Andy

Let's add another seven days to that...

Nine years today since he last lost a home league game. That is crazy.

There's definitely been something different in José's body language over the last few weeks, as a few people have mentioned during recent matches. Not too surprised to see that he's apparently feeling unsettled, really, although it's disappointing that he's gone public with it.

Yeah... One of his rare successes at our club.

Err...

I was laughing that Andy was repeating what somebody else had posted earlier. I thought the "done thing" in here was to beat the same arguments to a pulp. You're thinking of the Jonas thread man. Tbf he can't cross but at least he takes the pressure off the defence and draws in challenges to win free kicks.

Hughton was judged after 16 league games. That's making a questionable assumption that he was sacked based entirely on results...

Football is subjective, results aren't. When can we start to measure progress by using the league table? The results are against different standards of opposition, with selection issues and various other problems that are not down to the manager himself, so the only reasonable answer to your question is that the progress under Pardew can be judged after a full season.

We generally look more organised and are playing it through the midfield better. He's doing OK with the resources he has - if Hughton had the same strike force at his disposal I think the results would have been worse than under Pardew.

His agent will be advising him to hold us to ransom when it comes to wages, I'd imagine. He knows we're desperate.

Enrique who does many things brilliantly and has awesome power and pace has arguably made the most defensive mistakes this season but has the near legendary status that makes them easily forgotten. Can't remember Enrique making too many mistakes before this week.

Unless he requested to leave if a "bigger" club came in, which again, you couldn't really hold against him.

Actually genuinely thought this was going to be a drug related scandal.

I'm not convinced that Ewerthon is good enough/hungry enough any more, but I'd still have him here at the minute.

Sadly you're probably right, but I wouldn't begrudge him a move if a Champions League team came in; he deserves to be playing at the highest level. Been a pleasure to have such a good player in our side this season.

Starting to like Dowd, he was good for us in the home derby match as well.

He has the potential to be half decent if he'd apply himself a little more sometimes and learn to head the ball.

You can post the search terms, or even the title - just not the video please.

Find it hard to separate Ginola and Robert... For everything that Ginola offered in flair, Robert offered in sheer artillery. They both had tremendous amounts of ability and on their day were the very definition of match-winning wingers.

Indeed.

I think if I was a player at Liverpool and one of my friends was moving to Newcastle, I'd be bigging the club up to him and being supportive in much the same way Nolan has with Carroll. It might be unprofessional from the club captain, but you never fall out of love with your boyhood team.

Are you taking the piss? We've got 15 games left to play, man. 15 games with 4 strikers who just aren't up to it at this level. We're unbeaten without him. Take away his goals this season. A bigger picture might just form. Without his goals we'd be 16th with a game in hand on several clubs above us.

Why do you "hate to say" that you're beginning to find our new manager likeable? Surely that's a good thing?

Keep it in one of the relevant threads please.
