Draw for Iceland would be an excellent result.

Krul has been good today!

Not sure we can do much about other clubs being interested, but we could try to get him more playing time through loan system. That's unless we don't see him as a prospect, then just sell him to Monaco. He's still young (just turned 19), should loan him to L1 or Championship.

Scored for Cardiff yesterday.

I'm not mad. I just remember when Newcastle FC came to Old Trafford and tried to win. Today reminded me of when Exeter got a replay at Old Trafford. "Heroes at the back." "Great defensive performance." Hi Mike. I would worry about manchester FC who have spent quarter of a billion dollars but have no threat on top. You can control the midfield all you want but it wont get you far with no attacking threat. Despite 70% possession you still had the same amount of real changes as Newcastle United. Think you need to rethink your illusion that Rooney is the answer. He is a good footballer but not world class striker. ManFC will be aiming for 4th at best unless they strengthen.

Ref is putting a firm line here, ManU get 2 changes before a yellow, Newcastle get a 0,5 changes.

Quick to give Haidara yellow.

Agree, but Cisse will start anyway.

Yup, center halves are overrated, we just need more attackers.

Armstrong scoring again for Coventry

Watching Marseille highlights from last season doesn't show a lot from Thauvin. Looks like he was on the bench at the end of last season. Mind though, these highlights don't show much (official league 1 channel):

Not offside, Janmaat playing him on.

He's offside

Why would he sign a new contract, unless they are offering him silly money it makes no sense. No disrespect to QPR but they are a mess, 10x more of a mess than Newcastle. He puts himself in a worse negotiation position with other clubs by signing a contract. The only reason for him to sign a contract would be to stay at QPR. I'm not sure they will bounce back to PL like last time and looking at their finances they look to be in serious trouble.

I think his best position would be about 1500 miles south of Mitrovic...

I don't want him to drop back. His goal scoring ability is something we desperate for. We need more goalscorers in the side to make us harder to defend against. Last year we only had cisse and when he was out, teams could put more pressure on us, they hardly had to worry about us scoring. If Winjaldum drops back we will be limiting his game imo. He can play there however, has the footballing ability. Not sure how his distribution is though. Chelsea and Southampton also play 4 2 3 1 system. Chelsea had Matic and Fabregas as the "2". Southampton had Davis and Wanyama. We had Anita and Colback.

I think we need a better footballer than one of Colback/Anita in central midfield and also we have a lot of competition for that attacking midfield role fair enough

Why move Wijndalum further back, to a accommodate De Jong or because he would be better there?

Thanks Pardew. Thanks Carver. I hate it when other managers talk about our players. PSV manager about Anita, De Boer's brother about Winjaldum, and now this. They should just shut up and concentrate on their own players. The truth is that the PL is a step up from most other leagues and players need time to adapt and some players will never adapt. Having said that, Pardew didn't help.

His celebration is stupid!

Our transfer activity makes no sense ......
