If you could pick one Chelsea player to be sent off to miss our match, who would it be, for whatever minimal difference it would make? Terry for me, then Drogba and Lampard in that order

More shenanigans involving officials. Drogba and Lehmann taking turns to be ridiculous. Both booked, and the other 20 players around the officials

There is, it's called the rules

Oh yeah sure credit that comedy masterclass to Gejon

Keane was injured when he signed for Celtic, that was the reason he didn't play until jan 1st. No regardless of how injured he was he wasn't allowed to play until January 1st.

Oh well if he did he's useless, his one worth to team - being a lucky charm - has gone and he should never play for the club again when we have committed players like Luque waiting to take over. bluewink.gif

Radio Newcastle sounded certain Carr would be back on Wednesday

Oh yeah you're welcome bluedead.gif - can I still have the points?

.com say a few games for Nobby and Emre and Sibi might feature on Weds, as mentioned above. I'll take those odds tbh

Oh shit you mean you'd actually put 2-1? Damn my big mouth

What a stat that is. Everton (h) about 10 seconds, 2-0 win West Brom at home, 3-0 win Brum away 0-0 Palermo (a) about 3 minutes, 1-0 win Blackburn (a) half an hour, 3-1 win It took ages to lose a game when Amdy Faye featured, if only it meant something. Did anyone see his volley yesterday by the way....and his miss from a yard?

If Martins hadn't scored the third I'd have had a perfect score. I think I'm happier Martins scored the 3rd tbh

Aye but it's not a red, it's a 5th yellow. There is no appeal, I'm just saying van Persie got his 5th yellow on the Sunday and 6 days later was allowed to play against us, as the ban takes effect 7 days after the 5th yellow. So 7 days after Saturday is obviously next Saturday, so Baba misses Watford.

If you remember, Van Persie got his 5th yellow 6 days before playing us, yet he played our game because the ban doesn't take effect for 7 days, unlike a red which is immediate. I think.

Think he misses Watford but I'm not sure

Baba has 5 yellows but what happened when van Persie got 5 yellows? He didn't miss the match against us because it was 6 days after he got it and not 7...so Baba will miss the Watford match...right? Mosley/Aphro any idea?

Typically though, when we were a top 4 team we got all this "Newcastle are everyone's second favourite team" bullshit, and so even less people liked us. It's water off a ducks back tbh it's just funny because it's us.

Nah, we're just the luckiest team in the history of football - every goal we score is offside or we we committed deadly sins in the build up. Every goal the opposition score is a master class or due to a defensive error, because our defence is shit, as we're often reminded. Oh yeah and we'd lose a lot more if we didn't have Shay Given, because if we didn't we'd play 11 outfield players - he's just irreplaceable you see. Fuckin hate the media

If that's not the funniest thing I read today, I will be an unbelievably happy man

Who cares what that goon thinks, we got 3 points and he couldn't manage England Under 21's.

Assuming everyone who went off today is out and nobody but Carr is back, and assuming Glenn does his usual 4-5-1 for hard away game: Given Carr Taylor Ramage Baba Clark Butt N'Zogbia Milner Luque Martins Although Rossi would probably play instead of Luque Or 4-4-2 with Rossi for Clark, Luque on the left, Butt and Zog in the middle and Rossi up top obviously, but that for me is just a suicide team.

Butt sounded immense on the wireless. I consider him forgiven.

If we sign him now he can't play till Jan 1st, like Keane and Celtic if you remember

Explain simple he played milner out of postion,he is no nobby solano though pattison was a waste,he show a bit good stuff and a bit bad aswell,couldve sealed the win but his shot was horrible he couldve taken more advantage of them game,attack more instead of set back and defend,this season we lost two games by the score of 2-1 thanx to the fact that our seconed half if often very poor,today was not a day to bring the likes of rossi and pattison on,maybe giving luque who is more experinced some time wouldve been much better.. if brad friedel got his head to the ball that wouldve been a game to remember What did you want him to do soccer master? Taylor was struggling with an injury and that's why Huntingdon didn't come on immediately, so Milner dropped in to right back and Rossi on the wing. Sibierski then got an injury in a block challenge and then Huntington came on, went in to right back and Milner pushed on. Where's the problem? Or would you rather have had Luque at right back? not really,wouldve rather see him play at LW the pattison! also he is a winger,he couldve replaced solano and play at the right wing,sure he is left footed but so is rossi,who we won't even get anything from when he leaves in january of course bringing huntington on was the rite thing to do,thought he looked solid,we should give him more chances.. Ah yes, so he replaces Solano and goes to right wing and Milner goes to right back, which you just complained about. Pattison was a lot more likely to defend and get stuck in and even break sweat than Luque was, good decision by Roeder in my book. Have people playing who actually want the best for the club.
