Just before I write this, just want to say this isn't my opinion on the matter, i'm just hoying this up because i've seen a lot of debate about it recently. Has it got to the point where Shay Given needs Newcastle United more than Newcastle United need Shay Given. Yes, he's been our most consistent player for the best part of a decade and has given (no pun intended) us tremendous service over the years, but with Steve Harper in top form, Krul progressing nicely and Jussi expressing an interest has he become less valued than he was before? Has Shay been the same since the Harewood incident this time last year? Does he deserve to stay in the team based on his previous form? Discuss.

People keep going on as if we played shit. IMO Everton created fuck all except their first goal, the second being a fluke. On the other hand, we've stuck it in the net three times, Oba's missed a sitter and we've had numerous attempts at goal throughout the match, especially one's in the first 30mins drawing one top class save from Howard.

Just thought i'd mention the pivotal moment of the match: Cacapa's tackle on Anichebe. Without that, we'd probably have ended up with nothing. Stunning challenge.

I disagree.

I personally thought Abbers Faye was at fault for the first, despite him having an all round excellent game. Just watch the replay for it and the lack of effort to stop the move was ridiculous.

Our surgeon is a porn star? Sell Owen tbh.

Should do it the same way Manure sing "ROONEY, ROONEY, ROONEY" The best one is the "Emre....Emre, de le le le le" to the Stingray theme tune

Chelsea aren't stunningly quick. Oh, you said good teams.

Wouldn't be surprised if Speed was at SJP as a coach this time next year.

At middle of the premiership table level and lower, it's vital. Against class defenders, the advantage disappears massively, as mental quickness is as important as physical speed.

I thought the atmosphere was canny good today like. We had the longest Toon Toon ever in the first half in the Gallowgate. Lasted about 5 mins

Wasn't brilliant today, but I think in the long term, especially with Duff coming back, it's a quality idea. Never let's the full back settle on one individual winger and allows players to cut in or go to the byline. Something I've wanted introducing into our game for a while.

2-2

If only we still had Roeder to persuade him to come here

For England? Yes, imo.

What about Milner?

Has to play on the left for England. Quality player. Factalicious.

Working on IE but not MF for me.
