£100? Yeah something like that. Got a little to into the idea that Newcastle could be owned by fans

I became a life member lol

Two front ones and a molar would be about the national average right?

I honestly don't know how anyone can confidently say Williamson is better than a fully match fit Saylor, and that is from someone that thinks Williamson is premiership quality.

Krul Simpson Sol Willo Enrique Routs Tiote Guthrie Jonas Carroll Lovenkrands

What was wrong with Guthrie today? put in some peach crosses that deserved better from Lovenkrands. Not a right winger obviously and didn't run at anyone. But alot of our best chances were off his passes.

Krul - 8 Solid Enrique - 8 Made Johnson and Kelly look very ordinary when challenged. Didn't create much up front as he would of liked. Willo - 7.5 Good game Colo - 7.5 Same as above and passing was tidy as always Simpson 7.5 Getting forward alot which has been good. Delivery needs some work though. Jonas 7.5 Ran well with some great attacking forays into opposition half. Some good crosses too but some duds as well. Not a consistent crosser of the ball and he can't shoot. Tiote 7 Normal service resumes. Should definitely stay back on attacks though. Nolan 5.5 Yes he actually played... Blocked Carrolls goal bound shot. Hopeless shooter from outside the box and just can't run enough. Guthrie 8 Some quality crosses/ set plays today. Don't think we missed Barton at all today Carroll 8.5 I know he didn't score today but that could have been the best i've seen him play. Contributed so much in his presence and the way he held up the ball was Viduka like and challenged Schwarzer a few times. Deserved a goal. Lovenkrands 6 Is quick and can do some clever runs so will get opportunities but not a natural finisher or good on the ball Wasted some great crosses from Guthrie. Shola would have scored Ranger. 6 Looked lazy out there to me. Needs to be loaned out. Routledge 6 was brought on too late and had no time to make a impact. Hughton 8 I along with others were peeved with guthrie starting ahead of wayne but he got that right today. Subs were 10 minutes late. Nolan should also have come off

PLayed well against a good side. Shola plays today and i think we win 3-0 Just one of those games where we couldn't get it into the back of the net.

If only those chances fell to a real striker...

Fulham looking the more likely to win

In position for Williamson winning the header. (which he should have imo)

I'm all for giving him some game time here and there. But not when we are chasing the game! Lovenkrands was definitely the better option for me today though i know he isn't good enough for this level either. Need a premier league quality striker in Jan and to get rid of some of the junk we have up front at the moment. Send Ranger out on loan to a Championship or League One side. Getting time in the premier league should help him find a better club.

Wouldn't mind trading Wayne Routledge plus a mill or two for Chris Brunt

Unreal performance!!! Krul 9 Fantastic in the air today and that save of Nasri was top shelf. Better than any keeper Arsenal have got. Enrique 8.5 Strong and quick. Didn't get forward alot but had a faultless game Willamson 8.5 Great in the air and rarely troubled by Chamakh or Van Persie. Colo 9 Led the backline fantastically and as always great on the ball. So calm and composed. Simpson 7.5 To me he looked visibly nervous in the second half and lost the ball dangerously. Solid otherwise. Jonas 8 Didn't see as much of the ball as he normally does but was a tidy passer and had a through decent runs out of trouble. Nolan 8 Tidy when he had the ball. didn't cover as much ground as you would want from a CM. Tiote 10 Won the midfield battle on his own. Shields the ball and turned players with ease and very composed in possession. Barton 8.5 Was wasteful with his crosses and set plays in the first 30 minutes or so but was very high quality after that. Ameobi 8.5 Couldn't keep it up for 90 minutes and was visibly tiring towards the end but he gave it his all and held up the ball well. Carroll 9.5 Gave everything he had and of course scored the winner. Won alot of balls in the air, held up the ball well. Coming on well Ranger 7.5 Laughed my ass of with his goal attempt. Did well to get behind the arsenal defender at the end there.

Should this now be merged with the "Not Worthy of a Thread" thread?

Similar to Smith in that he just isn't good enough at this level any more. Smith has injuries as his excuse, Nolan is just pure utter shite.

Krul 6 High Balls aren't his forte but otherwise not too bad. Perch 5 Nice goal...wanker Williamson 6.5 Didn't see him win many headers in defence. Colo 7.5 Considering his weakness is balls in the air thought he was great today. Enrique 7.5 Typical good performance Routledge 5 Did he get a touch? Tiote 7 thought he was great in the first half. Not as prominent in the second Barton 7 Looked great in the playmaking role today though no much came off. HBA 6.5 some great touches but didn't find the space he excels in. Nolan 4 Offered nothing (i'll admit I hate the guy so this is a bit biased) Carroll 5 playing as a lone striker against Stoke was a horrible strategy. Barely won a header all day. Jonas 7 great when he came on provided Carroll and Nolan with our late chances. Ameobi 6 Not much time and was closed down as soon as he touched it

Against a team you would argue would expose his Achilles heel (Balls in the air) I thought he was great today.

Why is Kevin Nolan in our starting 11? Krul Perch Colo Williamson Enrique HBA Tiote Barton Jonas Carroll Ameobi

It will be something prepared for in training i would imagine. Chris and th goalkeeping Coach would have told him how to approach it.
