From the Beebs text commentary Goal - Hatem Ben Arfa - Newcastle 1 - 0 Bolton Hatem Ben Arfa scores a goal from inside the box to the bottom left corner of the goal. Newcastle 1-0 Bolton.

I wonder at what point Hatem's brain went 'This will be the shit' I'l go for just after the initial turn

He simply takes the piss with how easy he makes it look

Looking at everyones remaining fixtures, we need to win 5 of the last 7 to have a chance. The 3 after Swansea, whilst not a walk in the park, are definitely winnable. If we're in with a chance come the 3 in May then momentum is a great thing, always easier to chase than to be chased - especially with Spurs 2012 form and Arsenal's up and down form this year

Talking about the best things we've ever seen at work today. My input - the current Liverpool team hehe.

Win this and I'll start believing in Champs League

Especially with Ba, Krul, Colo not being there Jesus we've even got Taylor and Jonas already. A clever summer and we really could be laughing next season

One thing with Pards where he has been consistent, when hes taken a player off at half time due to performance, they tend not to get back in without a few sub appearances first. This gives me hope

Didn't he play DM against Sporting? Well I say play.....

Been saying at work recently that if we are going to chase 4th place, we first need to win 8 out of 11 games and will be chasing spurs not arsenal.

2 small points, firstly we've just about broke even regardless of the AC 35m, and secondly sports direct are one of the more successful brands out there at the moment. Plenty of companies would happily be associated with them. They've gone ott with the advertising in the ground, but signs can come down as easily as they go up.

I dunno, but he must have mis pronounced that word 200 times today. Someone should really have a word like

Fuck you Chris Waddle!

Pissed off. Thought I needed 2 front tyres, sitting in kwik fit now getting all 4 changed. Anyway, looking forward to the game, stomach churning was yesterday now its the anticipation you get at the peak of a roller coaster

Fulham first half formation, replace Guthrie and the strikers with Tiote, Ba, Cisse Sorted

Or we could have gone 4-3-3 with Ben Arfa roaming as a sapre man

Gone from Brilliant to Good, and he's just scraping a good. Since the Chelsea game we've been very eratic, a couple of great performances, a couple of games with decent spells and a number of games where we've been complete dross. The league is very poor this season and we've got a great chance to make Europe (probably need the cup winners to finish top 5 mind), however I'm torn as to whether I would rather see Europe next season or use the rest of the season to try something new and give it a good run of games to bed in - heck even try something radical like seeing how Tav plays at right back or if a full back pairing of Ferguson and Santon will work. How about givign Kadar a run in the Premier League - may save a few quid on a squad CB in the summer or allow us to move Williamson on. And that's before considering building a formation to play to the best of BA, Cisse, Cabaye and Ben Arfa - you know, maybe a 4-3-3 or something unheard of like that.

Lad I work with played with Willo as a teenager in Torquay. Reckons he was a very limited player back then, nobody can believe he made it past league 1 level, never mind be a Premier League player. He also said that as a teenager he was the quickest player in the league!

Sounds to me as if the 90 mins can be shown but anything before or after would be covered by Sky's copyright/IP.

Thinking a Tiote - Raylor defensive midfield shield with Cabaye ahead of them. Ben Arfa, Cisse, Ba as an attacking trio

Try running it without customers, employees, paying taxes etc etc. The only difference to most businesses (but not all) is the emotional attachment

The black and white stripes weren't replaced, the blue star was positioned on a black stripe in the centre of the shirt, below the unbro and club badge. As for the Gallowgate, did we have season tickets before it was rebuilt? Also, the Gallowgate was replaced, St James' hasn't been so it's not the same. How much of the current St James Park is original? Taking the logic that the Gallowgate has been replace, then surely the current stadium has been in place since around 1999/2000 in its total form?

His actions will have caused more debt than his loans will have saved the club, not that his interest free loans justify the name change. Doesn't change the fact that he is still entitled to charge interest on any loan he puts into the club. How much interest do you think we're saving by not owing Barclays or whoever £100m? I don't agree with changing the name of St James, it seems a pretty pointless thing to do if nothing else and I'm sure there are other ways of making money from the club. However, I do see where it might make sense in a devilish business mind.

Its only stupid financially if you can't manage the PR, otherwise the potential benefits are huge - 100% profit on something? Yes please from a business perspective. That's presuming, of course, that somebody actually pays the club some money. Or someone takes some 'free' advertising for a linked brand rather than charge money on loans given to the club. Money in is the smae as money not going out

Its only stupid financially if you can't manage the PR, otherwise the potential benefits are huge - 100% profit on something? Yes please from a business perspective. Maybe he can follow it up by asking if anyone would like to buy advertising space on the side of a bulldozer which is demolishing an orphanage, as long as he gets the PR right. You got me there, I can see how the 2 things are the same
