Big Geordie

Ben Arfa, Colo and Ba have been our only consistent good performances so far this season.

McClean has apparently had death threats made against him, via Twitter (source - Radio Newcastle)

Yup - keeping our 'bigger players' in the summer, was deemed by the club (and Pardew) as a successful window.

Fair play to them for the win today, even if it was a bit jammy. We can't complain about luck, given Cisse's goal v WBA the other week! Doubtlessly 'Party with Marty' will be back in full swing tonight!

Sess - 3-1 Game over now. Fair play to the mackems.

Bloody hell - Cuellar makes it 2-1.

Petric 1-1

Jammy mackems - Fletcher makes it 1-0.

And yet most people will say it was by rolling out cliches like "he gave the ref a decision to make", "if you do that you're risking it" blah blah blah. Absolutely fucking ludicrous. Wasn't even a free kick ffs. Adebayor's was the same yesterday, as clear a yellow as you've ever seen. We're at the point now where any sort of late sliding tackle is risking a red card. That yesterday WAS a straight red for me - n doubt. Both feet were well off the ground when he dived in and by some distance!

Graham Taylor and the co-commentator on 5Live both said 'Red card' as soon as it happened.

Haangeland sent off for Fulham - two footed tackle.

Pardew on Radio Newcastle; Going on about the Cisse thing Injuries Players gave their all today - some good performances (Tiote?) Glad we managed a goal (!) Aware of the stat that it's two years since we came from behind to win in the PL Jonas back next week probably Cisse back next week

In the clarts now. Will be interesting to hear the excuses.

Pressure is on Pardew if we lose today, surely? He was quick to take the plaudits last season. but the listless and half-arsed performances have become all too regular this season. Worrying times, IMO.

One win in seven league games if we lose today I believe?

Here we go.......

Sounds better last 5mins....

Ba misses a sitter?

Cup of tea for me!

Same old, same old with Newcastle again......

Howay!

Gonna be a struggle today - Ben Arfa playing off Ba, with Sammy wide right and Ferguson wide left?

As I said, she's nout special. You would see better in the Bigg Market of a weekend night.

This. She's nout flash, IMO. Can't see the reason as to why so many lads get a semi on over her. :

He's a regular in there. Sunday night's seem to be a favorite time and she has to keep the shop open until nearly 10pm, so he (and others) can come in and play the bandits - despite their being no racing, etc on.
