Hopefully Chelsea can win for screwing Spurs over and boosting our coefficient. But I won't be actively cheering them on.....i'll just silently nod if they do it. They've got some horrible human beings.

Yep, it's always a great listen. Vickery and Brassell are outstanding, although recently they've had Luke Moore from The Football Ramble on. He's easily the best on the TFR but he's been exposed on the the phone in IMO saying that not many people match up to Brassell in terms of all round knowledge of European football. Plus he likes the Toon. Aye I noticed that too. On last week's phone-in he passed on a few questions, which Brassell wouldn't do. Wheelock is pretty good too, but I think the show needs to cover Asia more.

They're 7 hours ahead of us, so 10am here is 5pm there.

The problem with Brazil is they have grueling state championships before the national one, so there's far too many games. And these state competitions will often see national giants play teams with barely hundreds of fans....they need to sort it out and streamline it. Is Teixeira's replacement likely to change this or not?

And Spain are an hour ahead, so it'd have to be 10am over here.

To be fair, if you calculate the table since O'Neill arrived, give them the derby win (FTM!!!!) and awarded them 4 points for a win, they probably are.

No way Brummie will be getting flashbacks. Typical MON would be to play him at right back at the expense of actual full back specialists at the club wouldn't it..? God, if this is true it's a brilliant start to their summer transfer activities. I can see a small flame just past Penshaw Monument, it must be the transfer window again!

After gracing Barrow, Shrewsbury and Rochdale I guess he thinks he's ready for the Champions League.

Would be class if Sunderland got him

Who thought it was a good idea to put Ribery on TV pre-watershed?

Rodgers has got his head screwed on, well done mate I love it when managers don't give in to this stuff - he's much better off staying at Swansea and not being tempted by a job which will clearly go wrong for whoever gets it. A 12 man shortlist the board are panicking already!

Any chance we can lock this thread for a day so I can get my breath back? This is getting to 'Daft Confessions' level, which is a great compliment.

I know we've been linked with Zaha previously, but Daily Star and Daily Mail both think he's off to Sunderland.

Oh shiiiiit, this is brilliant I've never seen a more damning image of incest.

Yep, Clyne can piss off

Would love Clyne but I've got my heart set on Debuchy now. Doubt we'd get both.

Good shout with Can't Control

Speaking of Martinez, here's a detailed look at the super duper 3-4-3 that made Wigan look like world beaters. http://www.zonalmarking.net/2012/05/16/wigan-stay-up-after-a-switch-to-3-4-3/

Nah, they're going Welsh with this one. Welsh ? Preferably one with curly hair that shags his sister-in-law.

"Hi, my name is Sewelly. I'm a proud member of Newcastle Online but I enjoy visiting fan forums of Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Blackburn, Wigan, Leicester, Middlesbrough, Preston, Sunderland, Arsenal, Bradford...." - two minutes later - ".....Empoli, Freiburg, Boston United, Fleetwood, Barcelona, Botafogo (I don't even speak Portuguese!), Go Ahead Eagles, Guangzhou Evergrande...." - another two minutes later - ".....Luton, Dukla Prague, Havant & Waterlooville, Catanzaro, Caracas FC and I can't remember the last one. Is it Barnet? Hmm yeh, I think it's Barnet. Now, where was I?"

I still have fond memories of Owen's twitter meltdown after that reception. We broke him.

Definitely. Forget the Euros, signing a full back or finally putting out the flames of the mackem transfer blaze - THIS should be the highlight of the summer.
