I'd go: Elliott Santon Mbiwa Williamson Haidara Anita Tiote Bigi Ben Arfa Cisse Sammy Give Sissoko and Gouffran a rest, dont start Shola as he brings nowt, give Bigi a game as we need to give him minutes if he's to get better. (One I'd rather have out on loan that sitting in reserves) Sammy's in the same category. Cisse needs a start and will hopefully get a goal to re-ignite himself. We should beat these with or without our main players.

Even before Pardew came I cant really remember anyone who's went on to do better. The drink might be clouding my memory here like.

People still trying to find the littlest negatives in a huge win for us. Cheer up and enjoy the positives man. Jesus fookin' wept.

Last year didnt they do a trial draw, then when the proper draw was made all ties were the same as the trial one and you could have got 1,000,000/1 odds on it happening if you backed it.

If he concentrated on doing his job and just defending then he might still be in the team but he tries to play up to this "Geordie Lad" persona on the pitch and in the media which pisses is off. Slapping elbows on people, dancing infront of the opposition keeper and slating Mackems isn't what he should be concentrating on. He should be looking to win games and keep a clean sheet above anything else. That's why Williamson is better than him, he doesn't mess about, he knows himself he's limited, like we all do, but he doesnt do anything stupid either.

Youre sad as fuck

Can see AVB being gone by midnight! He might not even make it until then.

Assassins Creed 4 is meant to be awesome and has alot of good ratings. Cant wait to play it, I love the series although 1 and 3 were terrible tbh.

Played it for the first time on a friends PS4 yesterday and the Goalkeepers are terrible, they watch everything go past them and never claim easy crosses a yard in front of them. I can tell I'm gonna be getting FIFA Rage once I start playing it alot .

I'd maybe push Gouffran up top with Remy, drop Shola and give Santon the freedom of the left hand side with Haidara behind him. Might be worth a try especially with us facing Palace next in a game we SHOULD win.

How can it possibly be a good thing?

Thats what happens to me, they lob through ball it and their striker has already made a run for the ball while my CB is still inactive because when I press LB/L1 it cycles through the rest of my team.

I dont even bother playing it anymore, its lost the fun, addicting aspect it used to have, I just play casually against my mates. I'm hoping when I get my PS4 that I might get some luck in packs (which I never ever got on 360, 3 years on UT and the best player I got was TOTW Higuain on FIFA 11, since then I've had no TOTW players or anyone that goes for over 15k, even when I get them I only get 1 every 6 month or so) and for the gameplay to be a little more enjoyable, instead of every person I play constantly playing lofted through balls.

Theyve gotta pay for the upcoming transfer window and new training complex somehow..

No its not football, when EVERY lofted through ball catches your defender out as he watches it over his head, when every cross finds its way to an attackers head and through balls from their CB can cut your midfield and defenders to pieces everytime. At least make it unpredictable.

FFS! You would think before they released the game they'd have realised the gameplay on it is as shyte as ever. Sick of coming up against the same tactics all the time, it just makes the game shit. I wish Pro Evo would step up their game to at least give FIFA a kick up the arse it needs.

Possibly, my other CB Harry Maguire scored 6-7 too so it's likely theres a bug. I just put it down to my Set-Piece masterclass' though

Is the gameplay much different on the PS4? Or is it the same as last gen versions where lofted through balls, crosses, corners, headers and random through balls from CB to strikers are totally overpowered and have a huge success rate?

Just finished my 7th season on it with the Toon and won the league for the 2nd year running. Kurt Zouma my CB was my 3rd top scorer with 13 goals including a hat-trick in one game against Swansea.

It was nice to see the Man U fans hold silence for 90 minutes for Nelson Mandela

It feels weird actually having a pundit who will try to talk about us when all the other pundits want to talk about who we're playing. Long live Daveed as a pundit.

He hasnt got the mentality to just do a job defensively. He'd much rather clatter someone or take a risk instead of just concentrating on doing his job
