  1. I imagine Newcastle fans still call it St James' Park, as that is what it has always been regardless of what their chairman wants to call it. As for the others (and you can also include Bolton and Huddersfield in this list in that their new grounds only ever had a commercial sponsors name since they opened) - I genuinely feel sorry for fans of those clubs in this respect. We nearly had the same situation when Lowe announced that it would be called the Friends Provident stadium, only for a fan backlash to get them to add the St Marys bit which then became the obvious name for us to adopt. As someone has already posted - it doesn't matter what sponsorship deals the club does and what the media decide to call it, to us it will only ever be St Marys.
  2. I think you're forgetting Chelsea. I would say there's a better than 50% chance that they will part with Conte one way or another this summer.
  3. 1988/89 - we went 23 games without a win under Chris Nicholl, who kept his job until the summer of 1991.
  4. 93:31 according to bet365. Only supposed to be 3 mins added on. How many goals have we conceded in extended stoppage time this season?
  5. Stoke get a third! Edit: maybe not then.it flashed up 3-1 on bet365
  6. Spurs 5-4 Leicester!
  7. There's always next year
  8. Nice one Crouchie!
  9. Doing a perfect job of controlling the tempo and preventing City from playing with any intensity so far. They look like they are already on the beach to me.
  10. Swansea 1-0
  11. http://streamsshooter.gq/wiz/wiz2.php
  12. Any decent streams?
  13. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CC5aX8OzOIl New single out today. New album due in September.
  14. Of course they are not. They are professional players, most of whom don't support the club and therefore don't have the emotional investment that fans do. They will be looking to salvage some pride from a poor season, playing for a place in a world cup squad, or trying to impress potential suitors who might want to sign them in the summer. The very idea that they will roll over and let a team who have only scored twice in their last 8 games give them a tonking, just because a few bitter fans on an internet forum hate Mark Hughes, is utterly risible.
  15. Yep. I remember it. Derby were already relegated IIRC. Watching back those highlights, our offside trap really wasn't working that day was it. Was Nichol still manager then?
  16. There's a Boro fan who sits a few desks from me and she doesn't remember this!
  17. Anybody who hasn't discovered this yet, you really need to get on it immediately. It's by far the best sci-fi series produced in many years. 5 episodes in to an already excellent 3rd season, they have just raised the bar massively with the latest one.
  18. Of all of the departures we have seen over the last few years, I will not be too sad to see him go TBH. If he does stay, I hope Hughes or whoever we get to replace him doesn't give him the captaincy next season. He really isn't captain material.
  19. He also has Brighton staying up on 25 points
  20. Are you actually Mr Logic from Viz?
  21. I think his 'heads gone' comment was about the players, not the OP.
  22. Someone made a point in another thread that I think is key. Mark Hughes may not be the absolute best managerial option we could attract, but he is here, he has (almost certainly) kept us up, he has the players playing for him, and the last thing we need right now is a third consecutive summer of p!ssing around trying to get a manager in place and ballsing up our player recruitment. Offering him a longer term contract is a complete no-brainer IMO.
