I never put a single player of ours in there after last season. I think you were asking for trouble there mate with Colo and Cisse in particular.

It's no different to any other live coverage out there tbh.

Brilliant news. It's about time Sky had some real competition for these things.

"Pardew currently has a long-term deal on Tyneside and has done a good job since taking over in 2010."

Had a terrible week last week. I lost my head to head game by 4 points, and I didn't captain Aguero. Desperately need a win this weekend.

I think our squad is capable of beating them, but then you've Pardew who will more than likely go for the draw.

Better than last season (I think?), and probably the best we can hope for under Pardew. The mackem result was disgraceful, but I can't help but feel the mackems have that mental edge over Pardew now after two wins in a row, because we've been shambolic in both despite having a much better team. We've look absolutely terrible for the majority of the season, but football is a results game and we're doing pretty well considering we've a League One manager and a weak squad in terms of depth. It's hard to predict how the rest of the season will go having looked at the first ten games, because we've shown before under Pardew that we can suddenly hit terrible runs of form. Infact at this stage last year we started a run of two wins in 3 months. Off the pitch is once again a shambles that we've come to expect under Ashley.

Who wouldn't love to see that?

Derby also beat us when they went down ffs. We've rotten luck against bad sides, having said that Pardew has lost the mental edge in the derbies.

Anita saved his skin, because we were woeful up until that point, but he makes the decisions and he gets credit for that. Taking Cisse and Obertan on was just plain stupid. If he has to change it up like that then he can at least stick on someone who'll actually do something - Ben Arfa.

Shit, what a run that was.

I'm worried about Pardew's approach to the last 20 minutes here.

You reckon?

Chelsea's squad man.

Cisse. 14 league games without a goal, we're fucked up front this season.

Two absolute gifts there now, probably 3 if you count Shola's.

Oh my fucking god man

Tiote for fucks sake.

I hate how so many of our shots have zero height in them.

Can't see it happening myself. Chelsea are a million miles from us in terms of quality. They'll produce a few moments of quality yet in this game, especially in the second half when dat fatigue kicks in.

I love the awkward debates between the co-commentators and the referee commentating on BT Sport. "oh, ok "

Every time we go to the half way line we lose it. Such a shambles man.

If 100s do it are they going to kick them all out? It feels like the fans are kids at school in SJP with that shite.

I never get tired of reading that quote. The difference in class between Sir Bobby and these bastards in charge is unmeasurable.
