Well yeah am sure he does but that is a rule, not something that describes a function on the pitch. It's all just a level of smartarse-dom that I refuse to go to. I don't understand the need, I can express myself adequately in the footballing vernacular of the 70s and 80s thank you very much. Everyone else I know who has half an idea about the game does too

Another "cool" thing to say tbh, nothing really concrete to back it up although I completely accept we can learn much from abroad. Thing is, it's only a label. Better my mate can coach a young lad to "play in behind" a main striker than have to additionally explain what a "tetrarequesta"(?) is and also why isn't he actually speaking English.

Fish mate, it sounds like your hanging out with wankers who talk shite to sound cool. I've just asked this lad I work with what a regista is, to explain he's a 36 year old ex semi pro player who's a qualified coach and he didn't have a fuckin clue what I was on about. Hes. forgotten more about football than you and i will ever know. He doesn't talk to his youth team players like that because as I said it's not part of the football vocabulary in this country for the vast majority of players and supporters.

What position did Robert Lee play?

Because it's not part of the cultural language of the game in this country. We didn't have liberos, we had sweepers...

Portuguese/Brazilian term. refers to he who is "in the hole".According to "inverting the pyramid" anyways.. It's all bollocks really, just kids trying to be cool iyam...

I'd have Southampton v Pompey and Blackburn v Burnley a lot higher tbh... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/picturegalleries/11197636/The-20-fiercest-rivalries-in-English-football-by-Jonathan-Liew.html

Not sure what you mean tbh, there are scheduled trains...and it looks to me like theyre putting extra ones on: http://www.thetrainline.com/buytickets/combinedmatrix.aspx?Command=TimeTable#Journey/SUNDERLAND/NEWCASTLE/21/12/14/12/15/Arr//////Dep/1/0// These will be chock full of mackems. I've done it myself in the other direction on the metro but obviously you dont get let out in the city centre as you do in Newcastle. Those on both sides who are up for a ruck will be rubbing their hands iyam. Cant help but think the police are doing this so as to give the clubs enough rope to hang themsleves with so they've got the perfect excuse to make all future derbies bubble games.

If a train load of early drinking mackems isn't a focal point then I don't know what is tbh...they're going to need an escort up to the ground iyam. Are they just saying the police won't be in riot gear?...

So train loads of pissed mackems will arrive at central from around 11ish till midday(?) and will be allowed to wind their merry way up to the ground?

The full list is quite illuminating..... Big Dunc must've only played 100 games in a decade but got sent off 8 times http://www.statbunker.com/alltimestats/AllTimeRedCards?comp_code=EPL

There's a dozen sparks here racking their brains for a defender. Don't give up your day job Fish....err....actually if you can't organise a simple quiz..did you actually get another job?...

Should be e-mailed to BBC, sky, all print media and every pig shit -thick pundit they use

Andy Cole Konchesky? Neil Ruddock?

Yeah but look at the league table. If we nick 3 points somewhere between now and then it's feasible iyam . But like I said Pardew won't do it.

We should rest some players v Burnley on new years day iyam. We won't though.

Bowyer...Leeds,NUFC,West Ham....he played for Charlton too, but I think he left before they were promoted?.... Dunne... Citeh,Villa, QPR.... anyone else?....

Parker for red cards too?....

Sir Les Foxy Ginola Fat Sol Scotty Brady Woody Carr Jenas Bassong....

You got Gary Brady for the Spurs question?...Kevin Scott?...

Santacon apparently......looks fun

Shearer v Spurs 99 also tbf.....

Radford clip, 12 minutes into programme. Took their time this year.....
