  1. Fucker should be galvanizing the club, the players, etc before this kick off.
  2. Reserve judgement until after the match, but I can't help but feel HBA should be starting given how brilliant he was, unplayable, versus Stoke and his cameo versus CP. But I'm happy with the lineup though. Me, would have HBA over Anita and MYM over Santon but hey, let's have a go. (We surely can't be the only set of supporters who shit themselves weekly based on Pardew's team selections, right? Fucking hell it's stressful)
  3. I think we'll get points tomorrow. On a brilliant run of form and I can see Ben Arfa and Cabaye putting in match winning performances. We will need our fullbacks to be extremely cautious when attacking, and our midfield will need to do extra work on the defensive side if Hatem does start. Fear nobody at home, that should be our mindset - a rocking SJP tomorrow is going to set the stage for what hopefully is 3 points. HTL.

    Yohan Cabaye retires

    Another one on Sunday please. Hope we take the match to those fucking pricks at Arsenal. Sounding out Wenger every year those fools only to be eating their own words every year.
  5. NBC Sports....Arlo White referenced the premier teams who Sunderland has beaten this season and was nice to see us in that bracket broadcasted to the American viewers.
  6. Still a bit bemused to see anyone in that ground who supports Cardiff wearing that red...
  7. Yorkie's lineup with one of Santon or MYM at LB for me. I would set us up the exact same way defensively and using HBA in a havoc causing role.
  8. I like him - he just really, really needs to work on that left foot of his. His cutting-in 99% of the time when he has acres of space out wide is absolutely poor imo.

    St James' Park

    Nice one. Probs best to avoid sitting near the majority off here. Tickets secured in the Gallowgate. So f***ing pumped. Despite the draw, what an experience and what a magnificent stadium. Even my wife had a fantastic time. I got chills seeing it from the train as we pulled into the city. I love how it appears, almost as if out of nowhere, as you drive around Newcastle. Standing at the bottom of the Gallowgate at field level looking up at the Leazes End is a sight to behold. To make the weekend even better, on Sunday my cousin took us to the training ground. I just wanted to see where it was and get a picture in front of the gates. Well, the gates were open so we drove in. I got out to take a quick picture, expecting to be kicked out at any second. The security guard came out and my cousin yells "he's come from America!" After chatting for a few minutes he invited us in for a tour. Showed us the training schedule, game room, cafeteria and back patio looking out to all of the training pitches, physio room, Pardew's office and changing room (he had left some dirty socks on the floor), and the coaches office. He wasn't allowed to show us the dressing room, which would have been icing on the cake, but certainly no complaints. All in all, what a weekend in the Toon. I'll have to remember this whenever I get my chance to come out to Newcastle.
  10. Most may not agree, and replacing Santon when we are winning is probably mad - but I remember last season to end the campaign, MYM played LB and used his pace well by pretty much keeping Walcott under wraps. I'd be happy with that given he'd sit further back and attack less. Although many will probably point to the poor match he had versus Man City. Krul Debuchy Williamson Coloccini Yanga-Mbiwa Ben Arfa Sissoko Tiote Cabaye Gouffran Remy But I'd be thrilled with the above and perfectly content with Santon or Haidara playing LB.

    Massadio Haïdara

    Noticed his pace the most last night and has a good set of moves on him when he has the ball -- determined and knows what he wants to do with it.
  12. Ben Arfa's run that ended up with a smack of the crossbar. His acceleration is insane.
  13. He's a lovely all-around player who scores strikers goals. Class player - I've said it before that France could do with a player like him in their squad.

    Hatem Ben Arfa

    It was definitely one of them, like. There was no threat so he had complete freedom, moreso than he's ever had for us. Didn't disappoint, either. Could have had two absolutely stonking goal and was so unlucky not to see at least one go in. The 2nd solo run man, holy shit.
