Smith has never been the same player since his bad injury, although he was playing regularly in a very poor Newcastle team albeit out of position IMO. Would I take Smith? Yes for sure! Would I take Smith in a swap deal for Cuellar - no chance!

I can totally see why he would get frustrated. Players want to play in every game and Im sure he rates his ability good enough to play in every match. Plus he went through matches crusing them and was often our best player, only to be dropped for the next match.

I hope the big man is correct!! Keeping a clean sheet in the first game could be what wins it for us.

Agree with the above. I like him and always thought he could have offered a bit more but this season seems like he has hit a dry patch. He was brilliant last season. At the same time il be equally happy if he stays. 1.5 million would be a decent amount, Im sure someone down south will be in for him.

Its just madness. He did superb in the first half, all he needed was another transfer window to make the squad bigger and stronger. Bizarre one!

2nd leg tonight! Everyone fancy Man Utd to win? Id like to see an all english final but if Barca win then I wont be too bothered.

Its done and dusted yet harley boy!!! Eck has pulled more difficult wins out of the bag than Fulham before!! Plus I think they will beat Blackburn!!!

I want Stoke, Hull and Bristol Tits to go up and I want Southampton to stay up so I hope the Baggies lose tonight! Sorry Cammy chief!!!

Davis was brilliant first few games but would I be correct in saying he has dropped off recently?? Id still like to get him signed up but 4 million against 7 million will swing things for Boro. But hopefully the young man goes with his wishes and signs!

Harsh post Davy!!

..Is open the fridge door to a dog (Celtic) and revealed a massive steak but closed the door again then booted the little bassa in the balls and said - No you cant have it but you got close!! Thats all we've done to the mhanks!! Keep believing - WATP

All things considered i agree with Craig, id rather be in our position but its going to be tough. St Mirren wont be the gimme everyone says. We just have to go out there and win some football matches and we'll be champions.

Yeah but I think they will win there last 2 games and Chelsea have a tough trip to Newcastle. If there is a spare 600 quid lying around then its possibly worth investing to get another 200 back

Yip he makes a lot on sense here. I actually dont think there is an agenda or conspiracy against us by the SPL / SFA, I just think those who run it make decisions when they feel like it meaning 1 rule for some and 1 rule for others - however they do this with no common sense or dignity what so ever. So we will just have to get on with it and I hope we turn round with the quadriple and say 'up yours' to the SPL / SFA. I also hope next time they ask for our assistance we tell them no and remind them of this season. Its a must the League cup gets put back to the first half of the season and the league should be expanded to 14 or 16 with less matches meaning weekends off for internationals and re-scheduled matches. But more importantly put a winter break in there too as the pitches have been disgraceful this season.

Yesterday Man Utd were 1/10, now they are 1/3. Im thinking about sticking a fair amount of cash on them.

A few great odds for us today. Outright win with Ladbrokes is 11/4, thats practically 3/1 - great bet IMO. Gers to win: 1-0 = 8/1 2-0 = 16/1 2-1 = 12/1 Good prices again there. Draw HT Rangers FT is 9/1 (which I may have a bit of) Rangers HT Rangers FT is 5/1 Selected first goalscorers: (I like the Novo and Davis odds) Darcheville 8/1 Cousin 9/1 Boyd 9/1 Novo 10/1 Ferguson 10/1 Davis 20/1 Weir 50/1 Rangers to win 1-0 with Novo getting the goal = 60/1

C'mon Rangers!!! Im up early and tempted to go open a few beers now but with 10 hours until K/off I may end up missing the game. But the excitement has kicked in and I cant wait. Yesterday I thought a draw but today Im edging towards us winning this by a goal.

This is just cruel. I had 3 draws: West Ham 2-2 Newcastle Birmingham 2-2 Liverpool Sunderland 3-2 Boro - 91st minute own goal :uzi:

Pennant was superb and too good for Birmingham. I think thats Birmingham down after Fulham came back brilliantly at Man City. Fulham play Birmingham at Craven Cottage next Saturday which should be a great game.

Lets screw Man Utd from winning the title again! We won there last season, can we do it again Steve Bruce and Wigan will lie down last game of the season so hopefully the Hammers go up and get at least a draw.

Yip, McFadden has been lively. Good game at Sunderland v Boro, 2-1 at half time. West Ham 2-2 Newcastle, Hammers 2-0 up aswell. Martins goal was good though.

We'll stick you in the hall of fame at the same time :moon:

I'll second that - fantastic game!! I hope its the same when they meet in the CL final

You want us to make this a sticky SA?

Away to watch this now and il have Spurs v Bolton on the other TV to keep an eye on that. Should be a good game, Liverpool have a decent team out bar there centre midfield.
