Could just be NUFC home tops against "others" really. Would be easier.

Put me as standby!! I'll still come & watch though can you work a camera well? cos if you're watching, that'd be ideal. you'd still get a game i'd imagine if someone knackared or gets injured.

I would say there's a pretty good chance of at least one person dropping out for whatever reason. Bearing in mind Greg and someone else said they had injuries and weren't sure.

No. I'd much rather we bought Mark Noble.

At the very least there'll be plenty of photos. Like I said, Craig Hope style crappy captions.

That's part of the thing I guess, whether we're all crap or not.

Some people consider it part of the game to go, "Pah, shinpads? For foreigners and pansies!" - I wasn't going to bother wearing them (and it's not because I think like that!). Are you fast? If you're fast and up against me, you'll need them. No! I'm about as pedestrian as Nicky Butt! When I go to buy some new astroturf trainers in January, I might just get a cheapo pair of shinnies if I can't dig a pair out.

If you're talking about the meet and not Wullie's goal (cos that would be just immature frankly ) then yes, I'll be taking a camera along and taking a few action shots. Who knows, I may even come up with some Craig Hope style captions!

thats excellent

get him to come to the N-O football meet!

Not 100%, but Fat Joe said this today: "But looking ahead to Sunday we'll probably have Butt and Guthrie back and maybe, just maybe, Duff as well." They're back in training and off PhysioRoom.com as well. If he had any sense he'd play the same team that started last week then bring Butt on to replace Geremi once he started to run out of gas. This might be a bit complicated for Kinnear though, so I'm pinning my hopes on Tony Adams making even worse decisions on the day. Clutching at straws but we have to live in hope. Spot on. But Kinnear won't think of that, like you say.

Could always push up, eh Nixon? Come up for corners and set pieces etc, you could always nab one

Alright buzza, thats a shame, but thanks for letting us know anyhow.

Should be easier to do it that way, then pick the rest of the team around that balanced spine.

I'll ask Stephen later to send PM's to people who haven't been in the thread since we shamelessly upped it. If he's not about, I'll do it. In terms of picking positions that involve two (so CB, CM and CF) we should try and do it to make the most interesting mixtures - so possibly big-man little man up front, one creative and one defensive CM, one classy and one clogger CB I'm just a lanky streak of piss who can head, shoot, hold up and tackle.

Good luck for that, Wullie. If you can play striker that's wicked, one of the positions we're short in as Rich outlined a moment ago. Now, if we can get everyone who's declared interest to the venue, it's going to be a good game by the sounds of things.

That may come back to haunt you.

Depends where you're starting from, Lien. Feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to describe a route to you. My MSN's in profile as well actually, that would probably be easier.

How's either of the dates and the venue for you, Lien?

Can remember Parker trying to tackle literally with his head before he was basically forced off. Was one of the most committed performances I've ever seen. The game was also one of the worst performances from Shola, ever. Even worse than Hull (h) this season.

Aye, got my dates wrong there. I'd be happy with either of those too. I'll ask Stephen to edit something into the OP later and we'll try get a bit of a concensus going. Might even be worth PMing people who don't say something in the thread.

FUN FACT: Kazenga's brother Jay used to play for my dad's Sunday league team. If Kaz LuaLua isn't on the bench this weekend it's a) inept and b) ignorant from Kinnear. Give him fifteen minutes, what's the harm?

They're slightly smaller than 11 a side pitches, yes. Astroturf ones have slightly-smaller than normal goals on as well, as far as I can remember (over 18 months since I last went) they have floodlights on. So, I'd like to propose either 12th January or 18th January?
