7 minutes extra at Hull 

Told you you would be safe 

*Wipes brow*

 

My heart's doing 20 to the dozen 

 *passes chill pill*

Right, I now want a full scale clear out there 

 

They could play another 77 minutes and Hull would not score.

 

I'm pleased that Steve Bruce has taken Hull down as I don't like him much or Hull for that matter. Will see them next season in the Championship.

 

 

 

Great to see Liverpool being totally thrashed 6-1 by Stoke. Looks like Rodgers job is on the line. Just a shame they could not overtaken by Spurs.

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like Mike Ashley is going nowhere. Tough character and I don't think the fans will get him out anytime soon.

 

 

I see the fans still want the owner out though 

Yep, same with my lot too 

He won't will he cause when the telly money goes up the club will be worth even more....

 

I saw a programme about him and his company Sports Direct. He is IMO quite a dodgy character who is not shy about exploiting all the business practices he can.

 

Newcastle is a vehicle for money making.

 

He pretty much never speaks to anyone, press, business, no one.

 

 

Apparently he spoke to a reporter before the game today and says he isn't going anywhere till they win something   

 

They mentioned that on Final Score. Apparently qualification for Champions League would be enough.

 

But how can he expect to outperform teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man Ure, Liverpoo and Tottenham/Southampton to a lesser degree unless he spends a shed load of cash. He's got the money, but will he spend it?

 

 

Ohh hells bells Sprout, sympathy 

Says he's going to dip his hand in his pocket and invest.....we'll see...and who he invests in 

 

I don't want any cut price deals or crocs 

I know, scary isn't it? 

We're off down to that London now!

I'm looking forward to the game today - and i reckon it's about as 50/50 as you're likely to get.

 

Norwich perhaps have slightly better balance throughout the team but 'boro won both league encounters this season.

Good luck today Joe

Apparently Bamford is fit!

Bit of a hospital pass for Carnelian there. We didn't turn up and were totally outplayed!!

 

 

This is a tough one as it's two FM's going head to head. But in true neutral style I will offer my commiserations to Garage Joe and congratulations to Carnelian.

 

 

On a different note I see our local rivals have got rid of their manager Nigel Clough. I do find it bizarre that you would get rid of a manager after leading them to the play-offs and a great cup run. Surely the least you would expect next season is the play-offs and possibly automatic promotion.

 

Finally, I also note that Derby have released their manager too. It's all starting to happen.

 

 

No need EC ! They really did hammer us! I've had a lovely day out! Just approaching Peterbro' on a dry train but managed a few in the Parcel yard ! Looking forward to visiting old haunts this year with the added bonus of Hull and Burnley.

 

Despite the result I'm pleased you are enjoying your day out. Hopefully you will enjoy next season as much as this one.

 

 

Can't wait to see the fixtures!

 

Not long now.

 

Keep seeing pictures of our new pitch being laid, apparently it is like the one at Arsenal, part grass, part fake grass!

 

The new scoreboard should be up soon.

 

Don't think they are spending money on players, just a new pitch and scoreboard. 

 

 

Back home now and watching the preliminaries on the box. I met so many Norwich fans today, I wonder if I saw Carnelian ?

 

Possibly. Did you see any Michael Palin lookalikes?

 

Hi Garage Joe,

 

hope you had a good day.  Have to admit that I thought Boro would be more of a battle and the match almost seemed over at mid way during the first half.  Boro were much better in the second half but didn't really like look they were going to force extra time.

 

I can't say too much about boro fans as I got to the stadium at 2:15 so very little time to soak up the atmosphere. Was hoping to have time to check out the pubs around Wembley but I could only manage a couple of cans in a crappy night club-come-pub right next to the ground. 

 

no problems with the boro fans I saw, they seemed in good spirit despite the result

 

Hope you have a great season in 2015-16!

 

 

I don't look like Michael Palin!  Or Sarah Palin for that matter!

Oh you just caught me! If you go to that London again then try the Parcel Yard. It's in the old LNER offices above KX. it was full of Norwich and 'Boro casketeers before and after.

Good luck in the Premier League!

I stayed there and then made my way to the ground for 2:30! You don't really want to be in Wembley for anything other than football!

Quite!

Congratulations to Norwich and Carnelian, they deserved it on the day

Advocaat left Blunderland.   Do they want Carver?

A stressful job. Would you? 

No, but I don't want Carver either 

How about Nigel Clough 

Nope. I know who I want but he's way out of our price bracket and there's no way in hell.......  

You have to tell me who it is Sprout, don't keep me on tenterhooks. 

Rafa Ben.........like I said....pie in the sky
