Talk about all things NUFC related here. About time we had one given that even Charlton have one!
Much better start to the season than we've had for a good number of years now. Winning 3, drawing 2 and losing 1 (albeit against the whipping boys) is a good return that most of us would have taken at the beginning of the season.
Disappointing to go out of the Carling Cup, as that was probabaly our best chance of silverwear. This is just a transitional season that will hopefully buld the for the future and see us challenging the top 4 again.
Rozenhal and Cacapa look to be our best centre half partnership for a long time, they look strong and are adapting well. Viduka is one of the most skillful players I've seen, Smith gives 1000% wherever he plays, Geremi is a great passer, Beye looks good on the right as does Enrique on the left.
I don't see why we can't break into the top 6 this season ebcause everyone from 5 - 15 is on a very similar level. We've beaten one of our so-called challengers on Saturday 3-1, with another to come on Saturday. Man City will be a very tough team to beat, but given that they shipped in 3 against Fulham will give us a little bit of confidence.
Haway the lads!

We need to go on a long unbeaten run and stop slipping up against teams like Derby.
Is Given back for good????
Yeah it seems the debt was a whole lot more than was first anticpated. Just shows how badly our club was ran by the halfwit Shepherds. They clearly had no business accumen. Ashley has had to invest a further £45million to try and get the debt collectors off our doorstep. Still, at least we're in a more stable financial position now.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this team plays:
Given,
Beye, Rozenhal, Cacapa, Enrique
Milner, Geremi, Barton, N'Zogbia
Viduka, Owen.
I think that's got real potential.
Some credit to Shepherd, he took the £30 million from Northern Rock upfront
Haha...and spent it all at once as well the silly berk! Got one more payment to come in 2010 apparently.
Now there's a sentence ou'll probabaly never ready again:
"Some credit to Shepherd...."
The answer...don't play Shola. He's hopeless. I think I've had enough of watching his (lack of) contribution over the years.
Ho Ho Ho!!! Another season passes....how many years is it now?
Instead of that, I could have been the biggest jokes in the Premiership (twice), spent most of my time playing the likes of Plymouth (and getting beat), embarrassed on national TV during 'Premier Passions'.....
they aren't a worthy adversary....and R.V knows it
or only managing to score 2 against the worst Newcastle united side ever, letting the same crap side score one and harping on about it for 10 years.
The night a very shit Sunderland did us a favour, we got rid of Ruud Gullit.
Yep, and now we are in a position to maybe get back to something approaching "decent@. I hope!
god...how entertaining it must be for you :yawn:
FTM?
Free Ticket Mackems?
Tomorrow, I'd be happy with a point. Ecstatic with a win.
Whats there to talk about ? No trophies and racist supporters.
Oh sorry Ant and Dec and Tony Blair as well.
Howay the lads............
They're chances of getting into europe took a big blow when Titus Bramble left.
Maybe not this season, with 2 years I think we will though. On papaer we have a far better team than some of the players up there. Once we get a first XI out there who are fit and accoustomed to each other I don't see why not.
Not getting carried away because there is/was a lot of work that needed doing after the mess we were in.
Still, they can no doubt put that behind them with the Carling Cup exit enabling their full focus on climbing the table.
Our lack of midfield creativity is our current problem - Smith gives his all but has been poor, and Butt and Geremi in the middle are hardly setting the world alight going forward.
This is why I can't wait for the return of Barton, even perhaps Duff and Emre to full fitness.
As for defensively, Cacapa looks a class act, same goes for Rozenhal, and Beye seems decent too. Enriqué is a great prospect. Shame that Taylor has been so poor this season.
Obviously up front we're sorted too, with Owen (please finally have a consistent run in the team), Martins and the superb Viduka - and Milner and Zoggy down the wings are nothing short of superb.
