Still can't get over the lack of a single wide/creative player in the entire squad today. Almost like Pardew has succeeded in shredding us of those pesky flair players. Luckily Remy is still around to drop a bit of quality every now and again.

Felt he was having a dig at Ben Arfa and Marveaux in that post-match. Talking about how we didn't have the technical skills today but had the effort and work rate.

Bentaleb

Pardew needs to swallow his pride and admit we need his creativity. We had Cisse on the right wing for the majority of the game today FFS. Now Remy is back, get him and Ben Arfa playing either side of De Jong. I realise he is rumoured to be injured today but I don't think he'd have been involved even if he wasn't.

Wasn't that bad I didn't think. Had to put it far enough wide to avoid the two defenders on the line, while also under a bit of pressure from the defender behind him. Also on his weaker foot. Cisse's first half was far worse.

Zero creativity for about 80 minutes of that match.

Awful. Amazes me he gets chance after chance, meanwhile Ben Arfa gets left to rot.

The game was utter shite. Had we been playing anybody with a hint of quality we'd have been comfortably beaten. Villa were shocking. We finally started to create a few chances once it was obvious Villa didn't want to try and win the game. De Jong made a difference, but any idiot could have told you putting him up top and Remy out wide was better than fucking Cisse on the wing Annoyed that the cunt is basically guaranteed to be our manager for the foreseeable. But ignoring that fact, I think it's good that we finally scored and got the win. Could mean the players finally start playing again. Shame we have almost no chance of keeping Remy permanently

Lucky cunt.

Sign of the rest of the season without this guy even as a option from the bench. Remy only player left with any flair

Dummett just pumps it long every time. Cisse is abysmal

If we don't win in style with lots of goals then I'd rather we lost heavy than scraped a shitty draw. At least that way the pressure would continue to build on the cunt.

Will always be my favourite ever player. Cristiano is awesome but just loved the original Ronaldo's style far more.

Amazing. I'd love to think they were performing artists and planned that all out. The slagging off the crowd, the disrespecting the judges, the terrible singing Like a bad guy in wrestling trying to get as negative reaction as possible haha.

It'd look a lot like this. http://i.imgur.com/l9xWpl6.gif what's the back story to this?

Ofcourse he isn't. Who would want to be in a cup final? No value in the cups don't you know.

name was like Smith_01 or something. Basically his favourite two players were Alan Smith and Michael Owen

I assume Williamson and Tiote are both out seeing as they are not in the any of the pictures, even the group shots. But there is still plenty of time before the game so they may well slot in. Can understand Sissoko going back on the wing as he's been poor in the middle since returning there, plus Pardew's dislike for Ben Arfa. It may be a 4-4-3 with Gouff on the right and Remy on the left with a middle 3 of Anita, Gosling and Sissoko. Shocking though if we do end up playing Gosling purely because of one injury to Tiote. Dat strength in depth

Bib theory going off the training pictures, the team for villa is Krul Debuchy Taylor Colo Dummett Sissoko Gosling Anita Gouffran Cisse Remy

So good news I guess. Ben Arfa is in the training pics for Villa. So he's not in the reserves with Marveaux. Bad news is going off the bib theory, the team for villa is Krul Debuchy Taylor Colo Dummett Sissoko Gosling Anita Gouffran Cisse Remy

Also that story about Pardew not being convinced by Steven Taylor and might sell him. How about you drop him and play the guy with far more potential who you paid £8m for just last year?

http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/exclusive-debuchy-leave-newcastle-interview-true-translation/? According to that, the quotes being used are wrong and paint a completely different picture to what was actually said.

Surely injuries were a bigger problem than his attitude? Or are you saying his attitude contributed to his injuries because of his conditioning etc? But yeah his career here was ruined by injuries for me. It was a miracle we got the money we did considering. Spent majority of his time injured at Real too I believe? Went to Boro where he managed to stay fit for a season or so which earned him a move to Spurs. Did well initially at Spurs then injuries plagued him once more.

Still can't get over how shoddy the renders are they could have asked any student currently studying 3D modelling and it would have looked far better.
