HawK

We're not shooting enough from the edge of the area, Cabaye was peppering the goal from distance early on, can't even remember his last effort now other than his goal against Wigan, although he has been playing deeper while Tiote's been out. Other than Ba off the post the closest we came to scoring on Saturday was Jonas who has notched several from outside the area for us, which goes to show you don't have to be Laurent Robert to have a dig. That was another reason actually which made Pardew's reasoning for not bringing HBA on on Saturday look even more ridiculous. An effort from range might have been the only way past Swansea's defence and we know how well he can hit them. While I'm not a huge fan of Jermain Defoe as a first XI striker, I love watching how easy it is for him when he picks the ball up 20 yards out, he makes it look like he could stick it in the corner 99 times out of 100 without the keeper getting near it. He doesn't have fantastic technique or a rocket shot but he hits it low, hard and into the corners and that generally gets the job done. In terms of technique, the way he hits a ball is completely wrong, he's like a pinball machine launcher with the plunger pulled all the way out constantly, out of no-where - PING - .. wtf did that come from? He does it damn well though, love it when he scores those goals that make the defence/goalkeeper scratch their heads.

I expected Ronaldo to say this sooner or later. Agree with Ronaldo.

That goal

Quick, do speed to bury the renaming

It's been quoted many, many times that this was the case. Educate one's self. I didnt personally suggest it did i, im not to bothered about what others have been quoted as thinking Eh? The reason he bought the club was to market his goods in the far east, using Newcastle as a marketing tool. SJH quoted as saying this when he sold his shares.

I thought his save from the bullet-header to his bottom right was top-drawer, to catch it as well. He made it seem so easy but many a keeper would have palmed that into danger and wouldn't have been blamed after making the initial stop.

Ryan Carlos

I like to have this thread around so we don't get carried away

5 more wins to (probable) safety! yay!

That is a dreadfully written, repetitive, bland piece of 'journalism'. Seen far, far better by average Joe Blogger.

Those 4 will be a massive loss for them. A lot will depend on how will Rodwell plays for them.

I actually think his throws are comparable to Delap's?

I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with S. Hmm.. Stoke Defenders? Nope..

That's probably true, and we'll see what happens against The Manc teams and Chelski, but you can only play what's put in front of you. Is it our fault the fixtures came out how they did?? It's already been said, but it's because we've put quite a few down there. If we didn't win today, Stoke are top half. Which is where quite a few people say they very well could end up at the end of the season (more the quality of the league than their actual quality). They talk about challenges like we're classing ourselves as an add-on to make it a top 7. We've coped with what we considered our most important challenges, f*** them. /Not that this hasn't been said a million times on here already, like. I like that viewpoint, they're bottom half cause they played Newcastle

That's probably true, and we'll see what happens against The Manc teams and Chelski, but you can only play what's put in front of you. Is it our fault the fixtures came out how they did?? We obviously should have complained and asked for all the top ten from last season away from home first. Without a single home game until Boxing day, which would then be vs Man Utd. Too easy. City? Na we tend to draw vs them at home, we're hopeless against Utd

Thought he was quite clumsy at times, hope he can work on that though

35m TO LIVERPOOL IN JANAUARY U HEARD IT HERE

I remember last season we had that very problem though, we were a match for any of the top 4/6 but just couldn't get the results against the dross. It's going to be interesting to see this season if we're as competitive with the top teams as last season.

I wouldn't be too worried, remember we were a one man team until January last season?

The word 'ug' comes to mind for some reason

6 more wins to (probable) safety! yay!
