I think we're playing this lot at the worst time. They're going to be riled up over last week's decision and Warnock's going to have them playing like mentalists. They turned over Ipswich like they were nowt and we're going to have to be careful they don't do it to us. Let's hope the backline isn't torn apart in the next few days (through injury/transfers) because Coloccini is going to struggle against their frontline. If we can get a draw out of this, I'll be happy. You have to hope that, if we lose, the squad's heads don't drop like it has in the past. We're going to get beat in this league eventually and we need to instantly bounce back from it.

Newcastle United are thought to have put a big money contract offer on the table for Supple following the announcement.

Seen it today and generally enjoyed it. He has a point that some scenes drag on without ever reaching any sort of climax and some of the dialogue is wooly in the extreme. There's a great scene in a bar though and the actor that plays Landa manages to be the over-the-top character he needs to be while retaining some subtlety, something that Pitt doesn't. It's far from his best but it has its good moments

Re-reading threads from around May 07 is depressing. Everyone so optimisitic

I'll probably still torrent it.

I go to bed, see 2 new pages added to the thread and I assume he's signed. What a disappointment.

Until they fell out that is. Also, Oliver and Roeder were proper bum chums iirc. I think they were. I certainly can't remember anything too critical of Roeder written by Oliver. Some might say Oliver's ratings were...wide of the mark :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Do they shite!

Gold.

I think Guthrie uses the ball pretty well tbf to him.

I didn't think Ryan Taylor was awful or anything but he wasn't any good either. Alex definately has a point about him hiding but he didn't give away possession as foolishly as he usually does and that cross for our second was pitch-perfect. He almost looks nervous out there a lot of the time and I can't understand why.

Re-reading my post, it comes off too dickish and I apologise. I don't hold any ill feeling to your club or fans but it irks me whenever I see people trot out the paper/radio cliches time and again (not saying you personally do this but some people on your site have). I'm looking forward to the game too which is a change. Hopefully, Ashley won't have destroyed the squad too much in the next 48 hours but I wouldn't put it past him at all. There should be a buzz around the ground for a change coming off the back of Saturday and we need to follow it with a good performance. I wouldn't worry about Shola doing similar to your lot though; he's filled his goal quota for at least 5 weeks.

They had a corner of the Leazes which they didn't fill, 800 max, I remember the game I was in the East Stand. The only time they brung a proper support was when they won the league in 1984. Seriously though, who fucking cares? Also this. It's not like either side is in a position to be lording it up over each other. We're in the Championship ffs. Bragging about your team down here is like having a bronze and pretending you've won gold.

*awaits response from their forum*

Some of them on there are serious bellends like. That one Newcastle fan is coming across well and giving us a good portrayal and right underneath, there's some glue sniffer spouting some bollocks about the fanbase and us all being arrogant

Wanted to try and get a Premiership club, I think. Has probably fell back on us when nobody would take him on.

Unless you're a fat cunt intent on the complete destruction of NUFC of course! I agree, it would be a stupid sale on every level, si i expect theres a big chance it will happen. I should have probably added that I can see why he'd do it in terms of profiting from him but if he reckons we can get out of this league, Krul is the type of player we need to keep. Then again, Ashley probably reckons he can recoup a load of money and get promoted on the bare minimum anyway.

Will take Lovenkrands at this level. Think he'll be a handful for teams. Then again, at this point, I'd take just about anyone.

How much is Krul going to be on? There's absolutely no reason to sell him that I can immediately think of.

What's Phil Brown wearing on Goals on Sunday?

Possibly but I think when he has played he hasn't been indifferent - I know his legs have gone but he can still sometimes do a job imo. He could be useful getting crosses into the box for Shola and Carroll IMO. Probably the least mobile player we have in the side though.

Any news on Barton? Him walking off the pitch gives me a bit of hope that it's not too serious.

Thought he really dragged us forward well today and, while he doesn't have an end product, there's nobody in the squad who can run at players and we can use to launch counter attacks. I assume he won't be replaced.

Got a lot of time for him, especially after the current mess but even following the departure of Keegan. At the time, he was still obviously out of his depth but thought he went about things with a similar professionalism which was impressive. And I hope he is creating a siege mentality. It's exactly what we need to get out of the division.
