Completely agree; I thought Newcastle would be bottom 6 or so this season. Pardew's done a great job, and I never liked him at West Ham. He's turned my opinion of him around.

Muamba's been doing a bit of walking for the first time since the cardiac arrest.
And Pietersen is batting like he knows how.

Yeah it really is an exciting time, I just really hope this isn't a one off and we can keep this standard up (or there abouts) in the next couple of seasons. The only thing I worry about with us is Mike Ashley, yes everything is going well at the minute but I don't think anyone can trust him not to make anymore crazy decisions, don't forget Pardew only got the job after he sacked Hughton for no reason atall.
I understand that financially he has been great for the club and we all appreciate it but the fact remains that he is a business man first and if we start the next season poorly I have no doubt that he would sack Pardew which would put us straight back at step one.

Of course!
Dude, the masters puts me to sleep. I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just all quiet and soothing and you can hear the wind blow and the birds chirping. The last match I watched fully was back in the 90's when Corey Pavin and Greg Norman? where having a battle on the final hole. I know it's a big deal here in the states though.
I stuck 25p on Jason Day. I'm a maniac!
I'm looking forward to it but I don't have Sky. Stream it is.

It's to my understanding that in the UK people go out and get drunk everyday of the week, it's not reserved only for Fridays.
Amen.
Although, I'm a massive hypocrit and will be watching it anyway. Stuck a tenner on Rory and Mahan.
Welcome back Fady!

I don't know if it works overseas, but the masters.com website will live stream Amen Corner, Holes 15 & 16, and a few groups everyday. It's great for me when I'm sitting at my desk all day. I can't wait to get home, relax on my couch with my iPad and watch Masters Coverage and Baseball Coverage all afternoon and night!
I don't think it works in the UK. Normally the BBC get all four days but from last year on, Sky get all four days and BBC get the final two. I'm sure first row will help me out today and tomorrow.
Mad bastard
I stuck some money on it too, on Kaymer and Mahan each way.
Can't see any of our boys winning it.

After last year, I wouldn't be surprised if Rory never wins a green jacket. Though, at the sane time, I wouldn't be surprised if he wins five!

Now that you're back Fady the all important question Chelsea OR Barcelona son? where do your allegiance stands? Your answer will determine whether I treat you as the enemy from here on out or not.
Oh and don't try to weasel out of this one with a vague answer

It's saddening to see him support Barcelona if you support Madrid. At least he's not annoying about it (neither are you). Gotta admit I'm the annoying kind of Madrid supporter on gaf, I get carried away mid Barcelona or Madrid games and just post all kinds of salt induced nonsense that I later regret.

I don't really mind who wins, would be cool if Woods came back to win it. I always wanted Sergio Garcia to win a major, but that doesn't look like it'll ever happen now.
Happy to watch the first two day's highlights on BBC and then follow it more closely over the weekend.
Who is this new lady?
I can't remember any kind of salty comments from you. Try harder next time :0 take a cue from Spanish Wrath
Salt induced nonsense is what it's all about, man.
Just two weeks ago I was calling to sack Pardew. Now he's awesome again.
Who in God's name is in your avatar?
I like to follow all 4 major golf tournaments whenever they're on but it sadly it seems it is not on TV where I live and even if it were it air throughout the night i suppose, so no Masters for me this year. Its just another big sporting event added to the pile which I can't see whilst I'm here. I'll root for Westwood still, but won't be able to see his triumph.

How can you not recognise Audrey Hepburn!?
To be fair it's not the usual kind of picture you see of her.

I remember some weeks back when Arsenal was knocked out of CL by Milan some twitter Chelsea guy was saying Chelsea was the last enlgish team left and you guys were quick to jump on him saying let see what hell say after we play Napoli. Now look where we stands we lasted longer in Europe than all the other English teams.

Copenhagen - Brøndby in 35 min. Sadly the Brøndby fans boycotted the match, so can't even watch them fight and act like idiots while the match is sucking. We got way too many injuries so might lose our first game at home to them in 8 years.
COME ON COPENHAGEEEEEEEEN

Lung, you're a true fan. I respect that. Your team is garbage yet you support them. Just like I always rooted for the team that played the Harlem Globetrotters every night. That's real love.

We have won the league 5 out of the last 7 years, if anything Bjaelke would call me a glory hunter.
(also we were in the knockout stages of CL last year and we did well a few years ago beating United, Ajax and Celtic in champions league, not complete shit, just right now!)
That is my defence also, kinda looked like Rihanna also. but not really.

I was included in Fadys post, I even got the GIF. We're not worthy. I feel proud.
Seriously though, glad you finally posted Fady(which I pronounce: Fah-Dee)

Not really, well you haven't annoyed me at least. The annoying Madridistas are the ones that watch all our games and comment on every single call, when we win a foul 'LOL how is that a foul?! WTF' when the other team doesnt win a foul 'WTF Pooyol punched him in the face in front of the ref and it gets ignored, oh Barca' - Those are the annoying guys. Especially when they overexaggerate everything and claim conspiracys lol(but thats just funny, not that annoying)
