  1. Makes me wonder what we'd be like if we had an Andy Carroll type player up top....
  2. Hazard on course to solve crisis in syria at this rate according to the commentator!
  3. Not sure why but I'm poorless after reading this one! Fell off my chair in the office.
  4. Well done to all the players, staff and board. Fantastic season beyond what anyone expected. Major opportunity now to push on. With a few choice additions 3rd place could be comfortably ours.
  5. doctor. She could give me a physical any time she wants. No wonder Drogba goes down all the time.... wanting her to run on with a bucket and sponge.
  6. Carroll's just pretending he's playing in black and white stripes! That's the only logical explanation.
  7. ? Sorry.... was talking about Peacock's goal.
  8. Haha....I remember the 5-1 result against Man U at half time...dog leash was a pundit in the studio and was saying the linesman/ref couldn't have seen 100% if the ball crossed the line then it shouldn't have been given. Wonder if he'll stand by that after this match should that prove costly for them.
  9. Just watched the highlights on NUFC TV and apparently in the play prior to Cisse's goal Wor Shola got the better of a "Davide Santon"!! Didn't notice that switch myself!
  10. Has Pards got money on us being 1-0 up at half-time or something? We seem to be playing like we don't want to try and score a second!
  11. I blame Simspon! Dunno what for(yet)....just thought I'd get in there first today.
  12. Fell for it hook, line and sinker! Didn't realise it until mid afternoon and I accidentally clicked on the bookmark on my phone by accident and the forum page appeared! Dave, you're a bastard!:-) For a few hours following the toon lost part of its soul!
  13. fucking amazing! missed the game cos taking in the ramsdens cup final up north. had to follow match on shitty phone. well done to the players and fans. cant wait to get home and watch on sky+.
  14. That should have been krul's everytime.... he was hesitant when he should have went through williamson to claim it if need be.
  15. Great news about his improving condition. Pray it continues. On a side point.....I'm surprised the southern press boys haven't played an angle that it was being in the same proximity to Harry Redknapp (aka the second coming) that save the lads life.

    Alan Pardew

    For me he's become far too defensive in his thinking/tactics. Not quite sure exactly when this change occurred tho he still likes to mention Saylor quite a lot! Maybe he was surprised by our start to the season and seeing where we were sitting it became a case of protecting that position at all costs. Apart from the 2nd half against the unwashed I can't think of when the last match was which we dominated. Don't get me wrong, love it when we win but just think we're capable of much more in this overhyped league. Yesterday for example we had Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Cabaye and Jonas on the pitch. No offence intended to Norwich but we should have won that match comfortably. Pardew seems to concentrate a lot on how to stop the opposition and not enough on what we can do. I'm not trying to advocate a return to the 'you score three, we'll score four philosophy' but would like to see him set out out our attacking players where they should be played (eg. Cabaye needs to be further up the pitch) instruct them to get the ball on the deck and say to the opposition 'you worry about us!'. Was just thinking we're on course to have our best season since SBR but I'm not going to be rushing out to buy the season review DVD. I'll buy the Man U game instead!
