Mike Riley the big queer! I hate when top four teams get the refs favour!

Linesman wont be working in the prem next week!

We're going defensive?! F*** of Sam!!

Wright-Phillips getting in behind of the crosses - he's a threat!

Givens been brilliant today!

Of course they are - Chealski are a top four team!

Fayes missing the cross field passes

February 6th vs. the Swiss - will Beckham get his 100th cap? We know they fell out last season!

Unless all but 2 defenders get injured in April there is no chance of him playing for Newcastle again! Big Sam has to know that he is a useless sack of s***!

Look at Sig for my team vs. fulham I think Roz will be replaced with Faye (if fully fit) because of his drop in form and Emre will come in and replace Butt and Geremi will revert to DM leaving Emre and Barton in ACM positions.

2-0 - great if Boro could hold on - fair play

Tubes was amongst the crowd at the Riverside!

Anyone watching the game? Middlesbrough are actually taking it to Arsenal at the moment. They are 1-0 ahead thanks to a Downing penalty and it doesn't look like changing anytime soon! Could this be another upset for the weekend?! Edit: Sorry, didn't look down to see if there was already a topic on this.

Biggest load of crap i've heard in a while! The express was clearly having a slow day and thought they would stir some sh*t up! All the facts are completely off and I think the figure would have to be closer to 300 million for Ashley to even glance at it. But the fact is, he is a billionaire and he is having some fun with his latest investment! I don't think it's all about money with Ashley and Newcastle, its about making history in a sport that he loves with a team that are the biggest underachievers in premiership history!

Hopefully we'll pick it up again. I don't like the way we start each half - seems to take us 10mins or so

Yeah, Muamba rising shot over the bar

Two very Owen snaffling type chances there... SA making a change after 30min..Good to see. Well Butt was injured, but it was good to see that it was an attacking tactical decision

My visual of the game is constantly buffering! Useless! Relying on SSN - they don't cover the game enough!

See sig - we have to go all guns blazing, with those as our front 5 and with a solid defense and counter attack I can't see us struggling!

Mourinho: "Why not?" - about the England job (SSN) I like it!

Man City chairman is after Adriano - Owen move off then? SSN - just seen it on TV

I think Sam did change is tactical approach, however, he hasn't changed it completely. By this I mean that he adapts his tactical approach depending on the opposition. For example, Blackburn are a very physical side, therefore, Sam felt that we needed to take a physical/attacking approach to facing them and Arsenal don't like playing against physical sides who put pressure on them and don't give them time on the ball and from experience with Bolton Sam moulded to team to carry out those aims during the game last night. We may see a completely different set of tactics against Birmingham, who are a weaker team and can probably be broken down with counter attacking and direct passing play. But we will have to see how Big Sam approaches the game. I think you could only say that Sam has changed his tactical approach completely after watching the next 5 games home and away. We will be able to see a lot clearer about his view of the team and plans for future success after the December spell.

Yep Smith MoM

Held his head got kick in his groin... so erm - Same old Arsenal always cheating - unless he's a d*ckh*ad

Taylor so close!!
