Parker and Noble worry me. This one really could go either way, but I think a draw.

Not a hate article, but a couple of very baffling paragraphs by our favourite mackem journalist..... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/oct/23/blackpool-newcastle-west-brom-promotion boldly attacking? climbing the goal charts (ignore 6-0)? positive tactics? i'd love to know which of our matches she saw.....

4 teams get promoted from league 2. Yeh, but why isn't league one/league two just 3 down/3 up as well? I might've brought this up in the past, actually.

While we're touching on this subject - if the Premiership and Championship normally relegate 3, why does League One relegate 4? Always found it a bit weird, because theres still just 24 teams.

2 to get relegated from the Championship, shirley?

Bet those at the masked gathering think they've convinced him to stay

I like that Shaqiri bloke at Basel. And no, thats not the saucy Colombian minx....

Why do people keep comparing this injury to Shearers? It was in response to the post above saying that Ben Arfa isn't an unknown quantity.

Jose kept him on as assistant and the Chelsea players often said great things about him. So thats promising.

This is weird.

And some thought he was clueless on here....maybe we should start the NO prediction league to beat them all

Tell that to Shearer...

dont know how likely it is, but i'd like to see nolan and carroll play on saturday. it could go either way, but i bet they'd be relieved to be playing again after the week they've had. some people react well to adversity.

Its funny watching everyone slag Rooney off on SSN. Bruce, Keane, McLeish etc. Ian Holloway went on a crazy rant about how wrong the Bosman ruling is too.

Would love him to mark Carroll on Saturday....they've clearly got a game of oneupmanship going on.

Poor Kev.

the kid is unproven. still to perform on a big stage

Arnautovic equalizes for Werder Bremen against his old club.

not quite 2-2, is it?

Intended to watch Barcelona tonight, but have to keep flicking now. No way am I missing Spurs get anally abused. Greatest night ever.

Absolute perfection, I love this. Hope Redknapp trips over his ultra-saggy cheeks, the wheeling dealing bastard.

Sounds like he's had a glimpse of the next few years and seen it wont be good. Think we've all suspected that they might go downhill soon, so for a Man United fan this must be very worrying. Fun to watch though.

...until we play Man City and De Jong is coming... Its ok, the other match with them is Boxing Day. So it'll be over with.....unless we do well in the FA Cup.

The fans were on his back straight away at Bolton, at least at Boro there wont be any there.....
