I think he'll look at the beginning of our season, and that Willicini was our first team pairing, and go back to that. Doesn't seem the sort that wants to rock the boat, and will try and keep status quo as much as possible until the furore dies down.

Half the players he signs here won't be his choice. So it evens out

This. If they're sacking Allardyce this quickly they're going to look for a big name. And if that's the case, if/when they fail in that, they'll probably go 'reputation' over Hughton's current hype.

Was it not KK that made him captain? I remember at the time we were struggling for leaders but he is the opposite of one. Disgusting little loach. Was a strange choice. Well, not really strange, we know he done it to coerce him into staying. But Nolan is a fantastic leader. What he lacks on the pitch skill wise, he more than makes up for in his leadership. I do love this team right now, just such a likeable group of lads.

I think Barton's delivery from the right has been very important. Why cut our crossing potential in half when we have Andy Carroll in the box? Because it's not like he'll be playing rugby if switched to the left? He'll still be the same player and can cut inside and cross (much like his freekicks from the left which have created a goal or two this season). If you're willing to put Routledge in the first team then I'd much prefer keeping Barton in that perfect right hand role for him, and try Routledge on the left and allow him to cut inside.

Of course they will. Don't know if they'll justify a ban but a fine is coming for sure.

Of course not. He didn't touch his willy

Really shouldn't happen. Ability wise it'd be a step up on the left flank. But not enough to be worth the trouble he'd bring though.

I agreed he shouldn't have been so blatantly stupid with the Pederson incident. But this certainly wasn't stupid. It's playground stuff. Primary school playground stuff ffs. He shouldn't have to be watching what he's doing that much. There's a point where no matter what he does he'll be scrutinised. If Torres had a go at him and he just ignored him there'd probably be headlines of 'BARTON IN IGNORING TORRES SHOCKER. READ MORE OF WHAT HE DIDN'T SAY INSIDE'.

No, they were all shite and dragged Taylor down and ruined our future England captain's progression.

No. What happens for 'an incident like this' is that you snivelling shitrags sit there waiting for a media storm before paying any attention to any of the events of the weekend. If enough of a fuss is kicked up, THEN you go looking to punish him. Referee reports or not. Why don't you do your job and analyse the fucking matches yourself and not rely on tv and newspapers to tell you who needs punishing? Pathetic pricks. So if we're punishing for this now, Wayne Rooney might as well just retire from football. Oh, what's that? He's not Joey Barton? He's fine then. Go knock Torres out in the next game, you'll probably just get a giggle from the commentators and first place in Channel 4's football's 100 funniest moments. Cunts.

QFT. If Messi's ever drunk a pint of Fosters, a pint of piss will be nothing.

Wow. Taking a step up on the wine then bud? I'm yet to win enough to get Asda rollback value wine.

What can I say, this place went from a source of Newcastle news and views to a genuine source of entertainment after a while. I can't decide whether to take Dave's comment as a compliment or not! Maybe I should just fade back to the background

Have you met JayJaySea? There's wild and then there's just plain fucking scary. JJC is a just a bit too far for me like

I don't think it was grabbing his own crotch he got banned for...

If it helps at all, he probably thinks that anyway What's the betting at one of the 14 guests viewing this thread is him after following the link to the forum

:lol: Please ask him that.

I do love a wild man. Nothing gets me going more than a beastly crotch grab before getting down to the nitty gritty.

I feel.. Strangely turned on.

Fuck sake!

These past 2 pages, man.

Smith can only do wrong tbf. But this is a joke. If it's not instantly appealed I'll be really pissed off. Fucking scum, the media and the FA. All just there to pander to their own bias and agenda.

Routledge is struggling enough on his stronger side, I don't think he'd fare any better playing on the left. He's got a decent shot on him though for when he's cutting inside. It'd be worth it for a couple of games anyway to give Jonas a break and tell him he's not an automatic starter. This. Not like he's had many chances to 'struggle' anyway. Might as well give him a run of 2 or 3 games and see how he does.

If that's the reason the rumours started that's great.
