"Before jetting off, Magpies manager Alan Pardew solemnly told supporters the four-night break would be a strictly sober jaunt."
Aye, that was exactly the impression I got when he went on Radio Newcastle and said they were off out drinking that night.
Suarez admitted saying to Evra "I don't talk to blacks" and you defend him? You're a fucking disgrace, you and your scum manager and your scum fellow supporters. Absolutely abhorrent.
Who shunts wide in this 4-3-3, Ba or Cisse? I'm not really comfortable with either doing it tbh. We should be trying to keep Ba doing what he's been fantastic st and fit Cisse into that IMO.
Very tenuous using the QPR game to justify that formation with Best on the left, Yorkie. We won and he scored a great goal but it was a very poor, very negative performance IMO. Other than ten minutes before half time, it was dreadful.
A shit team will win it, unless it's Spurs, there's only them left that are real quality. This was a fantastic chance for a good cup run and as usual we've barely bothered our arse.
Seeing them this week really gives me hope for how good our team can be. They've knocked Man City and Man United out of competitions within four days... and they're absolutely shit. Good at the back, the rest is dross.
