Patron Saint Joey Barton with a free kick. Woke her up again.

Routledge on for Pancake.

I hope we hear his phone call.

thank fuck for that. just woke up my very hungover girlfriend cheering at that

We need some kind of width from the sound of things. I expect Gutierrez/Routledge to be on and Lovenkrands to come up front eventually. Hopefully that can stretch their defense a bit since it doesn't sound too strong. Of course, this is the radio so it's all bollocks probably.

I'm assuming Hughton is resting a lot of players for Monday, especially since I think that side can get a result against Peterborough and Forest will probably get one at Bristol.

Since I'm a student, I've got all of this to look forward to. When I'm in my mid 40s, I'll try the wooly hat method and if it doesn't work, I'll be on here to complain.

Nobody cares about us except the bloke who felt he had to write a full essay about us.

An inspired thread title btw

As an aside, I thought Nolan was excellent in the second half with regards to putting himself about and getting back. Jose was the star though. Credit to Shola as well for scoring a great finish and an excellent assist. It's nice to see the obvious team spirit within the side as well; Colo, Jose and Jonas all having a laugh in Spanish was a highlight.

I think an early goal will knacker them so we need to be lashing them from the start. We should be anyway since we're at home but if we start strong, we'll do them. Let them into the game though and they could trouble us a bit.

I'd probably have Bullard. Decent set piece taker and a better option in central midfield than Butt or Smith. I'd prefer us signing younger players but I think he'd be a dependable option.

Don't know if that was aimed at me, but to clarify, I'm fully aware that Hall is short term. However, I still think going for a prospect as cover is better than a has-never-been If top clubs are sending their prospects out it's to get games, not sit on the bench. Hall is 4th choice and I doubt Wenger, Ferguson et all would see the point in loaning out prospects to be that when they would get more game time playing in their reserves. Realistically we couldn't expect much better than Hall. I'd rather we bought a prospect than loaned one for the key positions like Center Half, Striker, 'Keeper. Loanees will always be down the pecking order. I just think there were better options available to us, than Hall. There probably was but he's not been a total disaster and he's been useful back-up. If we can get these players in for 3-4 months at a time and they peform well enough, it doesn't matter if they weren't our first choice. Harewood springs to mine, granted his all around play was shit but he got a few goals that grabbed us points so it wasn't a bad thing really. Now, Leon Best is a case where they was probably better available (though what Ashley was willing to pay was probably a stumbling block).

I'm not sure the poorly written words of some horse-faced mackem is going to effect the team at this stage. Stupid cow.

Didn't Kinnear of all people do that last season when we played them too?

Which one is Anglos? Across from the snooker hall just next door to the Indians?

And the pizzas from Chunky Chips along Coatsworth Road are fucking sublime. Also, if the Toon Army barbershop is still there, perhaps you'd like to pop in there for a spiffing short back and sides.

I'd probably lose most of my interest like others have said. Though I always keep an eye on Gateshead's results so I'd probably follow them but I doubt I'd ever have the kind of connection I do with NUFC.

If you can get the 54 bus, I think that goes along Brinkburn Avenue and there's a stop right next to Saltwell Park. EDIT: You can get the 54 from near the Theatre Royal/That sandwich shop across from the fire station (Is it still O'Briens?)

Corridor fight scene in Oldboy

Exactly. I'm hoping we've ditched the gravy train.

An Al Queda dream. Still , I expect the likes of toonie and the other left wing loonies will defend their "rights" Literally has fuck all to do with anything said in that post.

Tell you what, if England/USA runs into me seeing Blondie, I won't be happy.

Tell you what, if Alan Smith, Nicky Butt and Shola Ameobi marched into my office telling me to sell players, I'd tell the three useless twats to fuck off considering they're three we need to be flogging.
