And remind me never to take tips from random people on the internet again!

Shamrock 2-1 up with 10 mins to go, one more goal needed!

http://www.blogonthetyne.co.uk/2012/02/scott-parker-couldnt-handle-th.html It's about 2 weeks old so apologies if it's been discussed, but what a load of fcking shite from Lee Ryder

He says he expects to start against Wolves considering the form he's in, despite Cabaye and Tiote returning. And it's implied that whether he does or not could have a major impact on his decision to sign a new contract. http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2012/02/15/danny-guthire-expects-to-to-face-wolverhampton-61634-30333107/

What's the crack with so many reserve games, both home and away, being played behind closed doors? I'm sure it never used to be like that

I didn't even realise there had been a midweek round of games. It's getting interesting now, AC Milan slipped up at Lazio leaving Juve top by one point with a game in hand, while Inter drew 4-4 with Palermo, 4 goals for Milito and a hattrick for Miccoli!

Worst of all, the vidiprinter has disappeared from the menu. I now have to click on every individual game to to find out who scored in each game

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16482590.stm Another example of player power going too far for me. Aaron ramsay whinging because he hasn't been consulted by the FAW over the appointment of the new Wales manager. I think he needs to learn his place, why should the players have any say over who the new manager will be?

It's kicking off in Twitter land after someone alerted Gabrielle marcotti to Jeff winters bigoted views on his website. Something to do with Catholics being Nazi kiddy fiddlers. Marcotti got in touch with him amidst suggestions he was hacked, but winter still hasn't actually denied it was him

You could presume that the likes of the Palestinians and Tongans don't watch a lot of football and are judging on reputation, but what is john toshacks excuse for voting eto'o into 3rd place and messi nowhere?!

Very rarely see free kicks given for back passes these days. An incident on motd last night got me thinking about this. In the Norwich game a defender made a last ditch save on the line, and kicked it straight into the keepers arms. Wondering whether that was deemed accidental, therefore legal, or if the rule just isn't being enforced as much

Never seen a more misleading thread title Will be a shame if they go under though, Reynolds well and truly fucked them over. Think starting afresh at feethams might be the best solution

Thought shearer vs villa in 2001 might have been there. 40 yard ball from rob lee across the field and shearer volleyed it into the top corner, schmeichel didnt even move

That's one of the main reasons I can't stand them. the amount of times I've watched us put in awful performances against them in that horrible empty shithole in the middle of a big wasteland. I think the league cup game under souness was the first too, possibly the worst Newcastle performance I've ever seen

And yes I concur, dodgy as fuck

Ah apologies, I didn't bother to check!

What's dodgy about it? It came down to Lyon and ajax's head to head record so makes no difference if it was 2-1 or 7-1

I was always under the impression he was a left back at inter despite being right footed. Anyway, with the talk of him playing centre half at the weekend, has he ever played there at any level for any team?

3-0, another belter, had a tenner on br, wish I'd stuck a bit more on

Henry winter on twitter - disappointed to see sammy ameobi refer to st James' park as 'the arena'. Have Nufc players been told to? It'll always be at James' park

Anyone but cardiff in that case. And isn't it just the team that wins that get into Europe regardless of whether their opponents in the final have already qualified?

Agreed, much easier to navigate now. However, they seem to have got rid of the city guide section, was always a good read and very informative, shame if they don't replace it

Anyone go to any of these places recently? Reckon they'll have the Man city game on?

He does own it. Guess that makes me look a bit daft! I always thought the stadium was owned by the council, when did that change?

Don't know if this point has been raised, but can Ashley change the name of a stadium he doesn't even own?
