Well, considering the respective league positions of Newcastle United and Sunderland, I think our season can be deemed an overwhelming success :D

I think it's daft considering that the refs are hardly claiming to be perfect. They are just never, ever going to see everything from a perfect angle. If retrospective bans aren't an option, perhaps we need video replays for the refs. I'm still coming across people who claim that winning the...

I wish Ferguson would keep his mouth shut and stay out of the affair. There's no need for his comments... He criticises Chelsea before claiming that he doesn't like to talk about other clubs and trying to give the impression that he has some kind of moral superiority :rolleyes:

Which Ashley didn't seem to realise; or he was keeping his cash to himself. And now it's too late :roll:. Unless Simpson's injury is just a strain (although he looked in considerable pain, so perhaps not) we're left with a choice between and left-footed central midfielder, a winger and an...

That sounds like a good idea, seeing as engineer's trains can be quite short. Perhaps I could include a minimum of infrastructure, so the yard doesn't have to change between eras. I would love to do that (seeing as I'm a Geordie :D) but I'm an inexperienced modeller, and I severely doubt I...

Thanks for the advice. :) I think I'll put one feed on the right-hand side of the loop, and split the other between two sidings in the yard via a DPDT switch, as suggested.

I have cleared out a lot of my bedroom and now have a shelf measuring 4'8" x 9". I was hoping to build a small OO gauge scene on it (non-operational, since inserting a fiddle yard would be nigh on impossible.) So I was thinking of doing a carefully detailed urban thing, a single line with part...

Newcastle lost 4-1 against Cardiff... with their first-choice back four, keeper and holding midefielder in the starting line-up. This is not a good sign, considering we are soon to begin a European campaign.

cheers :)

I think he only did well the first time becasue we had Barton to aim crosses at him. We play a better passing game now, with the likes of Cabaye, and I don't think Carroll would fit in. I absolutely agree, although I wouldn't actually mind having him back for a year free, without an...

banbury?

Ah, je n'ai pas ca su. Merci!

It just occured to me - having already ballasted a fair bit of my layout :evil: - that I haven't got a clue where I need to put wires in. I have attached a plan to this message. I have two controllers... I was hoping one could control the loop, station run around loop and engineer's yard. But...

eLaqXOeNlDA Would love to have a go at this on a percussion rig...

Perhaps, slowly but surely, English football would move towards the superior passing style of play often seen in Europe. It wouldn't be before time! :roll:
