Fat Sam shouldn't be allowed to manage any team the thieving bast***

Mitro failed on the big stage yesterday when the pressure was on. Nothing changes

It was just a cheeky kick at Dawson in response to Dawson standing on him. No violence or intention to hurt anyone

That finish against Man City was class

New owners at Liverpool drove him out the door so no guarantees that wouldn't happen here.

Don't know why we have this thread. When have we ever done 'Realistic'

I think he has a great attitude and is getting better all of the time. No doubt his weaknesses will be being worked on by Rafa and the coaching staff

Tomasson was a really intelligent player and a perfect No 10. Unfortunately because of Shearers injury he was pushed into playing as a No 9 so we never really saw the best of him

He's playing better for us and under Rafa than he ever did at Chelsea. There fans didn't rate him at all.

It is a credit to Rafa and his staff how few injuries we seem to get compared to the treatment room being packed out during the reign of previous managers

He brings so much confidence to our defense, constantly marshaling them

He also created our first goal

We were coasting at 2-0 and I would imagine that Rafa removed Gayle in case he got injured, bearing in mind that he is the only fit goalscorer that we have. Shelvey played well for 60 minutes and did a lot of work so was knackered towards the end. I think in these cases we need to defend further up the pitch not along the 18 yard line. However, a good point and a lot of credit to Bournemouth who have been having a good run including beating Chelsea 3-0

Bloody hell, so we are the only team that misses chances. Played really well for 75 minutes, any of those chances had gone in we would be singing their praises

If Stones was £50 mil then Lascelles is worth a £100 mil . Doubt if Ashley would sell for a £100 mill because he would put the future of the club first

Tough one this. On their day Bournemouth play some good football and are very good on the break. I'd be thrilled with a win but happy with a draw

The only success that McLeish had was with Rangers and if anyone on this Forum had managed Rangers or Celtic in that era they would have been successful. He was a total failure in the Premier league so managing Scotland with no expectations or chance of success is ideal for him.

WBA players are unhappy with Pardews methods according to BBC teletext

An outlet with pace who can finish...........................Murphy??

Clark gives more goals away than Colbeck. Absolute liability

At least he will be available come the end of the season when Rafa walks

Dark days. I think it was Dagleish who started it

Should have had a comfortable hat trick. Couldn't understand it when I saw he was taking the penalty with his confidence already shot to pieces. Not unless Rafa thought a goal may give him confidence

I f he's chosen playing for Pardew ahead of Rafa or putting the city of Birmingham ahead of Newcastle then the boy has no brains and I'm glad he hasn't come here. Hope he gets injured quickly and misses most of the season............tosser

In Mike we trust
