The "two Danish players coming in on trial" was interesting...I know Schmeichel had a trial here once upon a time.

 

EDIT: Think it was later than that. Guessing Kristensen was the other one?

ace that, cheers. pretty much my first half-formed memories of my dad telling me about the football, based on what he'd get out of copies of the pink and the occasional issue of the mag that his brother would post down.

 

it really puts it into perspective that the hall/shepherd years were a fucking golden age. whilst all that was going on i found some virtue in having seen us absolute shite, without paying much attention to the reality that newcastle united being run really fucking badly by clueless, disengaged twats was pretty much the historical norm.

Still no date for Spurs away! FFS!

 

So our match which was supposed to be on March 16th still hasn't been rearranged yet Brighton's match which was supposed to be on April 21st has been!

It does seem bizarre that it's taking so long. As .com point out it has to be some point between Tue 1st May and Thur 10th May. Not that that really helps anyone trying to plan.

I'm guessing this is because we're playing Arsenal on the 15th on sky, so couldn't play on the 17th. Bournemouth v Man U is on BT on the 18th, so couldn't have our match v Spurs on sky the same night? So yet again our fans suffer for TV!

One of my favourite games that, actually forgot about Shearer telling the ref not to send Parlour off.

 

SBR's face after the 2nd and 3rd goals is magical

 

We were so sporting back them and too nice. Kind of glad we were like. I hate cheating and players that demand yellows and reds. Cabaye at the weekend was a fucking disgrace wanting Mane sent off or this play booked.

That’s not our Andy O’Brien is it? :lol:

 

She’s punching if so...

 

How did people rate him btw? I always wanted Hughes in ahead of him who I loved and obviously Bramble had insane ability for a CB but was thick as shit. O’Brien was a steady eddy and I’m sure he would rock up at training in some shitty banger and lived in a normal semi while the likes of Shola’s crib was being robbed by party people. Ah, fucking good days to be following our mad club back then like. Felt like we were on the verge of something special and then along come Abramovic...

He used to drive a BMW that was like 1w years old and turn up to training in jeans with holes in and flares like a hippy sorta style. Was proper funny. Then like you say the hummers and that would roll up with little twats like Kieran Dyer.

I was only young at the time, so my recollection of events may not be that good. However I feel that our defence was the weakest aspect of the squad, the likes of O’Brien, Hughes, Griffin et el were not as good as the rest of the squad. Bernard was great, but everyone else in defence was rubbish, well not rubbish but standard Premier League players back then when the rest of the squad was one of the better teams. Had we have a defence to match the rest of the squad then we might have taken that final step and won something, even if it was just through a cup run.

I agree. Put our defence now in that team and we would probably have won something.
