This confuse anyone? http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=535869&page=4

Huh? By showing how good we are without him? Bizarre logic. Where did I say that? We are looking a much more stable side and club off the field. He's better than Simpson at RB, I'd say he probably knows that, the chance to play in a settled side could do wonders for his England chances he'd be crazy to go elsewhere now. Even more so when you consider how short England are on RB's. I know Simpson was the weak link last season especially towards the end, but he was carrying an injury and has done well since coming back. Don't write him off yet!

I put the start due to the game being at a tempo he could have never expected or played in. Once he worked that out he was great as usual.

I wanted it for Shola, he's never let us down from the spot when it has matterred. He's better than Shearer. Just to clarify.. better than Shearer AT PENALTIES

Even the Dulux advert is NUFC themed.

Wouldn't look out of place on a goal of the month competition.

What is the best penalty you've ever seen then? For me, Shola Ameobi for Newcastle vs Sunderland, 31st October 2010.

Once Tiote worked out how high tempo the game is we've been incredible.

Give him a 100 year contract!

Two to go...

I think it is a cultural thing as Krul distributes the ball very well.

He was good for most the game. BUT For the goal, before Cole had the ball it was obvious where it was going to go. A world class keeper would have thrown himself across the goal before the ball even reached Cole's feet, taken the gamble that Cole would have hit it first time right in front of him which he did. There would have been no guarantee of saving it, but the probability would have been a lot higher. However Harper wouldn't have done that either.

That would have been the best goal in history.

Probably told to play like that in fairness. No point winning the ball back if he'll just keep losing it.

Tiote has been fantastic again today.

Great Cruyff turn by Tiote

He's fine man. The only criticism I have of him as that he can sometimes venture into central midfield which could hurt us on the counter.

I thought Krul could have at least tried diving before Cole even attempted the shot. You knew where the ball was going to go!

Shola is actually much better at leading the line than Carroll.

Could be much much much worse.

Williamson wasn't surplus to requirements for Avram Grant, he wasn't allowed to play!

Why hasn't Carroll been given assist points on the FF?

How many more until Messi drinks his piss?

1 more than Routledge tbh!
