Hope so too bud, need something to happen soon eh. Hey just seen on SSN finished 0-0 with Leeds.

Martins? 9 million? I cant beleive that. I cant say I've seen a worse player for a long time. I'm shocked. Good business by the Toon. The guy is GASH.

Anyway - the mighty 'Pool for the Prem next season. You heard it here first.

(PS thats BLACKPOOL FC)

Not sure about that but you seem to be making a few decent signings so you should not get too involved at the bottom.

Just read in paper only 16,000 were there last night, and 5000 of those were Leeds fans! Contrasts it to 1996 when thousands turned up just to see Shearer being unveiled outside the ground, ah the good old days eh mate.

Think you are probably right though why anyone turns up for freindlies I do not know.

I know they are needed to get players geared up for the season but as for going to watch them...no thank you.

Everytime I go to a friendly, it's horrific. Definitely giving next year's pre-season a miss (not sure I'll even be in the country anyway, thankfully).

Used to report on non league ones a few years back....3 players with the same number on the pitch a mix of old and new kit and even if you asked people on the bench they would not know who scored, assisted etc...great stuff

Then again sometimes the league games were not much better and most of it was made up anyway (especially if the goal came just after half time and I was still in the bar!!!!).
