Personally dont buy this bringing signings forward to January, purely because they should have been done the summer before. It was patently clear we needed players then and the neglect shown imo was shocking. By bringing them forward to January, they club are effectively admitting they had no intention of recruiting for a whole season excluding Anita, which is criminal when you think about it. I'd rather we get the right players at the wrong time, than the wrong players at the right time.

Agreed. WE WANT KEEGAN BACK!

The only two that comes close to hate for me is Kinnear and Ashley, with Kinnear being the clear front runner. Though it is more a feeling of apathetic disappointment in their incompetence and stupidity. Ashley actually seems as if he is actually trying and means well, while Kinnear is just trying to save his shattered reputation.

I would say in a free role on the right side of a front 3. It demands alot of the rest of the team, both in terms of movement and protecting his side defensively, but it is really worth it.

I think I will just disappear and try to forget.

If things had gone a bit more against us, we could have been relegated this season. And there is two or three players from our team, that I would welcome into our team with open arms.

Then he can just come back here.

Before this season started I thought I was going to be a very hard season, especially with the very thin squad. For some reason I was thinking it would be typical us to get relegated. Then January came and the club really surprised me with actually adressing a lot of the issues of the squad, and from then on I was just looking forward to the next season. I was still very dissappointed with the liverpool and () matches and it almost took the believe away. I really do think we have a very good squad and they will benefit a lot from a pre-season together. I also think Pardew can do alright with them.

Would have been nice of him to make a couple anyway then. Naarh, he likes the drama, so he only uses his powers when it's needed.

If HBA had missed (which he didn't) he would have just made another goal, he could do what he wanted against that qpr defence.

What does the rules actually say? That the ball or the body of the keeper with the ball can't be outside the area? In regards to Elliot, he seems a very limited goalkeeper, not horrible, but not very good as well. Good enough to be number 2 though, as long as Krul doesn't get any long injuries.

As much as I hate the fucker, I do think he might actually have a point. I think we newcastle fans as a whole are far too impatient. Maybe it's just because most of my communication with other fans are on this forum.

I agree completely. I have barely been able to come here anymore, because I know how every discussion ends these days.

No no no no no no no no no no no,no.

We knew they would come at us in the beginning, we'll soon enough be in control. Still very confident.

I think it's perfect, I couldn't stand having to wait several hours, increasingly shaking more and more.

Chopra 2.0 Activate sleeper agent 227.

HBA to come on at half-time at 0-1 for Tiote: Cabaye - Sissoko HBA - Marv - Gouff Cisse 7-1

I hope it is Sissoko on the wing and marveaux in the middle, as marveaux seems a lot more out of position out there and doesn't track back as much.

Got 25/1 on Paddy Power, like. no doubt i could've got better odds but just stick with betfair these days. 33/1 on Skybet! That would be the first hattrick in his career, no?

Krul Debuchy - Taylor - MYM - Haidara Cabaye - Tiote Sissoko - Marveaux - Jonas Cisse

I think people have writen off Santon a bit too quickly. Admittedly he has had some mediocre performances, but he still has some amazing offensive qualities and is still young enough to develop his defensive capabilities. It might also see him bloom as a player if he was moved to the wing permanently (Bale). I would just hate to see another Milner-situation, where a player moves away and switches position (something a lot of people on here, were advocating with Milner), which makes him go from mediocre to amazing.
