I see it more of Tiote's problem than Cabaye. Tiote can function as an excellent DM in this league. I'm not sure a player of Cabaye's type has ever really been a success.

Cabaye and Tiote will never make a good partnership if we want to play good football and stay in the top 6. Ideally Tiote would stay and we buy a box-to-box guy to partner him.

We'll see him at RB next season.

He went over and acknowledged it at the end of the game. First time I've seen it, actually.

Just for the record, I don't think Keegan would have the current side any higher than 5th or 6th. But he didn't do that bad a job with the 07-08 side, who were frankly a f***ing disgrace.

Are you agreeing with me now? I can't tell.

That squad was fucking crap, man. And we finished 12th.

Santon.

They aren't ruthless at all. The fans are the ruthless ones. And KK couldn't do s*** with: Coloccini Enrique Nolan Barton Martins Owen Jonas Emre N'Zogbia ect. So I doubt it. The man hadn't even followed football for 5+ years when he was hired. *edit* James Milner as well! You what?

3 of those aren't KK players, tbh.

£10m for Krul. Aye, right.

Would I be right in saying if we finish 7th, Roeder would have done a better job with less resources and playing much better football the season he got us into Europe? Did he do a better job than Bobby in 03-04? We accumulated 2 more points under Roeder and Souness.

Quite clearly.

Cabaye isn't and never will be a Silva type of player. That's a daft comparison. If you think we can overtake Arsenal now by bombing forward and leaving the likes of Williamson vulnerable, you need looking at, bro. Yeah lets just turtle up and hoof it instead bro, sounds safer. Safer that pretending Cabaye's one of the best players in the world and our defenders can cope with being one-on-one on the counter.

And stupid. Spoling yourself with this ridiculous vendetta, man. If we werent performing like we are I'd be praising Pardew to the high heavens. I don't like the man but this is no vendetta. I really get the feeling you want him to fail at the club's expense. It's exactly the same with Mick, and I'm fast apporaching that opinion about Wullie, too.

Bottom line, we need to consolidate the luck we had in the first half of the season when we were able to play a credible defence.

You're embarrassed by a win against a mid-table side who generally play quite well away from home? I swear, there's a growing contingent on here who seem to have started supporting us in Novemeber.

He's exactly right.

Lovenkrands?

Because we need Ba and Cisse in the team more than we need Cabaye's release and Ben Arfa out of position.

In other words, no point in even going there.

I completely understand why folk would want to do that.
