Why is Bramble playing? He looks like such shit it's unbelievable. Dropped headers. Pathetic long passes that go for goal kicks. Awful clearances. About the disallowed goal for Villa - in all fairness, it appeared to be a goal, but it's important to note that it came off a corner which should not have been given, as the ball came off the crossbar and not Steve Taylor's head on the previous play. What goes around comes around. EDIT: Bramble, get off. We know Young is good, but he doesn't have to be if you just let him pass.

I take it you don't rate the lad then ? There was a lot, and I mean a lot, of hype over him over here in the Yoo Ess Eh before the World Cup. To say he fell short of expectations would be a bit of an understatement. p.s. that doesn't mean it's not a move in the right direction glenn. onyewu is shit, but at least you're getting defenders in on loan. so keep right on with that

He's shite. Goddamn it! It's Monday morning, the transfer window expires in two days, and this clown is the best Roeder could come up with? And he's still talking about strikers? FFS man, get some proper defenders and ship Carr, Baba and Bramble off to the Conference where they belong!

Ramage is utter, no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners shit. He needs to go. But it's not like the Toon is going to invest in any defenders, so we may as well accept that we're stuck with Solano's Barmy Army until Bramble and Baba are fit (at which point our defence becomes worse, if possible.)

Can't be satisfied. Without Taylor's godawful "defending" we could've had all 3 at Emirates. We may be out of the relegation zone now but it's going to take more than that to keep us out. EDIT: Forgot the Arse doesn't play at Highbury anymore.

What is this shit? I used to think Henry was class but after that obvious bit of cheating I don't know what to say. EDIT: I can't fathom how that wasn't a red. He should just be honest and put an Arsenal jersey on.

Shambles needs to be off. Can Newcastle United really not find a better defender than this clown? I can't believe Arsenal didn't score after that giftwrapped header he generously donated them.

This is kind of pathetic. Ref has ignored pretty much all of Arsenal's fouls. Even that one by Adebayor in our box was given grudgingly. But the moment someone touches an Arsenal player it's a free kick. Bollocks. EDIT: Yellow on Fabregas, about time the ref showed signs of life.

What a match! Finally the side look like real footballers and not county cricketers on hols. Nice to see someone awake for once in the attacking third.

We've done it! Howay the Toon!

Piss off mate. That kind of sentiment isn't needed here. Spread the love on Mackem boards or some shit, the Toon's in enough trouble without your racist inclinations.

From ESPNSoccernet: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story...and&cc=5901 He brings up a lot of stuff we've talked about already but there's some new material in there. Falls a little short of calling for the axe for Freddy but not by much.

HOWAAAAAAY! We've done it! Made history today. Harper's aye proven himself now, bring Chelsea on!

Bloody hell. This shite happens near every match the now. It's Watford! We should be winning 4-0! Is it too much to ask for someone to complete? Lord knows I love the Toon but this is getting embarassing now, me suite's full of Barca and Arse fans and I just get mocked every day. On the plus, lads, Man U's down at Southend.
