Monroe Transfer

When has Pardew ever singled out anyone as a scapegoat?

Half the time he's been on the pitch he's not shown much though. Attacking he may be, but if he's not showing enough then I can understand why he's not been used much. He's been used more now out of neccessity too, although he should have started ahead of Perch yesterday.

Yup. Just happy with the win myself. We won this must win game, I'll not worry about the performance.

By all (neutral) accounts he just wanted it more than the Reading player.

SHOLAAAAAAA

We're woeful without Cabaye and Ben Arfa. Not to say we're miles better with them.

What's Tiote's cards to games ratio now?

If at first you don't succeed, try again?

I'm 40 and live on Tyneside. I'm an actor pro boxing promoter and I edit Toon Talk Fanzine. I'm director of Wraith Promotions.

If we sign 3 decent players in Jan I'll allow myself to be renamed to something even worse than Monroe Transfer.

When they weren't made up by 'SPORTSMAIL REPORTER'.

Think of something more original next time, Tom just used that line on you.

Agreed. Days of getting over-excited about possible transfers are beyond me now, I'll start acting like a child at Xmas when I see the new signing (if he's any good) holding a black and white shirt up in a PR shot at Benton/SJP. We're always involved in a laughable amount of speculation/rumours when it comes to transfers, naturally only a minimal amount of it actually comes to fruition. That and you get the odd pleasant surprise like Cisse last January. Similarly it's not worth getting angered by outgoings till the deal is done.

I'd never want us to lose under any circumstance. What if 1/3 points was the difference between us making Europe again/avoiding relegation come the end of the season (regardless of who the manager is?).

To be fair you clearly LOVE (caps for emphasis) the attention your WUMming gets on here. Now that's childish.

In response to questions by journos that lead to said whining.

One thing I like about Remy is that he can also play out wide.

Apparently there's one on at SJP for the next few weeks, starting this Saturday at 3pm.

WAH

Carver beat Blackburn 3-0 man. Give him the job.

Getting the impression Ranger now idolises him.

One thing we've got this season over 08-09 is relative stability. The club was an absolute mess the relegation season, from top to bottom. Laughing stock of the league, with good reason.

Off topic, but I think that says a lot about the current substandard quality of the England national team.
