I'd be loving this if Wolves and Villa had won their games. Boo to not winning on my accumulator. Sounds like an awesome game for the neutral anyway.

Since I'm going to Evolution Festival, I've been trying to listen to the bands I wasn't really familiar with. I really like Skeleton Boy by Friendly Fires.

Accumulator on:

Arsenal to beat Middlesbrough

Aston Villa to beat Bolton

Liverpool to beat Hull

Man Utd. to beat Tottenham

Chelsea to beat West Ham

Wolves to beat Barnsley

Derby to beat Charlton

I'll win £49.95 from £1.

I know Amazon.co.uk is good for picking up bargain games, so maybe you could try Amazon.com?

You also need Mario Tennis and WCW/NWO Revenge. Just thinking of those games makes me want to get an N64 again..

Oh, I'm not laughing at the racism, just at the blokes shouting pointless and offensive things for 90 minutes. I should have really cleared that up...

Angry Geordies normally protest outside of an empty stadium for the Sky Sports News cameras to vent their anger.

It is funny/verging on annoying when the older people sitting near me in the stand shout instructions at the players, followed by an insult... Usually racist.

You mean concede or play badly for a while? Those are almost certain. I can imagine them ending up on the pitch. Any game I've been to with random bits of paper/card given out, they've always ended up on the pitch.

Alan Shearer goes into his fourth Newcastle game on Monday looking to oversee a first managerial victory

and commented ahead of the visit of Pompey that:

"I want it to be a fantastic atmosphere from the first minute. The fans can help us and can play a massive

part in our survival.

"They have turned up in their thousands all season and have had nothing to shout about. But I'm asking them for three games to get behind us and make it a special atmosphere.

"Having played in front of those fans I know what a difference it makes and I hope the players respond in

the right way."

Graeme Danby will give a pre-match rendition of "The Blaydon Races" and the teams will enter to a four-sided wall of black and white cards. 20,000 flags are also being given out and 1,000 fans up in the Leazes Level Seven Corner will be handed scarves.

Black and white cards? I wonder if they overlooked the fact that they'll all end up on the pitch once we concede, or play badly for a stretch of time.

I'm looking forward to the game, I just always hate when the manager puts out the stock "get behind the team because we're shite and can't ignite the fans with the on-field performance" interview.

My XBL subscription ran out a couple of weeks ago. I normally don't even download demos but I had to see what the fuss was about. Turns out it's really good.

Or, a torrent and a blank disc .

Never trust Chris Kamara, Ladbrokes customers.

I usually just put an accumulator on for the weekend's games. I'll go for 5 or 6 games, but it doesn't bring me much luck. I've only won on an accumulator once, that was betting on the big 4 and the Old Firm to win, got £6.54 back from £1.

The download link is down.

Instead of adding Celtic and Rangers to the Premier League, I think they should add the Scottish teams to the League Cup.

At matches, I sit a few rows in front of a man who sits and shouts all game about how we should be beating the team we're playing because we're better than them. He'll shut up when we play the big 4, but for some reason he can't seem to grasp the fact that we are utterly shite and have been for years.

I think that's the problem with the majority of Newcastle fans, and why other fans seem to have so much hate for geordies.

Oh, and to any Bolton fans that might post:

What was Nolan like for you? People seemed to rate him highly, but you can only get an idea of what players truly like when you watch them every week. I thought 4 million might have been a good deal for him and was surprised we got him. Every time I've seen him play for us I've been unimpressed. Same deal with Ryan Taylor too.

I've thought we were going down ever since Given left for Man City. He can be frustrating at times, but if we'd sold Given in the summer we'd already be out of it.

Our remaining fixtures are Portsmouth, Middlesbrough and Fulham at home and Liverpool and Aston Villa away. I can see the team maybe getting 4 points out of them. A win and a draw at home. I think Fulham will beat us, and there's obviously not much chance of anything in the two games away.

I can only hope that relegation would be a bit of a fresh start, and we'd maybe come back up after a couple of seasons. I doubt very much it'll happen like that though.

The horrible thing is, I'm guessing the masses would accept Solano as the manager.

Apparantly when Shearer leaves at the end of the season, Faustino Asprilla is being lined up to manage Newcastle in the Championship. Mike Ashley watched him score those goals in Europe and immediately believed that he was the man to return and take Newcastle to another level.

Temuri Ketsbaia has recently resigned from Anorthosis Famagusta, so he'll be waiting in the wings ready for when Tino gets sacked after three months.

No, Carroll has another season of being godlike until he turns to shit, much like anyone else Newcastle produce.

I've often wondered why this is. This, and why Newcastle can buy a good player, only for them to almost automatically forget how to play football.
