The post about Woodman

In the end, he just stopped jumping for headers man Pathetic how many challenges he lost today Because the ball was hit in the air nowhere near him and if he challenged he'd have gave a foul away. He won countless flick ons, passes etc. and didnt have a single person anywhere near him going for the second ball. The problem was the players supposed to be around him being nowhere near him. Perez, Ritchie, Hayden, Atsu, Mbemba were all worse than him today. People have a ridiculous dislike for him for no reason whatsoever and get at him the second we lose or he doesn't singlehandedly win us the game.

He'll be sacked after that.

Bad day at the office, Blackburn played to their game plan fantastically and deserved that. A drop back to reality after a fantastic run but nothing more than that imo.

I am enjoying the Championship, to be fair. Not really sure how that is insulting.

Doncaster look good value at home to Leyton Orient - 4/5 (£150). Backed them -1 at 15/8 (£50) and -2 (£50) at 5/1 too.

mackems to get embarrassed today like.

Expecting a win by at least 2 today, these are terrible and we've rolled over much better teams this season. Feel sorry for their fans like, terrible the way they are being strangled.

Aye, hamstring.

Armstrong coming off and then tucking into a strawberry Nesquik

Cant believe I didn't know the St Kitts and Nevis one.

Both teams look terrible defensively This could finish a right daft scoreline.

One of the worst things that someone is forced to deal with, huge amount of respect to Vlad and anyone else who has had to suffer anything of the sort. Sadly can see this escalating and turning into a huge investigation.

8,000... that'll be awesome. The Fernhurst will have to extend their tent like, cant wait for that. Well done Blackburn by the way, for allowing us to have that many.

Gave in after 18 minutes and hoyed £50 on a goal in the first half of the St Etienne match at Evs. EDIT - and that's why I shouldn't have bothered

Cashed out at HT for a very modest profit, wasn't worth the risk when they went down to 10. They'd have won that with 11 men on the field. Cant see much value tonight apart from them, so going to leave it tonight I think.

Astana's home form is good though, it's worth a smallish bet but I wouldn't risk a lot on it. It's good value though, hence why I'll have a little punt on it.

Apoel look like excellent value away at Astana today - 5/2 with Bet365. Tough place to go but Astana have been shit so far and Apoel leading the group.

Villa aren't obsessed with us though, honest.

Eh?

They are also absolutely nothing alike

This probably sums me up like. I think there is a big divide between the younger and older supporters, a lot of the younger supporters feel like the above but the older generation fall into the 80 type situation (praying you're 30+ 80 ). I think that's probably because the younger lot (myself included), still have the thrill of getting drunk at matches and are keen to travel the entire country watching Newcastle under Rafa. Whereas the older lot have been there and done that, know what it's like to follow Newcastle without Ashley and don't necessarily want that from football. Lets not forget, Ashley has been here for 9 years - that's a substantial amount of time for the younger generation, will be 50% of their time following Newcastle for some. They wont remember what its like not to follow an Ashley-run Newcastle. In addition to that you have all of the grim changes made by Sky/PL etc. the older lot remember life when nearly every match was a Saturday 3pm kick off. For the younger folk, travelling to Plymouth for a 12:00 kick off on a Sunday morning is the norm. It saddens me that we have a lot of supporters still away from the club, with passion drained from them. I hope in time people can come back, under Rafa.

The embarrassment of having more away fans then home fans. They also foolishly hoped that by making tickets ridiculously cheap would tempt those to come back who have been boycotting. Sounds about right. Any ideas on how many NUFC managed to get hold of tickets int he hull end today then? No idea, would imagine Hull pulled the ticket sales because of an influx of tickets being bought by people with Newcastle addresses. It's too late for them to do anything about it now, all they can do is restrict ticket sales and bite the bullet when the match is played in front of 12,000. When the tickets went on sale this morning, it was reported that Hull fans had only bought 7,000 + NUFC's 2,400 only gives them 9,400. With restricted sales I cant see that going much higher like
