Excellent!

Tee hee! Might be worth staying with this game now

Totally agree, he did far more for the club than SBR. And that's in no way a dig at Robson. I've been saying this for years; everyone loved Sir Bobby, but KK's achievements here eclipse Robson's and are surely worth some sort of monument. Unfortunately we'll have to wait till the fat man goes to have any chance of that. A top five of the most important figures in our history would consist of: Frank Watt, Stan Seymour (sen), Colin Veitch, Joe Harvey and Kevin Keegan IMHO.

Aguero kicking off now

Wigan is tiny and the club was non-league for most of its history. A 25k seater is too big and the product of Dave Whelan financing them up the leagues. Oldham and Rochdale wouldn't sell out a 25k seater either so it hardly seems fair to criticise Wigan. McManaman on Haidara makes it always fair to criticise Wigan.

Aye, fair enough, that was a good'un.

Diame had another immense game today, he and Shelvey really look like the way forward as our midfield two. Maybe the only way Merino will get back into the team is if he takes Perez's no 10 role.

My word this lad looks the business! Best goalkeeping debut I can remember in my 40 odd years of supporting the toon.

Here we gan again, another bent official.

If we can go as far afield as Middlesbrough for players, then :Forster (Gk), Venison, Elliot, Howey, Woodgate, Clark, Watson, Gascoigne, Waddle, Beardsley, Shearer, would be a canny decent side.

This is what I worry about. A lot of people seem to have convinced themselves 'Oh it will all be fine in the end because Slimani will score the goals we need'. There's absolutely no guarantee of that at all. What? You worry that others look optimistically at Slimani, when the alternative is Gayle andJoselu? Christ, I thought I was glass half empty

Sarf Lahndan's finest right there.

We'll be fine once Slimani comes in for Gayle. Might as well have played with ten men today for what use he was.

This. It's hard enough on our s*** team to defend for their lives, let alone when they seem to be one of the only defences that don't get protection/benefit of the doubt from the ref. I'm happy to admit I'm firmly on the side of conspiracy against NUFC. Refs are bent. The reason I'm kinda on board with this is its been easy for officials to f*** us over for the last 10 years as theres no ambition or will to win from the top of the club, it creates the conditions where its accepted This. And Sky are a big part of it. The bias in the commentary is laughable. They were willing Palace on at times.

Glad someone else has noticed. Creaming themselves.

And people tell me the game's not bent.

The state of professional commentary/punditry is rank. I know everyone's never going to be happy but as a minimum it should be knowledgeable and fair. Not just the commentary today. The amount of times they have just shown footage of the dugout and replays during key plays off the match is terrible. This winds me up more than owt else. Twice early on they showed close ups of players involved in earlier incidents, when you could clearly hear the game going on. The commentary team and summarisers are all showing their usual anti NUFC bias, mind .

Because Dummett

I'll never let that one go like And neither should we. Easily the worst refereeing decision that I've ever seen.

The commentator certainly didn't have a clue, still talking about the "goal" when Cardiff are re starting the game with a free kick.

Sick to f*** of hearing this "careful what you wish for" s*** from every fuckin pundit. It's the new " deluded Geordies"

Haha quality speccy wanker signs from our crowd

That's the best worked goal I've seen all season.

I can only think of Pardew as an example of a more overrated clown in world football.

"But big Sam always gets results" says the media....
