There were so many occasions where good fortune for NUFC was greeted with negativity from the stands just because it meant Souness didn't get the sharp end of Freddie's boot for a bit longer.

That's actually fucking staggering.

Shola to score against the Mackems has to be the next forum bet like

The 442/433 stuff is like one of the old Crystal Maze games where the contestant would be doing completely the wrong thing, all the teammates outside would be shouting "No! Alan! 4-3-3!" and he carries on doing the 4-4-2 to no avail.

Dreamt last night that we lost 3-1

I'd start with the following side: Krul Santon Coloccini Taylor Ferguson Ben Arfa Tiote Cabaye Gutierrez Ba (just behind) Shola

There's a pub where I live offering anyone who spends £6 on drinks between 6.30pm and full time a free pint/beverage if England win by a margin of 6 goals or more. Doubt they'll have to shell out on that.

I think defenders to score in an England win might be a good bet tomorrow, chances are we'll win loads of corners.

I was so annoyed that Cisse was subbed every game and Ba left on at the end of last season. "Ba needs a goal, though!" was the cry from a lot of people on here, yet none ever acknowledged that Ba looked so shot after about 55 minutes that he had very little chance of actually getting one.

The players just seem to have no confidence in him at all.

Flogging popcorn at cinemas is the biggest mark-up iirc. Bag of popcorn, I'm sure the bag costs more than the actual popcorn. It's like 4p per bagful and they sell it for £4.50 or something. It's mental.

most sensible post I've seen. wp

:lol:

Should get a vote going in here when there's some made and then do our best to get them noticed by this Wonga fans forum thingy.

I think pretty much everyone (especially at the moment) would take a point in the away derby. Four points off the mackems is a good return considering how tense and unpredictable the derbies tend to be.

I don't understand why we're trying to integrate him into the squad etc now when he'll be away on a free in the summer. The time to do that, if we wanted to, was fucking ages ago.

Yeah, I agree with everything here especially the bolded bit. It just seems like our time for a defeat in this fixture.

Bingo. You actually can't criticise a one-off poor performance on this forum without people suggesting you have an agenda or of being a 'knee-jerker'. It's nearly as boring as the Giggs thing.

Yep, agree with this. He does have some good performances, but when we lose he's normally at least part of the reason why.

Maybe if Warwick Davis was in net then I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, but I reckon the vast majority of PL 'first choice' keepers would have saved it. A few of the second choice ones would have too. Please tell me - will Krul be back for the derby?

I can see it now. Five goal haul from the Xisc machine against Villa reserves. Place on the bench against the Mackems. Makes an 85th minute entry for an ailing Shola who has bagged our goal, which has since been equalised. Xisco scores a backheel from 20 yards and then runs out of the ground celebrating, never to be seen again.

He was absolutely minging today but apart from Perch, Santon and partial exceptions for Ferguson and Jonas, all of our players were.

If anything he's probably too meticulous; he worries about the strong points of the opposing team and therefore the possibility of us getting beat instead of concentrating on what we're good at/our own strengths.

You just know we'll sleepwalk onto the pitch and batter long balls at Cisse until the Mackems take the lead; at which point we'll actually start to look like we give a shit. Ben Arfa is capable of absolutely killing them, though. Time to make himself a hero.
