  1. Wouldn't the money they make only increase the pressure they are under and encourage them to play it safe since they have something to lose? Don't encourage him man.
  2. Interesting comments from santon on total sport about how last year we were sitting back far to much, mainly out of confidence and this year it's happened a few times but they're getting better and have more belief to keep going forward.

    Barton wasn't cheap at the time, like. Wasn't it a record transfer for a defender? Aye. 4million.

    Sorry like, but this is a cracking post. Monkey is spot on as usual. We created almost nothing from open play. We keep the ball well in our half and around midfield, but are absolutely dog s*** hopeless in the final third. This recurring theme cannot continue for long, in addition to relying on a different in-form striker to bail us out every half-term. Without doubt we are lacking cutting edge in and around the box, this is where HBA would come in handy. But to say we were ‘p*ss poor’ is a load of s****. We kept the ball well at times and built from the back without rushing things. There was a lovely move in the second half where we knocked it round for a good while before Santon fed Sissoko in the box which eventually came to nothing. Tiote and Cabaye played some lovely stuff between them, and we seems to have runners off the ball which was nice too see. it wasnt vintage but we’re getting there. As I say, its in and around the box where we seem to lack killer instinct. Even then, We are averaging nearly two goals a game at the minute. On top of that, we restricted WBA to one shot on target (the goal). People moaning for moaning sake imo.

    Take it for what it's worth but mark Douglas reckons pardew doesn't full trust mym in he air enough yet.
  8. Aye, there were signs of last years tiote creeping back in.
  9. I saw Ben Arfa standing waiting to come on and he had his shirt on, I could clearly see his number 10 so I have no idea why he was pulled back for Cisse to come on. He didn't have it at first. Took him ages to get sorted.

    I assume 'mids' is the same one that posts on here? His posts on rtg make me want to vomit.

    Arsenal aside, are we the only team in the league to win 4 in a row?

    I was delighted with the win but thought the game itself could have been better. Was quite surprised to hear a few people on the way back to the car saying it was a good game. Didn't think it was a good game. They are a side that can give any team in this league a game and I thought we handled it well. We didn't retreat and let them just run at us, we carried on pressing and were always a threat in their half. We did alright IMO. Yeah we did pretty well. Had some nice spells of possession. Some nice build up play from the back. Got to be happy with the way things are going.
  13. Who cares? He was fighting more than anybody else at the end when he seemed to be playing up front on his own. Not doubting his desire he was well up for it just don't like to see one player not celebrate when the rest do. Neither did Williamson. Big willi must be after his big move to barca.
  14. Put a quality cross in with his left early doors. Hopefully the works paying off.
  15. Conveniently ignoring all the other examples given there. If you were the victim, and someone assaulted you or if you found out your brother had been dicking your lass for 8years? What would you be most aggrieved about?
  16. I actually thought he was a little less disciplined today. Seemed santon was a little more exposed than usual. Still put a great shift in mind.
  17. Cardiff fans applauding him was a bit surreal.
  18. Of course it will, but you hope we dont play that high (If its Colo).
  19. At the Toon ? They stagnate/gan backwards due to the quality coaching/mentoring they get. They'll be stagnating all the way to the top 4 by half 7 tonight
  20. I'm fairly sure we produced the most expensive English player ever just a few seasons ago. EDIT: Could probably include Krul in that category as well. Are you seriously putting Carroll in Gazza's class..? He might have been the most expensive English player at the time, but he wasn't worth half of what Liverpool paid for him and he has been a flop at club level since. As for Krul, apart from being Dutch, he hasn't yet been sold and as a keeper is unlikely to fetch the sort of money that a modern Gascoigne would go for. So you're saying we havent produced a player like Gazza. One of the most talented players in modern times. Yeah, great point.
  21. Same, but instead we are stuck with Pardew. Jesus Christ man.
