Can't wait to see him line up beside Ba!

Joseph Barton He's here Cassius Joseph Barton. 7 pound 3 oz. Mother and baby are fine. Wow what a blessing that is....... #quivereringwreck

Why though? Most clubs the size of NUFC can afford such purchases before selling their soul, if they need them, which we do.

I've got 2 of those god damn mugs. Seriously, what is that all about? Giving away HUGE mugs for free

He is being stubborn. He said he would play Ben Arfa up front off the striker and just refuses to play him anywhere else now. It is clear as day that he needs to play instead of Obertan out wide, everyone can see it except Pardew.

Tactics have been shocking as well. Its the same old stuff, and when it isnt working there is no plan B.

Well the wheels and well and truly come off haven't they? Sickens me that we didn't bounce back from playing last seasons top 3. People can say "but we're still on 27 points", "look at the table, I'd have taken that at Christmas" etc, but the fact is we got 1 point from what should have been 6 in our last two games. Getting good results at the start of the season doesn't mean we're allowed to get bad ones now.

.co.uk radio down for anyone else?

Trying Ben Arfa on the wing?

Ben Arfa

West Brom definitely have another goal in them

Mick? Yeah, I actually thought I wrote that too

Mike fucking Lowes screamed "WHAT A GOAL!!" when Vuckic took that strike man.

Spoke too soon as always Get in there!

We're gonna get tanked about 3-0 if we dont sort this out. West Brom creating everything decent.

Reid coming off. Good news for us.

Best fucked already?

@Dan_Macpherson Typical answer from a muppett fan. You really are clueless.

They wont be able to find one and we'll have to use Sports Direct on the shirt. No one wants to sponsor an English Premier League club sure, thats why we couldn't sell the stadium package in the 2 years it's been for sale.

Is Williamson back for this? We have to win this, we haven't won in 5 games now and the 2 games after this are both away from home. 30 points on Christmas would be brilliant, but no Cabaye is worrying.

It was clear that the game plan wasn't working after about 15 minutes of the second half, that is when the manager needs to change things and he didn't. He went like for like putting Shola on and then put two unproven youngsters on. It's just poor by the manager really. From what I have seen of Pardew he just seems clueless on match days. It doesn't seem like he knows how to change the game or that he has a plan B or plan C, its the same thing week after week, even the exact same subs every week with Sammy on for Obertan. Theres no doubt Pardew has done a good job with the players behind the scenes, getting them playing well and getting the confidence up, but match days are a real concern for me. People might also take today's result because we are still on 27 points and have had a good start, but that doesn't mean we didn't drop 2 points today.

Felt like Souness was in the dug out today.

Should we really be relying on youngsters when there are older, more proven players to pick? Vuckic in the middle is a big gamble.
