Bramble, I hear we can get him on a free? Which means we give Newcaslte nothing and Bramble more. *shudders* oh the horror. Kaka is probably the best player in the Europe at the moment, I'd have to go for him.

Funny, I was thinking the exact opposite - the Premiership League will give us either you, the Mancs or Aston Villa (yes, poxy Aston Villa) as our first home game so we don't break it.

Think that last one was a little tounge in cheek

Just glad we haven't lost the unbeaten home record, would love to break it.

Ahh got it. So we'll get to see him for another 2 minutes today.

Part of me is glad we've fielded a strong side, the other part is worried about FA Cup final fittness/injuries. I thought Morais had left? Or have I got the wrong one?

Moved to the wrong club then...! Saying that, at least he didn't move to Spuds, chances there would be worse than Newcastle.

Only if we've got a 2 goal or more cushion, don't want the unbeaten home game run to end before we've well and truely smash the record just so a couple of kids can play [i am usually all for youth/reserves players playing more games nut not at home at the moment ]

Robben has a good chance of being fit too I heard. He may have glass legs, but when he's got defenders on the back foot and he doesn't end up in his backside, he is a threat. Hopefully after two seasons of averageness [due mainly to injury to be fair], next season will be HIS season, just ban him from playing with Holland.

Its a damn shame, loved the 8 minutes I've seen of him over the past 2/3 years. Good luck to him though.

Theres a bit in the Mirror today that Carvalho is having round the clock treatment to be fit for the final. Would be a huge boost to have him and JT at the back and free Essien.

Haven't got the proper image, but this modified one:

Maybe Leeds should be omitted from the poll, because its CFC law to hate them, you don't get to make a choice. I'm shocked they've gotton so few votes. I hate Liverpool, but Leeds are Leeds.

Wise's? I went to that, thought the atmosphere was brilliant to be honest. But then again there was Zola tribute match if that counts.

You're a gal, Gem. You of all people should understand that it's better to be a bit late than a bit early...

Stupid tackle by Mikel, reacted to Smith not getting booked for a tackle from behind.

So many lines...so little time... Bit late aren't you Bri? Did that ages ago

I care, they're my local club and I've been going to their matches for 8 years... Really didn't want to see them go. Lets hope the Spammers join them

Out of all the football writers, pundits, 'experts' etc.. He is the only one who I can stomache reading through. He may be a glorified gossip columnist, but I get the Mirror every day [boo hiss, disgrace!] and read his column every time its published - he is one of, if not the best, out there. He occasionally writes pieces of crap, but usually, he's decent.

Drogba for me, and fully deserved.

I often do that to banned members, don't forget funny ones too... anything that spams spams spams.

To be fair mate, you haven't got any votes

Where have you been hiding for the past 3 seasons?

My mistake, very unlike him though.

Yes not that I voted on the poll, because its not as simple as him just being tired. He was tired because of all the effort he put in over the season, not because he played 60 games.
