yep, for once we have a 'team' in the proper sense of the word. if the buttster helps create that we should maybe offer him a coaching role if he's retiring because i'm sure chris and colin would welcome his help and experience out on the training pitch

he was unlucky last night, the shot that came back off the bar was sweetly struck, and the way he brought down the ball for another chance he put over the bar was impressive too. i think he'll be ok once he finally gets that first goal

well done 'this great group of lads'!

oh i know that, just last season when colo was having trouble settling in we could have done with an experienced 'leader' at the back and after gallas got dropped/stripped of the captaincy it seemed like it was a remote possibility that we could have got him on loan at the time as it looked like his arsenal career was over at the time

to be honest, i thought we'd have taken him on loan in last season's january window after his spat with wenger, to say kinnear and wenger are supposed to be mates.

Always gutted one of them wasn't called Bobby

^ the shit thing is that it works a lot of the time though. bastards!

yep... either that or graham fucking fenton

aye, tbf if i was at adidas i'd want the adidas kit to be in all of the pictures of potential trophy presentations, we've played in their kit all season to promotion and possible title, i can see why they would want any presentations of trophies to be done when whilst we're still wearing their kit (i know that wasn't the case when we got presented with the trophy in asics kit, having worn umbro all that season)

i went to sunderland uni 99-02, and i remember seeing this arse outside the royalty smashing brown ale bottles because newcastle had scored past sunderland and they were 'from fucking newcastle, fucking stupid geordie bottles'

They're still wrangling with Tesco about planning, they won't proceed with the demolition until everything is agreed with what is going in its place. I'll be sad to see it go, would rather have seen it refurbished and made part of the new developments. Will be good to see some shops actually worth going to in the heed though, might help liven up the town centre a bit. town centre is a hole, and i wouldn't dare even go for a piss in the pubs Not wrong there. Last time I was back in Gateshead in 2005, I had to make an emergency dash to a pub at the bottom of the High Street, just opposite Boots the Chemist about lunch time. Jeez, I thought I walking into a fifth world nation ablution establishment. The f***ing smell was revolting and guess you could say I never pissed so quickly in my life. and that's one of the better pubs, the nag's heed

too right! i doubt he'd be up for signing for us though. not sure how much he'd cost either, probably out of our range

i'm so glad reebok don't make our kit. also that new liverpool sponsor looks odd, makes the shirt look like some lesser known european team

to be honest, i thought we'd end up in and around/just missing out on the play off positions this season, even had the 3 amigo's left. i'm bloody glad they didn't though

that reminds me of PSG a bit i'll have a go at a yellow and green ajax style one http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/3585/yellowajax.jpg

I did have a go at making a yelow and green striped away a couple of times with varying thickness of stripes but they looked like old style west brom away shirts. I tried the yellow and green halfy shirts in the style of the barca kits from a couple of seasons back but I realised it was looking too much like the newton heath shirts, glazer's out and all that

i had a go at something a little different. most will probably hate it http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/3245/different.jpg

I'd be pleased with pedersen on a free. He'd be a decent signing. He doesn't really fit the allardyce style of play

would be typical to knock back 'the next gazza' for being too wee like. i'd have to hope it wasn't true

i'm sure we wouldn't have to pay anything because of him coming through arsenal's youth teams etc before he signed for brum
