Zog to finally get out of this hopeless LB and move up? We might have some actual action in midfield now.

Taylor, fucking woeful. Rubbish tbh... whoever put that header straight in the path of Petrov with 50 yards to run into is to blame. Yeah, that's who I was referring to. Abysmal header, what was he doing?

Truly feeble defending by whoever that was, I didn't see. Feeble. We may as well just put the ball into the net ourselves if that shite is how our defence is going to play.

Taking a hammering since their goal. Need to get in still level at halftime I think.

We've done it! GOAAAAAAAL! Martins with a perfectly controlled goal, so much for "no first touch." Flawless.

Better to be good sports whenever possible tbh although they obviously were not putting it out for us.

Gormless defending by Taylor there. We need to tighten up, seems they've miles of space.

Aye, that was some attack but Shay was equal. Harper might not have been able to do that.

Given starting, not before time.

Wouldn't suprise me, there's been persistent rumours he's a horny little racist. FYP. Him being a Muslim isn't a rumour and it has nothing to do with the other three.

HT: 0-1 FT: 0-1 FS: M-A-R-T-I-N-S bitches. Bonus: 5 I can just see us sneaking this one. We'll burst City's bubble like Derby burst ours, I think.

He means me. Must admit I didn't see the game, it wasn't being streamed. Sounds pretty dire. Surely none of us were really expecting to win this one, though?

I quite like it tbh.

Stick to the NFL and leave the football talk to people who know what they're on about, k thanks. You're a moron, Gemmill, and maybe you should learn a thing or two about American football because God knows you don't know shit about the English version. http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?showtopic=16068 Owen needs surgery, he's limping off after 50 mins every game now, but he wants to delay it so he can play for England? When are you going to get it? THIS GUY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT NUFC. He must be dropped for the City game and I doubt there's anyone with a grain of sense who'll disagree with that. He isn't fit, he doesn't care, and he is not the right choice for this club any longer if he ever was! The problem I have with you, you clueless tit, is that you think that a) Martins is a better player than Owen, and that Owen doesn't try when he plays. He should be dropped because he's not fit at the minute. Not because he doesn't try or because Martins is better than him - both statements are bollocks, yet you persist with them. Keep up with the "you don't know shit", "the whole nine yards" American bollocks speak though. It's entertaining. There's no point in discussing anything with you. Point A is hopeless. You have a plainly irrational hate for Martins. If Martins scores 50 this season you'll still say he's a know-nothing speedy retard with no first touch. Point B equally so. The evidence is clear. Owen only wants to play for England and be some kind of big national hero. As for NUFC, we're paying the bills and THAT IS IT for him. If Man U comes along in January and says "here's 1.5x the already ridiculous rate the Toon is paying you" he'll be off like a flash. Hell, if Man City came along and offered that kind of money he'd go. I have said a million times and it continues to be true: Owen doesn't play for this club, he makes cameo appearances. He's like the occasional celebrity appearances in TV shows, he comes on long enough to get the round of applause, has his thirty seconds on air, and then it's off to the "main event" again. The sooner we're rid of him, the better. I hope after he's done saving England's qualifying battle he goes under the knife and is out for the rest of the goddamn season, because it can only be good news for Newcastle United. Either that or he goes out now while Martins is fit and ready to play and comes back ready to actually put in the effort for us. ...but, it'll more likely be a long recovery that finally ends in March, at which point he comes back a savio(u)r, scores a few, is the talk of the Toon, and buggers off to Man U in June. He doesn't care about this club. I wish the club would return the favo(u)r. You pick all that up from the odd televised game? Impressive. You haven't got a clue what you're talking about - anyone that can come out with "the sooner we're rid of him, the better" in reference to Michael Owen.....seriously, do you expect me to take anything you say about football seriously after reading that? And you have the fucking nerve to tell me that I don't have a clue about the game?! You're talking complete shite about a game you know nothing about mate. Either that or you have a hatred of Michael Owen every bit as irrational as you claim mine is for Martins. Here's the 411, buddy. Owen is frickin AWESOME when he's in the zone. I'm gonna go the whole 9 yards here and say he's our MVP when he's fully fit. You're a goddamm horse's ass if you think otherwise. I pay to watch every NUFC game, so no matter what your views on my views are, I'll thank you not to question my support for the Toon. It's the last refuge of every would-be internet pundit - when in doubt, just accuse your opponent of being a plastic fan. So piss off, yeah? Just because I live in the States doesn't mean I can't be a real fan. All I have left to say to someone as clearly deluded as you is this: wait and see how much Owen contributes to this club and how much Martins contributes to this club. This is just counting this year. I'm not counting last year, when Martins's goals saved us from relegation and Owen was - oh, what was it? - injured all season. It's easy for you to say Owen is the MVP "when he's fully fit." But that hasn't happened in ages. Come to terms with reality - he's been knackered for almost all of his time on Tyneside and he's knackered again now, so divvent give me that load of cobblers, ye daft sod, Ah'm nae fool and Ah'm nae Texan either like, alreet? p.s. nobody really says "horse's ass" over here any longer. the rest was good though, I admit.

Good win, sends us up to 4th however fleetingly. In other games, Villa winning 2-0 against Everton and Pompey have taken the lead against Rovers.

In all honesty, absolutely horrifying miss by Martins, should've sent the cockney bastards back to London on the wrong end of a 4-1.

He never was an assist man. He had a good cross, where Upson saved West Ham from a goal. No need to get on his back, especially when we are winning. More than anything when we are winning we can't overlook our failings, otherwise we get on a huge high and come crashing back down like we did on Mon. Owen needs to stop starting, I think this should be plain by now after Monday and now today's game.

Missed all 4 goals so far the neet. Pretty terrible. On the plus side, the Zog strikes again. Look who's provider - Martins. Look who didn't do FA - Owen.

Here comes a double red for Cattermole and Leadbitter, the sad bastards. EDIT: Ref's decided to be lenient, both of them off lucky. Yellows for brawling.

I flicked over to see a Cardiff player (i think) out cold. What happened? a head collision? I thought they said it was his knee at first but he was out for the night. Preston striker crashed into him as he was scoring the equalizer. Wednesday finally winning a game but only at half-time, plenty of time for it all to go wrong...

How do you want to see it end?

Never looked like caring for us, we weren't sad to see the back of you, Luque. Crash and burn at your new club too, you worthless waste of space. ...that said, Roeder was a moron not to select him over dross like Pattison.

Clear red to be honest, shameless. Deserves a suspension.
