Big Geordie

Carroll subbed.

Was always going to happen if someone put major cash on the table. Mike Ashley and Kinnear rubbing their hands as we speak. Just hope this Cabella lad is lined up straightaway to replace him.

3-0 Spurs. Adebayor with his 2nd.

Yes, I know all this BG, but unlike you, I have my doubts as to whether Cabaye will still be here in February....if he is, fair enough, we need him but the main issue is, as you say, that Ashley lacks any ambition for the club and this means more mediocrity for the fans. I have to disagree about Cabaye not getting a regular place at one of the top clubs...if he went to Man U I reckon he would be in every week unless he lost form and with the competition and expectancy top clubs have of their players, there would be more pressure on him to maintain a standard of performance necessary to keep being selected. He clearly now views us as a stepping stone but I don't believe he came with that intention or he wouldn't have tried to persuade Debuchy to come as well ; he thought we might be a big club going places but he knows better now...!! I reckon it'll take the thick end of £20-25million for Ashley to sell Cabaye. It depends if the likes of Man United and PSG are willing to spend so much, this window. However, I see Pardew has already started the peddling of Cabaye, on Sky by talking him up and admitting that these windows are always 'nervous' in case any of the bigger fish come in.

Remember, Pardew is the fella who couldn't fit Tevez and Mascharano into his team.

Remy was wearing no.5 as he took a cut to the head in the first half, and ended up with claret all over his shirt.

Merlin - I'd love to keep Cabaye and have a good go at the top 4, but it's not gonna happen under Ashley. The lad is all set up to have a great 2nd half of the season, ahead of the World Cup. If he wants to move on in the summer, then we are gonna have to let him go. It's not a lack of ambition on the part of the fans - it's more the owner. What Cabaye is guaranteed here is a start week in, week out. I'm not sure he would get that at Arsenal or PSG, but then again - he probably wants to win things and play in the CL.

Arsenal/Fulham 2nd Big clubs always get on first unless a game turns out to be something special. It's all about the ratings.

He's a waster. Fed up of his pish - time to move him on.

Not match fit today and I'm grateful the tramp didn't score.

Get it up you, Fat Heed!

Two terrific goals today. He's gonna be a huge player for us 2nd half of the season. However, I think he'll be off in the summer (on to bigger and better things) If that's the case, he goes with my blessing. Quality player.

Great win, but by christ - did we make hard work of it. Will take it though.

Cabaye! Brilliant freekick

Thought that was in from Collins for a minute!

Lost our shape again - sitting back. Usual Pardew 2nd half.

Need to keep on as we have been doing and not sit back, but then again - that's what Pardew tends to do 2nd half. Remy and Cabaye are terrorizing them.

West Ham might be pish, but we've been superb. Spawny goal - not a good time to conceed

7mins added on......

Mackems will go on and win this.

Mackems level.

Mackems will spawn an equalizer at some time.

Borrini makes it 2-1. Game on now.

2-0 Lovrren!

Should have just been 2-0. Bennett on Radio Newcastle isn't happy.
