Exactly. It's why I want Leeds back up in the prem. I know people hate them but they do at least add a bit of magic to the league, which is more than can be said of Hull. It's why I feel sad at the demise of a once great club like Forest. I'm not saying a club 'deserves' to be in the top flight simply because of their size or history, just being honest in terms of who I'd rather see week after week.

I lived in Newcastle for a couple of years and im convinced if i go up there some time next season ill be confronted with burning buildings, derelict homes, toppled statues. If that club gets back in the Premiership in the next 5 years i will be massively surprised.
Pretty pleased with Spurs, saw them against West Brom a few weeks ago an hopefully with a decent replacement for King and the sale of Bentley, Bale, Pavluchenko, who have all been surplus to requirements we can push on a bit more. Certainly a better team on paper than Fulham, but cant argue with them getting into the UEFA.

demonrail666 · 05.25.2009, 02:18 PM

I've never liked Spurs, but that's just a London rivalry thing, so while the beginning of their season was a disaster they were clearly a European-level club. I was a bit gutted that they finished above West Ham but can't deny that they were a better team, quality wise.

The sad thing about Newcastle is that they're going to have to offload so many players that I just don't see them being left with a core team strong enough to see them jump back back up.

spurs really flunked the first half of the season..bentley is a donkey....pointless having him there, bale....i like him but...... pavylchenko..he says he is staying at the club....ive heard that before, hes gone to wherever come the summer! gomez.. from a complete paddle thwacking greasy dumb goalie to a sheer quality keeper, he found his feet in england and its great to have him, even if he is a bit of a flapper, ledley needs a new knee full stop... modric, palacios (2 of the buys of the season) corluka, lennon, jenas...the stars of the team...our top scorer is darren bent..that says it all.....

keano may comeback with a great season next year but this year took it out of him...id love to see defoe and robbie clicking again..oh well, another season over another mid table finish.....another "always next year" sayings.... please may we get a decent striker and a strong defender.......id pay a billion for tevez....just love his attitude and his play, one of the premierships best players by far......

what is the difference between the premier league and my back garden........?
... there was magpies in my garden today!!!!

boom bomm etc etc and so forth!

The reason i have a soft spot for the Newcastles and Hulls is theres a perception of tackiness that seems to stick to the reputations of their fans, like theyre all somehow just there so Match of The Day 2 can laugh at their haircuts. It annoys me how I keep reading stuff about Newcastle fans being a bunch of fat blokes with poorly spelt banners, its pretty friendly to opposing fans so ive heard

Anyway, Spurs should sign Hangelaand if they can, and i reckon a good offer will come in for Dawson at some stage, if he wants first team football he'll have to head off. Possibly in a part exchange for Hangelaand. Who knows.

PAULYBEE2656 · 05.26.2009, 10:54 AM

yes. haangeland would be a good buy. dawson...never really rated him to be honest..he is ok....no more.....
ive heard the pool are scouting around the crotch of aaron lennon!!! now we have to hold onto him! and maybe we can teach him how to cross a ball properly and then he will be a great player.

No idea why they would want Lennon instead of Benayoun, if we could get a part-exchange for that deal we should jump at it, Benayoun is the most underrated player in the league, hes probably my favourite player outside Spurs (plus he's Israeli, not sure an Israeli has played for Spurs before?).

Imagine, Alonso + Benayoun = Barry + Lennon? Thats no equation.
I like Dawson for sentimental reasons, purely for his demeanour, but i think if he went to a Birmingham or Wolves or Sunderland next season he would be a massive asset to them.

Really happy to see Barça victorious.

A big

to United!

Yeah, Barcelona were brilliant tonight. Simple as that. Man U showed nothing after Eto'o scored. Iniesta was amazing. No arguments.

ithinkimissyou · 05.27.2009, 05:43 PM

delighted with that

bloodcrystallisetosand · 05.27.2009, 09:21 PM

we got spanked by Iniesta. fuck leo messi, iniesta is the best player in the world after that. where was the fight from united? they looked finished after the first one after 10, then when the second went in on 70 they might as well have just gone back down the tunnel. shocking. kudos to barca though, absolute masterclass.

the ikara cult · 05.27.2009, 09:29 PM

United shoulda never started with Anderson, he doesnt know where hes supposed to play. They should have had Park in the midfield with Rooney Berbatov Ronaldo up front, Berbatov might be a bit wishy washy but he could have held it up better and given them an option to play crosses in. Park would also have been better at keeping tabs on Iniesta, who exploited his freedom superbly.

All in all, the best Man U player was John O Shea, who kept Henry quiet. And that says it all. I think it was more Man U being poor than Barca being amazing, but its Fergusons fault for a bad selection.

Tevez to Spurs!

Iniesta sez: FUCK YEAH!!!!

demonrail666 · 05.28.2009, 08:18 AM

Iniesta is the best attacking midfielder I've seen since Riquelme in the last world cup.

pokkeherrie · 06.02.2009, 07:22 PM

demonrail666 · 06.02.2009, 07:36 PM

do you think he practices at being such a nob?

pokkeherrie · 06.02.2009, 07:47 PM

natural talent I'd say.

demonrail666 · 06.02.2009, 07:49 PM

Is he generally disliked in holland too?

pokkeherrie · 06.02.2009, 08:07 PM

Yeah. He's pretty dislikable, so I'm glad he's playing for United.

It's always hard having to cheer for players you dislike, like when Robben scores an important goal for Holland. Ugh.
