I can't see us getting back into this.

R. Taylor for Smith, not seen much of Smith, and R. Taylor for me can give us pace on the right (providing Guthrie goes into the middle) which would stretch them.

HT predictions. Still a very very close 2-1 to us like I said at the start of the game.

Aye, great game for neutral. I'd take the most boring 2nd half ever if we win.

Jonas has done well, I'd just love to see someone do the same on the right. I'd bring on Taylor, put Guthrie in the centre and take Smith off.

Penalties are fun The thing is, most other teams would almost certianly have a goal from one, not us.

We get this next goal then I think we will win, it will bring them out more and we should be able to take them apart on the counter.

They have been all over us in the last few minute, hopefully this freekick will allow us to get out of our own area.

Wow, I read this and thought premonition.

They are only any good on the counter attack, and I think they are just too weak for us at the back.

I'm still searching for our thread about them losing 7-2, oh yes we did have one.

How many fouls did Thomas want to give away there?

We are crap at getting the ball back.

Yup, we level in this half, then we will win I think.

They still seem pretty shaky at the back, and a good ball through and theyare very vunrable, but so are we. Bloody Harper and playing cool when he's got a man on him, kick the bloody ball away you stupid idiot.

Yes, I hope nothing gets to him, be grat if he can score our winner.

The Northern Rock Plc Logo is exactly the same as the Old Northern Rock. So the current strip will look exactly like the current strip! I was going to get a mock up done saying plus 4 more years, but it may turn out to look like a bad advert for Labour. Don't want 4 more years of that shit.

This. You coming over to SSC later Johnny?

Tesco's are more interested in forming their own bank by having instore branches, along with buying branches that RBS, and Lloyd TSB have to sell off aswell as some of the Allience & Liecester branches Abbey will sell before it is merged with them fully. If the government sell off the 'good bank' (which is the one that will be sponsoring NUFC) within a year they are idiots and deserve to be shot. Why sell when the Financial market is at a low? They might as well hang on to Northern Rock and their Lloyds TSB and RBS shares until banking is booming again and then sell high. If Virgin, Tesco or Metro (some American bank) do buy Northern Rock surely the deal would have changed and therefore they wouldn't have to sponsor NUFC any more? Anyway, I now await a huge number of 'Daily Mail' readers and Southern tossers to start complaining that public money is being spent on NUFC via this sponsorship deal. Nah, wouldn't be a good idea, they would end up having to pay a high early release charge on the contract, and that is if NUFC agreed to it, if they didn't thne they would have to see out thev remanider of the contrat without any way of getting out of it cheaply. Plus it wouldn't look good for the company if they did that.

Yeah change the Tyne tunnel section float away to, "is floated into place, Northern Rock secures new deal with NUFC, and Labour do fuck all to help kids or anyone else" then they have pretty much got it spot on.

it would be great if we went up and they went down, though I doubt it's going to happen.

I'm not to botherd about Northern Rock sponsoring us, infact I'm pleased a local company is sponsoring us, so long as we get a good deal. It's just that I don't really want the fairly cheap looking Virgin Logo slapped across our chests, and as things stand Northern Rock within the next 6 months - 1 year is going to be bought and re-branded Virgin Bank. Still, I wounder if in future season ticket holders will have access to cheaper flights, and reductions on rail travel, virgin media etc and better savings and mortgage deals? I doubt it but you never know.

A 3-4 year deal at £10m (if we get £10m) doesn't seem so bad then for what is currently a Championship club.

Either a very very close 1-0 or 2-1 win to us, lets go 9 pts clear of 3rd.
