Wullie

If he's so bothered about Ben Arfa coming infield, why does he steadfastly refuse to try him in the position where he gave his best NUFC performance, wide left?

I wanted to try that long ball thing with Guardian chalkboards but they've binned then for some reason.

If we create chances for our front two there's absolutely no doubt we'll beat them.

Cabaye against Blackburn away too in the Cup.

If he's such a good player, it makes me wonder why there was absolutely nobody calling for him to be in the team in the Championship. Before Routledge there was Guthrie out there being terrible and also Pancrate who was far from popular yet nobody even then ever thought Taylor was up to it. A few decent games at left back and suddenly everyone's singing his praises as a right sided midfielder in the Premier League. I like him, he's a great squad player, cracking right foot and gets into the box better than most of our midfielders but in terms of playing a decent passing game, he is a million miles away. Nowhere near enough movement for a start.

Is there no middle ground between "carpet football" and not being totally dominated by a poor Wolves side for the best part of an hour? I'd have settled for the latter on Saturday.

He only plays that way because he's under pressure to win the game in twenty minutes. In his one start ( ) on the right wing against Blackburn he was disciplined and sensible with the ball and completely ran the show.

He's spent the best part of 100 million to be 7th. If KKK is getting a point for winning on penalties against a Championship side then give Parky another half a dozen as well for a shameful league campaign.

Aye, being better than Ryan Taylor automatically gets you a game at Barcelona like. Pathetic posts.

Nah i'm sure we never played anywhere near as much long ball stuff early on as we have recently.

The thing I fail to understand most of all is why we've embraced the long ball game so much. Seemed to happen around the middle of December and has been getting worse since, we definitely weren't playing this way prior to the Man City defeat, home or away.

Gerraway man, they're still behind us and we're shit!

Still absolutely livid this morning. They say you make your own luck in football - what a load of shite. Some clubs have everything on a silver platter and Liverpool is the worst of them. God I hate them.

Of course we have to change our original expectations given how good Ba is, and especially now having added Cisse otherwise what was the point in signing him?

I thought we'd finish in the bottom half at the start of the season, and fair play that we're not, none of us really saw Demba Ba coming, but I always said that 7th was the bare minimum acceptable position.

3 or 4 players good enough for the top seven? Is that a joke? Krul, Colo, Santon, HBA, Cabaye, Tiote, Cisse and Ba - there's 8, there's only 11 in a team!

What do you think the minimum should be Ian?

Can't understand how anyone can say we're overachieving when we're 6th and Norwich are 8th. I'm with Minhosa.

Hopefully that's exactly why we're saying they're injured, if we even are.

Feel like going out and buying a copy of The Sun, I'm that livid.

The irony of Newcastle fans under Pardew calling Wenger a joke.

The worst thing is that I can't even get excited about them coming up here for a pasting like last season. Our lads will be sent out to love, honour and obey the mighty Liverpool. We'll work hard and they'll piss it.

How can you miss the target three times? I'm livid. Fucking taffs.

Wall pushing bastards. Fucking hate the scummy cunts.

Why does nobody ever go down the middle anymore from the spot? Fuck's sake.
