Amazing how none of the Mackems I've talked to since wanted him in the first place. I must have imagined all those T-shirts and screensavers after the 3 nowt.

Carlsberg don't do "bookmarked", but if they did....

Looking for the debut bounce again? Fuckers.

knew the bastards would get one back and fuck the fantasy football.

Not having that. He changed the system off the back of an injury. It would be extremely fortuitous if that change was what he had been planning anyway. If he's decided on 4-3-3, that should be his formation for the majority of the time, changing personnel in that system when players are having off days, or when forced by injury. Where there is a need to change the shape, then that should really be a Bobby Robson special. 2 or 3 changes at once, implement the new approach in one fell swoop. The players looked completely lost as to who was playing where and how, as Pardew drip fed a striker for a midfielder, then a midfielder for a striker, then a midfielder for a RB.

No, I would have brought Tiote on when Cabaye was forced off. Kept the same shape but without cabaye's useless efforts into the box. I was praising Pardew for his like for like changes against Villa. There wasn't a single like for like change yesterday. We changed our shape or switched the roles players had started in every 10 minutes in the last half hour.

It wasn't just the last 15 minutes.... Every single ball Cabaye played into the box was a 30 yarder. When your accuracy is one in eight you should either try something else or practice more.

No, I think Pardew is to blame for being weak and not making the change we needed for fear of accusations he was playing for a point at home.

That's what I meant about being scared of the home support. Even as Man City lashed 4 past us, we never resorted to lumping balls into a box with zero to 1 striker competing with 4 defenders with a foot on him in height. At home the moaning, the booing, the "shooooot" whenever a well organised, defensive opposing team actually turns up, it's depressing to listen to. Funny yesterday when Tiote got a "shoooot!!" and half a beat later a "Nooooo!!" from those that realise what a waste that would be.

Leaving the stadium people were complaining that we were going down with the mackems. THAT Is an overreaction.

He's scared of the home crowd. Tiote should have come on for cabaye. Keep the same shape. We had no midfield and resorted to hoofing.

Why is dropbox shit?

SMS pop up?

Not sure if that's android or the network provider necessarily. I know my old contract HTC was full of shite I couldn't get rid of. My nexus only has the Google APPS. Cyanogen just got a multi million investment too so it should be available as a simple download/ install soon, rather than the convoluted process it currently is. When you have that it's strictly bare bones.

Think I will watch Big Stan.

Gun nut challenges the assertion of a cartoonist that guns are penis extensions....by challenging him to a contest of penis measurement with a gun as the 'prize'. https://medium.com/p/4559beaa706d

Someone distract him with a magic eye drawing.

I worked on the doorstep of SJP (St James' House) when we signed him. I wasn't enthusiastic enough to cross the road to welcome him. Might be why he never arsed himself for me either.

All we know for a fact with NUFC is they do the unexpected. Taking my nephew to his first game, so hope we don't score too many. That sort of thing can build expectations unreasonably.

I'll be busting out my easiest start stats in a few weeks. Exciting times.

Looks to me like the war versus domestic deaths bar chart is about right... http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2013/jan/18/mark-shields/pbs-commentator-mark-shields-says-more-killed-guns/ and it's the murders per 100k that's being undersold at just over 3. Currently the murder rate per 100k in the US is higher. 4-6 the last couple of years but peaked at 7-9 in the 90s. http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/homicide.html ...has the stats up to 2013.
