  1. Sold or not, we'll sorely miss both Dembas in January/February 2013.

     

    Hope we can get Ameobi/Best/Lovenkrands/Ranger off the books and bring in another good striker as competition.

     

    To be fair, Shola has been a tidy sub in recent games. i wouldn't get rid if we continue utilising him in that role. Never would start him though....

  2. I always thought if one of the Manchester clubs won the Europa, it would open up another league position spot as they won't be defending their title due to Champions League commitments. This effectively meant 6th place was up for grabs and if Liverpool leapfrogged us into 6th and we stay 7th, then 7th place was also up as Liverpool already have Europa League secured. Am I wrong in thinking that?

     

    Now we have to get 5th and I can't see us over taking Chelsea.

  3. I thought we were lucky to be 2-0 up in the first half. Wolves totally dominated midfield. I had to double check that Cabaye and Tiote were back in the team. What is this latest tactic we have of giving them all the time on the ball they need and not closing them down? Last 3 or 4 games i have seen this from us and its mind boggling. Another thing I have started to notice, do all our players suddenly think they are Messi and think they can take on everyone, or have they ever heard of passing? That and hoofing it anywhere without looking is also becoming infuriating. Pardew and the team got what they deserved today.

  4. We threw this game for a reason, the same way we did against Liverpool. There is corruption in football, nobody can deny but sometimes its more obvious.

    Are you on glue? That's your worse post since you spat the dummy out in support of Deano.

     

    That actually has to be a contender for worst post on the board.

     

    Thanks, I look forward to receiving my award. No glue, just a few Newcastle Brown's.

  5. I'm watching on French C+ and the French commentator is saying "What do Newcastle expect if they are always 20 kilometers away from Tottenham". He is right, why are we not even attempting to tackle them? Its like the Liverpool game, we are showing them far too much respect. Its embarrassing. Amateur hour this.

  6. I thought this deserved its own thread. He will never set the world alight but I have to admit that when he has come on this season, he hasn't done much wrong and has looked fairly solid. Fair play to the lad. Certainly has surprised me and I don't have that negative feeling when he comes on now.

  7. I agree Perch did OK today. Playing along side Colo, he seemed a bit more confident. Agreed he didn't have a whole lot to do, but when he did have the ball or needed to put in a tackle or defend, he did it. Credit where its due. Not getting too excited though. Didn't Obertan have at least one decent game with us at some point?!

  8. Agree about best, Santon and Ba having a great game. We should have finished the game off first half. It feels as bad as a loss this. The only reason Barfa isn't playing must be a fall out with Pardew. There is no logical explanation otherwise. Something has happened behind closed doors. You could see the look of amazement on Ben Arfa's face as Vidic and Sammiobi were coming on. He either needs to resolve whatever is wrong with him and Pardew or just get out of this soap opera club. This is the sort of bullshit that happens only at Newcastle.

     

    He may have a knock?

     

     

    If he is injured, what is he doing on the bench? Even by the look of amazement on his own face, there is nothing wrong with him.

  10. Ben Arfa and Santon both know the crack; don't fuck with something that's working. Bleeding Ben Arfa in until he gets back to full fitness is the important thing. Would you have started him as soon as he was fit like?

     

    Totally fair point, but if the team keep performing like this (and i'm not suggesting for one minute they do) but does that mean Ben Arfa doesn't get a start over Best? Ba obviously loves playing with Best but who knows how much better Ba could be with Ben Arfa...? I imagine Pardew knows what he is doing. I can't fault him so far to be honest, i just would love to se our main man play more often.

  11. A lot of reports saying Sky had to turn the volume down with Stoke's anti-Ba chant.

     

    Maybe they did say 'monkey'?

     

    Hmmmm.. That's what I heard. But my soud quality wasn't perfect so who knows. I know it won't be the last we hear about it if that is the case. Dirty thugs.

     

    From what I heard, they didn't say Monkey. All I heard was "Demba Ba, is a wanker". Unless Sky did turn down other chants I didn't hear.
