it's shit like this jonas

Jonas will draw fouls and slow down the game? I guess? What's the game plan

oooh santon and colo scissoring. get a room

Equally likely to score the way we look at the moment.

please titote off for anita please you clueless twat

thank fuck for coloccini

shoulda cleared that willo

Passing our way out along the ground. Not going to bother with stats or looking for them but it definitely feels like less hoofball.

Medel is a violent turd and should be banned from football and appearing within 100 yards of a primary school

If you're like me you're crazy for graphs. Goals allowed/shots faced and goals scored/shots attempted for the first six games (didn't do these found them on reddit): attack: http://i.imgur.com/aNFsx0d.png defense: http://i.imgur.com/gbkCf6Q.png

Wasn't a goal but I'm going to go ahead and jizz anyway at that free kick

amazing.

please please please don't be a rapist

Every other game is a defeat you plum. Then I guess some won't have to wait long

prolly because it's harder to whinge after a good result. Oh sure, you can bust out the old chestnuts of false dawn, paper over the cracks, but it's hard to get that negative momentum really going without a sound thrashing to back it up.

Must have missed all those matches where Parker showed great composure on the ball and took the time to look around him before picking a pass. Or where Anita has begun needlessly pirouetting on halfway without an opposition player within 20 yards before knocking it back to the Krul.

It's barely too small. around 8 interesting things become more clear. I did something regarding "# of games in vs. certainty to finish a certain position" a while back, should maybe update it or expand it, but I don't think much has changed since 2010. http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,72421.msg2602445.html Top 3 is determined fairly early - once you're in it after ~ 8 games, you almost unerringly do not finish outside of it. 4th-6th you need half a season before being able to say with a degree of certainty. If you're bottom after 9 games you're almost certain to go down. Determining the rest of the bottom 6 takes about half a season.

Voted long time ago for Rudi Garcia when he was at Lille. Is doing well at Roma now too. I have no idea who we could get or who would come at this point.

fucked

It's a game that can't be won man. Does something wrong? Blamed and well deserved. Does anything right? Should have been doing it anyway, no credit. And anyone who thinks I'm misrepresenting the no-win fantasy world they live in, where the minimum acceptable criteria for a manager is "gets everything right all the time", please, provide a comprehensive list of things you would actually give pardew credit for. And I don't even like the f***er - although to some I'm sure if I'm not actively trying to set him on fire I must want to lick his hoop - I'm just tired of the ridiculous blindness on display sometimes. I love the I don't even like him disclaimer while defending him. Saying that there are some on here who would rather chew off their own dicks than say he got something right - and create unwinnable situations so that that can never happen - is not defending him.

Gouffran was acting LB for most of that 2nd half.

goddamnit count hoofula

Good point. They won a half, we (might) win a half. It's like a draw, really. Areet HF! I don't even know what feelings I have anymore. it's not anger or hate or sadness or joy I'm just floating along in the shiteosphere with Pardew, between earth and the heavens
