The left hand side lets the whole team down.

Crystal Palace are apparently in for M'Vila.

That's never a red.

Didn't we spend about the same as Aston Villa?

I agree.  I'm delighted with the way the suqad is being managed at the moment, everyone who is playing is generally paying well, and those who aren't seem desperate to be included.  I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that a good manager knows how to manage his players in terms of keeping them happy and getting them to perform, but it does take some getting used to after Pardew and McClaren.

Surprising that many are questioning and countering the decision of the only good manager we have had since SBR, whose decision making has us finally functioning both like a real team and a real club. And has us sitting at the top of the table with the striker people want to see dropped being the league's top scorer.

 

Is all this love for Mitro really worth, as Thomas asked, disrupting all we have achieved this year? For what, because he's a more likeable lad than Gayle?

 

And this whole "well he's only scored so many because Mitro hasn't been given the same amount of games" is confusing and tedious.

 

Keep it simple, like all other teams do: as soon as Gayle hits a bad patch of form, we will have a very capable and hungry replacement who will come in and aim to make that spot his own, until he himself gets sent off or hits bad form, ad infinitum.

While my first choice in this formation would Be Gayle, I wonder if your point about discrupting the team could also be applied to dropping a striker who has scored 4 gols in the last two games?  Surely, unless there are concerns over his fitness, Mitrovic has earned the right to start tyhe next game?

Does Radio Newcastle have commentary on DAB?

 

Yup but not streaming online...which boils my p*ss.

 

Is there anywhere online to hear this other than through NUFCTV membership?

 

There's a guy on Reddit who streams all the radio commentary. I'll pop the link in here before kick off if you'd like.

 

That would be great, thanks.

Sounds a decent option to me.  Rafa clearly wants to play with a target man so we will need someone as backup for when Mitrovic is suspended/out of form.  I'm not sure who people think we should/could be signing as a third choice striker when we are in the championship?  It is either someone like this with experience or a young striker on loan who could be hit or miss.  As a short term stop gap I would go with experience every time.  Once were back in the premier league we can start looking at potential again.

Aye, me too.  I think pretty much the whole end will be away fans in any case.

for anyone still wanting tickets in the neutral end there are now a load availble in the block next to the away section.  It looks like they had planned to an empty strip of seats between the neutral and away fans, but i guess they have ditched that idea since they  saw the demand for tickets.

I think Rooney will retire from international football tonight

I think he should retire from all football based on the way he is playing tonight

Is there not some legal issue with Sunderland knowingly having a self admitted nonce in a workplace where he will often come into contact with minors?

what are the two charges that he has claimed he is not gulity of?

Telegraph reckons we'll turn to Matt Phillips of QPR if we can't agree townsend fee.

i'd much rather have him anyway

Alli should get a yellow for that.

He's a nasty, dirty shit but gets away with it because he's the current England golden boy.

Did Cattermile just get booked after the final whistle?

Appalling today.  I have lost count of the times he has been pressing on his own too far up the pitch and left us exposed in the middle.

sounds very promising.

They gave us 3.5m for Pards.

Then stop f***ing spouting off stats that don't mean s***

But he doesn't lose the ball that often. Abeid under Carver was much worse for that. People here just spout any crap. I provide logic.

 

If you think Tiote doesn't lose the ball often, your logic is as sound as your opinion of Cabella's towering height.

 

Tiote - 81.7

Anita - 81.1

 

 

He might lose the ball more times a match due to having the ball more. But he doesn't lose it more often.

Is that pass completion?  Does that include all the times he holds on to the ball, spins around a bit beofre being tackled?

What isn't funny about that?

 

I mean who doesn't enjoy a good look alike

 

You are not serious, right? Anyway it doesn't make sense to discuss if someone's too ignorant

 

Alright mate, put your tampon back in.
