James

Except at a club where there is no other left back.

There will be an Ameobi playing for Newcastle every season for the next 746 years.

If Cissokho failed his AC Milan medical, maybe we are looking to have a plan b in case he does

It will get to the point where they are sat next to each other at the contract signing table and Llambias does eeny meeny miny mo, handing the winner a contract, and the loser a picture of

What did he do?

Krul - Superb saves, poor kicking - 9 Simpson - lethargic - 4 Williamson - didn't make his presence felt - 5 Coloccini - Everywhere in defence - 8 R Taylor - Decent. Scored - 7 Lovenkrands - No real contribution - 5 Gosling - hot and cold. Very rusty as you'd expect - 5 Cabaye - Kept the team ticking - 8 Marveaux - Started sharply, understandably faded. But got 120 minutes - 7 Ba - Linked up well at times but not attacking the goal well - 4 Best - Getting in good positions but not scoring - 6 Taylor - defended well - 7 Ameobi - Fantastic impact - 8 Vuckic - Composed in the midfield - 7

i changed the thread title moments before he scored

He's no longer just a humourous substitute.

Getting so much better all the time

What? Your thread title change...

Wouldn't Krul have just saved it? He was on the right wing.

Dave? Are you having a breakdown? There is extra time!

If the ref hadn't blown they would have scored. The sixty yard shot went in.

Dave, Wrong. James.

Name 3 worse. Why 3? You said you have seen worse i don't agree, just give me one if you want. OK, I will start. Boumsong.

That was the best save I've ever seen.

He can make passes you wouldn't expect to come off

Just a mixed performance. Some good, some bad.

Is Situ confirmed? What about Remy?

Krul has reached the level where he can actually turn a game like Given at his prime could.

Scunthorpe will tire themselves out. I'd say Colo, Cabaye, Marveax, Gosling and Best have all played well.

Anyone else have the £8 a month ipod/iphone sky sports stream? It is really good, except for cricket.

Smith, Harper, Ranger. All rumoured to be unwanted, all left out of even the cup games. It is as if we are trying to tell them something.

Right mix of youth and experience in my opinion. Hughton used to play too many kids, I think it is better that kids get to play in the same team as the likes of Coloccini.
