Happy Face

Getting on a bit to be sure. Welcome to alcohol Besty lad, the cause of and solution to all lifes problems.

I thought we were going to shit Boro Nicos? No, you thought we were going to lose to them...and the next two. And now you're covering your arse with talk of how Boro were too timid and should have won. By the time they scored we could have been four up, and should have been at least two up. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. The only fact is we both guessed the outcome wrong. I said we would lose 3 games and but for the post I would have been right. Although a draw was a fair result and yes we were both wrong but you were wronger. I was wronger despite us being a referee away from giving them a 4-0 drubbing? Whatever Chester!

Given's not the keeper he was like. Although his distribution has always been poor. Needs some competition for the Number 1 definitely. Harper's good enough competition I reckon. He's the one that was in goal for our "best start in ten years" ©Fat Fuck. As soon as Given got his place back our season went to shit.

Did you see the game? On a positive note I'm very impressed by the way Duff is beginning to play. Much more positive and seems to have license to roam and probe for weaknesses. That is for me the first signs of the KK factor. Agreed. A lad I sit with has always hated the budgie, but even he grudgingly accepts that his performances have come on a long way from what he'd given us before.

So we still need to spend £100M in the next window if we're going to compete with West Ham do we?

I know it gets a mention in every match thread, but how shit was Given's distribution again? Just a simple pass to a defender will do man. Harper got as many clean sheets in 8 games as Given has managed in 17, he makes far more saves than him. Given should be on the bench in all honesty.

Owen never was one for thumping them in from outside the box though. When someone like Emre can place balls in the box for him to run on to I reckon he can still score. Heck, he had the ball in the net 3 times yesterday.

You're the one that likes The Shield aren't you? [/withering sarcasm] On that, just finished series 1 of the Shield. It's all a bit Might start series 2. I might have been harsh on it considering I haven't seen it. I must also apologise to Jimbo for going all Parky on the show which could well be excellent. I was just light headed at an hour of the day I barely knew existed, and reacted badly to the genius that is The Sopranos being questioned. The fuck all the fuss is about is the most gorgeous show ever made. It's not so much a TV show as an all time classic 100 hour long film, being shown on TV in parts. No other episodic show comes close to it's symbolism and deeper subject matter. I know that further up I said the West Wing is better, but honestly, that was just heat of the moment hyperbole. The West Wing is brilliant for a TV show, but it's just an intelligent and well written political soap opera. The Sopranos sits above The Godfather(s). It elevates television to an art form.

Perhaps you're right. Stats mean fuck all. Viduka's scored more goals per minute and Geremi has just as many assists.

I just sent you an email...please let me know hot to go about sending you the appreciation as this is better than X-Mas!!! I've honestly been looking for this for months!! Again, thank you my friend as you've no idea as to how helpful this is going to be!!!! Cheers!!! If it's authenticity is inconsequential, you should have just made it up yourself mate.

Thought this was going to be a video choc full of footballing genius. Happy Birthday I guess.

Loathe as I am to repeat myself... Martins is still our top scorer this season, he's got a goals to games percentage of 44% which compares favourably to next highest scorers Viduka (38%) and Owen (30%). Those two have only played a couple of games less than him too, so match fitness doesn't come into it. Martins was also Newcastle's top scorer last season. Over the entire season his goals to games percentage was 40%. We've scored just once without Martins in the team ALL season. None prior to yesterday. Martins is second only to Emre (who got another one yesterday for all the Emre naysayers out there) in terms of assists. Gemmill can slate him all he wants, and I agree he's frustratingly poor at times, but he's been a big miss and will be a welcome return.

Maybe the problem was that the last few pig-headed managers wouldn't listen to McDermott enough and all Keegan's success last time stemmed from his wing man. Success he couldn't replicate anywhere else without him.

What kind of a stupid word is 'starlet'? Answers.com says it's Why are we signing diminutive actresses?

Haha, you sound like the twat I heard leaving the ground. "Owen missed a canny chance. He'll be saving his goals for England no doubt. Be a totally different player for England, you just watch." His thick mates "Aye...aye yer reet there like". Mongoloids. Of course it's all tongue in cheek..... He's just as shite for England.

You're the one that likes The Shield aren't you? [/withering sarcasm]

God bless whomsoever* your Mr Brownlow might have been. *When exactly should one use "whoever", "whosoever" or "whomsoever"? It sounds right above, but I wouldn't have a clue.

Worst host ever. "He got the ball didn't he?" "No" "He got the man didn't he?"

Ya burnt!

I was going to praise Owen. I thought he had his best game in a Newcastle shirt. But then I remembered, England are playing midweek, so it was to be expected. He'll be injured by the time we go to Villa.

The Greatest Team on Earth got whooped.

That yellow line is dead clever.

...and don't get me started on Rod Liddle... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/col...icle3295249.ece
