All the plastic match thread starters turned up for Wembley and have now disappeared. We have had one link to the Newcastle Board which has gone on to the next page.

So here it is.

10 FACTS ABOUT NEWCASTLE

1. Geordies are so called because Newcastle was the only City in the North East that supported George II and closed its gates to the Jacobite army during the rebellion of 1745

2. The Tyne Bridge was designed to look like Sydney Harbour Bridge

3. Newcastle Brown Ale is 100% piss <cheers>

4. “The Angel of the North” stands at 65 feet high (20 metres) with a wingspan of 175 feet (54 metres) wide
In 1849, Robert Stephenson's High Level Bridge of 1849 opened and it was the first road/rail bridge in the world.

5. The first public demonstration of the light-bulb was given by its inventor Joseph Swan on 3rd Feb 1879 at a lecture theatre in Newcastle, therefore the first public building in the world lit by electric light

6. The world’s first organised dog show was held in Newcastle on June 28 1859. :emoticon-0137-clapp

7. In 2001 the city of Newcastle had a population of 189,863

8. Music - Bands/Artists to come out of Newcastle include The Animals, Sting, Bryan Ferry and Dire Straits. Lindisfarne have strong conections to Tyneside and their most famous song “Fog on the Tyne” was covered by Gazza in 1990 :emoticon-0159-music

9. Newcastles Metro was Britain's first urban light rail transit system

10. By trade, Sir Bobby Robson was an electrician before he became a professional footballer with Fulham
 
2-0 without a doubt, oops i am a plastic according to one fellow jack on the bradford board, centre back with ash - ki or bartley? stick with ki imo, dont break whats not broken, michu up front?? prefer him as a AM but other options?
 
I didn't half read some total bollocks on here after the cup final. They're lucky I've been pissed all week and couldn't be bothered to answer some of them. Nice to get back to league action and against a proper team with proper fans too.

2-1 to us and one big party off the field I reckon
 
Good evening lads and lasses, glad to see a match thread I thought you'd forgotten about playing us on Saturday. :D
I've just posted on our match thread which has been going for several days, but you have had other things to discuss, hope the celebrations have went well for you!

Any news on injuries? I looked on the Swansea City club website a couple of days ago, couldn't see anything, I'm particularly interested in Vorm, will he be playing?
I'm expecting a tough game, and as I said on our thread, your supporters are really going to be up for it, I'd be over the moon to get a point.

I am not an expert Beatski - but this may be of interest http://www.ianhardy.net/tynebridge.php <ok>

Cheryl Cole?? She's far too young for our lot <laugh>

NB - I note that you didn't argue that Newcie Brown isn't 100% piss <laugh>

there wasnt an argument to make <whistle>

also, damn you and your correct evidence, shattering everything i thought was true. Although now I'm going to say it was based on the hell gate bridge because it sounds so much cooler
 
if you google my real name you get a few about me and tons about a member of AC/DC and one of my crowning moments was climbing to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge carrying a bottle of Newcaste brown singing House of the Rising Sun
OK lied about the Brown Ale and the song - but when I was in New Orleans I did visit the 'reputed' House of The Rising Sun - Animals my most favourite band!! Too many coincidences!!
Swansea 2 newcastle 1
 
Whoever plays I hope they have got over Sunday or we could see a display of Liverpool proportions.
CB not Ki, please. We don't need to play out of position .. difficult to judge his performance v Bradford but he did manage to get himself booked.
What happened with Bartley not being in the squad last week?

Monk for me, as good as Ash is he does get pulled about when he's got two less experienced players either side of him
