downy..you have to finish high enough up the league to­ qualify for the champions league,which you have never­ done(7th your highest!!) whereas we finished runners up­ twice(and nearly won it) so we took a lot of pride in­ qualifying, do i make myself clear brain cell!! malcy­ boy..dont make a c ock of yourself commenting on­ peoples spelling when yours is equally as bad!! e.g­ "COREECTING"

ps Ian 4 points pressed wrong key

Newcastle Ian
Firstly let me help you correct your­ grammar, you dont "Here" anything with that­ spelling, you do "hear" what people are­ saying with this spelling,some lessons from JC or Tone­ as they are always coreecting peoples grammar on­ here.
Secondly,
we dont think we are world beaters at­ all,but we have just played two of the best teams in­ thecountry and gotten 5 points from those games, whilst­ your world beating side have lost against their last­ two opponents,Notts Forrest and Scunthorpe.
Thirdly,­
as for beating you soundly,home and away,( and I aint­ talking about aussie soap operas either) by your teams­ standing and quality of players I would think that it­ would be an absolute certainty,

#23 Yes you Geordie dummy of course they look back on­ there european cup history with pride they won the damn­ thing a few times you idiot!
FTM

patrick..i here what your saying mate,i know we are not­ a great team,but do you think we are that bad that your­ lot would give us a hiding?? i am not so sure,i think­ some mackems seem to think you are now world­ beaters!!as regarding the champions league,do clubs­ like man u, liverpool etc not look back on their­ history with pride,and we were proud when we competed­ at that level,also we are somewhere you lot know only­ too well(you must of liked it as you went back often­ enough!!)

Has anyone heard how K JOnes is??? Is the injury­ serious or dont we know????
We know we are going to be­ without Cattermole fro 12 weeks ,This position can be­ covered ,But Jones is a massive loss as well if he is­ going to be out for some time????

Forgive me Ian but if we played you now you can't­ convince me that you wouldn't be the wrong side of­ a hiding (home or away). My comment about the Champions­ League was a bit flippant, if I'm honest but I­ think your questions are fairly revealing. You Mags are­ constantly looking back at some mythical, glorious­ past.
The future for NUFC, with Ashley clinging on to­ ownership looks pretty bleak and I think your position­ in the league flatters to deceive. Conversely, at SAFC­ there seems to be some kind of plan for the future­ which is brighter than its ever been.
There is a grain­ of truth in the saying that "you're only as­ good as your last game". That makes NUFC pretty­ poor and SAFC... quite good.

patrick...you mention the champions league? that would­ be the league you have never played in!! if you want to­ know about it, just ask a geordie fella!! also when was­ the last time you beat us soundly home and away??

Toony Tony: you may laugh at Andy Reids ample frame but­ he reminds me of John Robertson. Remember him? A­ European Cup Winner with Nottingham Forest.
Champions­ League, here we come. Championship, there you stay.

Tony K(nobhead) yep its the way you tell 'em,­ you're a real clown!
FTM

Just a blip, the same kind of blip that man u and­ liverpool have gone through against your lot. Every­ decent team has a blip now and then.......

was that another blip last night tony?

I wouldnt get too excited about the Liverpool result­ lads, you were helped by that rotund over inflated­ thing in the box (the beachball not Andy Reid) strictly­ speaking and going by the laws of the game it was­ actually a draw.

Mackem kid says to his mum

"Mummy can I lick the­ bowl clean?"

Mum says

"No you can bloody­ well put the lid down and flush it like everyone else­ does"

Its the way I tell em.........

jack i'm a bit worried we've heard nothing from­ cameron lately i really think he's a sunderland fan­ hiding behind a black and white scarf maybe it's­ time for him to "come out"

Jack, yes it is nice and peaceful and its good that­ they have been... given a reality check. But, I­ can't help feeling that there's something­ missing from our season. Imagine if there had been the­ derby games - I have no doubt they would have been­ soundly beaten home and away.
They'll be back one­ day I suppose but not next season.

Has anyone else noticed the distinct lack of Mags on­ our sites these days? why have they gone so quiet? is­ it beacause we are 7th in the premiership,is it because­ we've just took 4 points out of 2 top 4 teams or is­ it because they just got beat off Scunthorpe last night­ and their Messiah just cost their club £3.5 million ha­ ha whatever the reason it's nice and peacefull­ isn't it lads

I suspect Bruce was getting worried about Catt's­ fitness, hence the signing of Zenden. We'll be­ okay, Catt will come back in the New Year fighting fit­ and raring to go and anyway we've still got the­ General,Cana,to boss midfield (and anywhere else that­ Bruce asks him to play).

to compete at the top level you have to have great­ depth in your side and for the first time in my life we­ are starting to get that, we will be ok, dont forget­ other teams are suffering injurys and suspensions. ftm­ forever.

Not good news but hey... we've got a squad.
Good­ opportunity for Henderson.
Hope Jones is ok. Recover­ soon Catt.
