Rafa's said that Alonso's only suffered bruising and should be ok for next weekend. Masch and Torres should be ok too

edit: and Barton was the 6th player to be sent off for a challenge on Alonso.

Cheers Baz, doesn't really seem to be much of a difference between positions then. The team that finishes bottom and is relegated gets £29.1m and top spot gets roughly £39m. What were the details for the most recent changes taking place next season or thereafter?

That's just prize money. Clubs also get x amount per game that is shown on Sky/Setanta so the bigger clubs end up with quite a bit more money.

Not sure how it will be broken down but the tv deal from 2010-2013 is worth roughly £100m more than the current one (£1.8bn).

Still buzzing after winning £120 this weekend on football accumulators.

Then i got home and found out my brother won £400

Yet Alonso is the only player to hold the record of getting a player sent off by kicking them.

Get over it.

 

[BaZ87]

Maybe Fat Frank shouldn't have given an interview talking up his 'rivalry' with Alonso the day of the game

 

[Gustov]

Get over it.

How about no? Won't don't you try getting over yourself?

For all i care the more players that put in horrific tackles on Alonso the better, he's a disgrace of a professional.

I think he still cries himself to sleep thinking about that defeat. Must hurt, must hurt

Oh, before I forget, Gerrard > Lampard

Yes, being in the FA Cup Final and the Champions League semi final really gets me down.

Alan Shearer - surely the worst caretaker since Ian Huntley ?

Can't blame him too much. He's working with utter dog ****.

Judging by shearers comments here...

Barton is just about finished I think. Nice to see a manager come out and actually have a pop at their own player for being a ****.

Newcastle need to go down to regroup, they need to go down, offload all the garbage players they have, get some youth in, get some solid dependable workman like players in the spine of the team and build the "club" back up.

Staying up will do no good, it will just prolong the inevitable.

*Edit* think about it, they have no debt, they will be able to slash the wage bill, and can put all the right things in place to start over again in the prem.

Yeah I totally agree with that blackburn did similar when they went down. Newcastle will come straight back up and be a better side for it.

hahaha. you are joking right? they have more debt than RBS.
