If Brazil dont win this it will be bye bye to Mano. We have easily the best squad. Beating all South American teams by like three-four goals. Neymar, Lucas, Ganso, Leandro Damiao will form a great attack. Add Coutinho to that and some good defenders like possibly Silva from Milan and Dede.

If this shit comes off...

Think it's just me a you on this one Last one was during a difficult time. It's noted...now lets re-vote Agreed. I voted 'OK' during that time, and I'd like the opportunity to change that please Same. Have an OK. Would like to vote CRAP.

Spot on as usual. There have been a lot of valid criticisms and discussion points, it never got daft barring a very few exceptions. In fact I actually think this has been one of the best threads this season because nearly all of the content was well balanced and argued. Despite our results and position, Pardew had questions asked about his selections, tactics and style of play (some of which were prompted by his own comments in the media) and he has answered them emphatically in the run-in. Dunno why some are so preoccupied with point-scoring. I think you're underplaying the level of criticism he was getting at times. You only have to go back to the Norwich game we won & Cisse missed two sitters in: http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,72878.21275.html You can count 4 or 5 different people suggesting he shouldnt even be our manager within the first 3 pages after a game we won to keep us in 6th man. It was ludicrous stuff. Only a few of us were actually backing him up at that point, the majority were not. The media will take any excuse to raise the idea of discontentment amongst our fans, let alone when we're doing well. If the criticism had gotten stronger & been held by more, you dont think that could have affected our season? I think it could have. Dont get me wrong, Pardew has done an excellent job this season, but I still dont think he should be free of criticism for his management in many games this season. He has been moronic, and while some stuff has taken time to readress I think he deserves credit for learning from most of his earlier mistakes. He is not a perfect manager, although he has proven to be very good this season. Whole club deserves credit though, even Fat Ashley.

10 straight unbeaten games at home. My criticism for Pardew was and I still think is justified for the way he set up our team couple of months back. However, ever since integrating Ben Arfa into the team and making it a more fluid system we have really been on a roll and all praise has to go to Alan for that. Couldnt dream of being where even 4weeks ago. Been really great to watch us since March. I guess every team hits a rough patch somewhere, and we seem to grow even stronger from rough patches.

Ive seen Debuchy play maybe twice. Was very good both times and my friend keeps on going how he rates him higher than Sagna and needs to start for France. (my friend is french).

Yes, for like a season. What is your point?

I just cant stop myself from getting disappointed if we dont get CL football next season. Dream is so close.

Well done Colo! Not surprised he deserved a place but definitely surprised he was picked! Was thinking the usual terry or Skrtel would go. Colo is a topclass and now its recognized around the league.

Shit result for us today. Was hoping for a deflated City team.

Oh yeah, because you have seen what? 2 games? Well done to Real btw. Deserve their title.

0-5. We will win this. Cisse, Ba, Ben Arfa against their three man backline. Its a fucking win win if we can get Simpson to calm Moses down.

Everyone has played well today. Easiest win of the season? Been so comfortable all day.

Wont win. there is no way this club can win 6 straight games. No matter how good we have been. Still think CL is a possibility even with a draw. Dont see why we cant beat a tired Chelsea, title deflated City and a nothing to play for Everton. (6p from the three is a possibility)

Who the fuck rates Clattenburg? terrible ref, just like the rest. Not one you can rate ffs.

Four Check out my edit before your post.

draw. Beating Wigan and Stoke would mean we are at least on the same point as Arsenal and Spurs and four points ahead of Chelsea with three games to go.

0-4 Barcelona tonight.

Corinthians failed with an attempt to sign Forlan from Inter apparently. Inter want 5m which Corinthians are unwilling to pay for a player of his age.

Look at me look at me I was at the Allianz arena... pathetic.

Neither Marcelo or Ramos tackle were red ffs. Replays show they were not that hard. Yellow was fair, and really dont think anyone deserved a red during the whole match. Hard tackles throughout but always from a different player.

I never defend a Real player, and neither do I defend Marcelo since I despise him whenever he plays in that white shirt. But replay shows a yellow was probably fair. Commentators and people unbiased people Im watching with me agree. Seemed harsher than it really was.
