Iam sure i seen Butt passed the armband onto Solano!:? Aye and Nobby passed it on to Harper i believe. Might have been Taylor, not sure, but he definitely passed it 'back'.

No, he didn't let us down tonight, but i don't think he was great. HOWEVER, going back to my original comment. It was a comment in general - he doesn't seem to have the required ability to make it for us, or any other Premiership team. No pace, no power, no shooting ability, can't head, can't pick out a pass, and as we've found out tonight... can't tackle. All of this having seen him a few times this season. I don't understand why he's making it into the squad.

Stunned that CSKA went out. Said it before and i'll say it again... watch out for Espanyol.

Desperately needs a rest tbh. Was surprised (yeah right) and slightly disappointed that he wasn't rested. He was crap last week and not much better tonight, and it's not as if he's going to get a chance of a rest for a while yet... I hope he doesn't deteriorate. Strengths are: Good shot, can beat his man, can put a ball in the box. All round winger really with a long way to go... a bit slow though.

Think it was Harper actually...

Was as good as Nicky Butt tonight. Just sat back and protected the defence and kept it simple. Absolute bollocks. Butt was one of our best players before he went off, infact our only good one after Bramble. But actually knew how to pass it forward and played 3 or 4 absolute peahes out to the wings. As weird as it sounds, Butt was actually one of our more attacking palyers before he was withdrawn. He actually wanted the ball to go forward. Pattison, on the other hand, could pass the ball no more than a meter, and always backwards - and he was slow and his attempt at that tackle was diabolical. To say he was on par with Butt is madness.

Can pass the ball well and battles but did he pass the ball forward at all? Does his attempted tackle on Matthys count there? Which, by the way, was quite hilariously bad. And no, he didn't pass the ball forward. He barely passed it.

One of the most negative performances i have seen in absolutely ages. We didn't want to score.

By the way... what in God's name possesses Roeder to put Pattison in the squad? He appears to have absolutely no ability whatseoever.

Job 'done' but... God that was shite. I'm sorry, but 1-0 at HOME to a team who is filled with part time shoe makers and fence makers, playing their RESERVE side... is dismal as fuck. Smashin goal, but i can think of only one good player tonight, and that was Titus. Everyone else was absolute crap.

Bloody hell. That was a cracking game. AZ will be VERY hard.

Why? Are they presenting it at the end of the season or something instead now? Not entirely sure tbh. I can imagine they'll want to present it when the stadium's full. Just a guess.

Been called off.

Not saying he's any good or will do any good... but i'm quite looking forward to seeing him play with Martins tbh. Thought he did fairly well in his last appearance at St James' Park aswell. Hopefully he might push wide a bit because he crosses from the left-wing were fantastic against Celta Vigo. He can certainly put in a ball. I bet he could do a lot if he wanted to, tbh.

Why the fuck is Roeder actually wasting his time anyway? He's not going to come to Newcastle!

Ashton/Bent/Nugent/whoever £6-10m... what's the point? Owen, Martins, Ameobi, Dyer, Sibierski and a new striker. Just get a half decent striker in on the cheap. Beattie or Viduka or someone like that.

Doesn't look good at the moment...

I'm always picturing winning goals me.

He won't be back for Alkmaar.

Oh and... YOU'RE You fucking gobshite.

Cos we played about three European games.

I really liked the first one, obviously my opinion was multiplied because of the Newcastle connection, but i thought it was a decent film all-in-all tbh. Good story, good characters, fantastic shots of the city and the stadium, etc - all in spite of a very corny ending. I'm sure i'll see the second one at some point, but i'm not really that bothered.

Ah right, didn't realise that. Scratch that then.
