Hibbert is a solid Premiership right-back, but he shouldn't really be first choice for a team looking at top 6 or 7.

He has a head like a baboons arse.

Good news.

10.

Geordies are geet think like I've already made the dictionary joke once so I'll refrain from doing it again. That's a fair effort tbh.

Carroll and Lovenkrands up front please, Nile to get half an hour.

Contender for most unexpected post of the year.

Would rather Geremi played. They're both too slow and rather limited but Geremi has an ounce of quality in him and offers the occasional decent shot and decent cross or pass.

So fuck? When was the last time the cup reflected league form. Did I say at any point that was the case? Holloway clearly knows how to get his team fired up for the bigger games, and obviously they have some quality in the side if they can turn over a decentish team like Wigan with relative ease. I also love it how everyone has jumped on me here for that post because I've used rational thought and explained how this situation could become positive using understandable prose.

Why is everyone leaving Carroll out of their chosen team? Did he go off injured or something?

Can I please just remind everyone that Blackpool beat Wigan 4-1 in the cup the other week, a side that included the likes of Scotland and other first-teamers. This isn't too bad so long as Saturday yields three points. If that is the case, then disaster averted.

I will have huge respect for Hughton if he drops Butt for Smith.

We should beat this lot comfortably. Poor team, very poor manager. 3-0

Its a terrible result regardless. Any game we play like that & hughton makeas those decisions is a terrible result. It's not a terrible result... yet. It's a bad result. If we win against Plymouth this Saturday, then this result is not significant. We were always going to end the unbeaten streak at some point, it was just a matter of when. If we fail to beat Plymouth (who imo are doomed already) then this does become a terrible result. Boro and WBA play eachother this weekend too, so at least one of them has to drop points. This is far from a disaster yet ffs.

This is only a terrible result if we fail to beat the shower of shit managed by Sturrock (lol) that is Plymouth. If we win Saturday, then this isn't too bad. We were always going to lose at some point, was just a matter of when. All about the reaction this weekend.

Two disasters in a row Answer me this: how can a 0-1 win away from home be a disaster?

Do you know if the game is on TV mate? Why can't I get radio coverage on the BBC Newcastle website?

Is it just me or has the server been failing?

Got one saying Dave was highly stressed trying to fix it. Said there was intense pressure on his hairline and his breathing capacity.

That makes him about eight times better than Butt already.

That kit is fukken awsum.
