How exactly can so many people say Perch has been one of our worst performers this campaign? He has played about 5 games and did very little wrong in any of those games for me. Chelsea, came on and did a job against Drogba, who was then taken off and replaced by Torres. He then did a job on Torres and the last 2 goals cant be blamed on Perch. Norwich just played long ball to their huge strikers and they scored 3 headers and a fluke scramble. Even Colo wouldnt have been able to cope with Holt or Morrison in the air, we needed Williamson or Taylor to be playing. Swansea we kept a clean sheet so surely he cant have been shite there. WBA Colo was outpaced for their first goal, their second goal was just piss poor as a collective defensive display, should have been cleared and their 3rd goal Id say maybe Perch could have blocked Scharners shot, but it was taken so quickly there was little time to gain balance/composure. Im not a huge fan of Perch and dont want him in the first team, but if he has to come in to do a job when we have injuries people need to get off his back and give him a chance. The amount of grief he gets around where I sit for no reason at all is actually pathetic. If the question was 'worst players in our squad' then aye he'd probably be up there, but this season? Give owa

Tyne Bridge, St James', river Tyne, Magpie, Black n White, football. These are things associated with Newcastle so maybe an image depicting him with some of these?

You should put more options on it tbh. I dont like MA or DL, cant stand them but I do agree with the way they are going about their buying of players. So far I have no problems with them shipping out Carroll, Barton or Nolan and bringing in Tiote, Cabaye, Marveux, Ba, Ben Arfa etc. They are trying to run the club properly I think, its just a shame they are complete and utter bellends (i.e. Sports Direct Arena etc...) (These are my feelings until they sell Coloccini in Jan!!)

Aye I meant Amdy Faye not Abdoulaye. I also liked Domi as well as Goma but they wouldnt get into my first team for best XI.

When both in their prime Rob Lee would walk into the team ahead of Dyer any day, that cant be argued really. But as the question was for a team from 2000, I dont think Rob Lee in the last season and a half at NUFC offered more than Dyer did in his time from 2000 onwards. A NUFC team from 1990 onwards would certainly see Lee in CM

Did Perez ever play a senior game for us? Don't think he did I wasnt sure but couldnt think of anybody else that deserved to be worst keeper! Harper, Given, Krul. I think John Karelse made more than one senior appearance didnt he? If so I'll replace Perez with Karelse. I was thinking Rob Lee but thought his best years were late 90's for us.

Worst NUFC XI since 2000: .............................Perez............................ Carr.......Boumsong....Cacapa...Babayaro Geremi.........Faye.......Gavilan.....Cordone .....................Xisco............Andersson Again I dont think Carr was particularly crap all the time but I cant think of anyone worsee since 2000. Cordone wasnt a left winger but he had to fit in somewhere and couldnt think of another one who was worse. Any improvements on my team?

Some fair points. I was torn between Enrique and Bernard but I wa always a big fan of Bernard and thought Enrique only had one good season in prem, Bernard had a few more. Also agree with the Tiote remarks, I was tempted but again think over a sustained period of time Dyer and Speed were class acts in the middle and in a few years time I can see Cabaye, Tiote, Ben Arfa, Krul etc being in that team if they keep up their form. How about another angle on this, what is the worst XI you have witnessed since 2000 to grace the NUFC top?

I was having a discussion with my mate at work yesterday and I was amazed at how different our views are on Newcastles best XI over the last 10 seasons. I was wondering what others thought our best XI would be and how many of the current crop would appear in this team? Mine was as follows: ...........................Given.................................. Beye.....Coloccini......Woodgate.......Bernard Solano.......Speed........Dyer..............Robert ..................Shearer.....Bellamy..................... Dyer is probably a controversial choice but I was a huge fan of his and was very exciting to watch when on form. How do other peoples teams differ to this? Iv been racking my brain for hours now and have a feeling Im missing one or two players but cant think of who...

Watching that video of Given was hard to watch and brought everything into perspective about how liked he was amongst his fellow pro's and what a great guy he really was! Savage on BBCnews was also hard to watch when he couldnt speak by the end of it. Sad day for NUFC and football. RIP Gary Speed

The lad is having the time of his life and long may it continue! Harper will be kicking himself that Shay then Tim came along but looking forward he looks world class.

Usually would be very sceptical over this signing, but with Graham Carr's strike rate at the minute Im quite looking forward to him if he gets given time by the fans! Cabaye, Tiote, Marveux didnt get me excited until they got on the pitch and showed what they can do, hopefully he will be the same.

Simple one for the stadium name change: Tune: Peter Lovenkrands, signed on a free... St James' Park St James' Park Fuck off Ashley, it will always be St James' Park

Thats actually quite a good idea. Im not doing the signs on the East Stand though or the Gallowgate roof!

Agreed. He ran the show in the first half in my opinion and looked solid under pressure. Second half he dug deep like the rest of the lads and showed his worth.

Damn!! Why didnt I think of that

Haha thanks for that mate! Those jokes never get old

Wasnt sure where to put this, if its in the wrong place could an admin or mod please move it to the correct place. Thanks. Tune: Keep St George in my Heart Hes the beast in midfield Cheick Tiote Hes gonna win the ball all day You'll never get past Cheick Tiote And hes gonna score again someday Cheick Tiote Cheick Tiote Keep him Geordie til his dyin' day Tune: you are my sunshine You are my Yohan, my Yohan Cabaye You make me happy, when skies are grey You'll never know just, how much I love you. So please dont take my Cabaye away Tune: Milner goes marching down the wing When Jonas goes marching down the wing, Jonas, Jonas He gets the ball the Geordies sing Jonas, Jonas When Jonas goes marching down the wing, He gets the ball and were gonna win We all know that hes never gonna score...

Doumbia or Moussa Sow would be my options for striker (more wish list than realistic) As people have said Ridgewell would be decent cover for defence and wouldnt cost the earth. Maybe try a swap deal with Ranger!? I dont see the need to strengthen the midfield. In Tiote, Cabaye, Guthrie and Gosling we have enough cover for CM with Vuckic able to play there as well if needed. Gutierrez, Marveux and Obertan should have the wings covered, with Gosling able to play RW if needed. Break the bank for Doumbia and get Ridgewell on a cheap and Id be a very happy man.

I fancy us to nick a tight game 2-1. Everton certainly wont be coming for the draw and will push on I think to get the 3 points and this is definitely a potential banana skin fixture. But, as confidence is high I dont see us losing this game, maybe a draw will suffice for me, they do have quality in their team but if we can nick an early goal (first 10-15mins) I can see us going on from there. Great thing about monday showed how we have different ways to win matches. It showed Stoke have Plan A and that is the 'bombardment' plan. After that fails they are screwed. We can pass the ball and keep possession and wait for openings or we can get in their faces, pressure them into mistakes and hit them on the counter. The other pleasing thing for me on monday was how solid and brave we were from their throws. Even Krul and Raylor were throwing themselves into the long balls when I would usually have expected them to maybe shy away and try and let the likes of Saylor, Ba and Best deal with them.
