Sickener and until the wonder goal they were beaten.

Was fearing them getting a goal but eased up thinking they were shot. You don't save those.

Looks like we've got our left back if he keeps this up.

This

100% this.

Fuck me!! A corner as well!!!

Anyway, play this right, lads.

Our match thread on rtg is very amusing so far.

You wouldn't have said that six weeks ago.

Need to be cute in the second half, we can get at these especially if they chase it. Let's hope he doesn't go pardew in the half time team talk.

He just has to play Perez off mitrovic. The kid keeps the ball and doesn't give it away cheaply. How many have called for this?

Fucking get in there, Ayoze, kidda!!!

Obertan coming on? FFS.

Perez off mitrovic seems to be a bit better than cisse on his Todd. Quelled surprise.

Perez showing more in less than 60 seconds than Cisse in the last few games.

Best hope for a dull first half and catching them out 2nd half like our other wins against them. One can hope.

Rooney makes it 2-0 v the mackems.

We always beat Chelsea apart from when we lose.

Went out at 0-1 and it was all man city up till half time. 4-1 now to spurs? What happened?

If we get the ball over to Mitrovic we can score but I doubt we'll do that and I don't expect Mourinho to let his team forget we've done them the last three times. Can only see them winning comfortably but stranger things have happened. 0-2 with them taking it easy once they realise we pose fuck all 'fret'.

I love hoddle, Owen, fletch and the likes of scholes. They really enhance the match day feel and have a superb insight which us armchair fans can benefit from.

Was on earlier on, I'm watching BT at the min.

Lawro, the BBC 'go-to' about the Toon after Shearer and Waddle.

'Touching distance' by Martin Hardy Thought this would be a half decent read about the 'nearly' season but after a only a quarter of the way through it's so much better than that. I only got it the other day and read at break time at work yesterday. The book goes back to the early eighties and has some fantastic interviews with players, managers and directors, each leading up to particular events, for example, David Kelly's goal v Pompey to stay up then drifting off to his tale about growing up and how he ended up signing for United and what it all meant, from his Irish/Brummie uncle telling him to sign for us as he'd finally have made it as a player if he wore the number nine, to his tales of living on Tyneside to his accurate description of Derby away where he threw his shirt in the crowd. Believe me, as someone who was at those two games in particular I was sitting in my work baitroom with lumps in my throat and it wasn't due to Mrs HMHM's sarnie. The people so far who have chatted with Hardy and I'm only a quarter of the way in are, Shearer, (talking about KK's Liverpool farewell game), Howey, Ginola, Sir Les, Centre parting, Killer, (his patter is great by the way, but he's not far ahead of the likes of Kelly and Howey), John Hall (no surprises that he talked the most shite so far but wasn't too bad by his own standards) and of course KK himself. Hardy sets the mood amazingly well and as someone who was around at the time I think he absolutely nails it. So far the interviews come across as a chat between mates and it's abundantly clear how the players felt about our club and what they thought our club was about, even when were in the shit. If you went to the games or were around at the time 100% buy this book, if you weren't but are genuinely interested in our club's recent past then I'd completely recommend it still. I thought it would be half decent but it's definitely exceeded my expectations. The only downside is it'll fill you with even more contempt about the present NUFC.
