Can someone fill me in on the salient differences between a 4-2-4 and a 4-4-2?....

Fucker knows he's picking his cards up after Anfield iyam... http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-pardew-admits-most-newcastle-7008857 http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-pardew-reveals-even-small-7008860

Just finished Catrine Clay's biography of Bert Trautmann. What a life he had, from full blown Hitler youth/Nazi paratrooper to fa cup final hero. Brilliant read.

glue some sandpaper to the roomba Gemmil, sorted son

Yes, KCG is a very polite bigot it would appear

He's MIA that fucker....is he writing his memoirs?..."HOW I WAS RIGHT ABOUT PARDEW"....

Malky McKay would come iyam. Is this good or bad?...

Is nauseous a mood?.... Message for all you bank holiday DIY'ers...dont drive a de walt with a 6mm bit on it through your index finger if you dont want a hairy male nurse digging swarf and bone fragments out of it

they asked on talksport today what odds he was to be first goalscorer...14/1, which is still tight as fuck iyam

You cant coach self respect

He came back from his last longish injury lay off at the back end of last season a stone overweight by the looks of it. He's had all last summer and all this season to lose it and he's not bothered. He got a chance of redemption when Cabaye was sold, he's back in the side and didnt really do much. Its difficult to say why he's plainly not that bothered about his condition, his life away from the club is apparently "complex". But it looks like his teamates dont have a lot of time for him either. I imagine its like having a teenage boy as a collegue, and he's got history for hoying the toys out the pram. A change of manager may indeed change his attitude for the better, but the rest of his equally hugely underperforming teamates at least have enough respect for themselves,their careers and the club in general to give themselves the best chance of performing well by not carrying excess weight whilst drawing a huge wage as a professional sportsman.

Am I just being insanely and ludicrously optimistic to think that Pardew will get sacked before the end of May?.... Ashley has sacked Allardyce and Hughton x 2, its not beyond the realms of possibility iyam...

Pardew is 5-1 joint favourite with Tim Sherwood to be the next PL manager to be sacked.. think I'll have some of that...Fuck knows why Sherwood is at 5s ,wasn't he told he's off in the summer last week?..

Anyone watch lfc v citeh in a pub today? Was anyone else told to "show some respect" by a plastic scouser after continuing with your conversation after the whole pub 300 miles from Liverpool had fallen silent in renemberance of Hillsborough dead? Was it just me?..... /

Corners well down to their usual standard It actually lead to Stokes goal...after it went back to our ggoalie straight from the set piece we gave the ball away and didn't get it back...

On 500k a year? You want to take more water with it mate. Not sure what folk were expecting from Pardew re team selection, French W C players have sacked it off for the season and we've been twatted in our last 3 games...always likely to be changes, however shite.

I was there when he scored what sounds like a similar goal for lfc...part of a first half hatrick, left Dabizas looking like a twat, again...

He's a Mag apparently, played for Killingworth Juniors....didnt stop him scoring or looking reasonably fuckin pleased with himself at SJP in February though....

Just the fact that hes on a free makes me think its likely to happen

In that case, this BREAKING NEWS is right up your street young man http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/sunderland-s-jack-colback-on-newcastle-s-transfer-radar-1-6552116

How much will he be on a week?

Its chicken and egg though; without the likes of Rob Lee getting us out of divi 2 then being utterly brilliant Shearer wouldnt have touched us with a bargepole, regardless of where he was born. If you can quantify it, our "value" as a club increased more as a club between 92-96 iyam. Good point about Shearer increasing our worlwide profile though.

AFCB within 2 points of the play offs in divi 2 after beating 6th placed Reading 3-1 tonight, think its 8 wins in 10 now, with fellow pack chasers Forest and Ipswich still to play...though Forest look like a busted flush now after getting twatted at Derby last month. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/afc-bournemouth Bournemouth in the play offs? Oh yeah, and they might sign this knacka too http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-uniteds-dan-gosling-summer-6932920

Hes a Scorpio actually.... He waited till his early 20s to get an ear piercing too...Is it just a case of "late adopter syndrome"?....
