The thing is, I see no real defensive benefit in Obertan being played at RW instead of Hatem.

What a load of garbage. Such a mackem anti-NUFC s*** Well, no, it's actually a fact. Who would you be supporting right now if Hatem had signed for the mackems, eh? Such a whore.

That a player who's played his best football out wide should be tried out wide? At least contribute, man.

From what I've seen in my 19 years as a fan: Given Barton Albert Coloccini Enrique Ginola Speed Lee Robert Beardsley Shearer

Horrible. Just horrible.

What an absolute tool.

This thread is a fucking embarrassment.

Ba has scored 8 times since then. Best allows him to play to his natural strengths in a withdrawn striking role. If you ask Ba to do all the chasing down that Best does, he'd be knackered after 45 minutes instead of 65. Think it's ludicrous to suggest Ben Arfa should replace him on the back of the City performance. Did he play well? Yes, but his most important contribution was giving away a daft penalty. There simply has to legitemate proof that Ben Arfa can contribute hugely to our cause before we undermine both Best and Ba to accomodate him as a forward. Still see no reason why he can't play as a false winger.

AKA s*** clubs Well, no; 3 clubs they've failed to beat at home this season in addition to Manchester Utd.

Tiote's not and never will be an attacking player. He's a destroyer, simple as that.

He can't read.

That's not his current house. He just moved into a new house in Jesmond 6 weeks ago. Why were his cars parked outside the Lindisfarne Close gaff a couple of weeks back? He just moved into Lindisfarne Close 6 weeks or so ago. He lives next door to my mate. As discussed earlier in the thread, Tiote came round to watch the match with us y'day, he was also getting his new satellite system fitted y'day afternoon. Moved into two houses in the same week? What a f***ing legend. I fail to understand how you personally, can rate him when he was signed by the regime you despise. I actually have no idea what this is a reference to.

Mancini must cycle back to Alderley Edge every day just laughing at the situation he's found himself in.

He's not instinctive, but he is very clinical.

Shola was a terrible finisher in his early days.

s*** for brains just like his brother. Both are very lucky they aren't still scrubbing toilets at McDonald's.

And free.

And that was the view of Smith less than 6 months into his contract. 4 years later.....

Closest he ever came to scoring against a top 5 side in his time with us.

Given, Taylor and Enrique were absolutely bloody terrible that day.

I don't remember too many Shearer penalties ending up in the top corner, like.

As it should be with any team trying to win the league.

You can have his address if you like; lived down the street from me until February.

He was solid enough in defence, but I think our standards had severely slipped in the wake of Stephen Carr.
