Big Geordie

Lovenkrands is the whipping boy at the moment. He's not great but he's not totally to blame either.

Bloody hell - Walters makes it 1-0.

Ferguson gonna come on - Enrique knackered.

Free header by Wilson - wide.

I can see the sense in going with three DC's here. Worry is though how Colo will deal with Jones, because wor lad struggles against more physical opponents. I'd take a draw now, but I can see us going down 2-0. Injuries, etc have got us f**ked at the moment.

Are we actually paying his wages since he joined?

All the best to him.

One of them has been banned from going to games; http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north-east-news/evening-chronicle-news/2011/03/14/hooligan-linked-to-toon-gremlins-banned-72703-28331284/2/ I've always heard of this group during my time supporting Newcastle, but I thought in recent years they had disbanded and disappeared back under the rocks they crawled out from? Load of wasters - whoever they are.

Goatsheed getting beat 3-2 now.

This.

Jamie McClen anyone?

What is this rumour about Ranger that was doing the rounds at the match on Saturday (as alluded to by today's True Faith editorial)?

Not gonna get owt of this now. Arteta has ran the show (how we could do with a midfielder like him!) Pardew paying for his mistake of starting Steven Taylor at DR because it's cost us big time today. Our home form is a real concern.

Need to sort out at half time. Taylor is getting pulled to bits at right back so Pardew has ballsed up there with moving Simpson forward.

Because it gets Simpson back into defence, exactly where he should be. How about putting Jonas down the right, with Ferguson down the left? As it is at the moment, you have left footer playing wide right and a right footed player playing wide left.

Surprised you didnt accuse Pardew of crocking him Saucer of milkf for table 2!

Lovenkrands wide right? Madness. Why not bring on Shane Ferguson?

Enrique knackered - hamstring according to Radio Newcastle.

Jageielka. Way to go Pardew for today!

Bloody hell - caught on the break.

Best! 1-0!

Great chance for Osman - not taken thankfully.

Not a good start. In keeping with how we've played at home of recent.

Howay!

*not confident* We are really hamstrung by injuries at the moment. Don't understand why Pardew won't start Ferguson down the left and move Jonas to the right. ::
