This cockerel isn't crowing yet either but having qualified in FIRST place Spurs will get an easier draw than Arsenal who finished SECOND in their group. It is entirely possible that we could go further depending on what kind of draw either of us get but I'm quietly confident that Spurs can beat any one of the teams that they may come up against in the next round.

We entertain Chelsea at White Hart Lane on Sunday and I'm feeling pretty confident we can take all three points off them as well. I'm pretty sure the Man Utd and possibly a few of the Arsenal fans on here will want us to win that one too.

Sod the Champions League, The Littlewoods Cup is where it's at

[Jah Lush]

Sadly, Spurs are out of that one.

KTBFFH!!

I'm actually a little worried that Spurs will go further than us (Arsenal) this year in Europe, but to be honest, I don't really care about Europe this year. It's all about the Prem. As long as either Chelsea or Spurs don't win the bloody thing that is. Then I'd be gutted!

Thanks Sean. And Quids?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I looked that up too and got nothing

I thoufght it might be a misspelling of some As Far As I Know acronym but can't be sure

Pardew confirmed...I wonder wether he loses the dressing room here for the, er, less conventional way he alledgedly (on tinternet must be true) did at West Ham and Southampton. *SLAP INJUNCTION

[Jah Lush]

All right I'll say it. He lost the dressing rooms at those clubs for allegedly shagging some of the players wives. He's got a five and a half year contract. Like I said before I don't think he'll last six months.

Fearless Jah, Fearless...like Andy King in his pomp (playing as I'm sure you'll know not farting around on Sky's graphics)

[SeanMacGabhann]

If you can forget for a moment Ashley?s track record, and just for a moment go with him on the ?well I?ve been lucky to pay peanuts for a manager who got us promoted and fairly steady in a turbulent Premiership, but what we really need is an established manager ? someone I can give a proper contract to and to really take this team forward?

If you can do that (and fair play if you can), would Alan Pardew be the name you come up with? If he was an unknow I?d say fair play, give him a chance (but I#?d also be saying stick with Hughton in that case) but his track record (real and alleged) is rubbish. Couple that with the Newcastle atmosphere, and Jah might be an optimist at 6 months

[????]

He was ok at West Ham Sean and really impressed at Southampton raher than rubbish - only Charlton was a disaster, he looked to have the potential of a very good manager in my opinion but for whatever reasons, he's not fullfilled that. I'd certainly be scratching my head if I was a Geordie agreed.

[Jah Lush]

I was being optimistic Sean and I entirely agree (for a change) with what you've just written, and Quids, surely you mean Andy Gray?

Edited to say this is my 10,000th post. OMG!!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

I?ll bow to you on that one, I just don?t recall any great spell. I suppose that FA cup final was a feat but Dennis Wise got Milwall to a final and you wouldn?t let HIM get near Newc? oh

[????]

Jah, I do!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Welcome aboard the 10,000 club Jah

Keef, Sean, Jah...presumably that's it....for now
