I think you'll find the season started last weekend Lee

Also, still 100% (until Saturday at least) after two games thanks to this beauty:

Guess which player said this:

"I was born in Oldham but started supporting Newcastle from watching Alan Shearer as a kid. I admired how he played, so that’s where the Newcastle connection came in.

"I was the only one in my family who supported Newcastle, just because of Shearer. I got a lot of stick from my mates because, coming from Oldham, they were all (Manchester) United fans."

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I'm tempted to say Obertan but I suspect it's Colback.

 

[Lee]

French player Obertan born in Oldham? Close but no cigar.

Not Colback either, he's from Northumberland.

I'll give you a clue he now plays for Sunderland.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Is it the bloke they signed today (which I read as them signing David Bentley when I glanced at it this morning)?

 

[Lee]

Yes! Will Buckley Newcastle United fan.

Here's another:



“I was at Newcastle when I was a kid from 10-12 before I went to Middlesbrough.” “So I grew up supporting Newcastle and David Ginola and players like that.”

“It’s fantastic to playing against north-east teams.” “These are the type of games I want to be playing in.”

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Woodgate, surely? Wait no, he is a Middlesbrough fan and he'd be too old. Leadbitter maybe? Assuming they play for 'Brough now?

 

[Lee]

Nope, he's also a Sunderland player.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Lee "Two reds per season" Cattermole?

 

[Lee]

Haha no, he's not a Geordie.

The answer is Sunderland born Adam Johnson.

Last one:

When asked who he would support if his beloved Newcastle United ceased to exist.

He responded: “Put it this way. I would stay as far away from Sunderland as I could.

“It would probably have to be Gateshead.”

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Danny Graham?

 

[Lee]

Correct. Sunderland 'striker' Danny Graham.

 

[Loveless]

Pardew and Iron Sheik!

"Alan Pardew and his anger management trainer are optimistic about the new season"

 

[Uncle Sam]

Charlton, trying to entice me to renew my season ticket, have sent me a complimentary ticket for the first home game of the season versus Wigan. I already had one - one which I spent twenty-eight fucking pounds on.

 

[Lee]

Then take someone else?

 

[Uncle Sam]

You greatly overestimate the appeal of a Charlton Athletic match.

 

[Lee]

it's a free ticket, surely tasty's not skiing.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

You greatly overestimate the appeal of a Charlton Athletic match.

Sell them on it being against Wigan.

 

[Lee]

I'm sure one of the 4 Wigan away fans would want it.

 

[Lee]

So Pulis then?

 

[Loveless]

Madness from Palace. I'd like to see how much the betting odds on their relegation have changed.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I don't think they'll go down, but they'll struggle for sure. Pulis' reputation has been enhanced even if his job prospects are smaller now - I very much doubt chairmen with tighter purse strings (usually the sort of clubs he'd attract) will hire him based on these arguments over finances etc...

 

[Lee]

That's now official. Time to take the Palace players out my fantasy team.

 

[Lee]

Bet Victor has Scott Sinclair higher odds of scoring on Sunday than Shola Ameobi. The same Shola Ameobi who doesn't play for Newcastle.

 

[Tastycles]

Annual predict the league table:

1. Chelsea
2. Manchester City
3. Liverpool (we're back to being stupidly optimistic again)
4. Manchester United
5. Arsenal
6. Spurs
7. Everton
8. Newcastle
9. Stoke
10. Sunderland
11. West Ham
12. Queen's Park Rangers
13. Southampton
14. Swansea
15. Leicester
16. Hull
17. Crystal Palace
18. Aston Villa
19. Burnley
20. West Brom

That bottom half are all completely shit. Sunderland are not good, but I genuinely couldn't see any of those beneath them finishing higher.
