We appear to have found a formation that suits him perfectly.

Swansea keep the ball excellently, however, they appear to lack that cutting edge. First half they were basically passing it around the back four the majority of the time. It changed for a bit when Tiote went off and they looked threatening for 20 mins or so. Second goal killed the game dead. We are clinical in front of goal at the moment.

Hope he can get himself on the scoresheet on Monday, needs a confidence boost.

What. A. Finish

Any chance of Colo making monday? Perch slotting into midfield.

Would still have anyone other than Raylor in there. Gosling or Abeid are the obvious options.

Take it as a positive, mate. At least people are attempting some banter?

Yea sorry I laughed. The hard work bit was more the fact that I am trying to work out how all this twitter stuff works! Problem number 1: after the first goal has been scored, the page becomes a bit redundant 

Thanks lad. Yea I take your point, this was more for me just to try out and get to know twitter. Like you said it seems to be the more random stuff that gets noticed. This could be a lot of effort for not much reward, but we will see - you live and learn!

Its a graduate scheme with a big gambling company. It's in the job thread, but basically I got through to the last round of their public affairs interviews etc only for them to pull the scheme at the last minute. They offered me the chance to go through to the same stage on their corporate affairs scheme, which is much more PR based, and these are the pre-interview tasks. I am not really sure that PR is my thing, but am giving it ago. Thanks in advance for any contributions. If you really think it is that naff please don't be afraid to say. Any input will be welcomed. Basically it is a competition to get as much twitter activity as possible and also to get a news story into the media.

Lads,

Got to create a twitter account and get followers as part of a job application process. Never been on twitter before so trying to work it out, but basically have created @whowillscore1st and the hash tag #whowillscore1st. It's a bit naff I know and I am not sure if I will keep it up, but if any of you are on twitter and don't mind following me and even tweeting your prediction for first goalscorer then I would be most grateful!

Thanks in advance.

Good for the club's finances.

 

Bad for fans.

It's only moved back by half an hour isn't it?

Interesting tale from a mate at work.  His mate was at a dinner/talk in or something with Pardew on Thursday and apparently anytime Tiote has an injury, before he classes himself as match-fit the club have to fly in Tiote's witch doctor to give him the all clear. 

 

This week, for some reason they couldn't get the Witch doctor over to him so Tiote was going to have to fly back to Africa to see him.  Mike Ashley put on a private jet and Tiote was all ready for going but he gets a text on his phone (as he's about to board) from said Witch Doctor, turns to Pardew and say's "It's ok gaffer, I'm fit to play."

 

Not sure how true it is as it's mental but highly plausible given how superstitious/religious some people are.

Lads I sit with told me the same story yesterday.

He was outstanding today. Cannot believe some people think that we would be able to replace him relatively easily. Even on one of his worst days the protection that he provides the back four, even just by physically running into people, is invaluable. Swansea at home is a good example - he was far from at his best, but we still kept a clean shit. Would still rather have Cattermole of course.

 

that's a canny typo like

Just re-read it. No idea how that came about.

Looks some player.

Thought he was excellent today. His touch sometimes when a bad pass is fired at him is unbelievable.

Is turning himself into an excellent direct understudy to both Colo and Tiote.

Got a laugh from me.

Just got home. Managed to get on a train at central that didn't stop at Durham so had to go back via Darlo. On another day that would have really pissed me off, however, today I just took it in my stride. Get in.

Have been a big critic of his the last few weeks, but fair play to him today he was very good.

Most of them are just like yeah he spends ages in there, always washing his hair etc.

Tayls on the other hand stares down towards his bollocks and says Peter Lovenkrands, he's long, very long...it's embarrassingly long...i'm jealous
