"They'll be starting 4-4-2 and try to come round our flanks, We'll take a bit of flak early doors but the pitch should be pretty much waterlogged by full time."

"Is this true, Waiter? No bread with my Sunday dinner??!!"

150 seconds to give you some historical facts of 150 years of the FA read by Oxo-Chamberlain or whatever he's called......... Three stand out 'facts' for me....... 1. Michael Owen scored against Argentina 2. David Beckham scored against Greece 3. Ronnie Radford scored a goal to cause an upset to knock Noocarsull out of the cup Oh Lord Jesus, let the tears drop.

I wonder if the kid takes after him or the Father?

If he's not careful, Mister Hand's going to visit Botty Land.

Will Kirsty Gallacher be asking the questions?

Will anyone still be sober at 09.20?

Have to say I'm buzzing for this, it's been too long since I've been to an away derby. (obviously got the pre-derby nerves but think we can and will put these fuckers in their place).

Why is it not worth bothering with? Shepherd rightly got stick for charging stuff to NUFC like warehouses that weren't needed (certainly at the price charged), why the fuck should this bloke get off with a shrug of the shoulders? This is the club who shut down parts of the ground to save money, the club that add a £1 for every away ticket, a club that switched off the escalators in their prestige entrance to save money, the club where Directors of football, (well that's his title, anyway), write (allegedly himself) that we can't compete with Spurs we're that poor, the Manager says our pockets are empty, our last Chairman said we have to wipe our own nose. Why are we giving away free advertising then? What if every advertising space, if truly unsold (Whey aye!) not go to something like the Sir Bob foundation? This bloke hasn't earned any trust or goodwill whatsoever to give him the benefit of any doubt for me. You and some others might not think it's worth the bother, I and others do. Might as well leave at that, to be honest.

Take a good look at all the adults in that picture. Look again. They have all had sex.

As a supporter of the club I'd say it's something to be concerned about especially with cry arses at NUFC claiming to be hard up.

I'd rather NUFC benefit actually.

How much would a stadium sponsor be worth for a big PL club?

How much? £1, £100? £100,000? We're a club moaning like fuck about not being able to compete yet I'm yet to be convinced we're making a determined effort to grow our 'brand'. Giving away free advertisng shouldn't be happening. That's no matter.

I've heard the figure £8M-£10M per annum banded about.

Hope it works out, CT. (The Wife had a bit PND after our second girl but she pulled round and is a normal fire breathing female dishing out mind warping comments on a regular basis).

Sports Direct doing so well Mike Ashley cashing in on some shares. Still no payment from the company to NUFC for the copious advertising I take it?

Keep it for after sunday, man!

I like to whistle sometimes at work.

You claim to have a six year old daughter, our Techy said........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMYK91KmQ6g

FYP

Nee need for that, CT.

Looks like I've got a ticket for my first visit to their new ground. Hope I remain unbeaten like I did for my four Roker Park visits. Fucking get in!!!! PaddockLad,

Again agree with a lot of this. Regarding the highlighted bit, can you imagine an England manager thinking, fuck Rooney, Lampard, Beckham, whoever, I want my team to play a certain way and evolve this way and this big name just doesn't fit. Can you imagine the coverage it would get? Can you imagine the big players friends and agents not whispering sweet nothings to journalists etc? (Ok, get the hovis theme tune on).........As a kid I was a canny enough footballer as were a lot of my contemporaries, I know it's almost cliched but every fucker round our way would play football morning, noon and night. When the shit weather came in we'd just play in the street using gates for goals and yes, sometimes play with smaller balls even tennis balls at times. There was no plethora of pizza shops, no online gaming or any of that shit, more people got involved. Maybe it's rose tinted glasses but I'm guessing talent spotters had a larger choice to pick from? (You didn't see as many overweight kids either).
