I thought we were great first 45 mins but look knackered after. In hindsight if we were going to lose to Blackburn we should have rested Ritchie and Shelvey as well ready for this one.

Sels 100% to blame for this hope Elliott comes back soon and we never have to see that idiot again.

Shelvey saved the day there really running back

Please release Sels!

Rafa stays; Atsu out ... if we don't qualify Seriously, did Atsu fuck your Mum?

Ritchie looks knackered. Atsu please.

Need an extra body in the box. Possibly Gouffran with Atsu coming on.

BBC reporting that another defender Alan Ruschel and two keepers survived.

Although Louise Taylor thinks we don't want to be in the quarters

So this is the player who first got Bennell arrested for what he did in Atlanta. Says Gradi was driving him to Bennell's house in 1990, when Gradi has said Bennell was stopped from being unsupervised with kids from 1998. Looks like Gradi and Crewe are in complete disgrace and need imprisoning/shutting down. The FA paid him £1200 compo and did not investigate any of the claims further. This is the chance for the government to come in and force the FA to modernise. At Man Utd this player was somewhere between Robbie Savage and Nicky Butt in terms of ability. I hope the Man Utd community that he worked with (Fergie, Charlton, class of 92, Bruce, Hughes, Savage) go and give him enough money to live off for the rest of his life.

As if he will go back to mid table he will need to go t a big name abroad even if it is Inter or Galatasaray.

Dummett ain't no wing back. Lazaar/Gamez with Dummett as DCL

Should be 5 years for indecent images and life for any physical acts where the age gap is more than 5 years. Then again I am the sort of person that thinks people should be imprisoned or deported for driving at over 40mph in a 20mph zone outside a school.

The deal was that he would get the bonus as long as he commuted to remain manager beyond the summer (defined as 31st August) He supposedly has a run-in with the players on the 12th August. On 13th August he asks for early payment of his bonus as he needs the money urgently to secure some property for his kids. Then on 14th August he resigns. No property was ever purchased. It was as dodgy as fuck.

I can see it now (on Pardew as USA manager) USA 0 - 2 Canada "We don't have any knowledge of soccer in this country to be able to compete with the likes of Canada and Australia"

Personally I would like to see us keep up with the times and go with the latest 343 wing backs craze. Our players suit that better than our current formation imo.

I think the number 10 is probably our most difficult position at the moment we just don't have the player for it. I would perhaps like to see us try a winger there, possibly and controversially Gouffran given that he was once a striker, so maybe something interesting to try. All considered unless Perez or Diame improve notably we need to either find a better player or change our system before next season.

Martin Keown absolutely nails it on Pardew's psyche. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38123725

I think everything he did today was in the assumption that we will be playing 120 mins on Tuesday.

Which can be done behind closed doors with the family and the police. No need for speculating on forums, social media, and the press. it wasnt speculating. just a fact that had been brought up about one of my toon heroes in a discussion about abuse in football. may as well close the thread then. Sexual assault victims have the right to anonymity. We couldn't go posting for example that a living person was sexually assaulted unless they waive their right to anonymity. The same rule applies for the dead.

Unless Bennell confesses or there are other credible witnesses then the Speed family should be left well alone.

P45 for Pard 4-5

Been in the media all week that Swansea is his last chance.

He ran into the Swansea technical area to gloat.
