Indian Voyage - 1.40pm Newcastle Huybrechts, Baxter, Thornton, K. Anderson - Darts accy.

Greyhound in the Felling got fined £10,000 at the back end of last season. The Bay Horse in Windy Nook got a similar fine. Other bars in the area have, understandably, shit themselves and removed the foreign systems. They're just money grabbing cunts - publicans just want to make a living and there is a heavy reliance on showing Newcastle games to get punters at a time when it's a real struggling industry.

I'm normally a nervous wreck in the week leading up to the game. This year I just don't seem to give a fuck about it. So 0-3, 1-2, 2-1, 5-1 - it doesn't bother me nowadays unfortunately thanks to Alan Pardew. Hoepfully by Sunday I'll have that fire in my belly because I used to really enjoy derby day.

He's done better than I expected but he is still an utter cunt.

He's growing on me. By no means the finished article, but I have to admit that I may have been wrong in my early assessment of him. Happy to admit that and long may it continue.

Horses that will be losing today: 1.00pm Aintree - Our Mick 2.40pm Aintree - Sam Winner 2.20pm Navan - Blood Cotil 3.00pm Sandown - Balder Success Lucky 15.

He's not starting.

He tried to save it with his gut. He couldn't even be arsed to stretch his arms out man. Absolute joke and yet there's still some defending him

Felling CC? If so I'm about 2mins away. I wish... Would've been cheaper... Burnley CC I thought you might have arranged to watch it in here!

Just a heads up for you and others travelling to this game... Be on your guard as it's going to get naughty by all accounts with a few of the old guard hooligans preparing to sort out their differences after the attack on our fans in the pre-season tournament in Germany... Can't say too much but heard it on good authority things are in motion... Would avoid wearing your colours for this game... Stay safe This 100%.

He's improved greatly. He's never a left back. I still don't think he's good enough, long term, for the PL.

Monkey Bar is back to what is used to be - pool table, free jukebox and the foreign channels back in. Will be heaving this afternoon I'd imagine.

Personally I'm enjoying watching Abeid play so pretty pleased he's available but it's a risk. He'll probably be in pain and play poorly, resulting in the king dropping him off the Earth forever.

I keep telling myself it can't be true then I keep picturing Pardew and realise it probably is

Nah. He couldn't have, could he? I just want to give up on this fucking club like.

League cup. Beat me to it.

Looking at that list it looks they all have. But keep that quiet, eh? Just continue to tell yourself that Pardew gets the best out of good players

He's Liverpool fan and doesn't really have an opinion on Pardew unfortunately.

Pardew is currently in Barcelona. Sitting next to my mate in a bar.

I fucking love(d) Laurent Robert. On Sunday morning me and my Dad were sitting watching all his goals on some YT video. Class act

Ryan Ledson, according to my Everton supporting mate.

To quote Ray Hudson, he's been magisterial lately.
