Yeah he did

he's so fucking sloppy at times though

But all in all He's a good keeper and im glad we have him.

back to the league.

And what have we got to look forward to in the league


At least Robsons gone,i can cope with Blackwell at least he has put some heart back into the side

i rate blackwell,he a good manager who will get 100% out of his players.

Yeah i hope we stick with him


then pre-season he can get rid of some players and bring in who he wants


We have to be patient

thats football, but not many teams are. Look at Newcastle, Coventry for example.

Everybody wants instant success


You dont just win things overnight


Unless your Chelsea or Qpr

But they are exceptions

QPR could be a force in 5-10 years the money they have..scarey

They have stupid money

Football is full of stupid money nowadays

Looks like Wednesday have been bought by some big investors


They will still be shite

you hope

Newcastle vs. Blackburn this weekend

I missed the match last time they played but I'll be watching this one.

i think it will be a 3-3 draw

I think Blackburn will win 3-0

I hope not mate

i think 1-1

Uefa defends final ticket policy

Uefa has defended its ticket policy for the Champions League final in Moscow on 21 May after putting 10,500 on public sale via its own website.
Last year's final in Athens was marred by trouble involving Liverpool fans who arrived without tickets for the clash with Italians AC Milan.

Uefa will allocate 21,000 tickets to each club competing in May's final.

"Seventy-five per cent will go to fans. Last year it was only 65%," spokesman William Gaillard told the BBC.

don't there is any other competition in the world that guarantees that many tickets to fans, especially when you compare it to the World Cup or competitions in the past.

"Not all can go just to the two clubs. There should be tickets for fans all over Europe as well as the local fans in Moscow, who would like to see such a prestigious game."

Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium will have a capacity of just under 70,000 for the final.

Gaillard said: "Liverpool fans had problems last year, we know that, but we cannot manage tickets that are given to the clubs involved in the final.

"Once we give tickets to clubs, they have to distribute them. We cannot go into cities and start distributing them ourselves.

"We have now decided to have stadia with capacities of over 75,000, although there will be some exceptions because not all countries have stadia of that size. However, we know this solves only a small part of this issue because even if we had a stadium of 150,000 that would not cater for all fans."

Gaillard expects security in Moscow to be better because the stadium is a purpose-built football venue.

He added: "The stadium in Athens last year was an Olympic stadium, therefore the arrangements were for an athletics crowd. This year there will be electronic turnstiles."

Gaillard also confirmed Uefa will continue its fight against touts getting hold of tickets before showpiece games.

"In any system you will unfortunately find ticket touts. It is a tough battle - we are fighting this every year and we have the law on our side," he said.

"Ticket touting is not only illegal commercially, it has an effect on security arrangements in place to avoid incidents inside the stadium."

UP THE BLADES AND FUCK THE OWLS

I sort of want Blackburn to win. It'll make things a bit more exciting for us (let's face it, we're not going to get anywhere now).

If Newcastle win we'll be "pushing for Europe" no doubt in the papers.

Since that Motherwell lad died last month all the Toon players have been coming into the hospital for heart checks and stuff!
Yesterday we saw Turkish "maestro" Emre.
"3 points tomorrow eh Emre?" shouted one of the lads.
"No,i no think so", replied the highly confident Turk....

The players are beat before they even get onto the pitch

I am having a fiver on 3 all

Really? That's actually quite horrific.

Fulham 0 Utd 1
Hargreaves Free Kick and his first for the club,keep it up boys

oh and chelski are winning

Am I missing some sort of in-joke on the BBC's live update here?

think it should be Ballack.

It is. They've corrected it.

All is calm again inside my head.

Newcastle are apparently all over Blackburn. I predict 1-1.

Lampard has just been sent off.shame
