but when he shows up at your door naked with a bouquet of daffodils, you'll quickly change your tune. newcasle fans are so fickle

Never said you did (I know I said I wouldn't comment further, but just to clear that up) i just wanted to enforce the point.. just in case

Very respectful . yeah Rodrigo is the epitome of tolerance Ban Rodrigo please. We can not and should not tolerate racism. Sigh...funny how islam always brings about the banning of freedom of speech if anyone dares speak against them, isnt it ? You should be bloody ashamed of yourself to suggest something as despicable. What I will suggest is locking the subject as tempers are rising (and pomposity from some going into overdrive) and there is NO chance of agreeing with each other. I'm not commenting any more on the subject today, as whats the point ? You have every right to say what your saying.. misinformed as it is. but racism shouldn't really be tolerated whether to muslims or black people etc.., you're ok though since you show reasoning whereas rodrigo just came out with a big ol' racist humdinger. no reason 4 a ban though, let's just keep it friendly Look up the definition of racism. Commenting on the clothes people wear is not a big deal. I think jocks look stupid in their kilts. Since I'd guess the majority who wear kilts are white men, if I'm a black man does that statement constitute racism in your opinion? Your marginalizing to a stupid degree.. Its part of their religion for muslim women to wear those "black shits" (as rodrigo so elequantly put it) so saying what he did was, in effect, a slander against their religion. i'm not saying he should be banned, never did, just said he was intolerant. wats-his-name said he should've been banned

fancied us winning this match when i first saw the fixture.. but after the donkey turd of the derby match i can see us struggling. Funny how one match can make a world of difference, hopefully i'll be saying that after this match too.

You've just done it yourself - but the mirror image. eh? Besides the last bit of your post all you've done is generalise.. Your perception of islam is flawed, the majority of muslims are vehemently apposed to terrorism and the lads you talk about are the loony extremists.

we have enough strikers

Love all these generalisations

lived in saudi arabia for a while (not there anymore) and, yeah tmonkey's spot on.. besides its not that extreme; they absolutely gorge themselves at 4am (before sunrise) so that they can comfortably go through the day- the harder part is to keep pure a few friends fall in to the trap of swearing. Then at sundown.. a real feast> actually its a pretty amazing experience, i've tried fasting many a time and the food just tastes better. its a shame to see some people on this thread slating a religion, that clearly already gets enough stick. not a muslim btw

Who the hell eats their breakfast, dinner and tea at work in a single day? I scoff a bowl of porridge at home at about 6am each day. I have a salad at about midday at work and have my tea at home in the evening. Nobody at work sees me eat 3 times. bunch of wankers doing it on purpose "oi that guys fasting, lets eat all day in front of him"

they can't do a lot of things during the fast: swearing and lying included. At fatoor (when the sun falls and evening prayers begin) they can break their fast.

Very respectful . yeah Rodrigo is the epitome of tolerance

anybody else impressed by fulham? didn't see the match but they always produce cracking games, and at 3-3 it sounds like a good'un. Shame it wasn't on for me

Not to sound defensive... but in what way is it a stupid question? (albeit not as interesting as HTL's ) owen has done nothing to deserve a place yet he is constantly making the teamm whereas the backbone (goal-wise) of last seasons team is left out. he's a class player and in a team that look like they're running in a thick goop of snot ( tried to forge a link there) his blistering pace should make him a regular first-teamer Owen is a far superior team player than Martins, who is a bit of a loose cannon and one-man band. I like Martins, but he needs to improve his general team play imo. I'm hopeful if he is patient and doesn't spit his dummy out that he will learn from Owen and become a much better player than he is now. How then does he learn when he's not playing alongside owen, or getting limited game time? He's a great prospect- yes he has to learn- and a great player, it just pains me to see his confidence wane away when he doesn't start.... He learns by general day to day work. I don't believe Owen and Martins can form an effective partnership, so he can't learn from Owen on match day. After saying that, I'd partner Owen with Martins ahead of partnering Owen with Ameobi. That's one of the reasons I mentioned the other day about FS not being able to see the wood for the trees. He automatically went for the "big man," "short arse" irrespective of the fact that Ameobi should be on the beach. He should have started with Owen and Smith up front, there's no doubt about that at all imo, but if FS wants to continue with the stupidity of using Smith in midfield, then he should have started with Owen and Martins. In fact, I'd sooner Given had started and FS had gone with Owen and Harper up front, than Ameobi. And I'm not joking. Yes a good sunbathe would solve all his problems.. i for one would love to see them both (martins and owen) play together on a regular basis..

How? should've added a wink then?
