Who wouldn't have it?

2-0 down now as are Hull and Barnsley. As you are with another game scratched off if it stays the same.

Hull and Barnsley both losing too. Brum and Burton levels. Amazing how the mackems aren't dead and buried. Doesn't say much for the others around them.

Brown is a Mackem. How many times, (other than essembee), have you heard any b&w slag him?

I can't believe how loads on there hate Dawn Thewlis, btw. For OOTers she's on BBC Look North and barely registers on any NUFC crack in a forum/workplace/bar/mates etc. Honestly, she's been on local TV for about twenty years and I can't remember any Newcastle fan ever mentioning her but over on RTG it's a whole different ball game. Fucking very weird message board. Yours sincerely, Mr Thewlis

Not only is Gloomy not in the media, he doesn't even live in London, let alone have ITKs. His real name is Brian, he lives in Consett and used to work in the Phileas Fogg crisp factory. Honestly, @Tdansmith, take no notice of him, he's full of shit.

I'm expecting Arsenal to be like Brazil 70 after their capitulations to Swansea and Brighton, Everton are fucking shit with a rancid manager but he's a rancid manager with an unfeasibly good record against us and Goodison isn't a happy hunting ground for us. Hopefully they'll be spooked by Rafa like they were spooked by a geriatric Ian Rush when we beat them in the cup a few years ago. You'd think we'd be ok with those fixtures but I wouldn't be counting any chickens just yet. (Can't remember the last time we beat Leicester away either!)

I always hate seeing a 'Brit' win it as their speeches are usually fucking cringeworthy and 100% tailored to the US audience to look quirky and eccentric, you then have to see and hear it a good few times on UK TV/radio as the news presenters gush and wank themselves into oblivion over it. It's only slightly less embarrassing than anyone in the media or in power blethering on about the 'special relationship' whenever there's a yank around. Oldman's speech was nowhere near the worst I've heard from a Brit but he was definitely skirting close to the traditional Brit feigned eccentricity bollocks.

1-0 last time I looked. Thank fuck for that.

WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!!

I can't stand the arrogance and belittlement that comes from Gerrard, McManaman and Carragher whenever they talk about NUFC. Really wished we hadn't fucked up when CL football was in our grasp, these three are proper patronising bastards.

He'll be wearing a pink carnation. No pressure. Feelies, feelies, nee putties in.

I'll be amazed if we beat Southampton at home in a need to win game as we don't seem to do these things.

No.

big difference playing a demoralised arsenal at home to playing in form Liverpool at anfield, tbf.

Lose the championship?

Fucking arsenal, man. I swear to god if they come up here and turn it on I'll be, well, absolutely FURIOUS. But it's what I expect.

Absolutely no doubt we were going downhill when Jenas left but despite the host mentioning Ramos name at the end there was no focus at all on his time at Spurs, no focus on coming to a club as a teen from the 2nd div then playing in Europe with seasoned pro's like speed etc. Like I say, if we got a bit more of the truth from ex players who didn't hold grudges we mightn't get so defensive when bollocks like this gets said. He could easily have stepped in and say it was a great step for him when he first went to NUFC and mention the positives for the bulk of his time here but he opted not to. Disappointing but tbh it's what I've come to expect from the likes of Dyer, Bellamy and Jenas although Jenas never seemed as bitter as the other two.

Get looked after by Sir Bobby off the pitch, get looked after on it by Gary Speed.

Howay man, bulk of his NUFC career was under Robson at a CL club training with professionals like Shearer, Speed, Given etc, he left the club at 22, was young PFA at NUFC under the lesser players that Gerrard and McManaman, the former of whom finished behind but can't remember, mentions. Why not mention Spurs? He did fuck all there and his career was pretty much the standard of average yet it seems they get a free pass as they're currently a decent CL club? It's pure revisionism and although McManaman and Gerrard may genuinely be ignorant about NUFC as they patently couldn't give a fuck about us Jenas should know better as it's his career he's talking about.

The absolute bullshit Jenas comes out with and expands on with encouragement from Gerrard who also develops amnesia from that period is staggering. Why do BT and Sky only seem to have ex-NUFC people on who seem to hold some bitterness whereas the likes of Liverpool only have bona fide club men representing their clubs? Pleased Shearer picked up on this.

I need a VPN for my sports subscription on kodi otherwise BT block it. (They never used to).

Err, the aqueducts? Did he build any aqueducts?
