Is Anita getting pardewed?

Mariner got a signed Gerrard shirt..

We should sign this Yanga-Mbiwa guy, he looks absolutely class.

Obertan our man of the match. Cabella worst man of the match closely followed by the rest of our team.

Thought Josh Sims looked good for England u18 against Holland from the clips I saw. Reminded me of a you Michael Owen(before he found his horses)

Hate pardew...

Not having that. How do you explain the fact Colo, possibly even more of a ball playing defender, is untouchable under Pardew? Please don't tell Pardew that Colo is a defender

Bellamy was way more effective, for sure and for a period he was probably our most important player. Dyer had similar problems to HBA I guess. But then neither of them has/had the status Ben Arfa seem to have amongst Newcastle supporters, despite doing way more for the team (Bellamy). That's simply not true. Ben Arfa is moreso because it's ongoing and not ten years ago. Bellamy was absolutely worshipped amongst those who could see what he was worth on the field and it upset me for years afterwards seeing him play for others. I was very much in the Bellamy camp but there was a sizeable proportion of Newcastle fans who backed Souness 100%, and offered some of the exact same arguments - bad attitude, nobody likes him etc. Morons then and morons now. Was there really fans who backed Souness 100% back then? I remember I was gutted when he left for Celtic, and I had a hope that Souness would get sacked before he got back so he would still have a future here. Still getting depressed thinking we went from Sir Bobby Robson to Greame Souness.. Back to the topic, I hope we keep Ben Arfa and that we get a good manager in.

That Valbuena guy on France looked very good

Outscored by Shola Ameobi...

Dont jinx it, he isn't gone yet!

He only backs him because that means another season without signings. No other manager would accept that.

The big question is, can he shoot? Cant remember seeing him hit a decent shot on goal since he came here. Back to your question, he cleared the ball over their goal after the Cisse chance.

All were straight on the goalkeeper(except the goal)

Same team till we're under 1-0. Then ameobi comes on for de jong...

We should have taken cisse off in the First half.. We have been strugle to play the ball all day. Tvist game have been crying for a 5 man midfield, and now shola ameobi is comming on :/

At left back? Striker? My mistake, thought you were continuing the Dummett conversation. Nope commented on Steven Taylor.

At left back? Striker?

Cant believe he is picked before MYM..

1. Sack Joe Kinnear 2. Ban Joe Kinnear and Mike Ashley from our beloved stadium.

Man City would have easily won the midfield battle and put 2-3 goals past us. Have to disagree. They struggled to cope with Ben Arfa for even 10 minutes. Anita/Tiote had the midfield battle in their pockets, wasn't until Anita came off we stopped picking up the second balls and lost control. Cabaye was the one who was looking ineffective behind Remy from an attacking point of view. I don't like Cabaye in that role at all. Me either, don't think we really have one. Would have liked to seen Marv dropped in there for 15 minutes against City though. Does anyone else than Pardew like Cabaye in that role?

Please sell

the ref got some arabic money in his pocket..

Cisse is looking like Ali Dia atm...

Kudos to Marijo Strahonja to give the second yellow card to Marseilles Payet for diving. More ref should punish divers imo..
