Yeh i watched that. He sounded like he didn't really want to leave. Didn't realise he scored so many scorchers. When he left he said something along the line that he'd rather play for Liverpool in the UEFA cup than for NUFC in the CL. Really? Don't remember that at all.....

Really hope it is Jonas

Hmmm, well that's my clean sheet bonus gone for Walker on Sky Sports Fantasy Football.

Papering over the cracks really.

Had a good look at him didn't he,cowardly c***. This and that dive last week, horrible cheating cnut Larsson like. What exactly happened, I missed the incident.... When flying into Lowe with his elbow, essentially. Knew what he was doing. Larsson is a f***ing prick like. Also has a c***-ish face to go with his personality. Deserves a punch to that face.

The media will have a field day tomorrow, fwapping over O'Neill.

As much as Steve Kean didn't have much choice in the second half (forced subs and all that), still can't excuse the shite tactics he has employed in the second half.

Cock.

Booooo.

Nervous times tbh.

16 goal attempts to 3 (Mackems:Blackburn)

Probably been asked before, what is up with O'Neill having 31 on his top?

Well in ref.

Great save.

Indeed - the contract extension was a value maximiser. I guess so.....

Still clinging onto hope that we'll have Tiote starting for us next season. Just thinking that we did give him a 6 year contract so could yet stay? I'm possibly clutching at straws here considering Ashley's history.

;D Welcome to Sunderland Martin.

I expect that move to be Anelka's final payday tbh. Much like Butt and his move to Hong Kong.

Anyone know much about Coulibaly?

Fantastic.

Just got in from having lunch in town. How's the mackem game going?

Same as you. Rodge Johnson got 0. p*ssed off because I thought Caulker was still injured. I'm 141st in the N-O league but think I'll continue persisting. Just need one great weekend and I'll be up and running again.

Have made this point in the Pards thread, but who would you have brought him on for at 3-2 down? Pardew has already made the 'Ben Arfa will only play as a number 10' comment - so I think it's very hard to find a place for him on the pitch when we've only got 10 men. If he'd been brought on for Gosling after the 3rd goal, with Cabaye dropping off to anchor the midfield, that would have been a smart move IMO. I would have brought Ben Arfa on for Obertan. I've seen your point in the Pardew thread about a half of football not being enough for Pardew to suddenly change his mind about Ben Arfa and his playability on the wing. A point which I agree with but I just thought that if Ben Arfa had come on for Obertan, he could have played behind the strikers with Cabaye and Jonas covering the defensive positions on the right and left wings respectively when Norwich were attacking. Wow, that's a helluva tactical change - what formation would we have been playing at that point? (and how many times do you think the players would have walked through that scenario in training?) It would have been a 4-2-1-2 at that point. Could have had Shola helping out the midfield too. Desperate times called for desperate measures and we were chasing the game so I would have gone with that.
