"The ball in high is not going to trouble Newcastle." Right Gary, because we haven't conceded the most headed goals nor have they scored the most.

I'm assuming you're watching the American feed? Keep in mind they are constantly trying to introduce to the game/league to new fans. Wouldn't be much fun if you didn't know what you were watching.

"With Simpson out, Debuchy could make that RB spot his own." Riiight.

HOOOOOOOOOOF.

Good to know you can smack a player repeatedly around the neck to hold him off.

He sucks.

That would have been a decent start.

Colo smiling out of the tunnel.

I seem to recall that working for Swansea against us at their place last season... Oh wait... If we used that gameplan in our current state we would get annihilated. Depressing.

It's an awful point and I'm sick of reading it. There's ONE example of that working. Are you really suggesting that chopping and changing managers leads to more success? There are truckloads of examples across all sports that prove the exact opposite. It's not done this way, but changing managers should be a last resort when you're absolutely sure he's what's holding the team back AND there's a replacement you believe can take the team forward. I'm speaking in general terms here as I'm on the fence about Pardew at the moment. Better the devil you know for the time being.

He just told Wayne Routledge on Twitter that he's catching up to him in age. What a fucking moron.

"We’re not going to buy one for the money we’ve received for Demba. Money’s tight here, and we’re trying to get the best deal." -- Pardew in the Times Has this been discussed? I can't quite figure out what he means.

I once knew a guy named Loic - he was Swiss. He pronounced it Loyk.

The mood on here has swung dramatically all of a sudden.

Who do I miss the most? Ben Arfa - probably the most exciting player I've ever seen in B&W. Who does the team miss the most? Close one, but I'd go for Cabaye. I get that Williamson is a liability, but we coped with him last season. It's the protection (or lack of) in front of the back four that's killing us. The absence of Cabaye is one of the main reasons for that (Tiote's pathetic performances the other).

Incredibly poor the last two games.

Any optimism I clawed from losing a combined 11-6 in the last two games is well and truly gone. Debuchy is my last hope.

We can't even get the fucking ball.

Agreed.

I'm sure Pardew understands it just fine. It's not up to him.

Fellaini is a cock.

Like dropping him. Needs to realise that he's not indispensable for the club. Think he would drop him if we had HBA and Cabaye fit. Tough to do given the current options.

Difference between Ba and Cisse shown right there. Shola hits that shot, which was terrible. Cisse turns and claps, encouraging teammates. Ba would throw his hands up every time. I know a lot of strikers do this and it's part of what makes them good - they want the ball every time. But he's selfish to a fault.

Cisse He's awesome.

Tiote is a fool.
