2-2, Peter Crouch.

Bad miss from Keita. Should have fired it across the keeper.

Brilliant stuff from Kalou.

Wenger won't play his kids in their entirety next Sat, was a half and half team against Burnley and I'd like to believe we're better than that. Plus this is the FA Cup which is a tad more prestigious than the Carling. Even if it is at home, I don't think he'll be taking any risks.

He fits the bill perfectly - solid dm with class distribution, can hold while zog bombs forward as well as unlock defences. Would be a terrific signing imo.

He's more like Beckham than Gerrard imo with a bit more pace. Would still be a good but pricey signing though.

He can't really play anyone else. Beye and Martins are at the African Nations' and Viduka's injured. As for Owen you can't blame him for alot, he's barely had a kick.

Yeah that goal against Stoke was dead crap weren't it

Give it time, we'll win this.

Was born in '92 and have supported Newcastle since I was about 4, so 11 nearly 12 years now.

Scott Brown if Celtic would sell him.

If Rennie had the brain capacity to book Eustace in the first place for that train wreck of a tackle I doubt Emre would have retaliated tbh. Still, doesn't excuse the tackle.

Cacapa you legend!

Elbow on Eustace. Absolute stupidity.

1-0!

Sounds like Owen just went close.

I'd really like Houllier as manager - he knows the French market as well as anybody and offers a wealth of experience and class to the team.

Would like to see - Given Carr Cacapa Taylor Enrique Lua Lua Emre Zog Duff Owen Viduka

I feel like a numpty now Anyway, going for a comfortable 3-0.

Don't think Martins is available?

Nah he's not on it. Lawro and Alan Hansen instead.

We'll recover from this. 2 home games next against Stoke and Bolton are the perfect opportunity to get back on track. As for today, good first half performance but went completely tits up in the second.

Smith sent off.

Its the manner. They're not beating us out of good play, its just us pushing the self destruct button. again, what were you expecting? we held on well till half time, could have been 1-0 up even. thats as big a plus as this defeat is a negative. Agree. Been satisfied so far with our defending for the most part and our possessive play.

Viduka coming on.
