Indeed, good appointment though imho.

So he wants to play in the PL......that's done it then. Bring him in! Like I pretty much said on the previous page, hopefully the existence of our French contingent will be a key factor in our favour and will persuade him to come here.

This is getting a bit boring but this is my input: Ben Arfa should be starting games, it's as simple as that. Pardew's handling of this whole affair (comments in public instead of private, etc.) is definitely one thing which I disagree with but to suggest that Pardew shouldn't be managing the club because of such a situation is quite laughable imo. This may be massive wishful thinking on my part but I'm pretty certain Pardew wants to play Ben Arfa in the team but for unknown reasons (we really don't know what's going on behind the scenes), it's simply not happening. Hmmm. Mind you though, I'll go as far as to say that I'm confident Ben Arfa has a future here. I say, let's wait and see what happens between now and the end of the season - on the one hand, the situation could improve very favourably or on the other, the situation deteriorates, ie. he doesn't get into the team even though the likes of Cabaye and Tiote are in the side.

I agree with your line of thinking actually.

Not a bad idea like! City council should do it tbh. in massive f***ing writing across the stands I reckon they should put up massive St. James' Park street signs where the original sign was. (Maybe a street sign right by Shearer's too).

Not a bad idea like! As far as I'm aware, don't think there's a strict law as such prohibiting lit projections. (I'm only guessing btw, I'm not a law expert).

Definitely like the look of this and aye, it should be the team for every game!

Nice.

A man running himself over reminds of this:

What, like this? http://i.imgur.com/C7enE.png Good ol' Sheffield. I lived on Edward Street in my first year of uni (that area used to be the Red Light District.....)

Really can't see that happening imo. The risks of such a proposal would be too great - for one thing, the fans would actually stop going to games and as a result, Ashley would literally lose money by the second. There's no "business" without its customers.

But those kids will have Dad's like us, if my two call it anything other than St James' Park then i'll put them right.........hopefully all other parents will too, that or we will just call in Social Services That's the hope! In any case, anyone who lives in Newcastle/is a Newcastle fan should call it St. James' Park. The issue comes from others who have a vendetta against us and will call it SDA to spite us (such as some people in the media, *cough* BBC *cough*). I just ignore most media outlets as most have an agenda of one sort or another, we know what its called and so will my kids anyhoo. It's hard to ignore the media these days like. So, unfortunately their insistence of using the SDA will annoyingly pop up from time to time (the BBC being the main culprit really). But like you say, we all know what it's called so the name won't be completely lost (regionally anyway). Having said that though, I can understand Wullie's concerns as the name, St. James' Park is likely to be lost in the mainstream in the future. I'm an non Geordie, now i would think most who are and support us would never use SDA, and pass that on to their kids and so on. I'm not as worried about being lost in the mainstream, over the last few years the utter nonsense spouted by them about us, is something i've ignored for years anyway. That's the hope mate! The name will live on for many years to come amongst our support but I'm one of those who would prefer it if it wasn't completely lost in the mainstream. Guess I should follow your lead and ignore what the media says really.

However, the issue comes from others who have a vendetta against us and will call it SDA to spite us (such as some people in the media, *cough* BBC *cough*) - this could lead to the potential loss of the name in the mainstream media.

Went for dinner there and I've come back to the laptop to Liverpool winning 6-1!? 3 own goals too, woah!

Alan Green going apeshit about the Carroll - El-Abd "battle".

Was just about to post the same thing! Having those two in the final will indeed be of a massive benefit to our chances of European qualification.

Everton vs the mackems.

Quarter Final Draw time. Yay (meh).

Rush of blood to the head! Credit to Stevenage today btw.

Nice one Parker.

Sounds good actually.

Opta Sports @OptaJoe 0 - Stevenage haven’t conceded a goal in the FA Cup this season whilst Spurs have kept 3 clean sheets in their last 4 FA Cup games. Blank.

Indeed, not been his best game.
