Ronaldo

I remember that, didn't it hit the advertising hoarding behind the goal? How do refs get it so wrong

I'd be tempted to try something different just for the hell of it against this lot Krul Simpson Taylor Coloccini Enrique Guthrie Barton* Lua Lua Vukic Xisco Ranger *Nolan if not fit

absobloodyexactly

This in particular is very encouraging, at least it shows he wants to improve and is willing to change his game

This appeared soon after half time: "BBC saying the Newcastle defense is nowhere near the quality of the Palace back 4" Honestly, just honestly

I've been advocating this for weeks, it's just boring

Is there anybody opposed to locking this? Do it man

get in!

Great to see Guthrie in, it makes us look so much better - on paper at least

"Surprisingly, Newcastle haven't swanned into town like billy big bollocks thinking they own the joint and been deservedly pumped by established CCC teams like Sheff Utd for doing so"

Vince Hilaire's Afro - What on earth is he going on about?

my word

1 goal in his last 20 league games but a great goalscorer, all the same

"There are not enough foreigners in English football" Which red wine supping idiot is responsible for that stupid assertion?

Nolan and Xisco seem to be pretty good pals, apparently

Can you imagine going from Real Madrid to Blackburn, you'd feel like you'd been kidnapped, surely?

the special one was described from his late twenties as being 'strong and charismatic' and very much capable of 'commanding the respect of the players' Does that sound like Hughton to you?

Bollocks. He was woeful in the second half at WBA and nearly gifted Jeffers a goal in the last ten on Wed. He HAS to go. He's a centre half who can't deal with physical strikers and can't deal with pacy strikers. Its the worst combination possible for the league we're in. Teams are going to target him and will get joy. Obviously if he is moved on he will have to be replaced but the replacement won't be paid the ridiculous amount we pay Colocinni. How did he nearly gift Jeffers a goal? What did he do wrong in the second half vs Brom? Far too many sheep at SJP, stop listening to what the dickhead next to you says man. Watch him, watch his contribution. Rarely does it involve last ditch tackles and chest thumping, but it CAN be effective.

Defoe is nailed on for it now. It'll be him, Rooney, Heskey, Walcott and Crouch. Bent is a possiblity Michael Owen WILL make the World Cup squad. now that one isn't getting a bite Do you honestly think he won't? Like it or not he'll score goals for Man U and if you play for Man U then you'll make the England squad just for that. If he's fit, he'll be at the World Cup. Of course that's no guarantee in itself. Capello wont pick him ahead of Defoe, Rooney, Crouch or Walcott. All are clearly better players. Bent will have a good season and Heskey brings a different set of attributes. Owen wont be anywhere near, he's a waste of man.

Looked fine against Reading and didn't have a bad game against WBA or Sheff Wed after the 45 minute mark

Kadar and Tozer got shagged by Tresor kandal. I'd be ashamed to get anihiliated by him, he's bloody woeful. Anyone thinking they'd do better than Coloccini need to wake up.

classy as ever Dinho

I have so many accumulators on tomorrow I have no idea what will win me money and what wont.
