Football season

OOOOOOOOOOHHHH!

Come on Chelsea!!!!

we are hanging on by the skin of our teeth !
JUST - how i dont know ?
scotty

Hey jamie, not so fast - well done the bar codes



Diccus

Despite what was said in the BBC match report it was not a poor game IMHO.

The Toon played well at the back (shock horror) and in midfield, but without ever really having a cutting edge up front.

Chelsea were well below their usual standard, except in the cheating department where as ever they excelled.

Man of the match for me was Salano, but there a number of other contenders including Taylor (sponsors MOTM), Milner and Emre. Dyer was easily our worst player.

Got a text from a mate who is a MUFC season ticket holder who seemed very please, his twin brother who is a Chelsea fan has yet to get in contact!

Cheers Diccus, looks like the proper derby games will be back next year.

Not that my predictions mean much, but I just used the BBC Predictor on the Premiership and Championship.

For the Premiership

I had my Top 4 (Champions League)
Chelsea 91
Man Utd 86
Liverpool 73
Arsenal 66

Next three (EUFA Cup)
Portsmouth 59
Spurs 59
Everton 57

Everton, Reading and Bolton have same points, but Everton clinching the place on GD

Relegated
Fulham 36
Charlton 33
Watford 24

Promoted from the Championship
Birmingham 89
Sunderland 88

Relegated
Southend 48
Leeds 45
Luton 37

I'm probably wrong, but it might please a few people if it ended that way.

Tractor Boys 12th ahead of Cardiff on GD and only 1 point behind Plymouth

....Typical! .. I go away for a few days ( a conference in Brighton) and yep ...we finally get beaten this year! ..(just in case anyone thought I'd disappeared in a massive huff!)

....So it's Burnley at home tomorrow night in front of an intimidating SOL full house ...of course it will be easy-peasy ..(except it will be anything but!)

I like Burnley ..a tiny town surrounded by Lancashire's big guns but they still get excellent gates considering ...but come on Clarets you don't NEED to win tomorrow do you?

...Butterfly's aren't in it ....my stomach's churning like an industrial sized cement mixer ..
..We could be up by Sunday ..or face a nightmare last day nerve shredder

..wasn't football supposed to be enjoyable?

Stunning third goal against Burnley Jet, I bet you were brickin' it.

Now derby need to loose today and that would be fine and dandy.

Thank You Derby, you were so kind

GET IN, Premier here we come

.....And so it's finally happened ........PROMOTED!!!!!

Without us kicking a ball!

I don't think anyone can really begrudge us this marvellous moment .

...On every other occasion we've gone up we've always been hamstrung by a lack of funds and had to watch our nearest and dearest (Boro + NUFC) spend big to ensure they remain in the Premiership.
..We've always had the noize ...we've always had the ground ...we've always had the crowds...now it seems an open secret that we've finally got the financial backing England's greatest fans have always deserved.

...Wanna bet that Roy Keane will spend it wisely?

Will you be staying longer than last time?

Congratulations Jet and Diccus62 - good luck in the Premiership and see you in year's time in the top division.

Good news, well done Sunderland. I guess you two will be having a beer, then!

Half time and we're level on points with Man U. Full time we're five points behind them!!!!

Stupid game

Did you manage to hold out on hearing the result until the end of the game, James?

Jet is the hardened supporter, i'm a mere observer but chuffed non the less.

I agree with Jet, it does seem to be different this time, and about time.

Cheers

Diccus

Jet, Diccus,

Congratulations, welcome back. See you at the SoL and SJP, infinitely more fun than a trip to the Riverside!

Cheers marra .....I'm on me third bottle of Guinness (what else!) child minding duties have ensured I'm not out on the town tonight ..but I'm enjoying chilling out after THAT game on Friday night and today's Derby Co result .

..and you are right - the REAL derby matches re-commence next season!

P.S. Big Sam for you lot you reckon?

When is th Cup Final? About this time of year surely? Then Cricket... relax and enjoy!

Fredrik

Jet,

Big Sam, I bloody hope not. Not Newcastle's style of play at all. I've been going long enough to remember Jack Charlton's time at Newcastle, very effective for the Irish national team, but he only lasted a season at the Toon.

Nice to see Owen back, hope he stays fit and stays here!

Regards

In a magical turnaround of fate, i actually fancy the hammers staying up!

Lets just hope manu over celebrate and over indulge their premiership win.

There is a glimmer of hope at least.

WOW!! what a finish to the season. man i almost chewed my nails down to the bone.
im also glad the seasons over at last as its been pretty much torture for whu and we must now move on and rebuild. im sure curbs will take the club onwards and upwards next season.
my commiserations to sheff utd and i do understand how agrieved they must feel.
but nobody can take away the fantastic end of season run in we had being crowned by sundays win at man u.
i hope tevez stays as he has become a cult hero to the east end but wouldnt be surprised if he goes. we are indebted forever to carlos and he will always stay in our hearts wherever he ends up.
COME ON YOU IRONS!

So if/when we sell Tevez, will we get any money from the deal? If we do, maybe we should give the Blades a couple of million. Maybe not.
Up the 'ammers!
Matt

Bunch of cheating b'tards. End of.
