What a terrible game of football so far. Still, it sucks to concede with just moments to go in the half.

Surely that's Steven Taylor at RB?

Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team
OTF replied to Kid Dynamite's topic in Newcastle Forum
Without a doubt they are not immune to selling players. As you know the majority of that was for Fellaini who incidentally doesn't really for with their style of play under Martinez. The price they got for Anichebe was outrageous, and despite his flame burning brightly for a while they saw the writing on the wall wih Jelavic and cashed out with good timing at a premium above his ability as a player. All this said they really needed to make these sales as their wage bill is very high for their limited turnover so the sustainability for them is still somewhat questionable. Having the opportunity to bring in such quality on loan is a season on season proposition that is unlikely to be repeatable with this level of success.- 10610 replies

Everton spend the money on retaining quality players vs bringing in new ones. As a result they've rarely been stuck with poor players on big wages, unlike us. Wage wise they're effectively paying the same as us, perhaps this season they will go past us in total wage, and they do so without paying players like Obertan 40k a week, M'Biwa, Marveaux and Ben Arfa 60k. At Everton players on that sort of coin are the top contributors and are main stays in the side. The financial controls are operated in unison with the chemistry of the team and guidance of the manager not in opposition to it.- 10610 replies

One or two players per year coming in. On average we have more than that going out. That was a by the numbers piece, with some irritating self defeating talk - noting that we have the third highest attendances and then shortly after saying that we can't compete with the likes of Everton for commercial revenue. Nothing will change. Surely with top ten being incentivised like it has been it is in the clubs fiscally responsible interest for us to finish in 11th?

After the second half of his season surely we now won't be able to even pretend that we have any ambition to potential targets. The only players we'll be able to sign will be outcasts and mercenaries. I can't wait.

Saw Captain America 2 last night. Think it's my favourite of the Marvel films, which is surprising as there's not a lot of attraction to the character. Much better than the first which kind of fell apart in the second half, some unnecessary commitments they made in that were thankfully only minor distractions here.
-
Bet it looks fantastic as well. Doesn't open down under for a little while yet unfortunately.
-
It's telling that I don't even care anymore.

Should be renamed the Washington Generals after that performance. It's like we were there simply to help Southampton populate a highlights reel.

"This new red kit is working wonders eh Mike?" And it's 4, should be more.

Dummet great cross that appeared to ricochet off some posts in slightly off coloured Brazil kits that they oddly set up in the area.

15/16. We've got at least one more season at the top to savour these stunning performances.
-
There's two good things about this game from our perspective; Elliot's put in a good showing; and it's one game closer to the offseason where my weekends won't be bothered by such embarrassing performances.
-
Winning mentality!
-
Nice run and pass from Anita.
-
And the fun continues. Backing off Lallana, seems like a good defensive strategy right?
-
It's lucky we had a reasonable first half of the season with Cabaye. This lot appear like they'd roll over and play dead in a relegation battle.
-
If only that was the case. Although as a fan I don't know if I'd want to play with that lot at the moment.
-
14 attempts from them to 0 from us. 37% possession, no corners. Why am I watching this at almost 3 in the morning?
-
A half decent manager would have taken him off after 10 minutes, he's been that bad.
-
Sissoko running like a gazelle down the sideline, then passing like a gazelle... Then at the other end M'Boumsong keeps their player onside and it's two on the keeper to finally get one past Elliot.
-
Nice save Elliot, how they didn't score then.... If we hold on until the break who knows what Pard's winning mentality can do for the lads in the change room
-
Sissoko not happy about a handball from them, so throws their player down. After play is stopped another of their players comes in with a late two footed challenge that on first glance looked a candidate for a red, and nothing comes of it.

Santon's on the bench, he's returning from illness not injury so get him out there post haste.
