He's almost got a point. Anita is a water-carrier which is apparently all Pardew looks for from his wingers (see Jonas and Gouffran post-Pardewing) so it wouldn't shock me if we saw him out wide at some point. This is the man who played our best central midfielder and the driving force of our team as a right winger for almost 2 seasons, after all.

The implication that Geordies would somehow be more receptive to your racist ravings is incredibly insulting. I'm as Geordie as you are - I was born in Newcastle, was brought up in Walker, and no matter what colour I am, where I live now, who my father was, or what words I say when I get down to pray, Geordie is what I am and what I will always be. I honestly reckon I'm probably more of a Geordie than you are - being one is about hospitality, camaraderie, and togetherness, not xenophobia (I'll let you look that one up) and your pathetic brand of cowardice. When Pav wore the famous t-shirt you were probably the only one sat up in the stand going "course he fucking isn't", and thumbing through an atlas so you could figure out just which ethnic slur to apply to him. So basically you can fuck off with that shit about not enough Geordies on here and that's why you're tragically misunderstood.

Firstly, my post was not addressed to or in any way about you, and secondly, why are you such a fucking coward? Say it again and don't delete it this time like the coward you are. Call me a terrorist, bomb-maker, raghead, whatever your epithet of choice is. I know that's what you really feel, because you are so ignorant that in your pathetic little mind, Muslims can only be one thing. So just say it. Everyone on this board knows you are a racist. Why keep trying to pretend you aren't, unless you're not man enough to stand behind the convictions that your life experiences, however sadly twisted and provincial they might have been, have brought you to hold. You are a racist. At least be an honest one.

Klopp's head's been turned. Blatantly thinking about a move to England now, reminiscent of 'Appy 'Arry after all the England talk while he was at Spurs.

Some shocking dives on display like, that's true, and Alexis's whiny face needed a slap. I think the yellow-card waving only hurt his case, I thought Dummett charging him down in the corner and bringing him down was a nailed-on yellow card until the ref got a load of Alexis waving an imaginary card and decided otherwise. We almost always lose at the Emirates so I was expecting nothing from this game, but the feeble lack of ambition still hurts. I feel like the only time we ever perform is when we're not expected to, like the cup game against Man City or the home game v. Chelsea. Any time we're on a run or starting to look decent something derails us without fail. Sissoko back v. Spurs and the mackems should definitely help, our midfield was flat as a pancake today.

It was a nothing finish, he could've hit it with his cock and it would've gone in from that range and against that defence and keeper. Another dogshit team selection and here we are, they haven't been good and that makeshift defence had holes we could've exploited. Instead we started with Tiote and Gouffran in midfield and Perez on the wing...

Elliott is a bog standard keeper and Alnwick is even worse. Understandable that your 3rd choice keeper is never going to be very good but fuck me, that was shocking.

Get a life already like. Bore off until the next time we lose a game and you can come back with apocalyptic predictions.

What a load of shit. Citeh had fit keepers when they had their crisis a couple of years ago and they didn't want to play the Faroese kid (Nielsen?) and they got dispensation to bring in an emergency loan. Darlow isn't even in our PL squad list, we couldn't play him if we wanted to. I don't know what the FA think they're playing at, but I do know it would never happen if it were Chelsea or Man U who needed a keeper.

Amateur night from Abeid, he was fucking rubbish. Embarrassing strikes of the ball at times. Two shots into Row Z and a diabolical corner right at the death. Offered nothing all night, barely at Colback/Anita level of recycling the ball. I want to like him and he's put in some good shifts over the winning run but he was atrocious. Cabella our best player on the night despite only completing 45 minutes. No surprise that the end of our winning streak has coincided with Gouffran's return to the side, he is useless and we may as well be playing with 10 men. Even when he tracked back he was comically forced into conceding the foul by Boyd. Cisse may score from chances in the box but his all-around play is nonexistent. He brings no-one into the play and sometimes seems barely unable to control simple chest-high balls when outside the box. Back to the same old shit from Pardew. Excuses prepared for January now that we've got some points on the board. Another chance to challenge the European places soon to be strangled in the crib.

Double stupid yellows there. What a fucking cunt Carroll is though, carrying on like that over nothing.

Tiote rushed back, Gouffran starting, zzzz.

Gouffran playing at all is laughable, he is so rubbish these days. Taylor going off killed any momentum we had, he was really driving us forward.

Is this one better than 2014 then? Been looking to upgrade my 2011 for a little while but I passed on 2014 because of bad reviews.

Great goals and another solid win against a side we've done poorly against in recent years. Long may it continue.

Brilliant. When was the last time we saw a goal like that?

Whisky smells like paint thinner and looks like a piss after you've been punched a few times in the kidneys. I can't comment as to the taste but that's the impartial observer's take on it.

Where has this team been? I mean, he's only gone and won 4 on the trot now. Happy Halloween.

Liverpool look strikingly average. If we put on Cabella or another striker (or both!) we can get at them and cause real damage, especially with Skrtel on a yellow.

Sorry if that was a chomp, like, but issues like this have been on my mind as of late. I'm expecting a child, gender unknown, and I don't want my prospective daughter to grow up in a society where things like this are taken as a matter of course.

Are you kidding me? What is that if not harassment? That kind of shit happens here every day, and yeah, I'm going to say it - it's the blacks and immigrants, my own people included, who do it. It's embarrassing. Nothing is more obviously low-class than whistling at/obviously turning in the street to stare at lasses, and worse still are the very popular "I said you were beautiful, you should say thank you" implicit threats to solo women. The fucking worst is when they hound girls with strollers or who are trailing toddlers. Obviously men are going to look at good-looking women but that's all it should be, looking. I really question if any man on this earth has ever managed to get a number, let alone any farther than that, with this type of behavior. It does nothing for any of these deadbeat losers, most of whom do nothing except hang out outside bodegas and smoke weed they bought with welfare checks, except self-affirm their preconceived idea of women as objects.

Cracking game, City never looked remotely up for it and we were. Maybe this is the turning point for this season - I still think Pardew sent that team out to lose tonight though.

I think the Mbwia/Janmaat shit or not shit debate needs to take a backseat to a much more important issue - whether or not essembee can learn how to use a fucking apostrophe. You seem to get it right when you close the quote, so why can't you use the correct one to open it, you ````ing moron? (For my two cents' worth, Mbiwa didn't magically turn to shit in a season and a half at NUFC. His poor performances were a result of being played out position and never having a decent run in the team. And Janmaat will turn out like most class foreign defenders do when they first arrive in the PL - dodgy at the start before finding their feet, much like Debuchy, Colo, and Enrique to name a few from recent years.)

Zaki is a moron who inevitably went the way of all one-season wonders (check his career after leaving Wigan...doesn't make for pretty reading) but I wholeheartedly support his decision not to join Portsmouth because they had Algerians. I wouldn't want to play alongside those malingering Desert Foxes bastards either, especially not that year after they'd just cheated their way to knocking us out of the WC. Then when they got to the WC, they played 3 of the most dire, joyless matches ever before witnessed in world football. Cunts, the lot of them.

Great subs by Pardew. It's not that hard - put on attacking players and you will attack. Perez went from total passenger to match-winner because he had support. Didn't much care for how we went total defence around 75 minutes, that was a bit too much of the traditional Pardew negativity. They were there for the taking in the second half, we should've killed the game off.
