Is Kuntz still around? He would be an offensive player.

We'll miss him when he finally goes just like Man City miss Shaun Goater despite all their cash/star players.

Wonder what he thought of Shola.

In terms of most improved player, it should go: 1. Carroll 2. Barton 3. Simpson

I don't think there was any intention. He had the ball, he lost control of it for a split second so he instinctively went to get it back. It is a part of his game that shouldn't be curbed as it is the same drive that is making him win matches for us at the moment.

So, which teams haven't? Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, Blackpool, Man City? Chelsea and Man City are the only two I 95% couldn't see wanting him to be honest.

Add Ben Arfa and Simpson, who I think will become a very good right back. We're getting close to having a first team that will compete at the top level and will challenge to qualify for Europe in a year or two. Have to agree with Simpson. Although this has a lot to do with the lack of alternatives, I really can see him in an England shirt before long, if only for a friendly Don't like to go off topic in Tiote's thread but this is the most disgusting post I have read in a long time. Simpson should be nowhere near a Premier League side let alone getting in any England squad, no matter how few alternatives there are . He's played well enough to merit a place in the team this season. Or have you judged him from last season where he spent several months needing an operation, but played through the pain for the cause?

I take it as a compliment that the British media are taking any naughty behaviour from him to make a point. he's one of them nasty foreigners taking the place of young English talent, and unlike Jordi Gomez he is going to be in this division for years to come and they know it.

I'd say Shola's first touch is pretty good, it is his second touch which is the frustration. When he doesn't have to think he is a good instinctive footballer. However a mental block gives him the tendency to cock up easy things a lot after he has done all the tricky stuff.

Apparently he was poked in the eye.

He rarely ever used his right foot in his few games for us. Ball was almost glued to his left. Didn't one of our players, either Nolan or Barton, describe him as being like Kinkladze. Very one footed but can do a lot with that one left foot? It was Nolan http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/9012429.stm

Romelu Lukaku

I think he said that he wants to do a bit more research on the players he goes for to ensure that they are right for the shirt.

What a div you are. Log out. Many neutrals would have put LLLD against those fixtures. At most three points. Obviously we exceeded expectations which I'm pleased about. And you wouldn't have even been disappointed had we lost three in a row, two of which were at home, and a draw against Wigan? Fuck off man. There is a difference between wanting to win every game and being able to analyse a pattern of results. Anyone who looked at the fixture list at the start of the season would have seen a run of defeats.

Ultimately you are judged on results. I wouldn't have been disappointed with 1 point from his four games. We got 6.

Prefer Barton.

NUFC Corner. Colo 30 yards out pulling up his socks looking completely disinterested. Corner goes 18 yards out. Colo runs to ball and heads it onto the crossbar. Keeper nowhere.

Well, they can both cross on that side, that's true. I'm going to call it Bart Simpson

Who has the armband?

Now you've said it I feel comfortable that it will not happen.

One day Taylor will get genuinely winded and the ref will give the penalty.

Simply the Shit Shitter than all the rest Shitter than everyone

Someone start a 'What do our players taste like?' thread. I'm too scared of Dave.
