Enlighten me which midfielders you're talking about. Count me in. Preferably if you could go a bit outside of the box and count out Speed and Lee. Is this a joke? Batty, Pedro, Speed, Hamann, Lee, Dyer and Parker were all more effective PL players. Besides that fact it´s over 15 years since Pedro and Batty played for us, I would find it very hard to agree that Cabaye is not fit to lick Hamann, Dyer and Parkers underpants Moving on then. Over 15 years since Pedro and Batty? In your little world, perhaps. Pedro left in 97/98, Batty a year later. Pedro left in august 97 which is exactly 16 years ago, no? Batty left december 98, so still a few months until the 15 year mark, I'll give you that. Time flies Ron! It does. And I miss them all, mate. 2013 NUFC is shit. It's 20 years this coming Thursday since I went to my first PL game. If I'd been born 20 years later and this was my footballing introduction I'd probably have picked a different sport. Maybe Rugby - and turned out gay. Imagine that shit. My Mrs is due in a couple of weeks. Do I subject this innocent child to NUFC?

I've not been impressed with MYM to date but he was good on the whole yesterday. Hopefully him and Colo get a good run together so that when Mr Newcastle is back he remains firmly on the bench

come on he's hardly Neil Ruddock

It annoys me intensely how in a post match interview the interviewer never challenges/argues points. They ask shit generic questions and get cliched answers. Just challenge him on things directly, or is there a contract with Sky/BBC etc that says nice questions only?

Good to have a clean sheet, although there were some very ropey moments like Nolan's free header. Anita showed Tiote how to play a simple effective game, not a pirouette in sight. We are crying out for a striker to link between midfield and attack. Cisse & Shola were very poor and too far apart, meaning they were just giving away fouls while scrapping for the ball. We are 1 point up on the same fixtures last season too. Clutching at straws I know!

Andy Cole for me. I had a lot of childhood love for Scott Sellars too

"Tayls" has been the common denominator in our shit defence for almost 10 years. NO coincidence

Battle of Britain tbf

Can't do it on my phone but can someone find a Levi Roots picture?

"What some people call a fucking lazy...." Sorry bit early for that

We'll go back for him in January and sign him for £2m

AVB? Surely not.

I'm starting to wonder if he's just taking the piss. Indyliar is an amusing follow

Oh we'll at least we've got the gates back.

I'm not quite sure what to say. Quite clearly an attempt to undermine Pardew, he resigns without compensation and JFK steps in as manager saying he'd have got us in the Champions League if he hadnt got ill

Great character from predominantly a team of British players desperate to prove they are Premiership quality players. We should try it

I've had that game down as a defeat all season. We've never done well in that kind of game and QPR will see that as their best chance for 3 points.

Just read the first few pages of this thread.

Who was the kid on Motd then? I thought Jean was the little black guy who joined in the celebrations

Yes, but his master was SBR. Poor Jean. 8 year contract for Jean

I smiled at nufcfans threatening to sue the fake Cheick Tiote profile

Another flavour of the month appointment from Liverpool to follow Hodgson and Dalglish. I've nothing against Rodgers and he might do well but I don't think anyone would be surprised if he didn't last long

It's the same thing, Greene is fronting it but backed by Fred, Ken and some Singapore businessmen. Greene had that Proactive agency who FS did so much with

Colo in team of the year apparantly. Btw why is there an embargo on this? Hardly central to national security is it?

Surely manager of the year. Quite how people mention Rodgers is beyond me, promoted team finish 14th woop de doo. England had better stay away!
