Half time at the bridge and all is well (at the moment)

STAT: Torres now has more cards than goals for Chelsea, a whopping four.

<ahem>

Toon is getting closer....

I'm certainly no fan of either team but two well dodgy penalties for Utd today.

Toon can't keep this up.

I did think this ten games ago though

Karma sent

You're probably right, but in the meantime it's nice while it lasts.

Don't forget that Tiote and Cabaye will be back soon (although the stand-ins, mainly Guthrie and Perch have done well).

I'm staring not to like the barcodes this season. I preferred them when they were just a bit pathetic.

I see no reason why Newcastle can't continue to hover around 6th spot, although the Smog Monsters under Martin O'Neill are starting to look quite good.

The sentiment is mutual.

I hope your lot get a result today. I've nothing against Liverpool normally but the fewer points they get the better for us at the moment.

Ahh, that cheeky geordie wit never fails.

I suppose its a bit of grudging respect now they have stopped acting like they have an entitlement to success. Fair play to them. Proof that decent scouting and a decent manager can bring you relative success. Almost old fashioned really and I hope they get 4th.

Pardew for England manager.

They are Scousers isnt that a good enough reason
Personally I would love to see the Toon finish above Liverpool just to piss them off even more. Someone even suggested that the abbreviation of KKK is now King Kennys Klan.

...and I hope you get third.

Aren't you confusing your north east clubs? Boro are the smoggies.

I suspect NUFC have got too much of a lead over SAFC but I did detect a slight note of anxiety on that issue by email from an NUFC season ticket holder this morning.
