That thread they had last season about how they'd get on the championship might be worth a look if it's still on there? (I know there was a few said they'd struggle but there was quite a few who thought they'd be play off spots, mid table at worst).

Cheers, Strawb. Was mainly just being nosy although I am having a word with someone about mine tomorrow. I fancy doing something different and yes I've heard of transferable skills but there's a few examples I've seen where the transferable skills don't seem to be for big leaps from one totally different job to another, more like examples of Sharon moving from office A to slightly different office B.

Your CV, etc....

Brilliant read that, Rob! I'd read his first page of that somewhere before but not the whole lot. How Joe has never had a stand named after him or a statue I'll never know. As for the ads, had many a look in Dixons sports near the monument as a kid.

Fucking OJ Simpson didn't get away with the murder as much as hippo heed does. Large parts of the media, especially the ex-pro pundits refuse to look at his team setups/stats but will haul others over the coal including our own manager of course.

Aye, playing against us last year in front of 52,000 spectators with Rafa Benitez in the dug out was pretty much standard I'd imagine for most championship clubs or playing Villa for the first time in years no big deal at really. However, the chance to run out at a more than half empty Stadium of light, crisp packets swirling about, pink seats aplenty, the ex-manager of Preston in charge, (incredibly, not taking the piss, his name escapes me already) would've been a real highlight of the decade for these small clubs of the championship like Leeds Utd, Sheffield Wednesday, Villa and Wolves etc. I can see the mackems logic to be fair.

Good post, the bit about the referees is spot on as well. I can't remember the last time I said 'we were lucky there' regarding a ref making a big wrong decision in our favour. Also that old saying, 'I've seen them given' is true, but they're never given for us!

Ah! Sehr gut.

Just a quick look, tbh. Only forty odd pages on their match thread which is miniscule for their normal threads. Top of the page had a thread called 'The Mags' where they're calling a fan a Mag and he's denying it and they are awaiting an apparent 'Mag infestation'. I laughed then closed the tab.

Everton v Man U. Allardyce v Mourinho. Gobshite fans v gobshite fans. Can they both lose, please?

I was shiting it the last ten minutes but apart from that they were fucking dire. Had the manager been backed we'd be ok and this would've been a much easier win than it was.

No but some of them are starting to doubt the superiority of their world class manager. "This fucker is going to take us all the way to league 2"

Joe Allen reckons they'd have been disappointed with just a draw! Held our attacking player back but doesn't get booked, I'm disappointed in that Joe.

Perez and Diameter made a massive difference. Fair play to Murphy for his part in the goal, keeping calm, keeping possession till Perez made the run then playing him in.

Barnsley beat the mackems at the stade de Shite whilst Bolton and Burton both win.

Get the fuck in! Fucking have that Hughes you muckleheeded utter cunt.

Hayden.

Expecting about 6 mins stoppage time.

Course we don't get a penalty.

There's a handball too which we never get given. Fucking unreal the way we get reffed.

There you go, '2nd' yellow card for Joe Allon, or would've been had the ref not let him off because he played an advantage in the first half. I'd say unbelievable but it's sadly not.

It's ok though, it's only Newcastle, we don't mind this from refs.

No way Rafa spends that money on Murphy if he thinks he's only getting £5m to get a striker and that's it. Ashley clearly going for a hat-trick of relegations.

Demba Ba got a hat trick here, if he was playing today he'd probably get another.
