Well, not overly interesting i suppose but.... Noticed Teamtwaddle had the match score +summary by midnight- 100% obvious they lifted it off nufc.com + changed a couple of words. Never noticed such blatant copying before, probably cos im never bored enough to look at the crap on Teamtwaddle. Wonder how much money they make for surfing team sites and stealing info. I realize most news on the net comes 2nd hand but this really pisses me off when Biffa goes to the game and rings back with 1st hand info. And to think they must make a fortune from this site including mobile phone teamtalk news. B*****ds

TEAMTWADDLE Newcastle's inconsistent pre-season continued in Rotterdam tonight as the side suffered a 2-1 defeat at the De Kuip Stadium against Feyenoord. Feyenoord's opener had to be - and duly was - scored by former Magpie Jon Dahl Tomasson but Rob Lee managed to grab an equaliser on the stroke half-time, picking up the ball and firing home from the edge of the area. However, the winner came on the hour when Igor Korneev struck a fearsome shot from the edge of the box. The game petered out towards the full time whistle but Duncan Ferguson and Nobby Solano managed to get on for brief run-outs with Marcelino also showing his face for onlooking Spanish scouts.

NUFC.COM Newcastle's indifferent pre-season continued in Rotterdam as United suffered defeat at the De Kuip Stadium. The home side's opener was inevitably scored by Jon Dahl Tomasson but Robert Lee equalised just before half-time. Lee drove home from the edge of the box following unsuccessful appeals for handball after Carl Cort rose to meet a Cordone cross.

The winner came after 59 minutes when Igor Korneev also fired home from the edge of the box. The game petered out but strangers Duncan Ferguson and Nobby Solano made substitute appearances with Marcelino also showing his face in the shop window for any onlooking Spanish scouts

There are so many football websites these days and yet I don't have a clue where to turn. Does anyone have an opinion as to which of the national sites is the most reliable source of information? Or do they all talk bollocks like the Sunday Sun?

If every site on the net oozed as much excellence as nufc.com , cyberworld would be a beautiful place ;-)

Other than that, apart from the evening chronicle site, the rest are of entertainment value only....

Oops....nearly forgot Riks and ITKs which of course, are works of art :-P

Good lord...where is teamtwaddle located and are they hiring?! I did a better job of plagiarisation copying research at university! If only i'd realised I could actually get paid for it too! ;-)

At least TeamTwaddle carried a report, allbeit nicked very similar to NUFC.COM. A quick look at the orificial s*ite has the team, follwed by For a detailed match report check out this website. Who do they think they are kidding? It really is apalling that the "news" is so pathetic. It's a bliddy disgrace man.

Yeah, when I read that on Friday the first thing I thought was that they left out the link to nufc.com. ;-)

The report on CEEFAX also has a strange air of familiarity about it...
