that's a pretty silly thing to say in all fairness

Yesterday was the first match I've been pissed of with his kicking, it was fucking terrible.

imagine if it was just one bloke 'Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of Mackematics, released Summer 2034'

Perch's booking looked ridiculous from where I was sat.

yep, that was great

I see where he's coming from, his play in possession has been frustrating at times, but no way should we be getting rid of him.

As is Ben Arfa and practically all our attacking players bar Ba, which is why i find it baffling why theres any reason why we use it. Hopefully we'll only see it on the odd occasion next season, tbf it worked against Chelsea and I can see why he did it today. With better fullbacks the 4-3-3 is going to offer even more next season.

That's the right message to be sending to the players going into the summer though, in fact it's the right message to be sending to everybody. I think it's a season too early, we've got to rebuild and restock almost our entire reserve and youth team....we can't do that AND bring in four new first team players in one summer. Think it'd be too much change for it all to be positive. You make valid points, I just feel that saying 'he hopes' to be challenging again is the right thing to say when you're dealing with players who might have their heads turned and players we're trying to get to the club.

agree with this

yep

Vincent Kompany ‏ @VincentKompany Don't let the "big four" fool you, Newcastle are cormfortabely amongst the best in the league. No leaving St. James without bruises. #Fact

If you watch that moment again, pay attention to Aguero holding back Colo for a second, which translates into Colo arriving just too late to block Yaya's shot. Devil's in the detail Fair enough, I only saw it once at the match.

...and then 16 again

and he's significantly better in the air, absolute no brainer decision

16 points ahead of these lot

I don't want this season to end

was nice to hear his name being sung on the lap of honour, top job this year

I like Jonas, I really do, but he offers very little on the wing these days imo, certainly in a 4-4-2.

batter these lot and go out on a high, still in with a chance of 4th and 5th would make our season slightly shorter next year.

We may still need a point or 3 to get fifth so it's still all to play for. (not that i've given up on CL totally yet)

Still in with a realistic chance on the last day of the season, incredible.

Really proud of them all today, just beaten by a better team. The game plan was fine imo and executed well, the only mistake of note was Toure having so much space for his second.
