Neil is going to do a Pissi!

LEON IS THE BEST!!!

Nice one Besty! Great striker's goal(*) Wasn't Birtles total garbage after his big move to Manure? (*) Assuming your name is Suarez, Torres, etc. Andy Johnson even.

Does this Nolan do a chicken dance too?

Time to stick a one million or two million price tag on methinks. Just enough for spite and not enough to stop it if this is what's going to happen. And if he goes there, it tells you all you need to know about "best English midfielder" and "top 4 interest". I wonder which division him and Nolan will be playing in next season. I wouldn't bet on it being the top one.

A big one for them now is the danger of slipping out of the top four. The drop in income from losing CL football makes it much more difficult to get back in. Harder to attract top four level players too, esp. from overseas where you can get them cheaper and are allowed to shop if you have already have English players like Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott, Gibbs, etc.

Colo motm

Justice done for that Webb howler Well done lads!

First direct free kick goal since when?!!!!!

What the feck is the ref supposed to be looking at at a corner if not the ball?

Don't like to credit Spuds for anything, but they usually get good fees in and don't give owt away.

Shola's got 5 in 10 league games against them. Unleash the beast!

In business terms, perhaps the City of Newcastle (i.e., the people) could trademark "Newcastle" and only licence the name to the club if it operated in the interests of the people. Ashley and those before him may own the club but none of them have ever owned what the club represents. They are getting a free ride on tradition and regional pride.

Roger Tames on Fox Soccer ffs.

Well, after heavy words were so lightly thrown, here we are with him about to start in the season opener. Go get them Joey son!

Aye, Howay the Lads!

12th with a striker coming in or twenty games for HBA 9th

Fantastic case for the prosecution there.

Must admit to celebrating that goal. A draw would be least worst for me. Lots of cards though please.

For anyone playing commentator cliche bingo, Sky Sports took 58 seconds from kickoff to give it the "famous European nights at Anfield".

That's what it looked to me.

With Woy, there's hope! Give them Shola. Didn't WBA have the second lowest wage bill after Blackpool?

Yes, I meant the managers, not Ashley and his cronies for a change. I'd forgotten about Duff, but yes, ffs on that one too.

Pulis looks pretty handy so I can imagine him chinning Barton if he gets any backchat about who takes the freekicks or whether he's supposed to play for throw-ins.
