As long as our new manager doesn't start with stupid formations like:

Freidel

Emerton Short AMO Gray

Matteo Gresko de pedro

ferguson

yorke stead

im not bothered, does it remind u of west brom?

Are we gonna buy back Yorke then?

Ferguson maybe

They have Dyer, Jenas, Viana, Bowyer, Butt, Milner all going for the centre midfielder spot.

They need a defender (Todd) rather than a midfielder.

Batty and Shearer were at Newcastle before Dalglish therefore your post doesn't make much sense

herbergeehh

l would try for gareth southgate as player manager, with his own choice of coaches,

Yeah would he rather possibly get a Champions league spot and play in europe this year with Middlesborough or become Rovers manager?

So thats from potentially having 4 strikers to now having 6

6 and a half hour to get in a striker on loan

GMP was poor!

Who??

D'urso refereed Bolton away last season - second game and gave a penalty against us and sent Reid off

He then refereed Liverpool at home and gave a penalty against us and sent off Neill

He then disallowed Babbels goal at Arsenal

Spurs last year he turned down a stone wall penalty after shirt pulling on Cole in the last ten minutes

Hes just crap im afraid

Oh by the way, is Ferguson on the pitch?

He heard you

10 years ago the last time we drew 1-1 and we know what happened that season

So only Cookiemonster and I so far have gone for Man U.  I can see that on paper they don't appear to be as stong as Chelsea or Arsenal but they now have Carlos Querioz back, who Ferguson credited with sorting out their defence and assisting them to win the title the season before last.  + they missed Ferdinand last season.

I think Chelsea could will win it and i think it is harder to retain the premiership title.

I also like to be different

Rovers 0 - 0 West Brom

ah but we didn't win the three games we lost to Derby, drew with Sunderland and beat Wolves. Therefore three points isn't guaranteed.

ps - You read that in fourfourtwo?

1. Man United

2. Arsenal

3. Chelsea

4. Liverpool

5. Newcastle

6. Aston Villa

7. Middlesbrough

8. Blackburn Rovers

9. Tottenham Hotspur

10. Birmingham City

11. Southampton

12. Charlton Athletic

13. Manchester City

14. Bolton Wanderers

15. Fulham

16. Portsmouth

17. W.B.A.

18. Norwich City

19. Everton

20. Crystal Palace

To be fair Sky Sports also thought it was the same match on their internet scoreboard

Beat me to it Tango

Enjoyed today.

I would only ask for us to shoot a bit more when outside of the area. In the first half we had a go but in the second half we seem to try and walk it in the net.

and also for four kids sat behind constantly singing "Lucas Neill, Football Genius" to shut up

Other than that quite a good game. Defence looked much stronger than last year. even against a poor PNE attack.

Where is the clock and the scoreboard at PNE? I take it they cant afford or was i looking in the wrong place

however a central midfielder at number 5 still looks silly,

Milan Baros plays at number 5 and for a striker that does look silly

Birmingham lost 1-0 to SSV Ulm even with this team

Team: Maik Taylor, Melchiot, Tiny Taylor, Upson, Clapham, Johnson, Clemence, Dunn, Lazaridis, John, Morrison.

nows the time for much needed practice!

flashbacks of washington last year

Yes but we need the commentator form Washington

Who is the Trialist?

yey 2 games 2 wins - Top of the series

My striker is also injured. I am losing money rapidly. Fortunatley i have supporters signing up

Raay i lost 6-0

i used the program that i downloaded

Good individuals but as team they were poor

Sounds Promising

I downloaded that jave program - its quite good just realised that my defender was actually a goalie.
