OK...know I'm a bit previous...but it's Saturday on the other side of the world...and there's a bit of a spark about this match.May well be wrong...but it could be 3-2 / 2-3 or...0-0?

Well said we would get thumped by Villa and the Toffeemen (twas I that said we would beat Spurs 5-2, so have since decided against that philosophy!!) so on that premise Fulham to win 3-1And Bud if you are reading this cannot contct you on yr mobile am now off to the East End Brewery Causeway Bay to watch the Pool if youre around???

A point would do me, too, although it's one of those b*stard fixtures that we SHOULD win so we'll be furious at 5 O clock.

A point would do me fine, although of course it would be nice to win in London finally.Someone on here (can't remember who) compared the team that last won in London to our current side and honestly there is a vast difference.
Tomasson and Ketsbaia up front that day, now we have Shearer and Bellamy, with Solano and Robert to provide dual threats down the wings. It must be psychological, as the team is good enough.
-- Anonymous, November 17, 2001
Hmm. The way I've figured it: the London Hoodoo is worth a goal start to the opposition plus goals from Saha, Goma and Clarky. So, we need to score 5. Not impossible: 2 from Bellamy, one from Shearer and one apiece from Solano and Robert. Bout time Gary Goalscoring Midfielder Speed scored, too. Hmm, I think I'd be delighted with a point, all-in- all.

now, now - all this positive talk of a point is getting me optimistic.We'll lose. Does anyone SERIOUSLY expect otherwise?

It has been all freezing cold, howling winds and pissing rain here in sunny Barcelona this week. Yesterday, there was a mini-tornado just offshore. I've got a stinking cold and have been stuck indoors all week. Beside me is a box of Cohiba cigars that I am unable to smoke because of said cold.And we are playing in London.
Forgive me if I'm not my usual chipper voice of optimism today. I would be DELIGHTED with a point...

There was a thing on the news about North Eastern people and Christmas.Apparently, we are the poorest area yet spend the most at Christmas, therefore they came to the conclusion that Geordies are the most generous.
Whether they also mean the football team's defence is generous is another thing.
Just noticed that the U17 and U19 teams both lost. 2-1 to Leeds for the U17's and 1-0 for the U19's

Halfway through a piece of commentary, the Metro idiot starts telling us about how "British Gas are the big power in the North East" or something similarO'Brien booked, we are going to get hit by suspensions if this carries on, we must have at least double the amount of bookings we had at the same stage last season.

Has Bellamy actually done anything yet? Howay man, Craig, it takes more than a good run to turn you into an icon.BTW, what would be saying if Wozza was playing as badly as Elliott. To my recollection, he has played OK once - against Villa. Hate to say it, but is really a PL player?

I live in fear of breaks in the season, they never seem to do us any good and this time it broke up a run of sorts, on the back of a great win v VIlla.You're right though, this London thing is pathetic and it serves to give advantage to the home team.

Dougal, Elliot hasn't been the same since he broke his leg, I would actually play Quinn ahaead of him at the moment. Afterall Quinn has never played for us with a left midfileder in front of him.

Yeah, remember how much good those breaks did us last year when we were knocked out of the Cup. The scores appear to be the same as they were all over the PL.

Next time we're due to play in London, the players should be blindfolded and told they're going somewhere else. The blindfolds should only be removed as they exit the tunnel and head for the pitch or bench.

Kegsy, he played in the Brentford game with Lolo in front of him and looked terrifyingly bad. In fact, at one point, he looked like he wanted to cry because he just knew he wasn't good enough.

Dougal is right, if we went down battling every time in London it wouldn't be so bad, but these abject surrenders EVERY TIME point to serious problems.

Come on man, Cort is a good striker.My uncle has been watching the Toon for 45 years and he reckons Cort is a great player.
He's big, pretty strong and gets into the right positions. He'd certainly be a better partner than Shearer in games like this.
Full time now, give that team a big slap.

Well it would have been 2-3 if Shearer hadn't missed the pen. (See top of thread). Let's hope they take it out on Derby next Saturday, Ipswich in the Worthless Cup, followed by a guaranteed three points away to Charlton. That's nowhere near London, is it?
