If we have to play a kid in the middle of our defence then so be it, it's not as if the mackems are going to batter us with balls lobbed into the middle for 90 minutes. If the kid is mentally tough enough then he'll do OK, if he's not then he's no good for us anyway. Every player should relish playing in this match, regardless of age. I might be worried if we were making loads of changes and playing a few players who weren't experienced but we're not.

He would have been slaughtered if he'd let Suarez go through on the keeper.

1 Trevor?

I clapped him off because from where I was sitting it looked like he'd played well and been sent off harshly. I still think it was harsh but I wouldn't have clapped him off if I'd seen him putting his hand on Suarez because that was asking for a card.

Ignorance is not bliss, I think.

I have no idea either. Glad i'm not alone then Click the link.

After the first 10 games of last season we were below West Ham, West Brom and Fulham. Is that really the standard you would expect?

Our movement is shocking when Ben Arfa has the ball, that was no different yesterday. At one point he had the ball and 4 Liverpool players on him and he had nobody to pass to, he ended up losing it while looking for a pass which was never possible.

The load bang couldn't have been a smoke bomb as it didn't create any smoke.

Gifting the mackems points will be as bad as when we gifted Derby points under Allardyce or Reading under Pardew.

I think they expected to roll us over and couldn't respond when they weren't doing so.

The goal was perfectly taken and the bounce just in front of the keeper ensured he was never going to save it.

If Villa get a point today we'll be in exactly the same position as we were last season after the same number of games. Hopefully we can carry on picking up points and avoid dropping away from where we are.

The bit in bold seems to be a new thing which has come about because of the sky habit of finding morons who would actually say it, probably without actually thinking we were going to. I found that people were amazed that we would keep going back to watch us, regardless of the results and I've had fans of other clubs come to our games with me and become Newcastle fans. When I lived in the midlands I took a full car to every game and only me and my brother were originally Newcastle fans. The others became fans because they loved the day out and they loved the match because of the fans. I met some Barnsley fans on holiday and stopped with them when we played them away. They came in our end and have been Newcastle fans ever since and love the club, again because of the day out rather than the football.

I've worked away from home 3 times in 3 different places in 2 different countries and have never heard a bad comment about our fans other than the club don't deserve us and we're thick for following it.

I've generally found Arsenal fans to be a good set of fans, I think the way some of them went on earlier this season about Wenger was nuts though.

I saw them do it in the Milburn corner of the Gallowgate, utter morons. I could hear a lot of booing at the same time.

We'll win by 2 goals if we turn up wanting it.

Of course I'm daft, I didn't know Suarez got a win bonus for a draw.

And most call it the Kop, it's no biggy, it just looks weird when given it's full name.

You shouldn't go down unless you have no way of staying on your feet.

He wasn't fouled, he made it look as if he was. The hand on him didn't cause him to go down, his reaction to it did. I think he would have scored anyway if he'd stayed on his feet. He had no right to fall, falling isn't a right.

He gets a win bonus for a draw? Did he know he was getting a draw at the time? So he'll get a win bonus because he thought that he would at the time? OK.

Nobody ever called it that, the only ground where I can remember the fans calling an end the Spion Kop was Coventry.
