Feck off! Swansea did f*** all for 40 minutes of the second half! nowt to do with laudrup - we outplayed them, missed easy chances and they got a scruffy goal at the end Don't let common sense cloud your judgement. Laudrup is 347563457324956 times the manager Pardew will ever be and he should be managing us!!!!11!!!!!!! Not on the evidence of that game. Laudrup got lucky, and you're a tool.

Feck off! Swansea did f*** all for 40 minutes of the second half! Spot on. They were gash. Which makes the result even more of a p*sser.

Far, far less dangerous than the Swansea challenge.

Another joke of a referee. Brian Little can also f*** right off.

Nani doesn't seem to be in SAF's first team. When talking attacking players that aren't strikers. It's Mata, Bale, Fellaini, Cazorla, Michu. In the slightly lower performing bracket it's Hazard, Walcott, Lennon, Silva based on this season. HBA hasn't played enough or scored/assisted enough to belong in that top bracket, arguably hasn't played enough to be in that second category. At the moment, he's Bryan Ruiz, Nasri status due to the injuries. Stop, start, season. Hasn't "grown" much at this point this season. Still there's loads of games left. Bryan Ruiz??? Injuries or not, HBA has produced considerably more than him. Ask fans of ANY opposition club who they rate higher..

Half a yard my arse. If that's half a yard, I'm packing 18 inches...

I've never seen a post saying that Cisse isn't trying hard enough. I think 99% of people on here recognise that he just needs a couple of goals to get him going again. Straw man. A couple of goals like tonight, you mean. No, ones which are given. He'll be even more frustrated now. Which of course you understand. My point is that he's clearly back in form - beat the offside trap three times, finished well twice. On reflection, reckon it'll be a confidence booster for him. You understand.

Only beat it - decisively - three times tonight.

Just watch the chance Bale missed in the first half tonight. He's shite him...

At no point during that final move did Shola set foot in the box. Ambling about without a care in the f****in' world. Meanwhile, Cisse makes up 20 yards on a hunch and almost gets us a priceless winner, yet people slag him...

I was instinctively convinced this useless f****r With Benny back, I'd fancy us to score over there. What's their pitch like? We're abysmal on poor pitches. Should be decent if it was a Euro2012 venue?

Sissoko v Papa. That would be some rumble...

How much better are we with Marveaux on...

From RTG re their attendance yesterday (despite widespread talk of freebies having been handed out)... "46,400 and summit, tremendous effort. Best fans in the world in terms of numbers in comparison to success."

Still trying to get my head round anyone genuinely believing Andy Carroll is no better than Danny Graham. For his size, Carroll is also no slouch. Ask Michael Turner and Titus. How easily folk on here forget.

Caulkin was the first to shed light on today's happy development.

Yes. Personally I think it's Haidara, he looks short and stocky. Definitely NUFC property - the guy with the moustache on the extreme left is a long-time club security guard.

Mira scored via a deflection in a 2-2 draw at Man Utd too, I recall. Absurd player, really. Would shoot from anywhere. Out Oba'd Oba. I still have my NUFC/Brazil ski hat...

I've seen livelier passengers than Jonas in the disabled seats.

Lets hope It's a lad. Get a pre contract signed. The son he already has started training with our U7 academy kids aged 5. A right little hard nut, according to a lad I know who coached him.

Ollie Bainbridge. Aged 8. Plays for Harton & Westoe Vipers. Already swapped SAFC Academy for Man City. Best young player North East scouts have seen for a decade, apparently.

If we were to loan Lescott, for example, until May, I wouldn't be too against that. Still need another centre-back on top of that though. Lescott makes perfect sense to try and get on a loan, we really need to try and make that happen. No way will we stump up anything significant for his wages. He's on almost 100k-a-week...
