Honeymoon period marra

Man of the match.

Feel bad for the guy, he has shown flashes of good stuff and it takes a bit of time to adapt to the league. Hope he comes good for us. Regardless, you have to be smarter, there was NO need for that.

You're out of your fucking depth Pards

What shit from Santon

Gouffran also scored in that cup game + He has scored in the Prem this season and yet to start. I reckon its just a sign to Cisse that he has had his chance; most likely to come later in the second half.

I can only speak for myself as I am immersed in the culture here, one reason being the football of course. But to answer your question - I guess it varies from person to person. You know now that I think of it, its an appreciation of British culture as a whole however an extra soft spot for the North which is where I live.

Originally from Middle East (Gulf to be precise) - was 15 years old, at the time not exactly somewhere full of anything besides Top 4 supporters (United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal) at the time (and Spurs/City were crap) and my P.E teacher in Middle School was a Geordie, I guess I picked it up from there. I guess after seeing ''Goal'' not so long after as well I wanted to investigate. Started following Newcastle but after switching schools that year (to a one with loads more football fans / top 4 glory w*****s). Still stuck with the club. Not very long after read and watched all the history (well recent history, 80s, 90s) and was well informed. First match was during my final year of high school, during summer, flew to catch our home game against Reading (championship) and Sheffield Wed (Amoebi 1 - 0 at home) ; absolutely loved it. So much that I flew in again during Xmas to catch the Boro and Derby home games. Decided to get my university education here, now I am a student doing the course I like and also supporting my club. By now I've gained a huge love to the North in particular and consider it home away from home. .... 7 years later we're still s****. But I never regret what I think was meant to be. (Ending up following this club, I can relate to it after all.)

These guys are finally starting to gel under Martinez, sadly as its an away game and knowing our defence - 2-0 loss.

Cisse rubbish all season

Fuck off.

Clearly nothing happening today.

Goalkeeper?! Fuck sake.

This is fucking boring

Jusy saw the Cardiff result. Fuck you Alan you negative useless piece of shit.

Fucking hell Nolan has slimmed down

You really had to start a thread for that?

Two penalties given away, Red Card and looks a ticking time bomb every time he plays. Sorry mate - but I'm really really hoping we haven't got ourselves the Right Back equivalent of Boumsong here.

:thup: Geez, some of you are really cheap. Sorry but 15 quid is nothing to go see football, friendly or not, not been in ages.

I'm sure you know not everyone is the same, I paid 15 to get my football fix again as I'm going. Its been a while - I don't feel robbed paying that price either, Friendly or not I just want to have a seat at St. James' and watch the football again, missed it!

He didn't. He was tired in the mind, the soul and the body. And Europe too.

Oh the fucking Irony
