Monroe Transfer

So glad we didn't get him.

Then again with my username perhaps I shouldn't laugh.

Like Chez says, let's just ger Obertan off already. For anyone. Even Rob Elliot.

Just seen this on the BBC livetext Yeah... or it might be something to do with our side being ravaged by injuries.

Get in Demba! What a ball in.

Yup. Woeful.

'Mike Malarkey' is the linesman

Saw it coming a mile off. Small club with that music playing after a goal.

Woeful corner.

Obertan is useless from a defensive point of view.

Perch scaring me.

I didn't say it was something that would ever happen (it's not something managers do and quite rightly). It just bemuses me a little - he can't be that bad, surely. Done alright for us in the past, for the reserves and for his national team. Can play CB and is tall. Are Simpson and Perch really better central defenders?

And I'm sorry but surely Vuckic is more of a threat than Lovenkrands and Smith?

Doesn't even make the bench again. Wish Pardew would just come out and say that his career is over at NUFC.

See ya later then Tamas. Woefully short central defence. And isn't Santon's best position RB? In that case why on earth would he swap Ryan Taylor over? Even Norwich are going to have a field day against our right side. I bet one of our defenders will go off and it'll be little Shane Ferguson to fill the gap. Norwich 2-1 Newcastle

It was a fair criticism alluding to all the FIFA-style tricks Luiz makes. Instead of putting up with it, he's gone over-defensive and made himself look a bit foolish. Those aren't the only things he's said against Neville. Tired of his persecution complex.

Yes he is. I'm hardly accusing him of abuse now am I? I only put that up as it was yet another Villas-Boas article I notived whilst trawling Skysports.com. Whether he was offside or not doesn't really matter. It's a different issue. If he was, it was tight and no-one else seems to have picked up on it.

Then had a go at Pardew. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/7368250/AVB-annoyed-by-Pardew

http://twitter.com/#!/McNallyMirror He says he's off if the money is right. That goes for all players though doesn't it? So nothing new at all really.

Losing it. http://www1.skysport...elebration-rule http://news.bbc.co.u...ll/16122746.stm

He has still to answer this question. Going to tell us then Leazes?? Why do you care so much?

Simpson Santon Kadar Ryan Taylor Vuckic Gosling Cabaye Gutierrez Ben Arfa Ba

That Smith was starting I think, and then I searched his name on Twtitter to find the tweet (some guy on Facebook isn't a trustworthy source you see) and came across this:

All I want is: - Don't risk Colo if he's not 100%. We don't need another long term injury. - Give Abeid, Vuckic, Gosling and that man Kadar a chance. - Don't play Smith unless he really is the best option. Pardew seems to favour experience which I can understand but sometimes you need to give youth a chance.
