My brother is a Man United fan. One summer we were in the Greater Manchester area.
We were all talked into going to a friendly match between United and Inter Milan. I was promised some of the best players from each team would be playing.
So we got to the stadium.... Turns out we got the day right but not the location. They were playing in Italy lol
As for tonight... Going to be a tricky game, but we should have enough about us to win this game.
We only need one more goal for 1100 goals in our Premier League history. :cool:
I also saw this on Lee Ryder's Twitter - with Papiss Cisse's goal (against Burnley) he's now joint tenth (with Obafemi Martins) in our all time Premier League goal scorers list:
1) Alan Shearer (303 games) (148 goals).
2) Peter Beardsley (129) (47).
3) Andy Cole (58) (43). Shola Ameobi (294) (43).
5) Les Ferdinand (68) (41).
6) Nolberto Solano (230) (37).
7) Rob Lee (267) (34).
8) Gary Speed (213) (29). Demba Ba (54) (29).
10) Obafemi Martins (88) (28). Papiss Cisse (82) (28).
I don't know if this is true, but in the Sun newspaper it says we're trying to sign Mark Schwarzer (from Chelsea) on an emergency loan seeing as Tim Krul is out till the end of January and now Rob Elliot is injured as well.

I think we do need an emergency loan keeper but I think we're mad enough not to do it. ;-)
So according to The Chronicle website, Alan Pardew is nominated in a list for Manager of the Month Award for November. (He was also nominated in October as well)
Daryl Janmaat is also nominated in a list for Player of the Month Award as well for November:
I doubt Pardew will win, I still remember when he won the Manager of the Year Award for the 2011/12 season (when we finished 5th) and he never won one Manager of the Month Award that season.
Pardew however did win the Manager of the Month Award last season in November, so I guess there's a chance.

Starting Line Up: Elliot, Janmaat, Williamson, Dummett, Haidara, Abeid, Tiote (c), Gouffran, Perez, Ameobi and Cisse.
Subs Bench: Alnwick, Streete, S. Taylor, Anita, Cabella, Armstrong and Riviere.
Hopefully we can get a good result tonight, especially as we play Chelsea, Everton, Manchester United and Arsenal soon in the League.
It currently looks like we're in a run of defeats again
Hopefully we can because we can't afford another defeat with Arsenal, Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea still to play this month.
I'm glad Cisse scored but we still need a proven goalscorer in January.
I'm also wondering when our next win is going to happen.
We stay where we were at top 9.
Chelsea will be very tough, even at St James's but I think At our best we can get a result so....
Bring them on

We're too goal shy.
We've scored 15 goals currently and I agree we need to score more goals, I also personally think we need a proven goalscorer in January as well.
Starting Line Up: Elliot, Janmaat, Coloccini (c), S. Taylor, Dummett, Sissoko, Tiote, Colback, Ameobi, Perez and Cabella.
Subs Bench: Alnwick, Williamson, Haidara, Anita, Gouffran, Riviere and Cisse.
It's good that Coloccini is back, I doubt we'll get a good result though but I hope I'm wrong.
Hopefully we play as well in the second half.
Unfortunately though it looks like Elliot is injured and will probably be replaced by Alnwick.
Chelsea dominating possession as you'd expect but not really doing anything with it!
Great to see Cisse still has his scoring boots
It was a blow to lose Elliot before half time but big performance from Jak Alnwick to keep Chelsea out when they were piling the pressure.
Top 7 in December! Looking good
It was so nervewracking but Chelsea are a top team so you expect them to score and do well
Here's his record:
Arsenal: Played: 7, Won: 0, Drawn: 2 and Lost: 5.
Chelsea: Played: 8, Won: 4, Drawn: 1 and Lost 3.
Everton: Played: 7, Won: 1, Drawn: 1 and Lost: 5.
Liverpool: Played: 9, Won: 3, Drawn: 2 and Lost: 4.
Manchester City: Played: 10, Won: 1, Drawn: 0 and Lost: 9.
Manchester United: Played: 8, Won: 2, Drawn: 2 and Lost: 4.
Tottenham Hotspur: Played: 9, Won: 3, Drawn: 2 and Lost: 4.
We;ve certainly taken some scalps from the top teams in recent times. Good to see. Hopefully we can take advantage of Arsenal;s weaknesses on Saturday
I think we do need an emergency loan keeper but I think we're mad enough not to do it. ;-)
Decent away draw. Great draw all round for the cup
A game we really should win but you know us, we rarely conform to the script
Here's his overall record (in all competitions) as Newcastle manager:
Managed: 180, Won: 70, Drawn: 41 and Lost: 69.
Daryl Janmaat is also nominated in a list for Player of the Month Award as well for November:
