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.

Just like Marmite Marmite doesn't taste different with each bite, you either love it or hate it, approx 50/50. Therefore Nolan is Marmite.

Shola

Nolan is so funny when we are attacking set pieces.

Sam Allardyce in disguise.

People talk about the Jonas Jose partnership, but I think the Barton Simpson partnership is even better.

We don't need another right winger. Get that striker.

Just seen the replay. It was planned.

This was Butt-esque in its amazingness so needs its own thread. :colo:
