How is that not jailtime? Unrelated crimes but my friend was ran over by another friend, he died of his injuries in hospital. The driver fled the scene leaving him dying in the road and he still didn't do any time.

We're dropping like flies man, flies!!!!

Really hope Taylor is OK, very brave of him going for that challenge.

We need Stubbsy on the case!!

I always get the impression that Dowd genuinely think fans are there to watch him. I thought the same for Rob Stiles.

Dowd couldn't wait to give that pen, I fucking hate the cunt.

We are officially in Redknapp time

Come on man, are you forgetting the one decent game he has every twelve

Surely we can't be stupid enough to play Ameobi again. He's been absolutely turgid of late.

Feels like RTG

It's like playing with 10 men.

Surely their hatred should be solely at Jimmy Hill rather than Coventry though.

Has this old Raphael Honigstein article been posted by anyone yet? It looks a decent read. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/raphael_honigstein/12/08/freiburg.papiss.cisse/index.html

Is anyone back yet? How did he play in general? He sounded a class above on the radio.

How much do they make out of shirts sales? If it is a tidy sum then surely they wouldn't be daft enough to put sports direct on the shirts, they would lose loads of sales.

Are they booing Ben Arfa?

I thought he did well today, and I'm sure he'll only get better with every game.

Can you buy that shirt?

Pardew has said he sees Abeid playing a roll when Cheick is away with the African cup of nations. It will be interesting how he does in the first team, he looks really promising. http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/10/23/abeid-could-get-nod-when-tiote-s-away-for-cup-79310-29642108/

Took the first header really well, it looked like the ball was played slightly behind him but the way he adjusted his body to direct the header was excellent.

Especially for UK IP addresses.

Does the commentary on BBC Radio Newcastle stop at kick off online? Even for UK IP addresses?

Every year there seems to be a team that struggles in the league, but does well in a cup. Probably because the usual pressure of the league is off them. I hope Blackburn aren't this years team.
