Eh, not even one of the countless cameras caught the action? The Barton haters must have deleted the footage.

No worries. Have to say I really like that clip though.

I think it's about the third time that clip was mentioned.

They lock people out for having tickets ffs. Anyway just hope and learn so that their WC will be great

Ironic that while Qatar considers it a publicity stunt, most people will take it as a subject of ridicule. I'm pretty much neutral on the Qatar win but having seen the mismanagement of the Asian Cup final and the lengthly anticlimax of the trophy presentation to an extent, I would say much needs to be changed. They'll have 11 years to do that though so time is on their side.

Great. Tell us more about the artificial clouds then. Will they be able to stimulate rain/thunder/etc? A lightning bolt just before the opposition taking a shot on goal would be nice.

Send Tavernier back to Gateshead then.

Wtf?

How much do you expect Henderson to go for?

All is not well at Sunderland...

If they stick to their current squad including loan signings, they will have a bit of trouble come next January with the potential departures to the ACoN - Gyan, Muntari, Sessegnon, Mensah, Elmo.

I remember the debacle that is the Asian Cup final and now this fancy gimmick. Maybe they should have air-conditioned vests for players next.

Add David Luiz. Both Suarez and him are good enough for Barca imo.

In a way he single-handedly dismantled the great Ajax team of 1995. Mental how many top players they lost on frees.

Just need to add Chubby Jason's Venom and we'll have a good team imo.

Well spotted. He's thicker than I thought if that IS a gun and he puts his guns together.

This? http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d190/DrKennethNoisewater/newcastleplayers.jpg

They really said that ? "Interesting", "Never seen this before".

Liverpool set pieces involving Carroll now just look like what we had. Clueless commentators saying they have never seen such a tactic before.

Gyan to do a reducer on Suarez for World Cup revenge, with both coming off with season-ending injuries.

Yeah why the thread title change? I thought it was just a simple 'Ryan Taylor' thread. Made me think which other NUFC there is.

Hypocrite that. Balotelli had probably learnt that high tackle from de Jong himself.

They should be looking to cross from wide areas or get free kicks and corners in dangerous areas instead of hoofing the ball direct from defence. Sadly Liverpool will be fine when they realise how to utilise him. I just hope it's nowhere soon.

This is like having to choose between Butt and Smith Absolutely right.

Had the effect of rival fans mocking him but that's all it is really. And he got the media shifting the focus from his players to him, which is probably what he wanted. Can see him with a smirk on his face now. Someone told me it applies to the dressing room as well, although I'm not sure if that's true. Read somewhere else that it applies to the dressing rooms only in Europe and not in the PL. It is an outdated rule, perhaps effective decades ago when there were no cellphones. Now it's near effortless sending a message to the bench that it's pretty much a useless rule.
