We've given the ref little choice iyam, Tiote especially. Its his first prem game, he'll be looking to do it by the book. Not created a lot and Swansea have had the best chances. Need to hold a bit more in the centre of the park and use Sissoko and Guti to hit them on the break. That's not the easiest with Tiote and Cabaye both booked. Little is as biased a commentator as I've heard..he's fuckin dying for us to get beat.

Elliot looking complacent today to say the least

Is that the lass from Doctor Who?....if I knew where she shit I'd roll in it

I understand what folk mean by that, but technology has basically proved that's not the case....on a replay you can see if an arm is offside, let alone a whole player. In fact It works a lot better for offside, which as mentioned is a lot more common than whether a goal is a goal.

Rugby?...not sure what your getting at, theres loads of reasons for not wanting it...the technology is seen by some as unlikely to work. We'll see, as Sky will choose Hawkeye.Why aren't we doing this for offside?...its as much an opinion as goal/no goal is, its just how the officials see it at that split second. We'll have offside decisions being referred to Hawkeye within a decade, in a game that may be imperfect but has become the most popular team participation game on the planet with the technology of a pig's bladder,some wood and a couple of fishing nets. Theres not much wrong with it as it is.

Who mentioned tennis and cricket?..." At least 25 per cent of the ball must be visible for the system to work. That means that if the ball went over the line in a melee of bodies after a goalmouth scramble, the system would probably not be able to make a call." http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/goal-line-technology-does-164718522.html

Tbh thats just another reason for not bothering with cameras on the goaline... Sky will choose to use Hawkeye, and the last i heard the Hawkeye technology isnt suitable for this gig. Sky like the pretty pictures Hawkeye produces. Sky also like the suspense that waiting for the images to appear builds up. The magneitc field/transmitter thing is better for goaline accuracy but not so good for the viewer, and its the viewer who will count in the long run iyam.

Thin end of the wedge iyam. They'll be using computers for lots of things in a decade. Ruins it. A game that was fine for over 100 years until the money men moved in. Cunts.

From today's Guardian, mackem match preview: 5) Flair at the Stadium of Light Sunderland are not yet safe, either from relegation or from allegations that they are a despicably boring outfit whose demotion to the second tier would be blessed relief to regular Premier League watchers. But Martin O'Neill knows their problem and, a little like Messrs Martínez and Rodgers, he could extract traces of progress from defeat at WBA in the last outing. The shift to 4-4-2 looked promising, as Danny Graham and Steven Fletcher showed signs of working well together and, most of all, Stéphane Sessegnon produced his best performance of the season after being moved to the right wing. If the Beninese funster is in the groove again on Saturday, then he and Dimitar Berbatov will make this meeting worth attending.

you been to bed yet?...

Here's your cut-out-and-keep guide to scouting schoolboys...key tip: hang around watching young boys playing football http://www.dailymail...eobi-Gazza.html

Am not saying that, but Ewerk hits it in the head for me. Am intrigued how you could know how the ethnic make up of an area 350 miles from Boldon and how it could swing a vote. Post 3307 is a piss poor copy and paste job, which you had to do as you're fuckin winging it to suit your agenda,on a subject/area you know next to nothing about...as usual...

CT dodging the question again...tell me why my colleagues were likely to vote for UKIP CT, am all ears

Would you like to fill us in on the isuues here CT?....seeing as half my office voted yesterday I'd be very interested to learn the inside track on this

Thats not allowing for being 5th in May 2012 or relegated in May 09 though CT's question is wrong. A better question may be "are you daft enough to praise any proprietor of any given football club?" Chez answered that pretty fully iyam. The perception is theyre all cunts regardless of what they do.He's not universally popular but I happen to have a lot of time for SJH because iyam there was no one around at that time who was prepared to give it a go. He's about the only one I'd give time of day to though.

. Thats also being consistant, in the true sense of the word. Inconsistancy is saying you're happy with how he's running the club, 2 months after demanding the sacking of the manager he'd just awarded an 8 year contract to. We misunderstand nothing about him or you. You were told the squad was weak as piss and last season contained a large slice of luck and nothing much was different. You said the manager was all to blame, which in turn was a criticsm of Ashley for persisting with him for a whole 3 months whilst things were a bit grim. Now you're trying to make those of us who correctly said it was the squad rather than the manager give Ashley credit for how he's running the club because results have improved after the squad was strengthened last month You're like a fuckin cock on a weather veign. How in the mind of christ do you have the brass neck to say you're happy with Ashley after wanting his manager sacked no more than 2 months ago? Answer the question

I've said on numerous occasions that the direction of the club is good. I actually thing we should have sold a player in the summer, Ba or Cabaye etc to keep the money coming in and inmprove our transfer options. Thats our way ahead now and I dont have a problem with it. Will I give Ashley credit for it? no, his actions pre relegation and motives for buying the club in the first place are fuckin sickening. "Mike just wanted a plaything after his divorce" He can fuck off with that shit. I dont care how far down the line we are, I dont have a problem attending games, I find it easy to move on in life in general. But Ashley remains a fuckin cunt and always will do for me. For me its simple; its our club and we'll be here long after he fucks off.

so demanding Pardew's sacking was a display of patience? Does your brass neck set the xray machines off at airports?....

Been said on here before mate....the deals we got in January were mostly not available in the summer....if Ashley is to be supported in the way he's running the club we're all going to need a hell of a lot more patience than CT has displayed for most of this season.

What would you have said at Christmas CT?

Manu have been the best supported club ever since Munich though. Liverpool wiped the floor with them trophy wise in the 70s and 80s but couldn't get within 10k of their crowds.

How much of a shambles was it in 2009 when he was in charge of a relegation season in which he appointed 4 managers? You're not clever enough to re write history CT

Are you opening a book?...I'm on eunuch...

What a fuckin ball ache... http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20130226/travel-advice-anzhi-makhachkala-a_2281670_3089856

No. Probably the only thing we agree on consistantly, theyre a fuckin non event.
