I'm as pessimistic as the rest of you, it comes with ahem thirty one years of practise. But c'mon if we'd have won yesterday what would we have been saying . third in the league having had a pretty tough lot of opening fixtures. I agree that some of the performances we've put in have been woeful, and yesterdays tactics looked dubious, but if we'd predicted where we'd have be in the table now ,at the beginning of the season we'd probably be satisfied. eh?

We seem to plunge to doom and gloom after every poor result/performance and then get euphoric after matches like the Man U game. It is part and parcel of being a Newcastle fan. We get on with it :-)

And I'm not going to judge Bobby too harshly on yesterday. I haven't met a man who readily admits he's made a mistake. I'll just wait until the Everton match to see if things change.

I'm still a pint half full sort of lass !

Still laughing at your comment about not meeting a man who admits his mistakes. Have to agree there Kats!

You're right though. It's a cliche but as NUFC fans - everything is black or white. We're either flying high or suicidal.

Maybe you don't want some men to admit their mistakes.

Whatever can you mean Homer?

I think that one is directed at me Lynda ! I'll catch up, with you later Homer mate !

Well, don't ever watch a game with Kats. She gets very drunk, falls off the chair and forgets the score. Then, afterwards, she'll ask for your view of the game and plagiarise your opinion and pass it off as if it's her own. I mean as if women know anything about football.

Men always win in arguments about sweeping generalisations. `8¬)

Hang on that sounds familiar....but she didn't forget the score...she missed the goal and never knew it! ;))

Ok, so we lose a game, it isn't the end of the world, it could be worse. I lent a friend £45,000 for plastic surgery earlier on this year. Now I don't know what he looks like.

I wish to readily admit that I may have made a mistake by posting in this thread. It may lead to untold pain at some future point in my life.

There, I think I've successfully covered every base now ! `8¬)

....... and precisely what is there to be cheerful about?

Homer - you are mistaken I have never been drunk at a match with you.

Only Gav has had that dubious honour.

I guess I must have been talking whilst the goal happened eh Gav ????

Kats - have you ever seen Homer and Gav in the same room together.
Nuff said?

-- Anonymous, October 22, 2001

Clarky, me and my belly can't fit into the same room together never mind me and someone else! ;))

Talking Kats? I don't think so....slapping people and other stuff was more like it.... :))

Never been drunk at a match with me ? I seem to remember an away match at Leicester where you were certainly in an advanced state of refreshment ! So was I mind and I'm still glad Jay, wonkey and Mrs wonkey were there to protect me ! `8¬)

Kats' pint's never less than full !

-- Anonymous, October 22, 2001

Homer I think you are definitely gonna need some protection next time I see you !!! And before you start ........not that sort ;-) As I recall I got drunk after the Leicester game not before!

-- Anonymous, October 22, 2001

It's amazing what a selective memory you have. Believing you weren't drunk before the game, NUFC didn't score and you've never met a man who readily admits his mistakes, all in one thread ! `8¬)

Bliddy Hell that'll teach me to start a thread trying to cheer us all up !!! It's my perrogative to have a selective memory !!!! Homer ?? who ??

-- Anonymous, October 22, 2001

Haha Nick, i'll remember that one!

-- Anonymous, October 22, 2001

Forgotten me already eh ? That was obvious by your comments about men you haven't met !! `8¬)

I think it's great if you don't know who I am. That way I can make up a new identity. I'm going to have to think carefully about who I want to be now.

My seat is exactly 4 rows behind Kats and i can confirm that she was, most definitely, not watching the play when the goal went in! Were you Kats....?!

;-)

-- Anonymous, October 22, 2001

So that's just a few seats along from me in the same row. I'll keep a close watch at the Villa match min so I can corrobarate your story (if I can ever spell it, that is). Us men have to stick together lyeuk.

-- Anonymous, October 22, 2001

Good job that's not my usual seat then min !

and the match when I missed the goal was the Lockeren match. It's not a regular occurance !! Unfortunately I witnessed both Spurs' goals.
