Same here. CAn't get out of work as they're having blasted meetings all day, so I have to cover the phones. *grumble*

Of course the meetings are taking place at a table 5ft in front of me so it's going to be real challenge not to start screaming as we bang in our customary 4-5 goals at home against Soton. Which we WILL DO, right? Right?!!

Pleasant day here, in the 50's and sunny now, going up to the low 80's this afternoon.

Well, It's been a lovely sunny day here on Tyneside. Maybe 60 degrees, no chance of rain tonight.

I'm off to the match with mad mark. Gonna take some pictures off him smashing up the bigg Market after the game to sell to the Ronnie Gill.

Dry in Northampton, with no chance of rain which pisses me off because as soon as I seeded my lwan it hasn't rained, watering can out again tonight :0(

Then into the Living Room, snatching the remote from my girlfriend as she settles down to watch Eastenders, switch it over and watch every minute of the build up and the match and post match analysis.

Howay the lads, hope the webcast works okay for you all tonight.

A finer bunch there is not (not refering to the rabble masquerading as a football team) Is there some reason why hughes hasn't played? Did he piss bobby off or what? I think if I was at home, i'd be in the bar or sitting outside on the green ( is it still calle the green) eldon square by the Northumberland arms?

Hughes has been playing all season and probably needed a rest. When O'Brien came in Robson has had the opportunity to give Aaron a rest.

Toon expat, go to www.nufc.co.uk and look for a logo/link to Magic/Metro. I think it's on the left side of the screen if you scroll down. No idea what the real audio link is, as I'm at work and on a pc with no sound card. :-(

Alternatively, go to www.saintsfc.co.uk and look for a live match commentary link. I tried going to their site, but something in it is crashing my computer so I can't even load the page.

These sports.com people must have been on the hoy since this morning, they have players tackling players from the same team and now it's full time. What is going on? Seems like Bobby has told Luax2 to shoot on sight, I think he'll score tonight if not playing footy then at some bar after.

-- Anonymous, May 01, 2001

Macmanaman just made a rotten tackle on Scholl. I am watching the CL out of the corner of my eye. No goals yet. Could be us next season if we triumph in the Intertoto. Do you get a real cup if you win the Intertoto or is it just a passport to UEFA Cup. Would we have a tickertape reception and parade around the streets of Newcastle some time in August and would we give it pride of place in the new museum? Bayern just scored. The NUFC Youth players who've won caps this year are being presented on the pitch - Chopra, Offiong, Neale 'Terry' Mac and so on.

I read on nufc.com that our final match against Aston Villa might be a "winner takes all" Intertoto Cup place decider. Do any of us really believe that the prospect of Intertoto then eventually UEFA Cup will help Bobby to attract top players here? Lua Lua doing well right now. Good cross in by Barton. We're putting some pressure on now.

Are you looking at the telly Barry? Or do you have some secret place on the internet where they show the game?

Nah I dont think the Intertoto can attract any players but it gives us a chance to play some in Europe and why not take the chance when you have it.

I'm just filling in some details for the webcast-less amongst us. Soton now playing 4-2-4. Pahars is on, I must have missed that, but he doesn't seem to have touched the ball.
