Same old aresenal............

F**K RIGHT OFF!!!

Lets hope this 'team spirit' shows through again.

Just knew he'd be concentrating on football this week!

Better than that fanzone pish Sky has!

Is Shola on the pitch?

Instead of Andy Gray I've got this mental picture of that guy off Big Brother commentating!

WOO HOO!!!!! Nolan should never be dropped again!

Is Raylor on the bench? Can only see us scoring from a set piece at this rate.

Shite!

Surely CH has to realise 4-4-2 is the answer for this match. Krul Raylor Sol Colo Jose Routledge Tiote Barton Jonas Carroll McLoven Think it's time Perch was given some bench time and since Simpson isn't 100% yet. IMO Williamson has looked decidely shakey the last few games. McLoven has to start. Good finisher plus his running can create space for Andy to operate plus we'll at least know when the ball's hoofed up to our No.9 they'll be a black and white shirt near him. Don't want to think this managing lark is simple but with 4-5-1 is it not a bit simple for the opposition? I mean... double up on Carroll, keep Nolan on the back foot and your jobs half done. Ps. If it's not going to plan A (whatever they choose) I'd like to at least see an indication when the subs are used that there is a plan B which is more than just replacing like for like.

Hopefully looking forward to seeing some of the staff that were made redundant due to us dropping down a division getting their jobs back!

Well done to all the lads. Fantastic result. I thought the effort across the park was magnificient. I would take this 11 over any of the previous starting 11 from our last few years in the SKY league. Really worked for each other. Thought enrique was his usual brilliant self but I thought Williamson was MOTM. He was a f**king rock at the back! On a completely seperate note.... can I just say I big F**K YOU!!! to east coast trains. Sick of missing last minute goals cos of leaving early to get the last train home. GRRR!!!

Boss away so been sitting with the league table and fixtures......I'm going for Shef Utd at home on the 5th. Smudge to score "the" goal!

Get Ranger on. His injection of pace will have them shitting bricks.

The gap between midfield and our 1(!!!) striker is massive. Our defence has been trying to play pretty football when at times it needs the Mike Williamson school of just putting your foot through it. Jonas is getting frustrated, trying to do everything himself thereby messing up the team shape. You just know Butt is going to be the first sub made by us. Arrrggghhhh!!!!

Brilliant goal. Bollocks!!! Ranger needs to come on for 2nd half to replace Best. It's like playing with 10 men.

Is Best still on the pitch?

Following on from the above suggestion.....could the NUST not buy it? Would be hilarious! Can name it "Alan Shearer's toilet bowl"...........Plus more chance of that lot down the road dealing with them than Big Mike ever will.

Look on the bright side folks..... at least it's only Cardiff at St James on Friday neet. Oh hang on........

Utter excrement! Only Williamson can hold his held high after that! They pissed all over us. It took till their legs began to tire to allow us put anything that remotely resembled 'pressure'. I can only assume/hope that the remaining players on the bench were carrying injuries which forced Chris' choices somewhat....either that or he's a feckin' numpty of the highest order.

Song is called "Goin Up" (go figure?!). Can't remember who 'sung' it but it can be found on cd compilation of Newcastle tunes called "Howay the lads" on sale from The Back Page.
