Will be 3 relegations in 3 seasons for him if they do go down.

Nonsense.

Done it three times if you include cup games mind.

:lol: He's far more suited to the style of how the team plays, he's not an out an out striker but more than capable of paying that role on the shoulder and has done so for us before. Far more suited to how Shelvey has been playing this season for instance.

Really? Murphy may as well have not been on the pitch against QPR, he was dreadful.

Was a few minutes later according to BBC and they are saying injury. Twitter disagrees with the BBC.

Source appears to be Micky Quinn but seems about right.

Would like to see Perez given a go up top on Saturday.

Yeah when coming on as a sub, I don't think he's trusted enough to start which says its own story when the comparison is gouffran. Much as we love him - in some ways Rafa is Allardyce/Pardew. He likes to play the percentages, he likes hard working players he can rely on and he struggles to trust purely flair players. If his name was Ralph Bennett.... <\controversial> If he name was Ralph Bennett and he'd won: 2 La Liga titles 1 FA Cup 1 Champions League 1 Europa League 2 Italian Super Cups 1 Italian Cup 1 Fifa World Club Cup 1 Community Shield 1 European Super Cup 1 UEFA Cup He'd still be the best manager we could possibly get.

Chain restaurants have their uses, families with kids etc. Too many s**** ones about but these days there's a few decent chains about, CAU, Wahaca, Cote, Ping Pong all pretty decent really. Don't think any of them are in Newcastle mind.

He did that more when he first joined, 4 goals I think in his first season. Barely gone forward since.

Na was strawberry corner's fault for not turning it round the corner as passing it up.

Twice Clark has just whacked it out of play.

Most pubs round here showing Arsenal, about 25 miles from Birmingham. Useless.

All bar one away from home though, so not that surprising given our away form over the last few years until this season.

Thinking about what, progressing in the FA Cup? Wrong thread. Should have been in the mackem thread.

Looks Pardew needs 40 winks.

Not really, some pretty decent players sign for s*** clubs in London just because they are in London. That doesn't apply to Manchester or Liverpool. It'll mean the Manchester United/Everton reserves don't need to move house when they sign for them though

Pretty sure there were rumours of Ashley and Lambeezy thinking about this years ago but thankfully came to nothing.

Fuck off Schwarzer.

They should be competing for a mid-table/Europa League place IMO. That's off the back of winning the title. That's what I would have expected of them. Look at their team, Schmeichel, Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Albrighton, Drinkwater, King. They are crap players, bottom 6 level.

They should be doing slightly better, but their team and squad is still filled with very average players that just so happen to have had a 15 month period of freak performances and then reverted to type.

They aren't that far off where they should be really for who they've got, especially at the back. Last season was just a freak season.
