Waiting for the equaliser here.......................

They'll score here.

Never a foul. Ref has been very one sided here.

3 players in the middle of the park and no control of possession for the last half an hour. What the fuck?

Nice to see Perch show the others a little bit of workrate there. Get fucking stuck in you cunts.

They're gonna get one here. Dreading Holt coming on.

What an world class save.

Simpson mullered there.

Simpson too. Every time.

'So Newcastle will have to re-recruit him in the summer'. Eh, Nah. We'll have to do nothing if the lad doesn't want to leave.

Nice strike Cisse.

Ashley looks fucking ancient there.

HBA's acceleration is unreal.

Agreed. Holt will score today if he comes on.

Is that a pisstake?

Santon here would really peg them back with his pace.

He needs a degree of licence to roam here. This formation should give him so many more options going forward.

It lends itself to less hoof ball purely down the availability of personnel in the middle. Indeed, would be really nice to see after a few games in a row and Tiote in midfield along with a proper midfield general aka a playmaker. Also it allows to play the Front 3 and be defensively balanced. Hoping its a long term thing and not just a spur of the moment type thing from Pardew. Totally agree Mole. I actually reckon that Pardew had this sort of formation in mind when he signed Cabaye etc in the summer. Anything that lends itself to less lumping of the ball from Simpson et al wins my vote.

Grow up ffs, your reaction was pathetic. OMGZZZ DID HE SAYS SOMETHING AGAINST BEN ARFA!! sadfaceemo Being called pathetic by the 'King of the Pointless Post' is like being challenged to a hopping contest by Heather Mills.

Agree.

That' a foul on Jonas all day long.

I'd have hoped this formation would've freed Cabaye up a bit.

Another cracking save. Cisse's got to score there though.
