Lescott is fucking shit He might be but they were so much more solid when it was him and Kompany.

He has been poor the last few weeks but he played very well yesterday. Doesn't mean he wasn't bad the last few weeks though.

He's the manager. The very hierarchy that exist in work mean that a manager has more power and would therefore get a more severe punishment for an indescretion

The treat that is Villa vs Norwich

Heres me thinking we wear black and white

Why the fuck are we wearing yellow against a team who wear orange?

Im at kings cross waiting to go home. Only seen a handful of the cunts so far

Being from Chester-le-street I went to school with a mix of Newcastle and mackem fans. Some of my best mates are mackems but it's always been reasonable debate with minimal dickishness. That is until the semi final. I know success changes people but I didn't expect one league cup final to turn level headed people into arseholes. Their twitter feeds are full of "the wear runs through CLS so why do you support Newcastle ?" and my favourite "should be another 3 points for County Durham this weekend" which just makes no sense. Also regular references to "mags get back under their rocks" and its like a who can be a bigger cunt competition. For that reason alone, I hope they get dicked and get relegated never to return.

I didn't think it was that bad a game, really. Lacked a fair bit of quality but I wouldn't have said it was dull

Weird game. We started well for a change but that soon drifted away as Villa made use of the extra man in the middle, which caused Pardew to change to Cisse on the right fun times. A lot of the forward thinking players played ok in fits and starts but nobody was on it all game. There was a 20 minute spell where it seemed inevitable Villa would score but the final ball was just lacking or Krul made a decent save, then they just declared second half for some reason and seemed happy to get 0 but without ever seriously trying to see it out. But enough about them, we have enough of our own issues without worrying about them. Krul - Some decent saves first half, not totally horrific distribution for once. Debuchy - Terrible crosses but got forward well, always an outlet. Dummett - Had a nightmare 20 minutes where he turned into Shola but I thought he did ok in the end, would like to see him and Haidara plenty towards the end of the season, I'm not sure what's going on with Santon but having a left footed full back was nice. His set pieces weren't gash either, surprisingly. Willo - Really good, made one great interception during the second half. Him and Colo are our best partnership, undoubtedly. Colo - MOTM. Imperious, reads the play so well. Welcome back, please never leave Tiote - Not his best game but we have nobody else who can play his role effectively, as evidenced by his absence. So for that reason I'm glad he was back. Anita - In and out all day but the last 10 minutes he was a driving force, I've never seen him play that sort of role. A big reason we won today Gouffran - Not his best day it's fair to say but some good graft at times Sissoko - What to do with this guy. Plays without a brain but his ball carrying ability is useful. Just makes some really odd decisions, but I don't think anybody is sure where to play him. Remy - So much better than all of our other strikers, but in the 1 striker system I prefer him on the left depending on who's in the middle. Cisse - Horrific miss. His control is superb at times but he's shot. Got through some work on the right wing but why not just play a winger there? Thought it was odd that he pushed Cisse out to the right and left Remy through the middle, but then once De Jong came on he moved Remy wide. But that's just Pardew, we must change formation about 4 times a game, one sub causes the whole team to be re-positioned. Atmosphere in the last 15 minutes was fantastic, relieved to get the points. It could be a fun end to the season if we try some different things out and play with no fear but the manager will be shutting up shop for that precious 8th place. Went to the game probably the lowest I've been about NUFC, thinking what was the point etc. but came away determined to just enjoy the rest of the season, forget everything going on behind the scenes and just wait and see. It's nice being fairly relaxed at a game so I'm going to enjoy it whilst it lasts as unless the right decisions are made in the summer we might be in a spot of bother next season.

He's on loan at Toronto as of about a week ago I think

Winner sports not banned = hello Vince!

In an ideal world we are easier to sell without a manager with a 6 year contract? Maybe? Please!?

Are you aware of our owner?

Their pitch was tearing up nicely, not going to help Poyet's style of play

Cardiff 0 - 1 Wigan

It does have a "breaking point" feel about it all this. Something's going to give sooner or later

I really like Hoddle, his World Cup diary is a good read if you're looking for a football book. Shame he said what he said back when he was England boss but I always enjoy his views on Sky. So passionate about the sport and developing for the future.

Yes

Quite the opposite unfortunately when the team in an identical position to us have basically thrown it

How much fucking luck do these cunts carry?

Do Prado really is fucking shite

It's absolutely crazy to think that if this lot had beaten Hull, as many expected they would, Hull would now be out of the bottom 3 on goal difference only. It's so tight

If any team wins 6 in a row they're going to go up the table. Just like any team losing 5 in a row plus 1 draw is not going to be doing so well.

Let the relegation zone see the mackems
