Big Geordie

Wolves 0 Blackburn 1 Hoilett

Ricardo Fuller sent off for Stoke - stamp on Ivanovic.

Looks like Tiote will be on his way then, reading between the lines - Chelsea or Arsenal possible destinations? Selling your best players is always risky, because you have to bring in a replacement who is as good as what you have lost, otherwise the team goes backwards. You only have to look back to the 80's, when Waddle, Beardsley and Gascoinge were peddaled and the side (and club) suffered as a result.

That's as maybe, JH but the thing is that these little arseholes are going to tarnish the rest of us with their behaviour. It's not on at all.

Embarrasing.

Bloody charvers.

Not looking at all good for Rangers. Will be interesting to see what happens from there, as to whether a phoenix club will be set up and either apply to join the English Conference (and work their way up) or start in the Scottish Third division. Definite echoes of what happened in Italy with Fiorentina and Napoli, over the last decade and they managed to rebuild over time. Rangers won't be the last 'big' club who will end up this way. Others will come along too.

David Pleat on 5Live says it was nailed on. Ex-Spurs boss in being biased shocker?!

We need a draw on Saturday between them, IMO.

Fair play to the Fenham Eusebio today - his record against the mackems is tremendous and deserves respect.

Can't believe they have been spreading shite on the walls in the bogs up in Level 7. Minging twats.

Yup - this percentages tactic from Pardew needs to come to an end.

Saw a post earlier which said 'Unbeaten at the SDA'. Clutching at straws.

Any kicking off between fans before and after the match, or did the polis do their job for once?

Agreed about the points above about refs lacking consistency on certain decisions. That's what annoys players, managers and fans alike. I thought we were very poor first half - too much feckin long ball, which played right into Turner's and O'Shea's hands. The introduction of Ben Arfa at half time was key, because he destroyed Richardson and showed why he must surely be worth a run in the team, down the right hand side. I'll also say about the sending off, Tiote did over-react but at least he made sure the referee saw it, otherise Sess would have stayed on. Happy enough with the point, considering how poor we were first half. This long ball shite needs knocking on the head.

Pardew needs to stop this long ball rubbish and quick. What happened to the passing side that did so well at the start of the season? No wonder Cabaye is finding it hard to get into games when the ball if flying over his head most of the time. Not good enough! That said, his decision to fetch on Ben Arfa (who had Richardson on toast) and Shola were good decisions.

Awful first half from us. Yes the commitment is there, but where the hell is the football? Defenders hoofing it forward at every opportunity, the same as they did v Wolves last week. We have good footballers in this team, so what the hell is Pardew playing at with his tactics? O'Shea and Turner are lapping it up at the moment. Not good enough!

Nervous!

I'd have had Ben Arfa in for Ryan Taylor, but hey-ho. HOWAY THE LADS!

Oi! 'Marra' is a Northumbrian term!

Aye 'Mag at Work' has reappeared; http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=678879

Yup - stomach is starting to turn a bit now. ::

Blyth get their first league win for 168 days - 2-0 at Colwyn Bay I think.

If we go with a 5 man midfield, then we have to start with Ben Arfa down the right to give us a bit of flair.

What a doylem.
