Curbishley claiming Pardew was only ever one loss away froma  crisis...

Well he was.

But mainly because that loss was either after a series of 5 other losses, part of his overall terrible record, a 4-nil spanking, or to Sunderland.

That is a fair comment about Hatem. Even when he was featuring somewhat regularly there's always been those elements of hope and doubt about him.

To think, even in his best season and run for us in 2012, it still took Pardew 6 months to play him properly and regularly. It was winding everyone up. Dropping him at any excuse until he became undroppable. Pardew... what a clown.

If Ben Arfa never plays for Newcastle again, then let's just decide that he sacrificed himself for us all

What in the fuck

Good. If the next guy is foreign, he'll be happy.

Bordeaux, due to be completed in May 2015.

 

That is going to be so good. Though Stade Chaban Delmas will be missed.

HBA and Ayoze...droool...

Just great to see a guy working hard for the team get rewarded. He's deserved to be a match winning hero for a while. Really pleased for him today.

Deserves to be the hero. Great technique on the shot at the end. Shame.

Everton

Quite shocked at how poor they have been.

"Play toon pin bowling"  on that adboard.

Ugh...

Three times for good measure from Cisse.

You couldn't make that goal up.

Actually, you completely could have

Borderline. Don't think it was a dive though, and yellow is harsh.

... Still, no sympathy for Fabregas from me.

This surely can't be... The crux of it being Ashley has got the perfect puppet. He won't want to risk having to find and educate a new one.

Still, fingers crossed.

Is that really an assist though? Lovely pass, but Hazard still had 3 players to get rid of.

Fabregas, again.

Obviously

Nice moment of clarity for that pass to set Hazard free. Not sure who it was (edit: Fabregas, of course). Before that both teams had been lobbing it back and forth at each other.

Still a lot of work for Hazard to do though.

Ivanovic can be quite the embarrassment when gets into it.

£50 million for him just a few seasons ago

That transfer window was a mess!

Just seen this on Twitter which is pretty cool...

Definitely. I've had my "Holy shit, oh yeah, Danny Simpson" moment already this season.

Fantastic, Owen is commentatting

of course

Erm, can a manager drop himself?

Gouffran in the starting 11 today...
