Tiote should come with an Airbag,..

Our defending is looking tidy and composed tonight. Dummett looks far more composed in his more natural position and Tiote has been great at breaking up man city's play just in fro of our back 4

I reckon Remy would have more of an impact than Ben Arfa , keep Cisse on and see if remy can split their defence and feed some balls across to him

Class interception there by mbiwa

Anita keeping things ticking over in midfield. Dummett on for Haidara. Good to see him get 45 mins under his belt, hopefully he's got no issues after his long injury

Unlucky anita

What's the atmosphere like? I'm in a pub with no sound on.

Breakfast sorted and onwards to the pub once the f1 is finished. Any team news? Im presuming there is no truth in the colo rumours about potentially being fit? Gouffran to become a Geordie hero today

I'm going to watch it in the famous 3 kings tomorrow, usually get a good newcastle crowd in there and it's not too far from where I live. Not the best pub in the world but plenty of screens

what do you do btw? a company i'm freelancing at are just about to start a project designing some of the video control equipment

looked like an amazing job. Sadly it was mainly mid-20's blokes eating tesco meal deals

Just got back from watching all the Europa league match footage been edited and sent out for live broadcast, looks like a fun / stressful job, basically a load of footsie fans in a room who segment the live feed everytine there is something of interest in a game, and shout out "goal / shot / miss etc team name" to the producer. Ended up watching 12 games at once - a lot to take in!

They couldn't have done a worse job if they were trying to create a similar light-hearted warning video. The Austrailian reel is beautifully executed, the Metro version is like a 14 year old intern has been left with the task.

He's going to have an amazing goal compilation when he retires.

As much as a cock Ronaldo is / was last night with his dive, his finish for Madrid's first goal was incredible. Most players would never have got that into the net from that angle having rounded the keeper at pace, it was almost like a golfing wedge shot the way he slotted it in.

is that a legit Metro advertisement?! lost for words.

The view above is taken from a single camera hexacopter, getting closer to the stage than in any previous flight. Grasshopper is a 10-story Vertical Takeoff Vertical Landing (VTVL) vehicle designed to test the technologies needed to return a rocket back to Earth intact. While most rockets are designed to burn up on atmosphere reentry, SpaceX rockets are being designed not only to withstand reentry, but also to return to the launch pad for a vertical landing. The Grasshopper VTVL vehicle represents a critical step towards this goal. Grasshopper consists of a Falcon 9 rocket first stage tank, Merlin 1D engine, four steel and aluminum landing legs with hydraulic dampers, and a steel support structure." This video just blew my mind.

Cheers fella, thougtht it would be something along those lines, trying to get more youngn's breaking through instead if the reserves being full of over-paid players on big contracts they can't shake off.

Off topic but didnt want to create another thread for it as I'm sure someone will no the answer; How does our u21 system work? Just read of .com that Obertan (24) captained us in our latest match - is it where you can have x amount of over 21 players in the team?

I can see him going defensive and playing counter attack, they tore us apart last season with through balls. Maybe not this formation exactly, but I can see him changing it around to pack the centre of the pitch, perhaps 451.

I'm back in newcastle for this game so here's to hoping! Just to note - this isn't a formation I want to see him play, but I can see him doing something along these lines.

Just caught West Ham's goals from yesterday. Morrisons goal was worth the win (not sure who it was, but the touch and lay-off as the ball is played to him to start the counter attack is a beaut) but Reid and Vas Te got a big chunk of luck with both their goals - had either of them being for Cisse, no doubt the ball would have been in row Z with his luck at the moment.

I'm sure his misses must be loving that!

Has anyone heard much about 'The Millers'? I've no clue as to whether its good or not, but caught an advert for it yesterday and noticed it has Will Arnett in it so hopefully it has promise!

Regarding the Liverpool game: As much as I'd like to see Pardew go for it and keep with the current system of Gouf / Cisse / Remy, I really don't think he's got the Kahuna's for it, especially after the pummeling we took from them last season. I can see him playing 5-3-2 or similar, packing the centre of the pitch and having Jonas / Debuchey as full backs / wing backs. Krul Debuchy - Williamson - Collo - Taylor - Jonas Sissoko - Tiote - Cabaye Remy - Gouffran It saddens me to say we'll play this defensive when you see the likes of Hull taking on the big boys and not being afraid, but I think Pardew will want to nick a moral boosting draw or at least see only a couple of goals shipped past us due to the following games and how easily we seem to lose confidence.
