Some decent games in prospect this weekend; United have a possible difficult trip to Fulham after their humiliation last weekend but if Fulham put in another cup performance then United will have no trouble bouncing back.

Newcastle MUST get something from their home games if they are to stay in this division. It's going to be a tough ask against Arsenal who are finding a bit of form lately and are on a good run but they can have hope because they gave United a tough game a couple of weeks ago.

Portsmouth likewise must get something from the game with Everton but with Everton having only lost 1 in the last 19 games (or something) it's also going to be very difficult.

Argueably the game of the weekend is Stoke Vs Boro, it will be an intense game and the loser, particularly if it's Boro, will find it extremely tough to stay in this division.

Liverpool-Villa and Spurs-Chelsea also promise to make it an interesting weekend of FOOTBALL

Do you realise there's currently 3 "United's" in the league? If you just say "United" i won't have a clue who you're talking about.

We'll probably lose..they'll graft and we proabably wont.

I know the word 'humiliation' might have confused you as to thinking I was talking about Newcastle, sorry about that

I've already said what's confusing me Lulu.

Do you think you can beat Arsenal Kimb?

if not can you please beat Chelsea next week

No.

WHAT? when did Arsenal get into 4th? c**ts. And when winning over Newcastle they'll get another 3 pts

When Villa started to show that they are not good enough for the top 4....

Hopefully Liver4-00l will put the nail in MON's coffin.

you have such a small man complex about this Kimmy

There is no Newcastle City or West Ham City in this division, so Manchester United tend to be called United. Newcastle United tend to be called Newcastle and West Ham United tend to be called West Ham.

Do Newcastle United fans ever refer to their team as United?

In Manchester the teams are referred to as United and City, let's not be such a berk

Up here Newcastle often gets referred to as United in the press. When i hear United, i think of Newcastle.

there is a world outside of Newcastle.

Glenn lives wrote:there is a world outside of Newcastle.

Yes, it's full of Uniteds. You say United in Hartlepool they won't think of Man U, same with Leeds, and a bunch of other places.

Kimbo you really are a miserable c**t aren't you?

You know full well who Luis was referring to, theres no need to take your shirt off and expose your well fed belly and man boobs.

Let's at least wait till the end of the season, eh. People on here are always so blinded by form! Arsenal drew 4 0-0s in a row, most against relatively easy home opposition. Surely that's not good enough for the top 4?

There's nine games to go, we're level on points, now it's simply a matter of who gets most points out of them 9 games (with the added complication of Everton if they manage to get 4/5 more points than both of us) and whoever does best will be deserving of the spot. In terms of the remaining games, what has happened up to this point is effectively only relevant to the extent it impacts on player's confidence - and confidence can change very fast with one result (for good or bad).

We must get maximum points from Blackburn after our debacle against WBA if we are to have any chance to reach Europe, we still have to go against Spurs, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton.

Arsenal < Villa

Not just because they've consistantly been better but because Arsenal are c**ts

Tbh, we have an injury ravaged squad...so even a point from Blackburn will be good. We still have games against Boro, Sunderland and Stoke too...so don' be too dis-heartened.

I think we are capable of getting something from Blackburn, but will be hard with the squad we have. Hopefully Dyer will return soon, and then we have Cole back after aswell.

Everton winning already through a Baines freekick.

debaser has him

Crouch equalises for Portsmouth.

What is it that Jo does exactly that impresses people?

He's strong, good in the air. Very good on the turn and has a strong left foot on him. Ideal for the lone striker role. People forget how young he is still and the fact he is coming from an inferior league and is still adapting. He'll have a much better season next year.

He really is just a Brazilian Bent from what ive seen so far..just not even as fast as Bent.

What are you talking about - he is a "modern" target man!

He's not mobile enough.

He's very regular.

You don't have to be the quickest to be mobile. He's very intelligent and rolls defenders very easily.

Don't see why Nugent wasn't given more of a chance under Redknapp. He isn't hald bad at all.
