If fielding some of the youngsters in this competition helps one or two of them developing into players good enough to be included in the first team, that that alone is probably worth more than the price money and cup progress in giving us stronger position to compete for and in Europe in the longer term.

And more attractive

My bad. Come to think of it, the controversy around that penalty was more of due to the defender being first on the ball..? My first point still stands though, although it has to be said he is not as bad as many others.

He went down easily, but it wasn't a dive. Went down easy = could have stayed up but didn´t = dive What about the 1-1 against Man Utd last season?

Shouldn't really be surprised with this being a Newcastle forum and all, but the grade of black & white tinted glasses from some on here really astounds me. Simple question for those who think we deserved a draw(or better?): How would you feel if the roles were reversed yesterday? I know I wouldn't be happy, and I'd put the blame on the referee & linesman.

Norwegian commentator reckoned he wasn´t allowed to do that, and might end up getting his ban extended. Is that true? They can't ban him from using a phone man He was clearly communicating with the bench. I thought it sounded weird, but as mentioned, the commentator said it might not be legal. Had to make sure it was only bull.

Eh ?. First half aside (Cisse should have scored and a clearance of the line) . The second half we could have scored 4 ourselves. Mrs. Bimpy must have done something with either your mind or sight. Never in a million years did we deserve anything from this game...not that Im complaining

Highway robbery to get a point in that game, and what an awesome game it was! Great for the neutral viewer.

He must be on a pretty good wedge since none of the clubs that have loaned him the past years have been able to pay all of his wage? I really don´t know, but I seem to remember that was the figure speculated on around the time he signed, which also seems "logical" considering what I already mentioned.

I thought he was on ~50k a week and that Colo was on ~70-80k which is why everyone were panicking right before he signed a new contract due to the clubs wage structure.

He would walk into our team, and I´d gladly have the naive fucker back in a heartbeat.

Michael Owen and Joey Barton thread on this forum. Hope both of them die a quiet death and plummets into the abyss of other shit threads.

Loss. Fellaini and Jelavic are tailor made to cause our defence problems all day long. 3-1. Osman after some mayham in the box, Fellaini on set pieces and Jelavic tap in. Cisse with a tap in.

Technically he has "only" got us 3 points so far this season.

Some people on here should be banned 24 hours after anything worse than an average game. Mental how much is wrong with this club some of it´s players when things didn´t go as expected.

Result was expected. Villa had 0 points going into this game, and worked themselves to victory. Only real negative from this game I can take is the tactic of Krul hoofing the ball up each and every time. The games so far this season he has played it short to build up attacks most of the time, and im not sure why Pardew thought it would be a good idea to do otherwise in this game.

Not really rocket science, but FYP in case anyone were wondering.

The "deluded" mark comes from somewhere. 8th is the most optimistic position I can predict granted that we aim to go far in the uefa cup and don´t leave it over to the second string to sort the group stages out.

Maybe (likely, like) they´re not

Dull 0-0 or 1-1. Cue massive critisism towards Ashley for not buying so and so player whom could have meant the difference between 3 and 1 points in the post-match rage & ramble thread.

Guess he'll be replacing Van Bommel/Timoschtuchkenwlfe. Definite improvement. Bayern will be up there in the CL this year too.

Think Swansea will be my 2nd team in the league if they beat Sunderland next game as well. This is fabulous.
