Webb is so fucking bad.

Colo. BYB

a black rapist. The f***? Yeah that's not even remotely okay. f***ing hell I'm sure he was getting at the stereotype some people come out with. post removed i see No.

To be fair our movement is no existent and the fact we drop off so far means we can't get out as Chelsea just push up and compress the play While true he keeps making f***ing dreadful passes forward that go straight to their players, even with s*** movement there's no excuse for it. But he makes us tick. Sissoko has been worse though.

Sammy's touch.

I don't know what statistics there are for this, but it seems absolutely clear to me that Anita is much, much better at retaining the ball, moving the ball quickly and moving off the ball than Tiote. There won't be a "massive gulf" in the stats I guess, because Tiote's pass completion isn't too bad. But Anita does a much better job of those things I mentioned. Tiote simply gets lot more touches per game than Anita. Pass completion percentage is always similar while Tiote has a lot more attempts. Tiote is also great at tight spaces and has good technique for a defensive minded midifielder. Only thing that lets him down sometimes is that he can get even too confident in possession. Tiote in the form he's been the past few months is IMO easily one of our most important players.

Why ask then?

Google is your friend.

Tiote isn't all about protecting. You would think there's some massive gulf in retaining possession between Anita and Tiote but there really isn't. Tiote's other abilities are a lot better than Anita's and that's why I would always play him. Anita can obviously get better but he's a passenger at times and we can't afford that luxury right now. That's when he's asked to be the main man in CM obviously.

In that case it's always Tiote-Sissoko-Marveaux. There's absolutely no way Anita should get picked ahead of Tiote right now.

Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa

This is the type of match where Tiote normally does really well at. Without him, our central midfield looks p*ss poor defensively. Without Cabaye it does. Without Tiote we keep the ball better.

I would love it, Bielsa would never join us when we have Ashley and Swansea are a small neutral club. Bielsa would make the league much more interesting and entertaining.

Aye, if you are about to run to the pitch at least change your shoes to more suitable ones. No need to look like a prick slipping around.

Get in!

lets not go overboard, ashley's degrading nufc, Red Bull would kill nufc and replace it with their own monstrosity Would they? How sure are you that Ashley won't pull something like that somewhere along the line? We might get changed to newcastle red bulls, equally Ashley could change our name, did it with the stadium Ashley could do lot of things but he won't change the name of the club to Newcastle SportDirects.

4 or 5 games? If I'm an insider then you are thick as mince. What you talking about dips**t. A businessman only cares about money. You're some sort of ridiculous apologist: whats your angle? Sports Direct employee or something. If a customer doesn't like a product then they should stop buying it: the company then has to change or cease to make a profit. Few hundred N-O members skip few games and all will be resolved quickly? That's so naive.

Jesus wept. This has to be an insider. Realism more like. I'm all for protesting but it just never works. SJP will be near full no matter what is done. IMO getting the media's attention is the only way to get anything done but even that's hard when there's been the Chicken Bros and Vincent Tan doing their thing recently. Sadly I believe another relegation is the only way to get anything significant going on. What on earth could/would the media do? They dont care about our fans at all, they also know what happens when they speak out(which they wouldnt on this) No guarantees a relegation would change things either as 1, it didnt last time and 2, who would be willing to take us on afterwards when no f***er is right now? My point was more that the general consensus among the media is that we are still having a decent season. Big public read the papers and papers have impact on their views. The recent poll showed that people really aren't that arsed about the situation. Protests never work unless there's a significant portion of the fanbase behind it. Even then the impact of it could be anything, some things could change or everything stays the same. Relegation guarantees nothing either but at least it would take away the national advertisement space from Ashley. We're basically stuck with Ashley as long as he fancies owning this club and I can't see anything changing that.

Loved him back in the day. Didn't get to see enough of him, but one of the first players to admire as a kid. Legend, especially because of that penalty in '94 copying Baresi Same, my first football memories are from the '94 World Cup and I adored him.

Pro-lol was a beast, just doesn't like scoring.

Aye, that would be a fresh and interesting topic. Who starts the thread?
