What ridiculous thinking. If we're going to sign someone they might as well be better than what we have. Until we have the best two centre backs around, we should always be looking to improve, with consideration of other positions of course. When you just try and sit still, its when you get left behind.

There was stuff coming down on our own fans, from our own fans at Bolton.

Hilarious reading Red and White Kop. Total denial. Theyre still trying to claim that Suarez was using a friendly term towards Evra, whilst nipping him, waiting for a corner, in one of the most heated derbies in the world.

Brilliant performance. Hope to fuck this back 4 stay fit all season.

Santon is a left back with 7 Italy caps and many games in the Champions League. If an out of position Ryan Taylor (who's very average in his proper position) is a better option than him at left back, we're going wrong somewhere. Vuckic and Best ahead of Ben Arfa too. Its ridiculous.

If he's not then why did we pay £5m for him? He's a prospect. He hasn't done anything to be labelled better than Simpson...yet. Seriously, what's he done? Ran down wing a few times and that makes him better than someone who's played 80+(?) games for the club. Lets get Ramage back then.

Exactly. £15million of the £35million 'stayed in the club' and went on Tiote's contract. Erm, what about the contract that Carroll had signed about 2 months earlier? Funny how the club take someones wage out of the £35million, but don't count the saving in the wages of the player sold. Not the club lying, but being clever with the way they present information.

Getting sick of this fuckin 'blueprint' on transfers tbh. I can see the logic in it, but it just can't be a fit all rule. This blueprint left us without a centre back when we played Norwich. There has to be some consideration on the actual team as well as looking to make a profit on every single signing. The wage cap is fair enough, but simply throwing away points because we're short in some positions hardly helps the club progress. And im not on about buying superstars.

A few decent looking tackles shouldn't mask the fact that for both the 2nd an 3rd goals he left his man and was ball watching. Colo had a poor game, but at least he has a track record. Bramble used to put in the odd Hollywood tackle, it didn't make his general defending any better.

He's giving goals away in nearly every game. An utterly terrible defender. Championship standard at very best. Other than that tackle at the start I thought he was fuckin shit. His aimless long balls under pressure were painful too.

Not sure when we turned the corner from playing football to just bypassing midfield and punting long aimless balls at the strikers. So frustrating.

Its starting to get ridiculous. Especially when Sammy is getting on in every game and doing fuck all.

Has to play ahead of Alan Smith. Bet he doesnt though. Smith would probably be better at centre back than Perch mind.

I think they'll win pretty comfortably today. Blackburn are horrific.

Obertan had a game like he did today and you single out Jonas. For f***s sake take off your rose tinted f***ing glasses. Obertan may have had a poor game, but he still outshone Jonas by a country mile. Jonas provided no threat whatsoever. One of the most clueless comments ive ever seen on here. You probably get a hard-on when someone does a step over. And yet again another clueless warrior. Tell me what Jonas created ffs. He won two free kicks in good positions, put one good ball in in the first half, and helped defend. He also layed the ball off to Santon and Cabaye on a number of occasions, supporting them on decent runs. Obertan didnt do any of that. All he did was hold up play when we could counter, failed to release the ball early enough, created no chances and ran down blind alleys all day long. He did nothing. Everything negative about his performance.

Berwick Rangers as im from Berwick and watch them when I can, and Darlington as I was at college there. Not as interesting since they left Feethams though. Not really that arsed about anyone else. Juve maybe because of their black and whiteness and them beating Kiev to help us qualify in the Champions League.

The most embarrassed ive been by any fan this season was a guy in his 40s being a total cunt in the pub at Villa, ripping down Irish flags and screaming abuse at barstaff. Its not just young people.

Every clubs got a twat like that. Even at Berwick theres an idiot who stands at every game with a black and gold kilt on, flashing his bits at anyone who will take notice. He's even there when its -10. Badge man at Liverpool, Sheff Weds tango man, that fat bastard dancer at Southampton, the Pompey tit. We seem to have a few trying to draw attention to themselves, like whipping their shirts off at any opportunity to show the world their fat guts and shit tattoos. Last season it was that ginger lad from Alnwick, this season him with the Tyne Bridge of his gut, for a while that beefy. But they're harmless really.

He came across badly on Radio Newcastle. Lets not fool ourselves. There will be no new sponsor. It will be the Sports Direct Arena, and thats what they hope it will be from now on without having to pay anything for the right.

I'd like to thank David Cameron for telling me what I think on the poppy issue. I thought the opposite, but glad he's corrected me.

I still can't understand all these pundits who thought we would be down there getting relegated. I didn't think we would do half as well as we did, but with some of the utter pish in this league, no way did I think we would be anywhere near relegation. Even when we did get relegated the last time, it took self destruction of the highest order, over and over to finish 3rd bottom.

Poor article. Quite a few people on here could probably do just as well of a job of covering Newcastle as that idiot.

What?!
