Ronaldo

Not sure quite what you're getting at here, like. Jonas is capable of playing on the left-side of attack in a 4-3-3.

I meant overall NUFC have performed superbly this season and whatever happens it's been a positive campaign that deserves to be reported in that light. Does that mean we can't scrutinise the components? Of course not. That's how we fell so far in 2003-04.

Have you drunk so much tonight/today/this morning that you can't see the 'not individually' in there, man?

Don't see why Gosling can't do a great job there against Bolton.

It's an observation - and one that you yourself agreed with. I never implied that we can't criticise individual performances.

I wouldn't worry. We'll drop points against Bolton, Stoke or Wigan and the more blatant insults will come back. if they're deserved. We're on the verge of 60 points. Nothing but positivity towards the manager and playing staff - as a whole, if not individually - is warranted. is that so ? Read it again, bud.

Good change at the right time bringing him on today. He'll most likely play in the last couple of games if they become dead rubbers.

there was no myth to be shattered, only the one you imagined. my game? what is that exactly? calm down dear, you are clearly emotional lol Not really; the better team won and the team that overall plays the better football won. I'm pretty indifferent towards everything but the result. You've been championing Swansea as a better team than us for months. i have mentioned they played nicer stuff compared to us. whats wrong with that, why does that bother you so much? It doesn't particularly bother me. Although it's quite embarrassing when a supposed fellow toon fan publically nails Pardew because we're not Swansea, like.

Aye, that holding his position/tracking/intercepting as a secure defensive unit & not allowing Swansea any clear cohesive play near our goal was s*** I forget. I didn't see much if any of that, like. I recommend you pay more attention then, he was an important cog in an almost seamless defensive machine first half. I usually love Tiote away from home, but I thought he was anonymous and we looked better without him. It has to be a pretty outstanding 45 minutes for an 8, like.

Nobody said it was a judgement, just that the myth has been shattered. Your game's up, bud. Drop it.

An 8 for Tiote? He was bloody awful while he was on the pitch.

He's a great pro and person, no doubt.

ronaldos been in hasn't he. Surely talking about the side we beat isn't a massive stretch for a thread about the match they were in?! Problem is, some on here have spent the last 4 or 5 months projecting mythical qualities onto Swansea in order to make damning comparisons with our own play. In the last 14 days that fabrication has been undermined and, today, emphatically ripped to shreds in 90 minutes. Hope this is the end of it.

thats true. they came up here pretty much park the bus instead of their usual tippy tappy genius and got a draw. we were pretty awful that night, some might say we spanked them, but all we did was play direct attacking in the same manner over and over and their centre halfs ate them aerial assaults like candy. Words fail me.

Wish we could give him a rest.

Yes, for a team that's just.. Been promoted? Nobody is denying that Swansea have had a great season by their standards. Why you're bringing that into it I don't know.

Don't know what the hell you've been smoking for the last month, like. Fair play, though. Last year should have said. Point still stands though. It really doesn't, though. Home wins against Arsenal and City are great until you consider they've only won another 4 games at home. Draws against Chelsea and Spurs mean nothing, to be honest. They've had a decent season. Plenty of teams have come up and done the same, before being relegated. It means something because it goes against the 'all possession, no end product' nonsense. They're getting very good results against excellent teams. Do you remember Spurs beating us 5-0? ronaldo's reply will be , "yah but we also manage a draw vs spurs" My team is 5th, unfortunately for you. Us drawing with Spurs has nothing to do with that excuse for a football team we played yesterday.

Drawing at home to Spurs and Chelsea are very good results against excellent teams? Yeah, OK.
