I'm not quite sure what this guy is supposed to bring to the table. I'd take him out of the starting XI once Remy is back and give Cisse another game or two upfront with some help from Remy and hopefully Ben Arfa.

We're gonna get thrashed if Remy and Debuchy aren't back. Not sure if I'll even bother to watch this if the line up will be the same as against Everton.

We should have replaced Cabaye with Sigs imo

Would be the perfect replacement.

- He can shoot and has an eye for a pass, is creative on the ball which we very obviously lack

- Gylfi is a lot more combative in midfield than most people perceive, works very hard off the ball

- Works best in a midfield three, maybe along with Anita and Tiote

- Can take a mean set piece. No one is even remotely able to strike a dead ball in this team

- He's young and has a lot to prove after a barren spell in Tottenham

- Shouldn't be very expensive, Spurs are packed with midfielders

Hope Spurs buy more midfielders this summer so we can get him on the cheap.

de Jong has been garbage

Holy shit the passing is bad, it's like these guys have never even seen each other before. Dummett is also useless.

I hate Liverpool just as much as the next guy but I have to admit they've played some very nice football this season, very impressive and easy on the eye. Wouldn't mind if they won it rathen than City or Chelsea.

I just love it when non-Newcastle fans tell me of the wonderful job Pardew is doing and how ungrateful I am.

Wales 1 - 1 Iceland half time.

Legitimate point about Moussa Sissoko: He is a physical beast of a football player who is being used incorrectly by his manager in positions that limit his effectiveness on a match due to the gameplan and tactics that are installed by his manager.

 

He's not a DM, ACM/#10, Second Striker, Right or Left Winger/Midfielder.  The best form of his career was in a central role along side a defensive minded midfielder (Capoue). Yes, his physical attributes lend himself to be effective at times in the various other positions above, but that shouldn't be where he plays majority of a season.  He's best at deep runs, counter attacking and 1-2s.  He's also a force when he's standing up his man and getting his body in front and using his tremendous upper body strength to muscle opponents off the ball and burst forward with pace.

 

We bash the manager because on the whole, there are more players in our squad who have regressed in form (and value) since we have signed them over the course of 3 seasons. 

 

So finally, when the manager does more of playing him where he's been most comfortable throughout his career, versus playing him in those other positions, then let's f***ing talk.

Top post.

Only if this guy had a bit of end product.

If you're going to let your hysterical feelings towards an individual detract from moments like that then you may as well pack it in.

 

Clean sheet with only one really shaky spell in the first half, double the opposition's efforts on and off target. Couldn't have hoped for much better with confidence through the floor.

 

Impressed by Dummett & Anita again.

This. Hope this will instill some confidence in the team. De Jong also gives me a bit of hope, a lot better on the ball than Cisse.

 

Lots of love for Ibra. Shame he's wasted the vast majority of his career in awful leagues.

 

Because he hasn't played in the PL? He's played for pretty much all the top clubs he could have FFS

 

2 years in Spain granted, but most of the rest in that horrible Italian bollocks and now France. Just a shame such a great player has been wasted like that.

 

Jesus Christ. Ron Brittania is seriously the most fitting name I've ever seen anyone be called. Get a grip.

He's not wrong tbh.

 

Where could Ibra have gone to make his career better? The PL, it's not the be all and end all man, he's played for Ajax/Milan/Juve/Barca he's literally don't the opposite of waste his career

 

 

Saying Ibra has wasted his career playing for 5 historically enormous clubs in 3 nice cities (Turin being the only meh city).

Milan is awfully boring.

decent post imo

As far as I'm concerned, this guy is one of the best football columnists around. World class stuff.

I'm not even angry or annoyed after yesterdays showing. I just feel jaded and indifferent. Please, Mike Ashley, just sell the club. No one is enjoying this.

I fucking love this Real Madrid team.

Call me a naive and sentimental fool, but I loved having a Geordie No 9 smashing them in for us.

Same here. Say if West Ham go down this season, and if there is any justice in this world they will, I'd take him back in a heartbeat. For a nominal fee of course. I for one genuinely believe he was forced out of the club against his will and as someone mentioned above, supporting NUFC hasn't been the same since he left. It kind of proved once and for all that everything is for sale and there is absolutely no integrity or loyalty left in football.

@SkySportsNews

Sky sources: Chelsea make £20m bid to re-sign Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic #SSN

Finally they buy an attacking midfielder.

Why haven't I seen this before?

Why haven't I seen this before?

Should we have had a penalty for a push on Williamson in the first half? Havent seen it back

at the time it was a stonewaller, waiting to see it again.

 

Bet it'll be one of the things that doesn't make the highlights.

Forgot about that. Can't recall if it was ever shown again during the game on TV.

Didn't think Pardew had that in him. Overall a good display from us but we so evidently need a striker so we can move Remy to the flank.

And also RIP Samir Nasri. Horrible little shit.

I don't really ever watch Man Utd unless we are playing against them but is Fabio any good? Someone mentioned above that his contract ends this summer. I think I've never seen him play and I haven't heard about any clubs sniffing around as his contract is running up.

If we aren't in for him at this price we're probably not looking to get anyone in at all. Ridiculous.

Looking forward seeing him getting a run in at right back.
