This lad must be fuming. Seeing kids come on ahead of him. This won't end well.

Home crowd will turn on him within the month, he'll be getting the Kevin Sheedy treatment.

If he goes straight back in ahead of Santon and still no Ben Arfa and we don't get a result, things will start turning nasty. I should fucking hope so too.

The only positive I'd give him is that the work he put in over the summer on the defensive side of the team seems to have paid dividends, especially when you build in the Enrique loss. That's all he'll get from me though because I've never taken to the guy.

Had a NUFC/Swindon double on. Thanks lads.

Why did it take so long for him to get his start? Does Pardew walk around the training ground with his eyes closed?

After 50 minutes it was absolutely obvious that we needed a door opener on the pitch. His subs were fucking woeful. Think Sammy must be sucking AP off. Either that or giving him a go on his lass.

Fucking shite. Needs to find a trick and quick.

No, no, no....................the correct course of action is to wind him right up so he thinks he's in for a bumper commission. When he calls you with the price tell him you've been thinking about it and you'd actually like a conservatory aswell as the front door replacing and you want the best quality products they stock............money is no object. When he comes back, add another couple of bits on, the back door, the fucking kids wendy house the lot. Then, just before Christmas, after he's already spent the commission on his grubby red and white kids, you pull the plug telling him a MAG firm have undercut his lot by 51p. Get it done.

Didn't Alex McLeish go for him when he was Brum manager?

Not everything in life is black and white sob, sob fucking sob but we'll advertise in a Newcastle based airport, referring to a Newcastle based team with some of the wording in black and white - obsessed? Not much. Wonder why the didn't stick an advert in their airport? Oh, wait.......................

Fucking hell - could end up wearing a bag if steriods etc don't work.

I don't see him developing into anything other than a mid-table (at best) full back and if the club do want to push on towards top 8 then we'll need a better RB. Wouldn't be bothered to see him go.

I'll go for 'JT'.

If, by that, you mean he didn't initially seem to be a cunt then I'm in agreement.

How has Neil Taylor being doing for your lot? How highly do you rate him? He's been playing very well, links well with Sinclair on the left. Highly rated really. We've lost a little on the right though with Angel Rangel being injured, he links well with Dyer. Routledge started instead of Dyer the last game. Ta. Oh well, another positive in terms of our scouts seemingly picking him out before he was too well known. Just a shame we couldn't nick him on the cheap/were prepared to pay what he was worth to you.

Is 29, will want big money and will have limited sell on potential. Yeah - that'll happen. 29? Thought he was like 25/26. But yeah, it's simply not going to happen and £10 million is a bit excessive as well. Yeah - he'll be near enough 29 - don't forget he played at Sheff Utd for a good few years before his move to Everton.

Is off to Spurs.

He's a young lad in a new country, playing in an unfamiliar league against two big lumps up front and a game plan of hitting the centre backs. Yeah - way to ruin his confidence. Have a word. Are you not worried about Perch and Simpson's confidence? Simpson has way more experience than Santon and I couldn't give a fuck if playing centre back ruins Perch's mental wellbeing for life.

He has pace but he never ever seems to open up his legs and accelerate past opponents. Having said that, he needs to work the channels better and improvement his movement because Cabaye never ever seems to see a pass for him - that's nothing to do with Cabaye's vision/ability and everything to do with Obertans movement/intelligence - or lack of.

I have a feeling he wanted us to be geared up to play 4-3-3 (or 4-5-1 out of possession) before the season started but the failure to bring in Maiga probably curtailed that. I felt at the time that he may play HBA and Maiga either side of Ba.
