Indeed

Annoyed as hell I can't seem to find any audio stream that works anymore (BBC5 outside the UK, kaputt. Sky Sports Saturday, kaputt) but we still seem to be doing well against Spurs

I would just like to point out that Manchester United are back in their rightful position - top of the Premiership.

Yes.

Who knows what can happen for you now your goalie situation is sorted

Well done, lads!

I see Rafa's finally admitted that he'd like Owen. Perhaps our lot can get on with signing a couple of strikers that might actually want to play for us now.

I think that it is slightly more important that a certain Dutchman has both his eye in, and looks fit.

The young Korean lad looks good too.

He's quality on PES4 as well

Seems like Spurs had so much trouble shooting on our goal we had to do it for them

If we go in the second half like we did the first we'll get back into it.

Just saw who scored it.

Just because you've got half of Newcastle's old players, doesn't mean you'll play as well as we used to, you know!

Eh conceded another.

Start of season jitters. Got caught by a couple of sucker punches from Spurs. Played better than they have today and against a team that many people predict in the top 6 I'm not worried

I think the keeper is more important for you at ManU. You have more than enough players capable of scoring, but seemed to let in too many last season. We could have gone in front this afternoon if it wasn't for Van Der Saar (sp?).

And after hearing how well Kirkland played this afternoon for WBA, why didn't Arsenal put in a bid for him. Gotta be better than what they have. Chelsea and ManU now have top keepers. Arsenal have to be the weaker link of the 3, surely?!

The first half of the Boro - Liverpool game was absolutely horrible. It seemed as though Benitez had put out a formation that was designed not to score. But the second half is much better so far.

Leeds draw 0-0 with Luton. Aah, another dire season likely...

Hereford bag a 4-0 opening win. Sign of things to come I hope.

Good start for Spurs. Nice to see Jermain Defoe opening his account early.

oh well, just watched Boro Liverpool game, Liverpool defo had the chances, particularly SG.
But some good stuff really, got a point, although we really should have had all three

Sunderland next

That should be fun. I was interested to see that "the best supporters in the country" left 10,000 of them at home for their first match back in the Premier League.

I'm happy with a point off Luton. Lack of any decent penetration up front is starting to look a bit worrying though. Luton just soaked it up, same as Cardiff did during the week.
